How many people heard a very loud guffaw around 11:10 Eastern time last night? That would have been me, upon hearing this wonderful exchange between Jon Stewart and Ed Helms:
John: You write your stories in advance and then put it in the past tense?
Ed: Yeah. We all do. That's ... all the reporters do that.
John: Why?
Ed: We write the narratives in advance, based on conventional wisdom and
then whatever happens, we make it fit that storyline.
John: Why?
Ed: We're lazy? Lazy thinkers?
John: But what happens if actual news happens?
Ed: Well, that's what bloggers are for.
