One of Stewart’s promises in the video is that “I will be wearing a suit. I will more likely be showered.” He quickly amends, after not receiving just the reaction he’d hoped.It’s also worth mentioning that the tickets for the final show will be raffled off, fly in the winners and put them up. All profit from the fundraising is already agreed to go to Night of Too Many Stars, a non-profit organization.

I will be watching this final episode dressed all in black with tears in my eyes and half in the bag.

It's the least I can do in honor of the man whose comedic light guided us safely through the Bush years.

The race has shifted.

Here are the latest numbers from Nate Silver:

So currently, according to Nate Silver, the President has an 83% chance of victory while Romney has only 17% chance. Gotta love THOSE numbers.

Not only that but apparently the Obama campaign beat the Republican's three month winning streak by out fundraising them in August.

President Obama's campaign raised $114 million in August, edging Mitt Romney's haul of $111.6 million and ending the Republican's three month winning streak in the money race. 

"The key to fighting back against the special interests writing limitless checks to support Mitt Romney is growing our donor base, and we did that substantially in the month of August," said Jim Messina, Obama's campaign spokesman. 

The $114 million in August is a big spike for Obama, who had raised only $75 million in July.

Yep, it's starting off to be a pretty damn good Monday.
