Craig Ferguson gives an eulogy to his father

For those who read this blog and I am sorry you have to. (for sure, as a friend you read it out of sheer courtesy ;)

But the countless hours we WASTE (yes waste) surfing the internet. Every so often you stumble upon something that touches you. Be it a video, a movie, an article or a song you feel the need to share it with the people you know, with the hope that they enjoy it as much as you.
 
...this is a very touching tribute from a son to his father....

Jon Stewart taking on the CNBC

Déjà vu!!! It was Crossfire all over again, only better. This time the producers of Daily Show had control on when to go on a break. Once again the journalistic integrity of the 24 hrs news channel was questioned with ruthless precision.

Normally even when confronting someone, Jon throws in a bit of comedy. But this time there was no holding back, no attempt made to throw in a slapstick comment. Cramer, who unfortunately has become a face of CNBS in this battle, did a very sensible thing of not making baseless argument. But then again, I dont think he was given much of a chance.

The best line of the show came when Cramer said he does it because there is a market/need for it to which Jon said "so is for Cocaine and Hookers"

I cannot wait to see the unedited interview on The Daily Show's website. http://www.thedailyshow.com

!!Kudos to you Jon!!
