I highly recommend this. Constructive. The man is a theologian.

A very thoughtful piece.

Wow. How ironic that we get more wisdom from a humorist than from all the "serious" commentators combined.

[paraphrased] "Let's never become numb to the horror" "ALL those who used inflammatory rhetoric are horrified"

Sadly no, Jon, not all: there's Phelps & Westboro Baptist.

May wee keep the victims, their loved ones, and their community in our prayers, and pray as well for the many people who will be required to support and care for them into the future. Stewart noted how this tragedy holds up the many anonymous people who live good and productive lives .. . its a good insight in times like these. Let's be thankful for such folks.
