Jon Stewart's Daily Show continues to have an impact well beyond the world of comedy and provides some of the best political insights anywhere. Stewart single-handedly brought down Crossfire. And his sidekick Stephen Colbert, who now has his own show, became the center of a political brushfire after his scathing performance at the recent White House correspondents' dinner. Stewart generally has a light touch, but he doesn't pull any punches. For example, in America (The Book) Stewart writes: "A free and independent press is essential to the health of a functioning democracy. It serves to inform the voting public on matters relevant to its well-being. Why they've stopped doing that is a mystery." Like Stewart, the Onion's weekly news parodies remorselessly poke fun at pop culture, political figures, and the media. Scott Adams revolutionized office humor with his popular Dilbert comic strip ("If you have to ask why our stock keeps plummeting, you can't afford us"). The drawings are utilitarian, but the jokes are sharp and on target. The Dilbert site also links to Unfit, a funny new comic strip about the misadventures of a personal trainer. Fark is one of the most popular blogs on the internet, offering a round-up of weird but (usually) true news stories from across the web. And if you prefer webcomics, there are some great ones here.
