I’m not a huge fan of The Hill (to put it lightly), but Judy Kurtz is one of the least-bad writers there, and this story actually quoted much more of Stewart’s remarks than any others I could find.
it’s like he never left. I’m so glad he’s back.
I agree with the second part: I’m so glad he’s back on. But I disagree with the first part. I found it weirdly surreal and reflection-inducing.
ok, yeah, it hit me weird for a couple of minutes, don’t get me wrong. what I meant was that he slipped effortlessly back into the role, seamlessly— not that I didn’t notice that he was gone nor that it wan’t weird to see him back again after 9 years, lol
Totally agree. It feels like an unexpected gift.
He’s back baby!
I’ve learned one thing over these last nine years, and I was glib at best and probably dismissive at worst about this. The work of making this world resemble one that you would prefer to live in is a lunch pail shit job, day in and day out, where thousands of committed, anonymous, smart, and dedicated people bang on closed doors and pick up those that are fallen and grind away on issues till they get a positive result. And even then, have to stay on to make sure that result holds.
So the good news is I’m not saying you don’t have to worry about who wins the election. I’m saying you have to worry about every day before it and every day after forever.

After a nine-year absence, the 61-year-old comedian returned to hosting duties on the Comedy Central show to raucous applause Monday.
The cable network announced last month that Stewart would sit at the anchor desk on Monday nights, with a rotating lineup of other hosts on other weekdays.
Stewart took aim early in his monologue at Biden and his response to special counsel Robert Hur’s classified records report that drew attention to the president’s age and cognitive ability.
“Biden’s lost a step, but Trump regularly says things at rallies that would warrant a wellness check,” Stewart said to laughs.
“They are the oldest people ever to run for president — breaking by only four years the record that they set the last time they ran!” Stewart exclaimed.
Striking a more sober tone, Stewart said: “What’s crazy is thinking that we are the ones as voters who must silence concerns and criticisms.

Really hope there will be follow-up call to action and education on civic engagement and organizing. But not counting on it.
