Check back for updates about Obamacain's historic visit and the equally historic battle for tickets.

Jeffrey Sachs Ruins the Daily Show

Jeffrey Sachs was on the Daily Show last night to promote his new book, Common Wealth, in what turns out to be the least entertaining Daily Show interview ever. It's repetitive and vague; Sachs says we all must work together to fix the world's problems, Stewart asks which problems we must solve, Sachs then names about 5 problems and says we must work together to fix them, etc. Stewart concludes the interview with an awkward, nonsensical joke about Poland and then it's all over. Like it never even happened.

Jon Stewart Love

At long last, the estimable Mark Tabry has helped us bring you last night's Daily Show, in which Jon Stewart calls protesters the "pencilneck caucus" and says we "make Sean Hannity look like the reasonable one." OK, you're a douche, but we love you anyway.

Also, find Karina Garcia's interview with Democracy Now's Amy Goodman (think Fox news of the left) and Jim Gilchrist, before he left. He cut out halfway through "based on legal advice."
