Everytime The Daily Show goes on hiatus, something bad or newsworthy happens. Case in point, late August 2005, they go on vacation, Hurricance Katrina. A few months before Katrina, the London bombings. Now during the Christmas break, Gerald Ford dies, James Brown dies, and Sadaam is executed. Coincidence? I think not.
Jon and co, first report on the Sadaam's death with senior correspondent John Oliver reporting from Iraq. He also got the entire execution on his new telephone he got for Christmas. In the next segment, Jason Jones reported on school violence. Apparently, a Wisconsin congressman has introduced a solution: the teachers should be armed in the classroom. Don't worry, the firearms will be safely kept in the teacher's lounge. Meanwhile, a Omaha (I think, I'll edit this part later) superindentent nominee disagrees with the congressman and came up with an even better solution: the kids' textbooks will double as shields! He tests his theory on Jones with a paintball gun, but the guy has more fun shooting Jones in the nuts.
Tonight's guest was comedian Louis C.K. who has a bad time during the holidays because he had to spend it with family.
At the end of the show, Jon does his check-in with Stephen-who is sporting his 2007 party glasses, and the Moment of Zen was the realization that CNN has truly lost it.
