Don't give up Jon

I've had a crush on Jon Stewart for years. But lately I don't follow the daily show quite as often, because:

1. I don't follow the news very closely, and feel that watching the clippings from the daily show will result in ill-informed judgements on my part.

2. Spending time watching Jon making fun of the stupid politicians and stupid news pundits is not the same as DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. (I keep planning to use this time sitting on my butt to do something worthwhile, but so far I just keep sitting on my butt, daydreaming...)

But still I am happy that Jon and his writers exist-- this segment is so well done and so true that it made me feel so sad. it makes me feel like maybe i will do something about it: like call my congresspeople and tell them they are f**king idiots.
