Maybe you were watching Comedy Central on Christmas day, maybe you weren't because you aren't a loser. But if you are not a loser and you weren't watching Comedy Central on the weekend, then you missed Demetri Martin make a very profound point. It was about how we keep asking people in glass houses to refrain from throwing stones at others. Demetri Martin wanted people to quit throwing stones, period. Society's disapproval of stone throwing should be independent of the stone thrower's housing situation, was Demetri Martin's opinion. Unless, added Demetri Martin as a caveat, someone were to be trapped in a glass house. And this someone had a stone handy. In such a situation, Demetri Martin was prepared to concede that stone-throwing would be something to be encouraged. But not otherwise.

Demetri Martin had these words of wisdom and more. You should check your television schedule for when Demetri Martin is on next.

Demetri Martin rocks. Do you see his Trendspotting clips on The Daily Show?

Yeah, that is why I watched his special on Comedy Central. Apparently, he is also getting a Jon Stewart-produced tv series in 2008. That should be fun.

Sorry buddy. I was watching Lance Burton's magic show in Las Vegas on Christmas Day. His biggest trick was making money disappear from my bank account while annoying me.

Happy New Year!

anjali : Thank you, you too. What happened...cable not working?

robroy : Happy new year to you too. If it were possible for you to go to Las Vegas without having someone empty your bank account and annoy you, now that would be a great magic trick.
