If you guys get a chance, you NEED to see Jim Cramer on the Daily Show tonight. It was a thing of beauty. Absolutely amazing. Stewart skewered Cramer. Absolutely skewered Cramer and vicariously, the entire financial industry and the financial media. Bravo!

And I am a huge Stewart fan as well as a major Cramer critic.
