The Chicago Tribune has a blurb about the Daily Show viewership debacle today. And they have a little quiz meant to test the knowledge of late-night TV watchers. I suspect that I no longer qualify since I a) no longer have cable, and b) listen to the radio & read the newspapers.

They also have a debate drinking game. I thoroughly disagree with the "presidential debates are a nuisance" assertion. Anyone who thinks that shouldn't bother watching (or drinking, for that matter). But on the other hand, I do think that "chug[ging an] entire drink for variations on 'compassionate conservative'" makes sense. (And does Kerry point with his left hand a lot? I'd never noticed.)

The quiz was awfully easy. My results:

You got 6 out of 6 correct on your first attempt.

Excellent work! But when do you sleep?
