As a fan of both The Daily Show and Schoolhouse Rock, this TDS piece on the travails of the Dodd-Frank Bill (Financial Reform bill that barely passed Congress, and which has been savaged since by the GOP and only lightly defended by the Democrats) is outrageously good. I laughed. A lot.

Someone deserves an extra shot of bourbon in their bonus for this one.

Whoever wrote the songs for that bit did an exceptional job of making them sound like actual Schoolhouse Rock episodes. (I thought of you when I watched that show, knowing how much you still enjoy those.)
That was what made it so hysterical. I mean, the general humor was the bittersweetness that marks The Daily Show, but the picking and choosing from actual SR tunes to imitate was sheer genius in execution.
