Have you heard of Jose Gonzalez?

Here are the lyrics:
DOWN THE LINE
I see problems down the line
I know that I’m right.
There was a dirt upon your hands
doing the same mistake twice
making the same mistake twice

Come on over and be so caught up
its not about compromising.

I see problems down the line
I know that I’m right
I see darkness down the line
I know its hard to fight.
There was a dirt upon your hands
doing the same mistake twice
making the same mistake twice.

Come on over
be so caught up its all about compromise.

I see problems down the line
I know that I’m right.

Don’t let the darkness eat you up (8x)

And now, your moment of Zen.

CHENEY INDICTED

U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney was indicted (prononcer /indaitid/ = mis en examen)
At the beginning, Jon refers to Vice-President Dick Cheney's troubles with a friend of his while they were hunting quails. (des cailles...) He, Dick the VP shot his friend in the face... (petits plombs: small shot). The funniest part of that story was that the friend had apologized for being shot at and at the time, Jon Stewart had made us Laugh Out Loud (lol).

PRANK = trick = practical joke

From CBS NEWS:
"Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin was prank called [...] by a comedy duo from Quebec, who convinced the Alaska governor that she was speaking to French President Nicolas Sarkozy."

She was prank-called= they played a prank on her on the phone.
They told her she was going to speak to N. S. and she believed it.
If you listen to the recording, you'll find the prankster told her many things that could have helped her understand this was a prank... but she just giggled each time the prankster said something ludicrous.


READ ALL ABOUT IT AND LISTEN TO IT!!
