40cakesFact: Chuck Norris flew around the world at the speed of light, spinning it backwards in time enough that he met with America's Founding Fathers in 1790 to learn who they'd support for President in 2008. Well okay, no he didn't. But he likes to guess.
Fox News has been developing a "right-wing answer" to The Daily Show. It seems they've created "Red Eye", a clip of which was leaked online. You can see it here. What they don't seem to understand is that The Daily Show was created as a satire on the news, and they're good enough and funny enough to have garnered an audience (In Rolling Stone, Jon said a news correspondent once asked him how they found all those clips "where Bush contradicts himself"; Jon's answer was, I believe, "an intern and a tape deck"). Red Eye is four right-wing douchebags sitting around a table cracking each other up with stupid shit, which in no way separates it from, say, ANY OTHER FOX NEWS PROGRAM. Also, what's with the hand-held camera? Seriously.
