i wasn't going to post anything about recent events in AZ, but then i saw Jon Stewart's recent remarks, which i found pretty well thought through, so worth re-posting here. give it a go and let me know your thoughts.

He had a few good points (distinguishing crazies from the media), but it was a bit of a waffle.
ReplyDeleteYou have a broken political system, corrupted media, and insane gun laws ('extremist' describes each of these nicely). Even without these crazy things would still happen but I do think they contribute very heavily in situations like this.
As a side note, I wish the media would stop referring to Senator Gifford's recovery as a "miracle" because it seriously devalues the work done by the team of doctors and medical staff involved in her recovery.
