Good for you Dave...
Though it's early in the year, I think I've just watched the best 10 minutes of TV of 2006. Dave Letterman has always had his moments, but tonight he just was on a whole new level. Dave was interviewing Bill 'O Reilly of the O' Reilly Factor, on Fox News, which is anything but "Fair and Balanced" news journalism. Anyhow, Bill started off on an innocuous rant about being politically correct around "holiday" time, which Letterman seemed content with. Then Bill moved on to a subject that Dave obviously took offense to (something said by the mother of a dead U.S soldier in Iraq), because he quickly became highly adversarial. The audience must have been shocked because I certainly was. The next few minutes made for intense television. Dave actually told O Reilly "60% of the things you say is complete crap", then made a sarcastic crack about being "fair and balanced", and joked about how he hasn't seen O' Reilly's show. O Reilly did his best to defend himself, but whenever Dave made a negative remark the audience applauded loudly, and he must have felt as if it was a personal attack, which it was.
Anyway, amazing T.V. You had to be there.

Anyhow, as I was eating Cheetos today, I had a revelation:
These chips are fucking fantastic.
