Jon Stewart + Bill Moyers
We’ll be the first to admit that we didn’t know Bill Moyers was even back on PBS, but nevertheless, it’s nice to see. By way of justification, for one of his first episodes, he’s done a really nice interview with Jon Stewart, which is amazingly candid and forthcoming in a way that’s almost impossible to see on The Daily Show.

I’ve felt kind of jumpy all day, and we’re in this department meeting, and my boss is talking one chair over and even though I know everyone is looking at her, it feels like they’re looking at me and I get freakishly self-conscious when I [...]
Pandering to the Religious RightObviously as we move closer to primary elections, we’ll start to see the wedge issues swing into the fore. And yet, this year we’re hearing a great deal more about how disappointing the religious right is finding the entire stable of Republican hopefuls. So it’s not like the religious right is likely to be avid [...]
