If You want Politics, Go Away.
I am the person who runs Anita's Daily Show Page, a small little web ditty about The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. Other than that, I stopped going to (ahem) Community College and now I work at a hoity toity grocery store called The Fresh Market. Most of the time I end up bagging rich people's groceries.

"There's a dog-and-pony show to everything," explained Big Show, a 500-pound, 7-foot-2, World Wrestling Entertainment performer from Tampa who said he had a hard time slipping between the metal detectors to get into the convention. "I think our whole world has become entertainment. You have to make things entertaining to give them an enlightening tone."
Big Show said he was particularly impressed with Bill Clinton's entrance onstage for the 2000 Democratic National Convention. The camera work, he said, looked borrowed from the wrestling world.
"It was the 'Raw' entrance -- the low camera shot," Big Show said.
One of the other wrestlers, Mick Foley, who broke in as Cactus Jack and once was The Rock's tag-team partner, says pro wrestlers, like everybody else, have issues. "Heath care is a huge issue," Foley said.
The wrestler said his biggest thrill has been meeting Ed Helms and Rob Corddry, two reporters from Comedy Central's The Daily Show, who are here spoofing the convention for the cable TV show.
For those of you keeping score at home: That's a fake wrestler being impressed by meeting two fake newsmen who have become stars of a show that parodies the news.
It all fits. The convention itself is kind of a parody of a news event.
Speaking of which, one of the Ohio delegates is talk-show host Jerry Springer, who walks the floor, leaving other delegates in his wake shouting, "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"
In other news, Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of the presumptive nominee, told a pissant newspaper editorial writer to "shove it!"
It is one of the few unscripted moments of the week, and something that I'm sure Big Show would applaud as entertainment that gives an enlightening tone.
Whatever that means.
The Indeicison 2004 site is geared up for the convention this week. See?

I still don't know if Daily Show is going to be doing shows in Boston next week, but I doubt it because of these factors:
From Emily:
Anita,
While browsing through my usual New York Times
Sunday, I happened upon this picture in the middle of
the front page in the Arts & Leisure section.
Ironically, even though Jon is shown in the picture
I have attatched, neither Jon Stewart nor The Daily
Show is even mentioned in the article "You Can't Do
That on Television!" (written by Scott Robson).
Oh well, at least the artist (Lara Tomlin) seemed to
have her priorities straight.
Clockwise from left: Marge Simpson, David Carson (?), Donald Trump, Tyra Banks and Jon Stewart proceed by nothing but their networks.

Four years ago, I opened the site. And boy did it look bad back then. (well, I mean my site still looks bad, but not as bad as it did four years ago) Three words : Geocities. Page. Builder. I don't anyone who looks at my site now looked at the site back then, but here's a brief summary of what the page was like back then:
I didn't set my VCR right, so I missed Carell on Kimmel last night, but this is what my friend had to say about it:
Steve Carell was on Kimmel last night. He and Nancy
just had another baby 5 weeks ago. A boy named John.
And he was sweating so badly he was absolutely
mortified.
Steve Carell is supposed to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tonight:
Mo 7/12: Tony Danza, Steve Carell
One of my blog friends was watching an old episode of Beavis And Butthead, and she saw this:
The Funniest People in America
Here are video clips from the time Jon and the gang was on Oprah.
As everybody knows by now, John Edwards was picked yesterday to be the VP candidate with John Kerry.
I found this article amusing since I hate marshmallows:
Woman's Marshmallow Ordeal Makes 'Daily Show'
Wyoming Woman Pulled Off Cruise Ship Over Yellowstone Food Infraction
POSTED: 2:33 pm MDT July 7, 2004
RIVERTON, Wyo -- A woman's arrest over an unpaid fine from not storing food properly at Yellowstone National Park has landed her on the Comedy Central television show.
Hope Clarke's appearance on the show is scheduled to air on Thursday night.
Clarke, of Riverton, was flown out to New York for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."
Clarke was arrested aboard a cruise ship in Florida recently as it returned from Mexico. U.S. Customs found an outstanding warrant for Clarke because she hadn't paid a $50 fine for leaving marshmallows and other food out overnight on a picnic table in Yellowstone back in July 2003. Food attracts bears.
Clarke thought she had paid off the fine.
She was held in jail for about 10 hours and went before a judge in leg irons.
"The story itself is so inherently absurd that that alone is enough for us," said Daily Show producer Stewart Miller.
Miller explained that the satirical news show became interested in Clarke's story because it fell under the "weird but true" category of comedy.
Clarke said she agreed to do the interview because the producers of the show were very kind and understanding, and because talking about the ordeal helps her get over it.
"It's easier to laugh at it now than it was," Clarke said.
I kinda assumed this was the reason why Colbert was hosting the show last night, and Mr. Nader let the cat out of the bag anyway, so here's the E! (the only article on google news about it) article about it:

I saw the newsbreak for tonight's show and Mr. Stephen Colbert will be filling in for Jon tonight.
