Jon Stewart finally returned with a new episode after a two-week hiatus. He and the audience sounded extremely excited to be back. He noted that he was completely revitalized after having all the blood in his body transfused, just like Keith Richards. He also brought up the news that Canada recently broke up a terrorist plot. "Congratulations on becoming a terrorist target!" Jon said to Canada. "Lot of us didn't think you had it in ya."

If you've ever wished there was a way to kill time while pumping gas, other than staring off into space and picking your nose, which is my preferred method of killing time, NBC Universal Television Stations group and VST Media Network may have a solution for you. They're equipping gas pumps in select areas with tiny screens which will broadcast three-minute news, sports, and entertainment briefs in markets with affiliate stations owned and operated by NBC. Right now only people in Los Angeles can see the screens, though more are expected to pop up in San Francisco and San Diego this year. The screens will eventually be added to other gas stations across the country. Apparently, the three-minute length is how long it takes to fill a typical gas tank. I wonder if they'll have longer versions for truck drivers.
