Hero

Here's my official nomination for Lewis Black to the Hero list.

So why Lewis Black?

If you have ever seen him on the Daily Show (or any other appearance), Lewis Black exemplifies that simple "WTF are they thinking?" attitude that we all need to apply to our thinking about the situation in the USA right now. On the Daily Show the other day, he talked about "Steroids in Baseball" - with everything else going on in this world - the US congressional leaders choose to discuss steroids in baseball. Last night, on Countdown he did a guest appearance and talked about the contents of the President's iPod. With the so called "Liberal" US media focused on issues such as the iPOTUS - it's no wonder people aren't paying attention to what's really going on. Of course, it's all tongue-in-cheek and completely sarcastic - but without pointing out these idiosyncrasies - how can we ever call attention to the things that really DO matter?
