Jon on the Israeli elections:
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the election was it was the lowest election voter turnout ever -- a dismal... 63.2%. That's the lowest turnout they've ever had. You know what, we shouldn't be bringing democracy to the Middle East -- they should be bringing it to us.

IMMIGRANT THRONG
The Senate's preparing to debate a set of new immigration reforms, and the Republican Party seems to be tearing itself apart over the issue. The president has argued for a law that would allow immigrants to seek "guest worker" status, while Republicans in the house have pushed for a much tougher policy, passing a bill that includes a 700-mile fence along our border. Thus answering the question: how extreme do you have to get to be more conservative than George W. Bush?
This weekend 100,000 immigrant-rights advocates marched through downtown Los Angeles to protest this proposed federal immigration law. Taken together, it was the most walking ever done in Los Angeles.
RACE: THE AFROSPANICINDIOASIANIZATION OF AMERICA
On Wednesday, The Daily Show will air a half-hour special, "Race: The Afrospanicindioasianization of America." Correspondents Rob Corddry, John Hodgman and Demetri Martin will join host Jon Stewart in examining -- and completely solving -- such contemporary racial problems like bigotry and illegal immigration. It's one episode you'll want to watch in a melting pot.
