A Last Word On Truthfulness

A source of truth or consequences
An end of another era: both Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart are off the air - thank you to Comedy Central. I didn't watch their programs all that regularly, but them going off the air is like the loss of Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County. I thought the final commentary by Stewart was relevant to the era he and Colbert panned with great skill. There are no easy fixes to complex challenges we face at home or abroad, but truthfulness underpins whatever long-term solutions we will find. In addition to ruminants belching methane and passing digested forage, the consequences of lost moments of truth are as damaging as a bull in a china shop. Good bye Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
