Yes, it can get overwhelmingly bleak at times. I despair at times at what's happening.

One of his best is Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.

He didn't get all that political in this interview, but I thought it was worth posting anyway since he always makes us laugh and you could tell that Stephen was delighted to have him there. These days, we need the laughs where we can find them...

Things have gotten so dire that I look forward to their take on things - and I figured we need all the laughs we can get right now...

I sure don't envy the writers, but they're always up to date. I remember when Bill Maher said that if George W Bush* won, it would make his job a lot easier. And it sure helps that they're on our side...
