The Jon Stewart/Brian Williams Controversy
Much has been made of Jon Stewart's interview with Brian Williams last night where the two normally congenial friends seemed to be actually getting on each others' nerves.

Bobby Jindal Still Using Katrina as Rationale for Smaller Government
It was so outrageous when he did it the first time, that I can't believe he's going back to it now.

Is his memory that short or is he just an asshole?
