Jon Stewart should stand aside and let someone younger run the show

32. interesting how that conjures up an impression that I can't hear everything

...that I somehow need this two-bit comedian to tell me what's what.

That's your argument? That I'm in a bubble because I won't tolerate someone joking about serious concerns like an idiot?

Let's understand something here. Jon Stewart may well be advocating something or other that you think is important, so you and anyone else who think he's some sort of revelation need to keep watching him.

Keep watching him until he gets around to something you think is important or vital.

What he represents to me is a cynical, fantastical view of our two-party system which assumes that standing outside and throwing stones, refusing to commit to a party is some kind of virtue.

You may well disagree, but I don't see any value in people like Stewart who insist their empty hands are superior to our party's working ones.

I don't have a wit of interest in his jokes, and I think many of them are antithetical to what he claims to want.

Your mileage may vary.

I got all of that, btw, by listening to everything. The overwhelming majority of my posts here come with receipts that I get from paying attention and retaining what I learn, from every source available except the absurd and malicious.

I'm not a politician, a media source, a public official, faux-political television personality or part of any other entity that deserves to be held to this nebulous standard of yours.

I have interests and concerns that, despite what you may think of me, I don't wear on my sleeve --rather, I advocate for a broader progress than my own vital interests.

But, I don't deserve to be lambasted for not following some gadfly tv clown like a sycophant who doesn't have his own life or identity.

I'm not here for Jon Stewart, I'm here for my family, myself, and myriad other people and interests that share those. That's not a bubble, it's a broad and expansive life, according to MY OWN principles and expectations.

That's what I share here. Not from a bubble, but from the broad view of my own experienced life. A piffle, perhaps to you, projecting whatever you can conjure about me from a little box of words.

But like most people here, I'm much more than what I express here, and I'd expect grown people to understand and respect that.
