Rush Limbaugh: Liberalism 'Nothing More Than Comedy Today'
A newly released Reuters online poll places left-wing court jesters Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert atop "the peak of American punditry."

WashPost: 'How Many Votes' Has Higher Black Mortality Cost Dems?
Well, this takes the well-founded belief that the left only cares about blacks because of their votes to a new level.
