I don't love Jon Stewart because he calls out Fox. It is just a happy side effect.

And, being way crazy, I often find reality too much for me. The casual indifference to our nation's poor. The international bombings and wars we start, participate in and/or finance - and we then ignore. The all consuming hatred our Christian TV talking heads show, which seems diametrically opposed to the whole "Christian Love" ideal.
.
So then I wonder if reality is more nuts than I am, and a deadly spiral can begin.
.
Jon Stewart sees the same craziness, and makes fun of it. He laughs, he scolds, he snarks, he belittles. But most of all, he makes me feel not alone when I often feel that I am. I get why he wants to leave, it's hard having to deal with this 24/7. To do it on TV must be wearing on your soul.

But, for me, it will be harder when he is gone.
.
Stephen Colbert was too meta for me. His schtick was to embrace the crazy and run with it. I hesitate to embrace the crazy ('down that road, thar be lions).
.
And so, I will miss Jon Stewart. I will miss someone telling me that my world view makes sense. That I am not alone in my particular craziness.
.
Alas and alackaday.
