Jon Stewart also Stepping Down

This bums me the ♥♥♥♥ out. Both the Daily Show and the Colbert Report functioned as both a fresh and unique take on the news, one that grew even more honest over time. Losing Stephen Colbert was bad enough, but knowing the entire set is on its way out just crushes me. Especially as we lead into 2016, where the ♥♥♥♥ is stinking to a higher heaven than ever, I feel that both of their presences will be missed.

Silent Conversations and a Crow's Final Song!
My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.

FUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I honestly didn't like Colbert that much but Jon Stewart leaving pretty much devastates me. The fact that he could keep me interested in Murrican news and politics even though I live in Mexico was a testament to just how entertaining he really is.

He will be missed.
Just remember this, when you see her on the street.

I really enjoyed both the Colbert Report and the Daily Show. So it is pretty sad to hear this. Both shows were an effective comedic take on current news.

For those of you that don't know, Jon Oliver has a show called Last Week Tonight, which is in the same vein as the Daily Show. You can find most of the episodes here https://www.youtube.com/user/LastWeekTonight
