Rumor has it that The Daily Show's Jon Stewart is in talks with the Washington Post to provide online content for the Post's 2008 election coverage. Neither Comedy Central nor the WashingtonPost.com's editor would confirm the story. As Daily Show followers may remember, Indecision 2004 was released as a DVD and garnered the show's writers and correspondents tremendous critical acclaim. Stewart's deal with the Post would have him providing written, not video, content to the site. It would be a huge coup for the paper and would make it much more difficult for Stewart to maintain his apolitical, "I'm an entertainer; I don't influence the news" claim.

The holiday weekend passed without Vice President Dick Cheney shooting anyone else. Hurrah! However, the injured man popped up in the news again... this time to apologize to the Vice President. Yeah, you read that right. What an awesome position Dick Cheney is in, to be able to shoot a guy in the face and then have the victim come to you and say, "My bad". For this, Mr. Cheney, I am in awe.
