Congratulations Jon Stewart! Two Emmys last night - one for "Best music, variety, or comedy series," and one for "Best writing for a music, variety, or comedy series." Well deserved awards indeed for someone whose idea of political humor does not need to involve the weight of Bill Clinton's girlfriends in order to get a laugh. Under the cover of humor, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" does some of the best political analysis and critique being done today, on a par with Tom Tomorrow's This Modern World but for 30 minutes, four days a week. What is happening in the world today is serious - innocent people killed, others out of work, homeless, and on and on. In the face of that, a good laugh every day is practically a requirement for sanity. If you haven't watched the Daily Show before (it's on the Comedy Central channel, so you need to have cable), do yourself a favor - do so immediately. If it's on too late for you (it's on at 11 pm here), do what I do - make use of the "record" function of your VCR and watch it over breakfast. But watch it.
