Sunday Funday: The Daily Show on AZ’s Anti-Gay Bill

Sunday Funday: The Daily Show on AZ’s Anti-Gay Bill

Earlier this week SLACE discussed a bill, SB 1062, passed by the Arizona Legislation that, by the end of the week, was widely viewed as being anti-gay.  As of last Monday, when the SLACE post was published, the bill was awaiting enactment through the signature of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.  In the interim, a strange turn of events came to fruition.  The bill was lambasted as being discriminatory, and even some of the legislatures who voted for it repudiated their votes and urged the governor to veto the bill. Gov. Brewer did eventually veto the bill.  However, before tearing the bill out of the legislative history and tossing it to the trash bin of bad ideas, here is a clip from The Daily Show lampooning the failed bill and pointing out the hypocrisy that sounded it.

Sunday Funday: War on Christmas – Racism Edition

Sunday Funday could be exclusively devoted clips from The Daily Show with JonStewart.  Ordinarily, I would be hesitant to post Daily Show clips on back to back weeks.  However, this week’s clip is too good to miss. Fox New’s Megyn Kelly give “white Chrismas” a strange new meaning, claiming both Jesus and Santa Clause are clearly both white.

Here this how The Daily Show video is described on the Comedy Central website:

Gretchen Carlson issues a manger danger warning, and Megyn Kelly defends Santa Claus’s historically-based Caucasian bona fides.
