Behind the convention's 'Daily' grind with Jon Stewart
Note: Inside the Pepsi Center this week, the true rock stars are the correspondents of The Daily Show, besieged by politicos and press, posing for pictures and being filmed by fans as they film their fake news reports. "If ever you're going to get recognized and adulation, it's going to be at the Democratic National Convention," says Larry Wilmore, the "senior black correspondent" of the satirical news team.

new Nuttcups episode - Life's A Beach
Note: Summer's nearly over and the Nuttcups gang decide to take a trip to the beach. The dirty, disgusting Chicago beach. Herky buries himself in the sand to get a better look at bikinis and Bonecrushin' N*gga is trying to barbeque his soy patties but is interrupted by inconsiderate homosexuals and suburbanites. Funny stuff.

Political Theater-Obama Nominated by Acclamation by Clinton
Note: Well the drama of political theater unfolded that we haven’t seen in a while, as the roll call vote for Barack Obama’s Democratic Party nomination, went state after state honoring Clinton’s bid for the White House. Some states yielded unanimous votes by their delegation for Barack Obama... even though some of those states were won by Clinton, until they got to New Mexico where there were by everyone count, enough votes for the nomination to have the winning delegate count - but after much political fanfare New Mexico yielded to the state of Illinois where everyone thought that would be the appropriate end by casting the winning votes to break the delegate barrier for the nomination. But it was not to be.
