Call 212-BIG-GUNS for Geraldo now! at Daniel Spisak on Technology

Recently I was watching Stephen Colbert doing his bit over at The Colbert Report on Comedy Central when I had the opportunity to see him talk about a subject that I happen to find just as important as he did. That topic of course was voter turnout in America. Colbert talked about how in Austrailia people get small fines for not voting come election day. If you ask me its a pretty easy way to help ensure that American’s might be more motivated to get out of the house and vote come the next election.

Of course, Colbert’s spin on what this would creat in America I find especially hilarious, given that I believe I already live in a Dumb-ocracy what with Bush and his cronies getting elected back into power for a second term in a row. One can only hope people have learned their lesson and will give

Before I saw the Colbert clip however there was this hilarious running gag going on between Colbert and Jon Stewart on The Daily Show regarding Stewart having to apologize to Geraldo Rivera and Bill O’Reiley. Stewart of course has no idea what Colbert is talking about which prompts them to roll a clip from O’Reiley’s show on FOX where he and Geraldo basically bad mouth Stewart and Colbert as insignificant chuckle hucksters in a narcissitic attempt to justify their only blowhard like self-worth. It’s totally worth downloading and watching.

Also of humor was what The Daily Show did with their projection backgrounds on the set on the way out to commercial break. Check it out in the picture to the left.
