The Daily Stewart This Week
If you didn't see Jon Stewart's hosting of The Daily Show on Monday, his Main Story about about the total hypocrisy and withering cruelty of MAGOPs in their response to the Los Angeles wildfires. And it was superb. And as it happens, it pretty much overlapped what I wrote this morning -- but it was far superior, both in his blistering fury and how hilarious he was in his commentary. It's a masterpiece.
I almost left things there, because the Main Story was so wonderful it deserves to stand alone. But as a bonus, I'm going to include his interview which not only is deserving as a companion in its excellence (having nothing to do with with the fires), but surprising for being so terrific, given it's usually dry subject matter, an interview with an economist.
However, the economist is wonderful. He's Canadian Mark Carney, who is the former governor of the Bank of Canada...and also the Bank of England. And he's charming, smart, funny and open. And his conversation with Stewart (who clearly admires him greatly), which of course covers Trump's ludicrous idea of making Canada a U.S. state, is as interesting, information and serious, as it is funny. And all the more fascinating is that it turns out he clearly has an tentative interest in running for Prime Minister of Canada, which Stewart keeps trying to drag more and more out of him.
