"But the funniest thing was, when I was leaving the bay I saw three ships a-sailin', and they were all headed my way I asked the captain what his name was, and how come he didn't drive a truck He said his name was Columbus, I just said 'Good luck'. " ---"Bob Dylan's 115th Dream"
I have always liked Stewart... love his show, and to be honest, he has a lot of good points. Whoever wrote that article though... I mean, damned... how do you expect to convice anyone you are right with a tone like that? Any headway Stewart would have made in convincing me of certain things was totally negated by the accusations and gloating of the author of that piece. He is right about Fox News... it is not "fair and balanced," but I still prefer it to things like CNN, which stopped being hard news ages ago...
"Pool Boy"Detroit Lions! 3-5! I am proud to declare my team "Not the worst team in the NFL, not by a longshot!"
I just skipped the commentary to actually read what Jon Stewart said. I felt that was more important.

And it was.
With poison running through your veins, and death marching solemnly towards you, heroic acts become more of a necessity as you see your time dwindling.
Vanquishing your enemies, making amends to those you have wronged, and leaving words of love and kindness for those around you become second nature as your own mortality looms
However, true strength lies not in these last desperate acts, but in the actions of one who has to get out of bed the next day and face the consequences of doing that which you believe is right.
"HHH, you should probably do the job here to put RVD over for the good of the company." "Vince, I'm just a caveman! I was out hunting when I fell in some ice and was unfrozen by your scientists. Your future world frightens and confuses me. You say these words like "job" and "put over" and "good of the company" but my primative mind can't grasp these concepts!"---Vince Mcmahon/Unfrozen Caveman Wrestler, Dr. Unlikely 17.9.02
God bless people like Stewart, he made some good points there and was intelligent and funny.... see, if only other celebrities and the like could be the same. Stewart rocks.
Thanks...That was my question. The flag is ordered by the government then to fly at half mast depending upon the situation? Makes sense on the 6 day time frame. I'm a new citizen...just never was sure of the rules/etiquette. lazzz
