Iraqis Gone Wild or Why I love Jon Stewart

Hell to the Naw!

“Yesterday, the president met with a group he calls the coalition of the willing. Or, as the rest of the world calls them, Britain and Spain.”
Jon Stewart

So last night as I lay in bed listening to T.V. and reading a book. I saw a story on The Daily Show about how newly graduated Iraqi soldiers (Sunni) protested and refused to be stationed outside of their province in a Shiite region. This is a serious thing in relation to America trying to get out of Iraq. I mean if soldiers are deceiding where they want to serve that’s not really a military. If that was the case I’m sure our soldiers could think of a better place that they would like to serve. The thing about this is that the only place I heard about it was The Daily Show. I had to search for it on the net this morning. Once again the fake news has given me more news than…news-news. It’s really a sad state of affairs when I get more information from Comedy Central than anywhere else. I only started watching it cause it allowed me to be lazy. Instead of seeking the hidden meaning behind what I am seeing…Jon just points it out and combines it with his wonderful humor. Not to mention I like his George Bush impersonation. What the hell is going on?!?!? I vowed years ago to not watch local news cause I got tired of stories in this order: Death, killer, health risk, bad weather, puppy for adoption, deaths, police suspect and sports. I’m not getting as much from the national or news sources either. It’s a sad thing when BBC can give me more actual information about America than CNN. I demand that Jon Stewart be given his rightful place next to Jennings, Cronkite and Blitzer as a true dispenser of news. He also makes it funny so that’s a plus. Did news die and how are people still afraid to say the unpopular thing. Here’s a quote I’ve loved that America should take to heart.

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

I wonder if we the people still like Ike? I heard it once said that if Jesus came back today, he would be called a liberal, fag-loving, traitor to America and be denounced by most of the so called “religious” people in this country. It’s amazing that a country full of people that are so free and intelligent can be so scared and stupid.
