Rhapsodies

I’m a big fan of both the Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Because of this I have a bad habit of looking for news articles about especially good bits. Most of the time they’re just showing the clip but occasionally they provide interesting comments.

So anyway, I was doing this after the Daily Show’s latest bit on Wisconson today and the first headline I saw was;” Jon Stewart’s hysterical defense of teachers.” My immediate response was, “Hey! Whatever you think about the demonstrations, Stewart’s response wasn’t hysterical! It was done in his usual sarcastic deadpan!”

Then I actually read the article and then, slightly embarrassed I said “Oh yeah. Hysterical also means really funny. That makes sense since Jon Stewart is, you know, a comedian.
