DailyShow AfterGlow 2005.1 (Jan 4, 2005)

Moment of Zen: women talking on "The View" about a supermodel who'd been to the Maldives for her honeymoon...a month ago. awww...sorry to hear that, that was a close call!

Lead Story: Tsunami Disaster

Algebra Homework: If the US govt originally offered 15 million in relief aid to the Tsunami victims and that is 1/5 of what it costs for 5 hours of war in Iraq, and we have now increased "how much we care" to a total of 350 million...at the current rate of inflation, how many hours until the end of the war in Iraq?

Here's my 1.11 cents: "fundraising effort" is a great start but a check or credit card will not do nearly as much good as if we all started to care a little bit more about what is going on ALL the time, not just when there is a disaster. Also, what an incredible coincidence that there was an earthquake in Bam, Iran a year earlier. Statistically, what are the odds of that?

In a story about Teen Kids TV news, a list of teen interests as 1) smoking pot 2) masturbating and 3) masturbating while smoking pot. Its important to know "how to stay relaxed". Exercise, meditation, yoga and tai-chi work also.

Mess O Potamia - Iraq's elections are coming up. After seeing the difference between reactions to elections in the US and Ukraine, which approach will Iraq take? I think at least in Ukraine they have had their democracy for a short enough time to know what it is worth. Isn't the US cute, thinking we invented and perfected democracy here?

ARABIC SIGHTING: the Iraqi flag appears in the Daily Show's Mess O POTAMIA logo. The words on the flag are in Arabic, and they say:
Allah Akbar - God is Great / Islam, you may oknow already, actually means peace.

Now - talking with Guest Paul Giamatti from Sideways, Jon says "I know a little something about beer and cigarettes." My bet is that he's figured out both of these two LEGAL products are killing us, and putting our healthcare in crisis, costing us a fortune, while the drug war tries to keep us all from being able to use a medicinal herbal plant to RELAX!

New Daily Show Term of the Day: Re-bring the Enthusiasm / a good description of the ascencion process now underway on earth. We are being called to raise our vibration (enthusiasm) in fact, it is happening everywhere in the universe at once so trying to hold back is just making this process harder.

In this show, Jon Stewart asked the question: who are the journalists of tomorrow. I AM. I AM. Bloggers are!

PS. They played a repeat, not sure from which date but, I thought I heard a GUEST from http://www.lemonysnicket.com/index.cfm Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events make the COMMENT: is it TRUE OR FALSE? THE HARP - IS AN AMERICAN INSTRUMENT? I thought ANGELS played harps?? This was the same episode where the two main topics were Abstinence for Teen Sex and Homeland Security...featuring a guy who is a "Security Consultant" in NY who couldn't come up with anything better to describe the meaning of Christmas than a "jolly f^cking fat guy who makes you feel good". Anyone else as unsure, should consider a Google quest. Where did Christmas come from and what about the rest of the world (Hanukah, festival of lights, the hindu also have a festival of light. Isn't winter when we ALL need more LIGHT? Northern Hemisphere only of course. ;0)
