Here is a clip by Jon Stewart of the Daily Show that is destined to be a classic. As a friend of mine said about this clip "It would be funny if it were not so true." The sad state of fearmongering and misleading from some of the media in America is also present in Alberta. You just have to scratch the surface a little and you will find it in more than a few places.
This piece of sketch comedy should cause Progressives in Alberta to laugh and reflect but not cry or dispair. We have to stand up and decrie such prejudice and bigotry. We have to speak out against the kind of screed that get passed off by some as a preferred but uncivil society that would put us back into an unjust and doctraire society.
I think I have said enough. Go to the link and let Jon Stewart speak for himself. He also speaks for many others of us who are progressives but have been too complacent and too indifferent and for far too long.

Glen Beck is the best entertainment... the YouTube I turn to most when I am in need of a laugh and cry at the same time.
