    God, we need a Jon Stewart here.

      No we don’t!

      Yes, he is humourous, but essentially he simply reiterates the status quo by being decidedly orthodox. And that is not something we need.

    How weird that the best newsman in the US is a comedian.

    Well, it wouldn’t be so weird if the best senator of the new intake wasn’t also a comedian, who’s already proved himself more competent than most of the people there.

    What does it say about our society when the only people capable of being truly serious are comedians, and the people claiming to be truly serious are a joke?
