Jon Stewart Rules

Vicki and I have lately taken to watching The Daily Show (with Jon Stewart) and The Colbert Report (starring Stephen Colbert), and I'm really starting to appreciate how well-scripted (and well-hosted) both shows are. I have to say the former's humour works for me more often than Colbert's, but there are always at least a few laughs to be found within each.

On last night's episode of TDS, Stewart talked about President Obama's recent trip to Elkhart, Indiana, the self-proclaimed "RV Capital of the World." The geniuses involved with the show couldn't let something like that pass without being called out. As Stewart said:

"Wow! The RV capital of the world! You think your town's got troubles? Imagine your main industry combines the slowdown of auto manufacturing with the plunging values of the housing sector! Figure out how to put a bank in the trunk and maybe the whole town disappears!"
