Kind of off topic...but I guess this is the general politics thread.
When did the daily show turn from light hearted humor (how I remember it) to Jon ranting angrily and making sloppily bad political points?
Some time after the election?

TDS has always been political under Stewart. Hey, comedy is hard; that show has its good nights and its not-so-good nights. That's the nature of the beast. Even The Onion isn't funny every single outing, and they've got a lot less content to fill than TDS.
Look at the attempts to copy TDS. They are not pretty. Comedy is hard.
Hav I Got News For You is a good contender though

Jon Stewart is always funny. If you truely think both sides are completely rediculous you find TDS is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Otherwise, you are not gonna like it because he does point how the stupidity of both sides which turns people away.

Naturally, I blame the Republicans.
In healthcare, indeed in much else in Obama's first year, a cooperative tone was chosen by the Democratic party. This ended in public opinion verging on the point of deciding Obama incapable of actually delivering on anything. So this time, or perhaps from now on, a more agressive approach is chosen from the start. I wonder how it will play out.

Blocked an effort...to start debate??
If Reid had any cajones (or brains), he would make the Republicans hold the floor for the filibuster. Watch them make fools of themselves rambling aimlessly and sticking their collective feet in their mouths (5 months before the midterm elections). But he doesn't, so he won't.![]()

Unless I'm massively mistaken, that's what a filibuster is. As soon as debate is allowed, a simple majority can pass the bill. But by preventing debate or discussion, the filibuster somehow makes the threshold 60 votes before anybody can discuss the thing.
