The best graffiti I saw on the separation wall when I was in Palestine wasn’t one of those photographic portraits by the famous artist Bansky. It was this, at the checkpoint going from Bethlehem (Occupied Palestinian Territory) to West Jerusalem (Israel).
You survived to do this?

The A-list was circling now, wanting a taste of D's authentic flavor. When Madonna turned 39, she asked him to sing "Happy Birthday" at her party. One press report had her sitting on his lap and French-kissing him. In fact, two sources say that ultimately D rebuffed her advances at another gathering not long after. At that event, the sources say, Madonna walked over and told a woman sitting next to D, "I think you're in my seat." The woman got up. Madonna sat down and told him, "I'd like to know what you're thinking." To which D replied, "I'm thinking you're rude."

Everybody who has ever written for Jon Stewart will tell you that he hates his writers, and he’s abusive, and is anti-union. But nobody has the courage to take on Satan in Christ’s clothes. I’m joking about his being Satan but he is anti-union. And the head of the Writer’s Guild out here told me that during the strike, when Jon was working as a writer, doing shows, and being his own scab, the head of the Writer’s Guild told me in his whole history he had never been talked to as abusively as he was by Jon Stewart. But nobody’s going to go after Jon Stewart. Nobody’s going to tell the truth about what a bad guy Jon Stewart because for some reason he’s got angel’s wings. You know—he is funny, the show’s great, but he is not a supporter of unions.
—David Feldman says that John Stewart tried to prevent his writers from Unionizing, then punished them after they did. I’m very interested to hear from other Daily Show writers; if this is true then it’s a massive disappointment. (via jonathan-cunningham)
