I'll be linking some pieces on Michael Lewis and his new book on the Wall Street collapse later, but this is a fantastic Daily Show segment on how some major corporations get away with what should be illegal.
This is priceless. I especially liked how Jon put it all into perspective for all us re-tards who didn't quite understand how the robber barons pulled off the greatest heist in the history of the world right before our eyes with his 900 dollar Volvo (an object of ridicule and scorn, and a sure sign of loserness where I come from). Between Stewart and Colbert (putting Carl Rove's hamhead in the meatgrinder recently) I don't know who's more outrageous with their truthiness. I think it is a sad day in America when the supposedly comediennnes make more common sense and teach more people about current events than the "real news" people.
