Wow! The crap I read on this list never ceases to surprise me.

At least we now know that the People's Committee on Humor has decreed

that the Daily Show is reactionary anti-proletarian entertainment.

Long live Chairman Chavez and Chairman Castro! All power to the People's

Rear Area Organization!

Meanwhile the hyper-individualist-anarchists have decreed that even if Stewarts middle of the road-ish humour helps in some small way to set a US public mindset in opposition to Chavez criticising it is absolutely not allowed. Criticizing Chavez from a "wonderbreadish" perspective is deemed more than merely acceptable but is labelled "Brilliant" by these mutualists. This is not however a double standard even if it appears to be to the non-anarchist eye since Chavez is a tool of the left wing of capital and Stewart is a brilliant slightly left bourgeois TV personality.

Chuck, you really have no idea what the term solidarity means do you? From a childish perspective it's all just a form of parental authority that must be opposed.
