Bless Jon Stewart

In our household "The Daily Show" is hands-down required viewing. It allows us to go to sleep with at least a semblance of sanity after a day full of interacting with the endless stream of flag-waving, pro-war, pro-Bush populace at work and in our town. Jon Stewart is "the medically prescribed antidote to CNN and Fox" as described by Susan J. Douglas in this enjoyable article in The Nation. Also, Frank Rich gives a dead-on review in the NY Times (you'll need to do a one-time registration, but it's worth it).
