It took me a few moments before I knew what was going on, because I hadn't heard this tuberculosis news yet. I've been busy, okay? Anyway, I Googled the news and, I must say, that is terrifying. Sigh... Now Greece hates us, too.

Clusterfuck to the White House: There was another Democratic debate and, this time, Wolf Blitzer decided to try some new things, including vague details about specificity and fun hand-raising activities.

Larry Flynt of Hustler is looking for some sweet dirt on Congress, and he's willing to shell out $1 million for it. Man, those pages must be really kicking themselves for not waiting for a smut mag to come 'round and offer some money for their pain. I was disappointed to see Jon do another prop-involved joke. Jon, please, lay off the props, if only for a week. You're so much better than this.

The night's guest was Republican candidate Ron Paul, aka yet another hapless soul to not realize that a Daily Show stop is a kiss of death to any campaign. I think Paul sold himself pretty well, but, at certain points, I thought he sounded a bit like a kindergarten teacher, especially when he was talking about how America needs to stop fighting and try to lead the world by just setting a good example. Anyway, he laughed at all the right times and smiled and nodded, so I guess he did all that a candidate should do to not humiliate himself on a faux-news show.

Jon/Stephen: That audience member's laugh was hysterical. I don't usually laugh at these exchanges, but I quite enjoyed this one. Moment of Zen: All the Democrats were hanging out with that Wolf Blitzer guy and Gravel was all like, "Yay English!" and everyone else was all like, "Uh..." and it was, like, crazy funny.
