Jon Stewart is so good at what he does that I’ll just let him speak for himself. He delivered 6 minutes of pure comedy last night on the Daily Show in his commentary about the USPS financial crisis. Here’s the video:

Jon Stewart’s Top One-liners:
- On the USPS shutting down altogether this winter if Congress doesn’t take fast action: “All it takes is major and fast congressional action? Let’s just shut that (bleep!) down now and get it over with.”
- On the Postmaster General Pat Donahoe: “That guy? That guy looks like he manages a Staples. Oh, I’m being told that he basically manages a poorly run Staples.”
- On Senator Claire McCaskill’s suggestion to reinvigorate first-class letter volume by initiating a marketing campaign the value of sending a written a letter to someone you love: “That is the most masterful Jedi-mother guilting I have ever heard. Claire McCaskill entered the fact that her children don’t write her enough into the Congressional record! Right now millions of Jewish mothers are giving her a standing ovation.”
- “Why don’t we just use stamps as adhesive tape? I just fixed this rip, and it only cost me five dollars (in stamps).”
