Jon Stewart's a Generous Guy, But...

So that thing you heard about Jon Stewart covering the salaries of all his striking writers for the next two weeks. Turns out, not so much.

Stewart may be a mensch, but he's not Mother Teresa.

Jon's a tool.

Are you feeling bad for the white collar strikers? You work, you get paid. You don't work, you don't get paid. That's the way the world works for ... what 80% of us... These guys aren't coal miners.

Nice to see you standing up for the logic of exploitation, Ray. I can just see those West Virginia coal miners now, getting lectured about how they should at least be happy they're not actual slaves. You're lucky you've never been in an unfair labor situation, Ray. If you ever do, though, I'll be on the sidelines, mocking you.
