Jon Stewart Tonight!

Karina and I are headed to see Jon Stewart tonight at Massey Hall. Stewart likes to think he represents the distracted centre -- reasonable people who are at neither extreme and who 'aren't out there fighting for causes because they're busy,' he says. 'My politics is that extremism in any form has proven itself to be damaging.' Refreshingly, he still defends the country he takes the piss out of each night, proud of America's relative honesty. This show isn't a taping of The Daily Show, so it will be interesting to see how much U.S. politics plays into a Toronto performance.
