Chaos Cannot Sustain Itself.

Jon Stewart's monolouge from September 20, 2001. His first broadcast after the disasters of September 11. I'm pretty sure I saw this when it was on, but those days were pretty weird. But it is worth watching again to remember how amidst all the sadness there was a lot of hope for a better America.

Hat tip to Democratic Underground. Stewart may come off as a clown and many will deride him as pandering to know-nothing slackers. But I think that behind all the sophomoric humor there are some very serious, very smart people who love this country very much. Sometimes one can only get away with saying the kinds of things they do about those in power if it is hidden behind a veil of "harmless, juvenile humor." He's dead serious here though.

Stewart: The view from my window used to be the Twin Towers. Now it is the Statue of Liberty.
