Ooh ooh! I just discovered a new conspiracy!

No, not really, but I just had a cool idea for one.

Probably the best political coverage comes from the Daily Show and other late night comedy shows. This is because a lot of their humor comes from poking holes in poorly made arguments made by politicians, pointing out inconsistencies in the things they say and support, and even exposing outright lies.

The writer’s strike has put an end to this critical and informative slant on American politics… could it be that was the plan? That secretly some organization fanned the flames of distrust between the writers and the media?

Now the first primaries will be untainted by satire and humorous insight.

Well, there probably isn’t a conspiracy, but it does make me wonder if the writer’s strike has indeed changed who is going to be our next president.

Imagine if there had been a writer’s strike when Dean made his infamous scream. Perhaps he would be president right now, or at least been the Democratic candidate.

Just something to think about.
