This weekend I will be in DC to see the Rally to Restore Sanity...hosted by Jon Steward and Stephen Colbert. I really believe it is important that Americans hear what Stewart is trying to get across. This country is so caught up in name-calling and my side vs your side that we really need to calm down and focus on our problems and ourselves. Sure Stewart is looked at as being part of the liberal media but you can tell that he is more of a level-headed person than the beck's and the o'reilly's of this world. He is the only one that calls things like they are and doesn't oversell. There is a reason why he was named the most influential man in America...because he actually looks out for the interests of this country and tries to help...instead of scare.
These are my favorite Stewart moments.
The 9/11 speech...this was the best speech given by absolutely anyone after 9/11.

Jon Stewart's job is to entertain us...but he takes it a step further and entertains while he is actively trying to fix this country.
