A wholly unproductive day

The Jon Stewart/Jim Cramer face-off on the Daily Show on Thursday got a lot of press, but I have to say I found it more uncomfortable than enlightening or entertaining.

I just watched an entire month of repeats in a single sitting and the best episode by far was February 26. Brian Williams of ABC News is deadpan and hilarious. Brian and Jon get off on a long and delightful tangent where for some reason Jon is trying to guess Brian's ATM PIN, and Brian inexplicably calls him "Sully."

This is all after a detailed report on a debate in congress about legislation to prevent monkeys from being sold over state lines which made me spit out my milk. All in all a good episode.
