Anyone else see Jon Stewart “shake his fist” at Twitter last night? It’s a painfully funny look at how the media’s scrambling to get in front of more, younger eyeballs. Stewart and “Daily Show” correspondent Sam Bee manage to put a bit of self-deprecating perspective on all of the by-the-second hysteria. Oh, hey, while we’re on the subject, make sure you’re following CL on Twitter!
>> CHANGE: The new administration lifts the ban on photographing military coffins’ arrivals, letting the families of the fallen decide if they want them photographed.
>> SURPRISE!: The recession didn’t go away overnight. The economy just keeps shrinking and rapidly so.
>> Clint Eastwood says down with political correctness. The whole easily-offended schtick is putting comedians out of a job.
>> PENDING EGG SHORTAGE?: Nope, just a continued intelligence shortage affecting mostly the political populace. If comedians weren’t so busy being politically correct, they could’ve thought of a much better joke involving the first black president and watermelons.
>> Lesson learned by Facebook: Don’t piss off social network users. They know how to wield an online mob like nobody’s business.
>> Obama administration puts its Robin Hood plans in action with new tax cuts and increases.
>>STOP THE PRESS: Colorado’s oldest daily newspaper says goodbye in the classiest, and most stirring, of ways.
