It is often said, and I completely agree, that John Stewart has the best job in the world. The Daily Show is the most entertaining news shows on television – with The Colbert Report coming in a close second. Sure, the show has great writers, but more importantly it has John Stewart who is one of the funniest men on the planet today.
What would John Stewart ask OJ Simpson if given the chance to interview him?
Al Capone, in case you didn’t know, was not sent to Alcatraz for all of his mob actions, he was busted for tax evasion. Here’s a quick trivia question…What did Al Capone state as his profession on his business cards? (scroll down for answer.)
Fun facts about Al Capone:
Capone’s best friend during his term of incarceration on Alcatraz was former public enemy number one Alvin Karpis.
During his later years, an increasingly delusional Capone claimed he was being haunted by the ghost of James Clark, one of the victims of the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
Capone’s number one henchman, Frank “the Enforcer” Nitti, got married two days after the bloody St. Valentine’s Day Massacre on February 16, 1929.
Capone was reportedly in a meeting with the Dade County district attorney in Miami when the bloody St. Valentine’s Day Massacre occurred.
Reportedly, the only mobster whom Capone feared was Hymie Weiss.

A couple years ago, I was surprised to see a group of Chinese tourists were scared of black people in the United States. Since I am a Chinese and I can communicate with them, I asked them why. It turned out most of their impressions of black (African American) people were came from large media corporations in America such as ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. These media reports are so slanted to black people (especially the reports aired in China’s network), that some people naturally developed a phobia. If media continue to emphasize Asians as bank robbers, criminals on the news (such as O.J. Simpon’s case), I am sure many people will be scared of Asian too.
