War on Terror[ble deseases]

Since there has been such lengthy conversation about the stem-cell cartoon I had posted earlier, I think this followup is due. If you missed yesterday's Daily Show, Jon Stewart was at his best.

I wish Jon Stewart would run for office. Stewart/Colbert '08 would be a hell of a ticket.

The talking Embryos sounds like an indie rock band - or a talking heads coverband.

In the past year I've noticed Stewart has become more...opinionated. His views and biases always been obvious, but I've noticed that since the election of 2004 he's been more willing in his diatribes and interviews to side himself with his left-leaning audience.

That said, I caught this last night and I really enjoyed it.

[mishdogg.livejournal.com]

Stewart has said in interviews that it's not about party lines anymore; the left vs right is becoming a dead debate to the American public; the real struggle today is between Moderates and Extremists--regardless of which side of the political spectrum they come from.

I hear you about the new, more opinionated Stewart. But I'd argue that considering how he makes fun of stupidity regardless of party lines, he mostly appears to be leaning to the left because the decision makers in Washington (who he makes fun of) lately have been predominately republican. The democratic party is the confused, quarrelsome, and virtually powerless entity right now.

I really enjoy Stewart's appearances on other people's shows. He's always candid and focused, and I really think that he speaks for the moderate majority today. Did you see his interview on Larry King Live last year? Bloody fantastic.

[somefantastic10.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's a fair response. I agree that he's against any and all stupidity in the congress, and that at the moment congress is full of a bunch of stupid republicans, notably the extreme ones. I do think that he's still fairly leftward, but its not like I mind.

And yeah, I've caught Stewart on Larry King, and I think he did a show on Letterman too. Of course, there's the always infamous Crossfire performance. I just really like how him (and now Colbert too) have been able to jump from late night cable to national influence, using comedy and satire to awake the country to problems with politics.

may i remind you that congress which has a republican majority. Passed the bill. But bush vetoed it. The problem lies more with the president on this issue than the congress.

Fresh Baby Smoothies

where can I get some, yum...

I remember when Stewart cried on his show after the 9/11 attacks. Since then, he's not done anything I've been proud of him for.

[studmuff.livejournal.com]

And therein lies a major problem with the left today: they want to get their news from a mockery of a news show. They actually want John Stewart and/or Colbert to run for office. Quite odd.

[studmuff.livejournal.com]

right right, better than the VRWC-membered FNC. saving you the trouble of saying it.

As opposed to having B list actors run one of the largest states in the nation or even worse, the Nation?

[mishdogg.livejournal.com]

Ah, the villiage idiot found the "reply to this" button.

You assume I represent the left? The Libertarian party holds views closest to mine, but that's of no consequence. Sit down, adjust your helmet and try to understand this: the problem with this country today doesn't lie in the left or the right, it is in the extremists--regardless to weather they are liberal or conservative.

So open your eyes to all sides of the issues at hand, question even your own party, and do your part in becoming the answer. There is still hope for you to become a moderate.

[lachrymite.livejournal.com]

I just have to note the irony of someone that idenitifies himself as closest to the Libertarian Party as being against extremists. :)

I used to consider myself most closely aligned with them (and still do, to some degree), but I have a lot of trouble voicing any sort of support for them anymore after some of the ridiculous things the party has said, done, and endorsed the past few years.

[mishdogg.livejournal.com]

I know, right?? The way party rhetoric has changed over the years, I can't really claim anyone anymore.

I want separation of Church and State,
I don't LIKE abortion, but I believe it's a woman's right to choose,
I'm against gun "control" and for gun SAFETY training,
I support the troops, am against the war, and I believe that those two are NOT mutually exclusive,
I want a plan for amnesty for immigrants,
HARSH punishments for sexual preditors,
Anti capitol-punishment,
Basically, I just want everyone to be able to do their own thing, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

[desidono.livejournal.com]

I'd vote for you.

So, what's the acceptable news sources then? I'm sure y'all have a list.

i've always wanted to make a t-shirt that says

"Anyone smart enough to be management would be too smart to ever take the job"

cause they know all management jobs are bullshit.

ergo colbert/stewart 08 would never fly

but it is an amusing thought though, especially them being so politically different...
