On an unrelated note, me and my friend started a website to design personal business cards at vizitka.cz. "Vizitky" means business cards in English, but we sell also personal cards, allowing you to design them on-line, very easily. Wish us luck :-)

Great interview with Jon Stewart
Look at this fairly long, but terrific Jon Stewart On The Rachel Maddow Show Uncut, it is a great summary of what Jon Stewart and his team do, but also much wider ideas about TV. Don't miss it.

Obama's turning troops into GeekSquad, Jon says
The troops will have different tasks. Again. Jon highlight the similarities of Obama's and Bush's plans on how to "end" war in Iraq.
Maybe you should reclassify the soldiers as trees so they never have to go...b

Barack Hussein Obama - attack someone by his name i lame
This is supposed to be a serious journalism, but it sounds like a lame joke to me:
The Daily Show mocks this perfectly:

Obama's been laid in with name which causes all kinda problems. Al Qaeda? Who's sayin' Al Qaeda?

Finest moment of Bush's presidency?
Bush:I don't see America having problems.
Jon Stewart: I think that might be our biggest problem.

The slogan you don't deserve
Aparently, republican party ("party of status quo") decided to change their slogan. Not only is that slogan kind of inappropriate since their president is serving his eighth year, but also it seems they are not the first one to have this slogan. "The change you deserve" is already taken by Effexor - antidepressant, medicament against stress.
Also, let's rememer that Jon Stewart promised that, should he ever start a war, he would stop playing squash and abandon his yacht. Also, he reminds that Philip Morris Companies renamed to Altria Group - and that way they can keep killing people.

Funny? Windows 95 explained by Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry (vitnage Microsoft 30 mins video tutorial)
I stumbled upon this video on YouTube and I cannot but share it with you. I love Matt Perry and Jennifer Aniston (or Chandler and Rachel) and so I enjoyed this weird video and even laughed few times. More info about this 1995 video here on IMDB.
Lame jokes prevail, but there are some good moments. Matthew Perry and Jenifer Aniston are doing their best to exploit their Chandler and Rachel characters.
Part 1
Microsoft was obviously trying to get the attention of the youth. I don't know how they did, but I guess today they are both hated and used by the majority of the planet.
Part 2
This video provides some interesting historic insight into how people perceived Microsoft Windows 95. Those features we find boring today were amazing by then.
Part 3
Explained in this video: drag and drop, plug and play, taskbar, printer installation wizard (Perry:better than installation ogre), email, multitasking, Pinball, video from CD (remember video being something unusual on the computer?), File Explorer, fax sending, audio player, and of course, the mysterious red button.
Part 4
I'm really sorry Bill Gates didn't show up himself. He probably realized he doesn't need to make this kind of fool of himself:-)
P.S. I know this is blog about The Daily Show, don't worry, it won't change. By the way, Matthew Perry was on Daily Show, and so was Jenifer (although it is rather involuntary appearance). Also the last episode of Friend got Jon's attention. And I cannot forget to mention Matthew Perry in SNL - Sarcasm 101.

Perry: Oh, and no messy DOS build-up!
Assistant: What is this, a paper towel commercial?

That preacher sure is crazy. But the media are so much worse...
Media coverage of this Obama's former preacher is horrible.
Luckily, there is The Daily Show to make it even worse :-)

Has Hillary still a chance to win? And who cares about Pensylvania once the primaries there are over?
OK, this shows how Hilary thinks about voters. "Come on, are we going to count that state? If we were Republicans, I'd have already won..."
Luckily here's my favorite Brit to show us the paradox of primaries in Pennsylvania: one day everyone cares about the state, the other day the state is forgotten....

US Military biasing news media
I guess it shouldn't have surprised me, but somehow I thought they wouldn't go for it so blatantly. Of course military wants to have some influence on what is reported, but the Iraq war shows us the extremes. Message Force Multipliers, that is rich.

Bowling for Pensylvania
In presidential race, we often lose perspective on importance. But there are some things that are beyond any doubts the core essence of the true politician: sport skills. So media are doing fair job informing us about possible flaws in our potential future leaders' abilities to rule the country.
Seriously, why does that even matter? Perhaps The Daily Show has the answer - Presidents first pitch.
Well, Jon Stewart himself tried it once as well, so he probably isn't all that independent to report on importance of sport exhibition.
Here is another excellent bowling video.

7 jobs of "The PC Guy" John Hodgman
You surely know John Hodgman, American humorist and one of the best Daily Show correspondents, in my opinion. But first, I encountered him in hilarious commercials from Apple Computers. I'm sure you know them: Hello, I'm a Mac... And I'm a PC. Here is one of the best collections of "Get a Mac" ads:
But John Hodgeman is a man of many occupations. I decided to review them. I enjoyed putting this together, so I hope you'll enjoy it as well. If you love John Hodgman, you will know most of them by now, but a comprehensive collection never hurts.
John Hodgman - Computer Expert (Net Neutrality)
John Hodgman - Historian (When to judge Bush)
John Hodgman - Astronom (Is Pluto a Planet?)
In Prague Atronoms decided that Pluto is not a planet. Why? Because it is roughly the size of a glass eye.
John Hodgeman - Meteorologist
How do experts predict the future weather? John Hodgman majored in hurricanes, his minor were Crisp Fall Days :-)
John Hodgman - Physician, Medical Expert
Talking about Human Growth Hormone.
John Hodgeman - Martial Arts Expert
John Hodgman - Motivational Speaker
This is my favorite: John explains is system 8 keys to success.
There are several more occupations, but that would be for another spot. Thanks for watching, if you liked this, keep an eye on Best videos of Daily Show blog :-)

Certainly not The Daily Show - Writers Strike SumUp
The Writers strike is over and here are three videos to summarize it. For me, it was kind of fun, watching Jon Stewart and his correspondents working without the staff, and I think they did very well. Mayby the writers came back because they just missed the fun:-)
This is how The Daily show came back as A Daily Show in the middle of strike January 7 2008.
Even Jon Oliver went to strike, as a writer, not as a correspondent, though :-)
What was the strike about? Money, of course.
This is what the writers did during the strike:
And here is the first Daily Show after the writers came back. I just love the introduction!

Early electronic voting systems in USA
"Can electronic vote be trusted?" asks the Wall Street Journal article back from November 2006. Despite my zeal for virtually anything electronic, I must say that I was quite concerned about this kind of questions. If the system is owned by a private company, you can't really tell what is happening with your vote, and you have no way to check it, given there is no palpable evidence of how you voted.
But as John Hodgman explains, that doesn't matter. You can just imagine that "things" happen inside the computer.
And while we're at it, have a look at this (well known and old, but hilarious nonetheless) video of how that might eventually work... Electronic voting: Kerry and Bush

What has Bush ever done for us?
President Bush had his final annual speech State of the Union. Surprisingly, he stated that the Union remains strong. "Despite everything Mr. president did, that is," adds Jon Stewart. And what did Bush do for us? Six years ago, he passed the No child left behind act. "And that was it!"
I loved the link to the Kyoto protocol, which the USA failed to sign, despite their declared effort to stop the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
