When Keepin' It "Real" Goes Wrong* (pt. 1 of 3)

*with all praise and respect due to Dave Chappelle for the title.

The Daily Show uncorked a great one this past Monday night. Jon Stewart was on fire, and clearly pissed off. I must say, righteous indignation suits him well. It worked on me big time. Made me think about a woman I know who not only teaches elementary school in Glassel Park, but who also served two tours of duty in Iraq as a National Guardsman. Would Sarah Palin tell her, "Thanks, but, gosh darnit, fuck off too, because you're from ol' elitist Los Angeles, which means you're not a real American either"?
