Congrats, Matt.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
"don't do this, this is bad! If my mommy was here, she'd be mad at me!"
THAT is hilarious. And yeah, I try to set a good example around the young'uns.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay, Matt. Is your commute going to be any better?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A Look Back at Jon Stewart's Greatest Gay Moments
There’s a whole lotta gay going on in the brand-spanking-new archive of The Daily Show video clips launched last week by Comedy Central. Ever since 1999, when a relatively unknown political humorist named Jon Stewart took over as anchor and made “fake news” a household word, the anti-gay elements of society have been one of the main targets of his increasingly impassioned, brilliantly funny fake newscasts. So let’s check out the best of the best by looking at the highlights of the last eight years, stopping along the way to note a time or two The Daily Show really blew it (and not in a good way).
I...
What sets Stewart apart, aside from his tremendous mainstream popularity, is that his humor conveys a deeply-rooted sense of personal outrage at anti-gay policies, laws, and attitudes. He doesn’t, like Maher, support gay civil rights as part of an overall libertarian or progressive political ideology, but because, as he told conservative pundit Bill Bennett in what may be the greatest interview of Stewart’s career, gay equality is part of “the natural progression of the human condition” because “every gay person [is] someone’s son or daughter.” And in Stewart’s mind, apparently, you just don’t treat your kids like that.
Has both video clips and discussion of the clips.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Wrong, wrong, and wrong. They got the name right, though.

Yay, Matt. Is your commute going to be any better?
Oh yeah... it'll now be about 7 minutes instead of 85. Basically, I'll be as close to my office as it's possible to live without being in the crappy HUD apartments on the north side of town.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Sue, congratulations on the new job! Any monkey-handing involved?
I should get your spare key back to you - when would be a good time?
