Jesus laughed ’till he cried: Why comedy is the conscience of new

American politics and economics are so horrible today, we can only bear to face this reality if we can laugh. Otherwise, we would be screaming all the time.

Comedy enables us to break through the spin to find the funny, and, curiously, to find the truth in all its tragedy and pathos.

John Fugelsang is a stand-up comic who has taken over the “Viewpoint” cable program on Current TV. He also has takes over where Colbert and Stewart leave off; this is biting comedy with actual news.

He is a real progressive, that is for sure. It sounded like someone who would feel comfortable talking on DU, his show was very liberal oriented.
