Net Neutrality on The Daily Show, with Jon Stewart

Yesterday Russell, Kathy, Kathy's mom, and I went to a taping of the Daily Show. After a two and a half hour wait in line we got into the air conditioned studio and got our seats. Jon Stewart's desk was much smaller than it looks on TV...maybe to match Stewart's smallness.

The guest was Dick Armey (watch the interview here)- some right wing Tea Party supporter and author who was a congressman as well as a lobbyist - great combo there. He was basically talking jibberish the whole time, like most Tea Partiers. He also was a hypocrite, and proved himself wrong with his own reasoning a bunch of times as well - again, like most Tea Partiers. I often shook my head - or laughed out loud - in disbelief.

Stewart also spoke about net neutrality - and the flip-flopping of Google on the topic. Hilarious commentary, yet what he said is both sad and true. This clip made it onto the Huffington Post. You can read the article here or watch the video here.
