SNL is so biased, much like the Daily Show. Tina Fey has got to go.
Even though Stephen Colbert is a liberal, he makes fun of both parties equally. I like him.
Wow. I want to be a robot in my next life.
Have a great holiday!
Just a few more days and I can end my riggorous once-a-day posts.
But I stand by my unwriten pledge: one post a day for the month of December. Then, you know, a post every other day.
Strange... no one has said anything yet about the fact that the title says there are 101 great things, yet I've only mentioned 100.
The 101st great thing about being a robot is that nobody notices when you're inconsistent.
This is bootcat ,
and your 101 thingy is gr8 , shows your imagination , .. :D
By the way merry christmas
Don't you mean Fishmas?!

You can fly?
I want to fly and speak Swiss!
Oh too bad about the de ja vu...I like that!
Jon Stewart is a fair man? I live in the West...and I don't think so. Perhaps East Coasters respect his humor, but over here we find it one sided.
MERRY FISHMAS GYROBO!!
Nice list, Is there anything you do'nt like about being a robot?
I find that Jon Stewart is about the same ideologically as Colbert. Colbert only seems less biased because Stewart gets all the major political stuff.
But I guess that, as comedians, they'd make fun of any president or party. That's, like, their job.
And they really do a good job. They won emmies.
I've always wanted my beautiful chromatic face carved into one of our nation's greatest monuments!
As for things I hate about being a robot... uh, there's...
For one, there's that pesky self-destruct button.
I love Jon Stewart. I once stood next to him on a street corner in NYC while waiting for the light to change. He just about comes up to my waist! He's a tiny guy with a huge sense of humor. I love him.
ps I figured that my friendship was #101. Just thought it was so obvious that it didn't need to be mentioned!
