   	Great catch, although I did miss Keith Olbermann since, well,   
   there's this whole problem I have with watching the cable news channels.   
      
   	I don't think I'd describe much of Joike and Crew as doing   
   politial or social satire, though.  Making fun of the many absurd or   
   sometimes outrageous things people do, certainly, but that doesn't   
   reach the level of being ``satire'' as I would take it.
