Opinion: Ticket Replay: Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart got holiday shopping done early

Occasionally during the next couple of weeks, The Ticket is republishing some of our favorite items from the 4,000 we’ve written in the last 18 months. This one originally appeared on Dec. 4, 2008:

Gee, here’s a really great video below about an amazing blog item, which may look quite familiar to loyal Ticket readers, from one of television’s greatest cable channels and truly creative programs, ‘The Daily Show.’

It’s about Planned Parenthood of Indiana now offering special festive gift certificates good for its services. Nothing says the year-end holiday celebrations of life like a real professional abortion.

That Jon Stewart is a funny guy too, who can spot a good story when he sees one. And tell it with tongue in cheek excellently.

Obviously, he’s also got excellent blog-reading taste. Thanks, Jon! (Now, why won’t this video go in the middle where it’s supposed to?)

No doubt Jon gets cellphone alerts on each new Ticket item after registering here. Or maybe he gets the RSS feed by registering here.
