noted in Writer's Almanac (Garrison Keillor, American Public Media):
Today is the birthday of the man who said, "I have complete faith in the continued absurdity of whatever's going on": Jon Stewart, born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, on November 28, 1962. Because of his job hosting the news parody program The Daily Show since 1999, British newspaper The Independent has called him America's "Satirist-in-chief."
He said: "If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values -- they're hobbies. You know, one of the genius moves of The Founders was not writing The Bill of Rights on the back window of a dusty van."
