Thought I was in a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show doing  the "Time Warp."  Yesterday, I once again met my old debating partner, Jon Stewart, on his home field:  The Daily Show.

This came together quickly to show the country that political discourse can actually be fun. It doesn't have to be hateful. The banter was quick and pithy; the mostly young studio audience seemed to enjoy it.

That rarely happens anymore because it requires talent and discipline to conduct a discourse without using the f-word and references to The Third Reich.  Cheap invective is easy; concise framing of your points is not.

America is awash with media haters who want to harm their political opponents, not best them using facts.  We have become a mean country with massive assistance from social media.  Cowards now can throw vicious rhetorical bombs without consequence.

Stewart and I conducted a clinic Tuesday night.  It's a display well worth watching.
Anger always makes things worse. Humor does the exact opposite.

I'll play you some clips on this evening's No Spin News.
