Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Rachel Maddow On "Daily Show": "Insulted," "Embarrassed" By Bush, MSNBC Compared To Munsters

Video!

Stewart and Maddow should get gay-married and have lots of babies.

Gus *was* allegedly an attractive, charming, middle-aged black man...

With "family" in "Africa" and a homebase in the midwest....

HAH! You people are making me laugh and laugh.

Hivemind: My DH and I were set to buy a painting from an artist who sent us three options. While we were debating, the artist sent us an "oops!" email and said the price of one has been publicly listed at over $500 more than he originally quoted. Of course, it's our favorite. Are there issues with him selling at a price lower than publicly listed that we don't know about? For example, if it's in a gallery (I don't know that it is) is he bound to the public price?

Normally, I'd just assume he was trying to squeeze us for more money, but I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

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

Elderly, actually.

Always Anti-fascist!

Obama is also a very passionate Wire fan, as Gus claimed to be often. Well played, Senator!

Sparky, if it was in a gallery, I would assume the artist would have to pay a commission based on the listed price of the piece.

..so then who is the woman you hired to meet us as "flea"? And those adorable children?

That's what I want to know.

Are there issues with him selling at a price lower than publicly listed that we don't know about?

AFAIK, only if he has a contract with a gallery that covers that particular piece.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

My only disappointment with the Daily Show and Colbert being back is they have NOT mentioned the shoe-throwing incident at all. I was hoping that would be Jon's lead item.

Oh well, we DID get another Tek Jansen adventure.
