3. Thanks Greeby for the Daily Show link!

The Daily Show and the Colbert Report are my favorites (following Keith Olbermann!), and (to use a Jon Stewart phrase), *quite frankly*, I am not a member of the non-voting 18-25 demographic (or whatever it was -- young, anyway) that I heard about over and over last night on the Scarborough report as The Daily Show's fan base. Jon Stewart appeals to these non-voting, young types, Scarborough pointed out, so what are they teaching these young people, cynicism toward politics? To keep on not voting? Tsk tsk tsk.

Zuckerman, as one of Scarborough's guests, had some wonderful comebacks about this, very apt, very funny, but I was sitting there, arthritic legs propped up (flare-up weather, these end-of-summer days) my two canes leaning against the bookcase beside me, and wondering, "What the !@#% am I at 76, invisible? How do I fit in this demographic? More importantly, how the SamHill can I get myself counted as part of Jon Stewart's fan base?"

I suppose I should be used to this -- I shouldn't be going to the Internet for my news, either, according to the experts. I shouldn't be reading the blogs. Certainly, I shouldn't have a web site of my own, nor reading, much less reviewing, political books.

I guess I should be knitting. Well, I do that, too, but then so do a lot of the women in the 18-25 demographic.

Don't you just love being categorized?
