I think the best thing about watching The Daily Show and The Colbert Report is how often both hosts (Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, for those of you living under rocks) make it plainly evident that they're having a freaking blast doing what they do.

Wikiquote of the Day: "That so many writers have been prepared to accept a kind of martyrdom is the best tribute that flesh can pay to the living spirit of man as expressed in his literature. One cannot doubt that the martyrdom will continue to be gladly embraced. To some of us, the wresting of beauty out of language is the only thing in the world that matters." --Anthony Burgess
