Jon Stewart's plans

Jon Stewart is brilliant, talented and full of energy. I have to believe he's going to do something substantial after leaving the Daily Show.

Any ideas on what he has up his sleeve?

Perhaps the creation of a new news cable network? Oprah started her own network, why not Jon?

Although I think Menendez is being railroaded, couldn't there possibly be a senate seat opening?

I mean this whole 'Comedian turned Senator' thing I think turned out really well for the folks in Minnesota. Al Franken is a hit up there and a damn good senator too. Think about having a Senator Jon Stewart.

And if if Menendez survives, he could do a Christine O'Donnell, setup a PO Box in Delaware and trying running here instead. I think Tom Carper is going to retire soon and it seems Delawarean Senate races are cheaper than New Jersey. But helps if you aren't an idiot or a republican.

Pelozzi's moving up in years, so 's Hoyer... we're going to need some strong presence to replace them . . .
