I am a huge Jon Steward Fan

I don't watch any traditional TV at all. My work days are so busy that it spans 12hours a day on many days. So the only cable show I get to watch regularly is Jon Stewart's online at The Daily Show. I am huge huge fan of him and I find it very thought provoking most of the time and entertaining at the same time. Why do I not get the feeling when I watch CNN or Fox?

Book of the Month: Dance with Chance

Behavioral economics is my favorite category in non-fiction. This easily takes the cake as one of the best books. It is highly engrossing, very informative and useful in helping with your day-to-day life. It covers topics such as investing, healthcare, risk analysis and decision making.

In summary, Excellent book and must read.

Book of the Month: SuperFreakonomics

Behavioral ecomonics is my favorite subject. That coupled with one of my favorite authors means world of fun. This book is as good as their first. Highly recommeded.
