The New Jon Stewart


He's recycling a lot of his schtick from The Daily Show, and it doesn't come off as well.

He might be having a hard time figuring out how to get back into it - to provide some good comic relief without seeming to make light of some very heavy shit.

The Problem, With Jon Stewart


393 million guns
332 million Americans
There's something wrong here, America.

It seems like a very good idea to make it a lot harder for certain people to get guns.
  • Sex offenders
  • People with a history of violence, particularly Domestic Violence
  • People on the Terrorist Watch List
And Stewart hits pretty close to what I've advocated.


 There's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.
