It's Friday: Daily Show explains why gas prices are so high
On a recent episode of the Daily Show, the spike and price of a barrel of oil was explained (see videos below the fold). The comedy news show's explanation includes $15 of the $104 for a barrel of oil going towards trying to convince the public that the oil companies are not raping the environment. Another $25 goes towards blackening the oil because oil actually comes out of the ground rainbow colored. Who knew? The Daily Show also took a shot at President Bush for his press conference where he said he was unaware of the predictions that gas prices could reach $4 a gallon and for his speech at the WIRC.

Doesn't everybody look to the Daily Show for wisdom, truth and insight?

It's a sad commentary that we have to rely on satire for wisdom. This is really not a laughing matter.

Hmmm... no. A very small segment of the population actually watches The Daily Show. It blows my mind when people make statements like "doesn't everybody..." Jeez.
I used to watch The Daily Show regularly, but now I have no TV, so I miss Jon Stewart and haven't been watching. I decided years ago it was not worth paying big money for cable just so I could watch Jon Stewart and the Discovery Channel.
