Jon Stewart: The Intersection of Catholicism and Judaism is ‘Being Sad’

I’ve been in Stewart withdrawal.  Like so many others, our main source of news has been lost.  No really: I never watched the network news nor read the paper; I watched Jon Stewart.  Jon Stewart repeatedly denied and even dismissed as laughable the idea that he was a real journalist.  However, I’m not sure if even Stewart realizes that perhaps the most honest way to report on a farce is by parody.  That is his greatest achievement in my mind.

Here he is on Catholicism and Judaism:

I broke it to [the kids] recently that they’re Jewish.  They’re at that age.  My wife is Catholic, I’m Jewish… we’re raising them to be, um, sad.  It’s the best of both traditions really.
