You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls.

The other day I found out that Daily Show host Jon Stewart had appeared on CNN's Crossfire. I've watched Crossfire a couple of times; it's a show where pretty much you have two people debating with virtually no rules at all. Jon Stewart's the Daily Show appears on the Comedy Network and pretty much takes world/political news in an almost satirical fashion... that is...it presents it that way.

When Jon appeared on Crossfire, he was telling those people on Crossfire that they weren't doing a good job and they were telling him that he wasn't doing a good job of being an investigative interviewer (Jon had John Kerry on the show and didn't ask him serious questions). If the point of that show was to have Jon debate something with the other two (Begala and Carson), well...it didn't' get very far IMHO. They didn't try to answer any questions, only just try to reciprocate accusations right back on Stewart.

The main difference here, as mentioned in the title of this blog, was that Jon represented a show on Comedy Network, whereas Crossfire is featured on CNN, a major news network that is somewhat more credible than Comedy Network (or at least should be more credible)

Apparently more people had downloaded and watched the video clip of it on their computers than had watched it when it aired on CNN. It was all over the P2P networks (I found it on a bittorrent given out by slashdot.org)

Cow and Kitten(s)

After rather uneventful Friday and Saturday (zzzz, chomp, study, study, chomp, study, slurp, bla bla bla, zzz). I went up to Peterborough (ish...actually a little north of it and closer to Lakefield) to visit a Justin. I hadn't seen him for a while so I decided to make the trip.

Having never driven to his place before, the trip up was kinda odd because I kept thinking I was driving in the wrong direction. But luckily I made it there in one piece, missing only one turn off, the final one.

It was great seeing him again. I got to meet the people he was living with as well as their oh-so-cute kittens that are only weeks old and about the size of a kid-sized shoe; I wish I'd brought my camera so I could take pictures. Justin's house (the big white one on top of the hill hehe) has an amazing view of a skyline with a huge expanse.

Anyways, once i arrived, i called him since nobody answered the front door. I was on the front porch and he was on the side. We had burgers for lunch before Justin took me on a brief tour of his school and its dorm. Then we headed back to the camp (He lives in a house just at the front of a Day camp called Hope Valley, just before Jumbo's gas station) for an afternoon of paintball. That was particularily fun; they don't hurt much. Mind you, I didn't get to play much as my gun kept on jamming but it was still fun to watch when i couldn't play. After that we hung out a bit more with the kittens, watched Justin as he mooed with the cows (did I mention that there were cows and kittens on the ranch?). Then ordered pizza. I left at around 930ish that night and got home tired. It was a good day.
