More Daily Show Sarcasm
I recently realized that I had a severe backlog of Daily Show videos to get through, over a month. Well, I buckled down one weekend when I had to do other computer work, and watched a bunch at a time. There were a number of good ones, but only a few that really had the level of sarcasm that I was looking for. I have found that John Oliver is really the best for this sort of thing; I think it helps that he’s British.
First up, a visit to an RNC meeting in Hawaii to discuss fiscal responsibility.

That video is good, but I don’t necessarily think that its all that hypocritical to have a summit on fiscal responsibility in Hawaii. Maybe they got really good group rates.
However, this next clip is delicious.

Mom Visits, Feb/March 2010
Much like last year, my Mom visited me in February. However, things were better than last year. First of all, we weren’t both sick. Second of all, she was able to stay 2 weeks instead of just 1. And third, it didn’t rain all the whole time, just part of the time.
I wasn’t really in a position to take a lot of vacation time, so there weren’t any awesome road trips, but we did manage to see some things when the weather permitted. First off, we visited the Winchester Mystery House, a interesting little tourist trap in San Jose. Basically, the heir to the Winchester Rifle fortune used her husband’s legacy to build a rambling, chaotic house. No pictures allowed, though, of the inside, so no photographic evidence.
The weekend after that, it was a rainy day, so we went to do some museuming in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, where we visited the Conservatory of Flowers, the Science Museum, the Art Museum, and a Japanese Tea Garden. And the day after, we visited a state park to see some redwoods.
Whenever I look over these pictures, I usually find that I forgot to take many pictures of actual people. That is true in this set as well. It’s quite flower-filled, at my Mom’s request. But still, hope you enjoy.
