    John Hodgman Takes on CEOs and the Mobs They Anger

    Nevermind that Obama's "pay Czar" will be slashing executive compensation at firms that received bailout money from the Feds. Daily Show "Resident Expert" John Hodgman wants CEO's blood—or at least their heads covered with bees.

    Hodgman, with his Yale-bred propriety and affected arrogance, is the perfect vehicle for a bit that deftly satirizes both the government's coddling of incompetent executives, and the out-sized populist anger it's sparked.

    Bonus points to Hogdman for giving a nod (I think) to the Nicholas Cage Wickerman Internet thing that took the meme-dom by storm a while ago. (Hodgman, he of the hyperactive twitter feed and Apple advertisment-based fame, can always be counted on to bring the nerd to "TDS".)
