Jon Stewart at his phinest!

20 Aug

After all these years, The Daily Show still represents one of the most implausibly consistent half hours in tee-vee land. I've never managed to watch a single episode in which I did not at least once:

Get to laugh at a wingnut,
Get to laugh at myself,
Get angry about something,
Find some optimism,
and learn something I never knew before.

For the abject futility of trying to encapsulate concise clips, THF readers have probably noticed that I rarely post TDS vids on this site. But John Stewart's interview with sycophantic "historian", Stephen Hayes, about his biography of Dick Cheney is one clip that is just screaming to go viral.

I saw the old Cheney clip as well and I agree this one is screaming to go viral. ;)

Toilet waste is never intentionally dumped overboard from an aircraft. All waste is collected in tanks which are emptied on the ground by special toilet waste vehicles. A vacuum is used to allow the toilet to be flushed with less water and because plumbing cannot rely on gravity alone in an aircraft in motion. The infamous blue ice is caused by accidental leakages from the waste tank. Passenger trains, on the other hand, have historically flushed onto the tracks; however, modern trains usually have retention tanks on board the train.
