Words & Language: June 2004 Archives

I don't watch it nearly often enough, but I find the Daily Show with Jon Stewart a stitch. I like the fact that he usually gives both sides of an issue the a sharp prod with his wit. I ran into a transcript of a commencement speech he gave at William and Mary. Pretty Funny stuff.

I especially like the bit declaring war on a non-noun (although I believe it actually is a noun, BTW) and then suggesting declaring war on ennui. Part of me wonders if this is fake like the Vonnegut speech, "Wear Sunscreen."
