Do you think that a brown, Muslim comedian avoids facing the political nature of his very being as a performer in post-9/11 America? Can you transcend this by just playing any role by avoiding it?

Who Would Be a Better President? I Say, Who Ran a Better Campaign?
Obama identified a goal, came up with a plan to attain that goal, and followed it. Not a bad thing for an administration to do, no? And what of McCain's campaign? The only continuity was the consistent lack of it.

Make no mistake, FOX is willing to do whatever it takes to advance their conservative agenda. They will lie, smear, and distort to their hearts' content.
Dubious Praise for The Daily Show
If -- as the New York Times soberly reported -- "straight news programs cannot" tackle the "big issues of the day" while "speaking truth to power," we should ask a key question: Why not?

The dramatic increase in ships taken hostage for ransom seems a bit too easy in my opinion . The Somali pirates have brought in millions and are obviously well funded .
