The famously contrarian, pop culture-hating (unless it's hardocre 
punk) lefty zine gets postal on Comedy Central's 11 p.m. lineup:  "Our lazy 
embrace of Stewart and Colbert is a testament to our own impoverished comic 
standards. We have come to accept coy mockery as genuine subversion and 
snarky mimesis as originality. It would be more accurate to describe our 
golden age of political comedy as the peak output of a lucrative corporate 
plantation whose chief export is a cheap and powerful opiate for 
progressive angst and rage.":
