Last night, Jon Stewart and the Daily Show continued their campaign against CNN Crossfire and Chicago-Sun Times commentator Robert Novak in a segment called Douchebag of Liberty and bestowed the Congressional Medal of Douchebaggery on him. His outing of a CIA agent for partisan reasons, refusal to reveal his source for the outing, recent editorial on the Swift Boat Veteran ads and hypocritical call for CBS to reveal it’s sources for the recent Bush Texas National Guard memos have convinced me that it’s time to start paying tribute to the man, blogger-style. Who’s with me? Let’s all show our love for the Douchebag of Liberty.

Of course, someone has already registered douchebagofliberty.com, so make sure and link that to our favorite commentator’s name.

Targeted Web-Ad Amusement

I went and checked out a story on CNN today about an altercation between Texas Rangers players and Oakland A’s fans. Apparently, a Rangers reliever, Frank Francisco, threw a chair into the crowd and which broke a woman’s nose after ricocheting off of a male fan who I assume was the intended target. Deplorable behavior by the pitcher, but the amusing thing was the ads that were served up by Overture to go with the story. I’m not sure that everyone will get the same ads. If you don’t, here’s a sampling of the titles that I got: “Correction of Broken Noses”, “Broken Nose Accident Injury Law” and “Settle Your Own Broken Nose Injury Claim”. Gotta love technology.
