I don't have any, particularly, which is why it took me until today to post anything about that damned anniversary. But two people made me feel a little better after the attacks five years ago. One was David Letterman and the other was Jon Stewart.

Take care of yourselves.

Me too. This is what I think of when I see people characterize him as cynical. I mean, of course he is. But he also cares deeply.

I don't see why anyone would put so much energy into pointing out the problems in their country if they didn't love it and its people deeply.

That's the thing I think most people mistake about cynics. Cynics are often the most optimistic of us all.

I used to say that a cynic was a fallen optimist. But yeah, I think it has to do with, as you say below, feeling like we can do better, and why the hell aren't we?

I think the underlying message in everything he says is: "We are better than this."
