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.

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

I just went over the emails, and I don't think this one was/is in a gallery. Originally he said, "about x price, I won't know until I frame it" and now he says "publicly listed at x + $550".

Bummer-drag.

Okay, this is kind of awesome:

Porn industry seeks federal bailout

Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis said Wednesday they will request that Congress allocate $5 billion for a bailout of the adult entertainment industry.

Francis said in a statement that “the US government should actively support the adult industry's survival and growth, just as it feels the need to support any other industry cherished by the American people."

Flynt and Francis concede the industry itself is in no financial danger — DVD sales have slipped over the past year, but Web traffic has continued to grow.

But the industry leaders said the issue is a nation in need. "People are too depressed to be sexually active," Flynt said in the statement. "This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex."

"With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind. It's time for congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly."

That must be a very nice frame, Sparky. Then again, a professional frame job is very spendy.

Surely the porn industry will be revitalized by the influx of good-looking realtors and banking employees looking for jobs in a different field?

Of course Tintin's gay. Ask Snowy

Snowy: The only unambiguously heterosexual male mammal in Tintin's entire universe. We know that because of Snowy's tendency to be distracted by lady dogs: a tendency in which he is consistently foiled by his master and by Hergé's plot. Pity this dog, wretchedly straight and trapped in a ghastly web of gay human males.

Clearly, it's Clovis.

Seriously, I can't stop laughing at the sequence of events, especially now that I know the dude was uninjured. [link]

Hah!! I love the two cats in that penultimate picture--the one on the left is all "WTF is going on?" and the one in the middle is all "Look what fun I started--joke's on the human here!"

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

Amen.
