A Stranger meme gets co-opted by the Daily Show -- do you get royalties for that, Dan? Does Marlee?

That was thoroughly satisfying. Jon can ruffle my feathers anytime he wants.

I remember some UK study that suggested of all the cable news shows and the big three (ABC, CBS, NBC), The Daily Show had the highest information density by time. I guess humor is less fluffy than, well, news fluff.

Actually the Goat Fucker screed was used David Horsey of Horsesass.org most recently around these parts.

I admit that after watching this last night I tried to look up the etymology of the goatfucker term. So who first started using it?

Does Marlee Ginter work for CNN now?

@stinkbug: I believe Cain first used the term "goatfucker" to refer to Abel. Probably not in English, though...

Goatfuckers are everywhere! Where is the religious right when we need them? Oh...thats right...They are too busy equating being in a gay relationship to goatfucking to go after the actual goatfuckers...
