Daley Lesson For Jon Stewart

 

31 October 2002

the difference between C-SPAN and Jon Stewart:
Jon's show seeks the lowest denominator
and C-SPAN seeks the higher

October 26ths peoples' protest you trivialized
how did you misunderstand
the complaints/protests were multiple
the day was united in facto you called it
"The antiwar in Iraq protest"
in facto it was the people united against going to war in Iraq
now why did you ignore
the real humor of the day
the tragedy of a demonstration called to support the call to war
the facto that no TV camera  moved to show us how few answered the call

so solly to see
another artistic type succumb to the Money God

- Humor God

to Moongate
