Yesterday we questioned just what the New York State Senate was doing addressing issues like horse racing, tightrope walking and the Miss Chinese New York pageant during their extended summer session, while leaving important issues like rent control and, oh, marriage equality for the very, very end. Jon Stewart wondered the same thing -- but with better jokes -- last night on The Daily Show. Sweet corn is now our official state vegetable, in case you were wondering what they've been doing up there.

"I suggest you look at the unedited version online, where my emotional states don't seem to change so arbitrarily," said Jon Stewart on The Daily Show last night, his first show since exclaiming, "You're insane!" at Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday. Stewart, of course, said more about the state of the media, on bias and sensationalism, with the "insane" quip coming out as his soundbitiest soundbite, and that's precisely why he wants everyone to watch the full chat, which can be seen here. But that's not all!More >>

Jon Stewart gently mocked his old friend Anthony Weiner as the penis scandal escalated last week, and even yesterday, with Weiner taking full responsibility for his porny internet time, Stewart's response was without the kinds of cutting jokes expected of The Daily Show when a powerful person screws up so royally. And so on Tuesday, Stewart apologized. He did so in a mock-press conference and with a spot-on Weiner impression, admitting that 59 jokes, nine penis puns, and more still didn't satisfy Stewart's responsibility on Weinergate. "I recognize now that it was not enough," he says. Here is his penance; there will be blood.

"I was hoping he would have a very clear and strong, reasonable-seeming explanation -- that hasn't necessarily happened so far," Jon Stewart said, with extra-torturous language, on The Daily Show last night, about his close friend (and college roommate!) Anthony Weiner, the New York congressman who "can't say with certitude" if his dick is all over the Internet. Friends or not, Stewart refuses to suck any... just watch. And as a bonus, after the jump, Stewart takes on Sarah Palin's pizza time.More >>

On last night's Daily Show, host Jon Stewart absolutely eviscerated the amendment proposed to the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Law, which says that before first responders receive medical benefits, they must first be screened by the F.B.I. to assure they're not terrorists. More >>

​The biggest problem in the House of Representatives at the moment is Chris Smith's "No Taxpayer for Abortion" Act, which seeks to limit women's choices in reproductive matters by doing things like banning federal funding for abortions in rape cases. Also an issue, though, was the bill's language, which sought to differentiate between "rape" and "forcible rape." Politico is reporting now that the word "forcible" will be removed after "a firestorm of criticism from women's groups, and...enough attention to become the subject of a satirical segment on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." But the bill still sucks! More about it, plus the Daily Show clip, after the jump.

​The Daily Show host, who used his program as a forum to push for health care for September 11th first responders, has been rewarded with a place on the board of the forthcoming 9/11 museum and memorial, the New York Times reports in Friday's paper. "We see him as helping raise awareness, and we see that helping fund-raising," said Joseph C. Daniels, the president and CEO of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, who also noted that Stewart lives close to the site, in TriBeCa, and has been "a passionate advocate of the 9/11 workers." Stewart said he was "humbled" after a meeting yesterday at Gracie Mansion, where Mayor Bloomberg noted that "Jon loves New York as much as I do." (But not more!) "I'm like their intern at this point," said Stewart. [NYT via Daily Intel]

In the race to politicize the killings in Arizona at the hands of Jared Loughner, amid blame and spin and false equivalencies, it's alarming what is made secondary, namely that people lost their lives, and some in the name of public service. It raises many questions that might not have answers. "How do you make sense of these types of senseless situations?" Jon Stewart asked last night on The Daily Show, in an episode where no one will recall any joke. "I don't know if there is a way to make sense of this senseless thing." He did not lecture and he skipped any smugness. He just spoke, and as winding and answer-less as it seemed, it was a comfort. More >>
