Jon Stewart:GE's $14.2 billion profit and no federal income taxes and Steve Martin way ahead of his time
March 28, 2011
Jon Stewart on General Electric (GE) making $14.2 billion profit for 2010 and paid no federal income tax. Jon also criticized Obama for saying he would stop corporations from profiting from outsourced labor when they pay no domestic taxes, but instead making GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt a chairman on his new economic council.
Ironically, Jeff "the jobs butcher" Immelt cut 1/5 of their American workforce during the prior 9 years.
January 21, 2011 (CNN)
President Obama announced the creation of an economic advisory council Friday that will be headed by Jeffrey Immelt, the chief executive and chairman of General Electric.The President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness will replace the Economic Recovery Advisory Board that was headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.
Volcker's board helped pull the economy "back from the brink," Obama said. Immelt's panel will be charged with "putting the economy into overdrive."
"Jeff's somebody who brings a wealth of experience to the table," Obama said. "We think GE has something to teach businesses all across America."
Steve Martin January January 21, 1978 (ahead of his time)

You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You say.. "Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?" First.. get a million dollars.
Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?" Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: "I forgot!"
How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"? Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal." Let's suppose he says back to you, "You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, 'I forgot'?"
Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!"

The U.S. military fires Tomahawk missiles against Libyan defense targets on the anniversary of the Iraq war.
"You know wars aren't kids... Where you don't have to pay attention to the youngest one because the older two will take care of it."
How can we afford to bomb another country? Haven't we been hearing for weeks that Wisconsin teachers will lose their jobs because there isn't enough money?

Jon Stewart...President "CEO" Obama, the only CEO held accountable by CNBC
President "CEO" Obama, the only CEO
ever held accountable by CNBC
Recap via Huffington Post
Last night on "The Daily Show" Jon Stewart focused on President Obama's town hall meeting on CNBC, where questions centered around Wall St. and the economy. Among those asking the questions was a woman who Stewart identified as "Obama's Kryptonite."After fielding questions from a jilted Wall St. executive and a young lawyer who can't afford to pay his student loans, Obama was hit hardest by a middle-class, African-American woman who frankly said, "I'm exhausted of defending you."
It turns out, the woman behind this reasonable critique is not just a middle-class wife and mother, but also a chief financial officer of a veteran's organization, a powerful combination that Stewart considers an "Obama zapping machine."
"A black, lady, financial analyst veteran?" Stewart said in disbelief. "We have found Obama's Kryptonite."
Then, in true 'Daily Show' fashion, Stewart used footage of Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign to show what Americans such as the fed-up woman at the rally were promised, and followed up with clips from the last two years where he defers or denies the ability to follow through with those same promises.

Jon Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity versus Stephen Colbert March To Keep Fear Alive
Rally to Restore Sanity
versus
March To Keep Fear Alive
Thanks to Huffington Post for the head's up.
Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert will march together on Washington. Or against each other in Washington.
Either way, expect plenty of Comedy Central fans to show up on October 30 when Stewart's "Rally To Restore Sanity" will meet Colbert's "March To Keep Fear Alive" in the nation's capital.
The duo have been hinting at a major announcement for several episodes in a mock response to Glenn Beck's own "Restoring Honor" rally that was held this year on the anniversary of a famous Martin Luther King speech at the same monument. There's no indication that the announced get-together is a joke, though. Both comedians are telling their audiences to book hotel rooms now (though for different reasons, as you'll see).
"It'll be like being in a chat room," Stewart explained. "But real."
Stewart punctuated his announcement on the earlier program with a homemade-looking banner reading, "Take It Down A Notch For America."
Colbert followed up with an announcement on his own show, and insisted that he would "notch it up a scotch."
Each man ventured into the other's studios for moments you'll just have to see for yourself ...
