Some of you know that it was Jon Stewart who inspired me to start this blog. I loved how Stewart combined politics with humor, and wondered why there wasn’t a blog that did the same thing. I also am an avid reader of Heather Cox Richardson’s blog. And so, I have to say that this video of Stewart talking with Richardson is the best thing I’ve seen in the aftermath of the presidential election.
Yes, I realize that it is an hour long. Yes, I also realize that this is supposed to be a humor blog and many people just want to ignore the election and forget about it. Give it a try, it starts off strong and (spoiler!), ends on a positive note. It got me out of my post-election funk, and it can help you too.
The November 8 blog entry by Richardson is also rather pithy and worth a read.

What’s next? Nothing. It is over. Autocracy & Stupidity won, and will rule the day for the next couple of decades.
Yes, I am pessimistic, only because the Democratic Party will probably lurch to the right once again as they did in the 1980s, abandoning their coalition of poor working people, and minorities.
We are now in the era of the ignorati!
Angles and ministers of grace protect us.
