Once Again, Jon Stewart Speaks 100% TRUTH

I'm sure many of you are familiar with a study where people who generally get their news from The Daily Show tend to actually know what is going on.  I suspect that this is because Jon Stewart has no other agenda than reality.  Sure, he may appear "liberal" to many, but let's face it, compared to the rigid adherence to bronze age facts the mainstream conservative movement embraces, the 21st century must be a frightening place for them...  Hence, reality really does have a liberal bias.

So this bit of 100% truth just needs to be shared as often as possible:


If this video doesn't make you foaming at the mouth mad at the Kochsuckers in our government that call themselves the GOP, you aren't paying attention...The GOP specifically stated they would oppose everything a Constitutionally elected President proposed? Those fucking fuckwads have done more to betray the trust and goodwill of the United States than any Taliban asswipe hiding in a cave. The powers that be have been peddling this bullshit for too long, and people have been bamboozled by it for so long that they just eat the bullshit right up and never question why these assclowns haven't been given a one way ticket to Gitmo.

I have often wondered why there hasn't been more outrage at what these fuckwads have been doing. You can see the effects of their policies, and it's verifiable data. Yet people continue to vote against their common sense interests. As usual, Carl Sagan knows why: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

Jon Stewart is CRAZY!

That's right. Full out batshit crazy. You should have seen him. Gesticulating wildly, jumping up and down, drawing on chalkboards like some crazed abstract artist. Oh wait, he was doing a parody of slipery slope, strawman idiot. It was FRIKKING HILLARIOUS! My wife, daughter, and I were laughing our asses off this morning as we were all getting ready for our day. It's always good to start off the day with a laugh.

Although, I wonder... Have you ever noticed how the fundies and super right wign nut jobs have absolutely no sense of hmour. At all! Even the Three Stooges is to complex and neuanced for them to get! All too often I have seen them reply to jokes as if it was an actual statement of what someone believed. Or they just don't "get" that Colbert is a parody. And they really seem to be the unfunniest lot out there. How many great "conservative comedians" can you name? And woe unto any of the conservative comedians that try to get the audience to laugh at themselves.

Now don't get me wrong, there ARE conservative funny people. Even ones who are comedians that intend to be funny as opposed to blowhards that are just funny becuase they are so fucking insane. But the tea party nutters and the fundamentalist right in the general public? Wow, what a dour lot. I have had a steady philisophical shift that has me leaning further and further left on many issues that I was quite hardcore right on. In those intervening years, i have found that I am much happier as a result of just being around happier people. And this despite my annual income soaring up there over the years as well.

Just a braindropping for today.
