Jon Stewart to John Kerry after they did a "profile shot" on tonight’s Daily Show:

Kerry: That must have been quite a profile.
Stewart: Oh yeah, I’m all Jew. You’re only a quarter, but I’ve got the whole thing!

Lordy.

As the smear campaign against Kerry continues, as operatives for the Bush campaign continue to attack Kerry’s military record, let’s keep one thing in mind:

“I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes." George W. Bush on why he joined the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, 1990.

According to the U. S. News and World Report College Survey, Penn is now the fourth ranked school in America. Woo!

Now, there’s a larger discussion to have about whether or not we put too much weight on this survey every year, but since Penn is ranked fourth, I’m willing to run with it.

(And yes, we do put way too much weight on it.)
