John Oliver and the staff at "The Daily Show" got the Zimmerman verdict right
They got/get it right again, as they so usually do.
There's so much hypocrisy, ignorance and injustice coming out of this case and verdict, it's nearly mind-numbing.

Happy holidays
''Legend has it that every time you say, 'Happy Holidays,' an angel gets AIDS.'' —Jon Stewart on the War on Christmas

Americans, working together
''What exactly was this? I can't control what people thought this was. I can only tell intentions. This was not to ridicule people of faith. Or people of activism or to look down our noses at the heartland, or passionate argument or to suggest that times are not difficult and that we have nothing to fear. They are and we do. But we live now in hard times, not end times. And we can have animus and not be enemies.'' —Jon Stewart, in his closing remarks at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear

That "war on Christmas"?
''The season wouldn't feel the same without people going out of their way to be offended by nothing.'' —Jon Stewart on the ''War on Christmas''

Let me abbreviate that for you
There's an article out right now on Alternet.org that I'm sure is very true and funny and smart and the headline is: Why Jon Stewart Is a Huge Long Term Threat to Fox News. I'm sure it's not a terribly long article but, whatever its length, I feel sure I can sum this up in just two brief points. That is, Jon Stewart is a "huge, long-term threat to Fox 'News'" because a) he's terribly funny and insightful and b) he's right.

America's addiction to oil---and our foolhardy lack of vision--and discipline
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me eight times, I must be a f**king idiot." —- Jon Stewart, on the last eight presidents vowing to end America's addiction to foreign oil.

What we need to get rid of
Face it, folks, the United States is broke.
We don't have enough money.
States are broke, the Federal Government is broke, counties, everyone, everywhere.
Broke.
No money.
So, because of this, it seems true that we must change the way we have functioned up to this point, since what we've done up to now has gotten us financially bankrupt. If you do the same things, over and over, but get the same results, it's the defintion of insanity.
Now that we are broke and realize and accept that, it seems things should evolve.
What I'm proposing today is things we should change. In fact, what I'm proposing is things we need to get rid of.
We need to do away with the following:
1) The Coast Guard. As Jon Stewart said on his "Daily Show" a few nights ago, we have a navy so why do we need another, 2nd water-based, boat- and ship-running police?
2) NATO. NATO is 60 years old. It was formed during World War II, for pity's sake. It was a response to countries and structures that no longer exist. We should not any longer support the function of an organization that existed in a completely different time and under absolutely different situations that don't, in fact, exist any longer;
3) Camp Pendelton, California. Someone tell me why we should have this old marine base on the beaches of Southern California any longer. We shouldn't. We need to do away with it, sell the land--in an "up" real estate market, of course--and take the profit. I'm not saying we exist for profit as a nation but it would be a far better and more appropriate use of all that beachfront and it simply makes sense;
4) Our hate, suspicious and animosity for and to the former Soviet Union. This really makes no sense any longer. They're in need of help and it's help we could give them. The flip side? We need them, too. We could and should be partners in helping one another. We both have things the other needs. We should be working together, now and as soon as possible;
5) The missile degense system we're trying to put in Poland, ostensibly, it would seem, against the former Soviet Union. This is another thing that makes absolutely no sense. We're broke and really can't afford this, for one. Th esystem we are trying to build is obscenely expensive and, to date, doesn't work. Secondly, we are no lnoger "the West" or the US vs. the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union no longer exists. Instead of saber-rattling, why don't we look for ways to work together instead? That makes sense. Saber-rattling doesn't.
There's more. There's a lot more.
I'll post more, in time to come.
