Gonna really Miss Jon Stewart, 'Court Jester with a Knife'.

and 'The Daily Show', and I'm not the only one. As 'USA Today' says, today:

Stewart's major gift is his penchant for skewering hypocrisy in a way that is both hilarious and incisive. Like the late Meet the Press host Tim Russert, Stewart makes extraordinarily effective use of footage showing what they said then as opposed to what they are saying now.

Jon is at his best when he shows FOX clips, one after another, of completely hypocritical 'news' and comments by the 'talent' at FOX, and how their views change, diameterically, depending on who they are reporting on. WIth Bush vs Obama, or Repub vs Dem, or McConnell vs Reid, the clowns of Bullshit Mountain (Stewart's name for FOXNews)  look at the SAME statement/event/action, and put a totally different spin on it, depending on whether it's a Pub or Dem. The Daily Show would show this hypocrisy, time after time, and I'm gonna miss it. Hopefully, someone can carry on Jon's tradition of holding FOX up to the inspection and ridicule they deserve, once he's gone. Hint: It's not that difficult.
PS. The 'Daily Show' audience is the much sought after demographic, with an average age of 36, vs the average viewer age of 70, for FOXNews. Guess who's gonna 'be around' the longest?

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Not sure why,

BUT, am still wearing the necklace. Has been a tradition, for over 30 years, to wear the necklace, 'for awhile', until I lose the feeling, of the beach, in Mexico. Can't say why, but, still have it on. "Tis a sad day, when I take it off, and am not ready to go there, yet. Don't ask. 'Tis an old tradition...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
