The author offhandedly said that people should step outside their comfort level. "If you always watch MSNBC, maybe you should switch to Fox for a little bit, just to get your blood boiling a little bit." I guess that works for Jon's Stewart's writing staff- they can continue to dip into that endless pool of idiocy for prime time material. I have a better idea. Instead of "boiling your blood," how about giving yourself a real challenge? How about "engaging your brain" just a little bit more by trying GNU/Linux?
