Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Jon Stewart Mocks Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory
Dennys Funny Quotes: Funny Jon Stewart Mocks Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory: "From Denny: The comedians have figured out how to help President Obama fix his relationship with Pakistan. The obvious cure? Admit that Osama Bin Laden really is not dead. Hey, that's a novel idea.
The best reason for saying Bin Laden is actually still alive is because it will help defense spending. 'Why risk bursting The Terror Bubble?' asks comedian John Hodgman. 'After all, it's our last bubble' and the economy might be in trouble if we take a baseball bat to it is the subtext.
Wondering how we could start such a Bin Laden rumor, Hodgman reminds us we are the country so capable we put a man on the moon. He says we are also the country that created rumors we did not put a man on the moon. Ain't America great?"

Jon Stewart Interviews Egypt Revolution Activist Gigi Ibrahim
From Denny: Stewart dishes out the political satire in a semi-serious interview aimed at exposing how for decades American policy has had little to do with the reality of every day Egyptians.
What is so funny about the experience of this young woman is how she became involved in the Egypt Revolution this past January in Tahrir Square. She went to a class, "The Social Mobilization Under Authoritarian Regime," at the American University in Cairo.
It was there she learned from a prominent Middle Eastern blogger about the opposition movement that had been ongoing in her own country. The opposition movement was so underground few people knew how to contact them. She learned their history and what was happening recently and how to join the protests.
