The Times, They Are a-Changed (about 8 months ago)

I used to be a religious watcher of both the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. It was my nightly tradition to tune into each one every single night at 8 o'clock. As I briefly touched upon in my post, "The truthiness will set you free!," I would get all of my news from Comedy Central. Sadly, I have not been watching them lately due to the fact that I have been remarkably busy and our floor's lounge is 24/7 home to studious students studying some studies of sorts. However, I still have found to check the NY Times each day, and to read our student-run paper "The Daily Sun" (not quite as good as The Daily Show, but not bad). And there has been one thing in the news (or should I say not in the news) I really have taken note of:

George W. Bush
Has not been in the news of
Late. I wonder why.


That's right, Bush is not president anymore (and so it has been for quite a long time, believe it or not). Since I have really not been seeing the news on TV, I don't receive as frequent reminders of who the president is (not that I forget, but it's just not beaten into me as much). Of course, the lack of reminders does not make me think Obama isn't doing a good job (Which he is). He's doing well, but our government would probably be much more efficient if Congress didn't exist. It's when I think about that (im)possibility that I remember Bush.

As hard as it is for me to admit, I actually miss Bush a little. He was a prime target for ridicule and Obama just isn't the same. Luckily, we still have such great targets as Joe Wilson and Kanye West (who admittedly is not a government figure, but is still great fun to make fun of).
