More from "The Daily Show."
STEWART: Here's the reality: the top one percent (of earners) take in nearly 25 percent of income today.
O'REILLY: And pay how much of the tax? THIRTY PERCENT OF IT.
STEWART (continuing): But 25 years ago, it was TWELVE percent. Top one percent control 40 percent of the wealth: just five years ago, it was 33 percent. Top one percent have had incomes rise 18 percent over the last decade!
O'REILLY (childish): We should just shoot them.
STEWART: I'm not saying we should shoot them. But we shouldn't act like returning to the tax rate of the 90's is class warfare on par with Lenin and Marx.

One of my favorite tracks from our new record, Major/Minor, performed acoustically at Hurley Studios today.
(I was in the cheering section in the control room, and present for the Facebook takeover/chat during this session.)
This song is so beautiful.

At this point, anyone who follows me knows I work in a comic shop. Or, at the very least, you know that I’m a comic fanatic. I feel like sharing this anecdote that happened today, which took a very crappy day and made it one of the best days I’ve had in weeks. And it involves a customer, his son, and Miles Morales, the new mixed-race Spider-man.
It’s Thursday. We sold out of...

flashover
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. the moment a conversation becomes real and alive, which occurs when a spark of trust crosses the room and jolts the delicate circuits you keep insulated under layers of irony, momentarily grounding the static emotional charge you’ve built up through decades of friction with the world.
