So I was watch Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" from June 8th through the wonders of bittorrent and people ripping stuff off their Tivo's, and they did a piece on the New Jersey democratic primary (which I forgot to vote in).

Anyway, at one point in the piece they go to the Dennis Kucinich NJ headquarters - and I realized that I was there just a few weeks ago. It's in Riverside, NJ, and every year the town of Riverside holds a town-wide yard sale. We'd passed by, and they had a table out urging us to vote in the primary for Kucinich. I talked to them for a little bit about John Edwards, who I really would have liked to see as the nominee, and they lobbied me (heavily) to vote for Kucinich so as to get more delegates at the convention and hopefully insert some more progressive planks into the party platform.

So it was just surprising to see the Daily Show's Samantha Bee walk down a sidewalk and up to a house and realize "Hey! I was there!" and "Hey I talked to that lady too, and she was just as incoherent in person as she was after their editing department sliced and diced her on-camera comments".
