Hero Worship

Sometimes I just want to hug Jon Stewart when he says things like this:

"Thomas Jefferson once said: 'Of course the people don't want war. But the people can be brought to the bidding of their leader. All you have to do is tell them they're being attacked and denounce the pacifists for somehow a lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.' I think that was Jefferson. Oh wait. That was Hermann Goering. Shoot." [NYDN : HuffPo]

There are few people I would follow into hell. Stewart is one of them.
