Jon Stewart is the Greatest Man Alive!

Hello everyone. 'Tis I again. I know I havn't posted anything since ... wow ... since February and on that note I do promise that I'm going to get back into the blogging business heavily, but right now I just wanted to share this little piece of literature with you. I didn't write it, actually I was taking a crap while reading this in Jon Stewart's latest book: America (The Book). This is the opening caption to Chapter 7: The Media: Democracy's Guardian Angel.

A free and independent press is essential to the health of a functioning democracy. It serves to inform the voting public on matters relevant to its well-being. Why they've stopped doing that is a mystery. I mean, 300 camera crews outside a courthouse to see what Kobe Bryant is wearing when the judge sets his hearing date, while false information used to send our country to war goes unchecked? What the fuck happened? These spineless cowards in the press have finally gone to far. They have violated a trust. "Was the president successful in convincing the country?" Who gives a shit? Why not tell us if what he said was true? And the excuses. My God, the excuses! "Hey, we just give the people what they want." "What can we do, this administration is secretive." "But the last season of Friends really is news." The unmitigated gall of these weak-willed ... You're supposed to be helping us, you indecent piles of shit! I ... fuck it. Just fuck it ...

Like I said, the man's a genious. Read this book because not only is it hilarious, it'll teach you a few things you should know.
