Jon Stewart

If you missed The Daily Show last night, be sure to catch the rerun tonight at 7pm on Comedy Central. Jon Stewart patiently and politely takes apaprt Steven F. Hayes from the Weekly Standard (The Connection). He wouldn't give an inch on his point, which is - when you're going to develop a doctrine of preemptive war, shouldn't you be, you know, sure of what you're doing?

I almost didn't watch the segment because I expected Stewart to defer to the guest as I've seen him do with Karen Hughes and John Podhoretz. (Stewart even scolded the audience for laughing in appropriately during that interview.) But I missed the distinction among the guests. Hughues and Podhoretz were explaining their opinons of BushCo, the man. Hayes was defending the facts of BushCo's disasterous and murderous policies so the kidgloves were off. It was a beautiful thing.

While I'm on the Daily Show - the link above is a good one to keep handy to watch correspondent clips from old shows. Stewart's Yo' Democracy and Bush v. Bush are there as well as my favorite sfrom Stephen Colbert, Mean Dean , Object Objectivity, So You Want to be in Politics, and The New Iraq.

Compassionate Conservatism in Action

Zinn


  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

Bono


  • "True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ...

    God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us, if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure."

The Reverend Al Sharpton


  • Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
