Jon Stewart whoops ass.
Im guessing not many people are, but if you have been following the US economy lately than you know that we are in the shitter. While the details are complex and confusing, most people are pretty sure that our current state of money fail is mostly the result of investors and people in the know shirking the system, lieing, and just generally being greedy pricks while the rest of the country pays for them.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is an American show that is set up mock a real news broadcast, but over the years has become more serious and has grown into a respectable news source, its one of the few mostly unbiased shows, and you are more likely to an accurate story because of this, which is something missing from the U.S. media.

Anyways, There is another show called Mad Money with Jim Cramer, that is set up to give people advice on what stocks to buy. A few months back he basically got on TV and told everyone to buy stock in Bear Sterns...like a week later Bear Sterns collapsed and a whole lot of people lost a whole lot of money. Jon Stewart then began calling him out on T.V. and a hearty little drama built up. Jim Cramer was recently on The Daily Show, and the results were amazing.

tl;dr I know, don't feel bad, just watch the video and let us know your opinion. Personally this makes me smile when I watch it, even though everything sucks that they are talking about, its good to see someone exposed who may have played a role in our economic meltdown.
