Jon Stewart has this helpful tip for revolutionary Islamist groups: "First rule of Evil: Try not to have your acronym remind people of '70s live action children's television shows." But who are these guys, anyway? If you listen to cable news, they're pure evil, like a cancer, the worst terrorists ever, and UNSTOPPABLE. But what can we do about them?

Wolf Blitzer asks if maybe a secret alliance with Bashar Al Assad might be a good idea, to which Stewart gives the only reasonable reply: "You know, it is shit like this that makes you almost regret us destabilizing the region in the first place." Funny how that worked out, huh?
