Quote of the Week

I normally don’t quote from The Daily Show because I assume that most of the people who read this blog watch the show. But Jon Stewart, in discussing the recent safety failures in airplanes, really nailed it last night:

It’s all sort of ironic, when you think about it. When you fly, you are inspected quite thoroughly. Whereas the plane itself is perhaps occasionally vacuumed. See, with this administration, if a passenger blows up a plane, it’s a failure on the War on Terror. But if a plane just blows up on its own, eh, that’s the market self-regulating.
