M.C. Hampster's Journal: Wherefore art thou cyranoVR?

Ok, so I'm totally mixing up literature.

Anyway, I saw this rough transcript from the Daily Show, and I was wondering where your incomprehensible JE about Jon Stewart being "teh bomb" is?

This one [slashdot.org]?

We get something like that every week or so. I'm waiting for the next one.

Or perhaps he'll chime in here and then start having a conversation between himself and an imaginary conservative. That would truly be an honor in my journal. :-)

As Americans, they want him to succeed, because he's President.

On the other side of the political asle (sic), Republicans want Democrats to go away. Presidents and Senators and Representatives want to find consensus with all of their colleagues.

I made it into a JE subject line.

I guess this means that I'm finally a Slashdot Journal-Circle Personality (tm).

Yay?

Regarding Jon Stewart:
I'm confused...why would I shed tears over an interview in which Jon Stewart demonstrated once more that he's incredibly articulate, open-minded and even-handed (and witty too!)? I should note that at one point, Jon Stewart expressed a sentiment that exactly reflects my own:

Because at a certain point, I almost feel like, if they had just come out at the very beginni
