This is my first diary, though I've been a daily reader for over a year now.
I figure few people will read this, so I hope those who do will forgive me for merely directing your attention to a new source of humorous commentary on the day's news. If you like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, and can handle the occasional un-bleeped curse word, then I highly recommend you check out Ze Frank's 'The Show'.
It's a 3-minute daily video featuring Ze's trademark goofy humor and comments on the news of the day. It's like an ultra-compressed dose of The Daily Show, but with the absurdism turned way up and the production values turned way (way) down. If you like goofy, yet witty and smart, humor, I think you'll love The Show. (Plays with the Quicktime plugin.)
Note: I'm not affiliated with The Show in any way -- just a fan.
