I’m beginning to wonder if there is a vast right-wing conspiracy against The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I’m currently nestled into my hotel room in Chicago and would love nothing more than to catch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report before knocking off to sleep and yet… whenever I’m in the US I find that no matter how many channels the hotel has, neither show can ever be found.

Ah the irony. In order to watch the Daily Show I have to be in Canada…

Sadly, I did catch a few seconds of The O’Reilly Factor, long enough to hear how the current mess in Iraq is the fault of the corrupt, and lazy Iraqi administration whose vacations are too long and who remain insufficiently grateful for America’s sacrifice. Good to know that on Fox news, Iraq has finally debacle status, it’s just not the White House’s fault.
