Parting shots

I couldn't leave on sabbatical without a few parting shots. So, here's a picture of Claire doing push-ups on her Smart Pad blanket thing that I'm not allowed to walk on or even sniff. I'm also including some funny and/or insightful video clips for your enjoyment. I strongly encourage you to take the time to watch the two (2) Bill Moyers' interviews at the end. In both clips, Moyers interviews Jon Stewart. And, both clips will give you a tremendous amount of insight as to why I love Jon Stewart and his TV show on Comedy Central, as well as why I think he's the only person who can save America from the mainstream media and cable news channels.

In the meantime, here's a hilarious clip from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, courtesy of Cousin Ed. Ed is actually Grandma Helen's cousin, but since Ed lives in or near a bayou, I feel extremely close to him since I'm originally from New Orleans. Thanks for the clip, Cousin Ed!

Bill Moyers interviewing Jon Stewart in 2003 on Moyers' previous PBS show, NOW. This is another good interview... here's a little taste: [Jon Stewart comparing Fox News to some other news channel] "...news wants to be objective. Leaving Fox News out of it because that's sort of a different animal. And, by the way, a very entertaining animal. I enjoy watching Fox News, and I think every country should have their own Al-Jazeera."
