This is a small portion of the conversation I had with conversationalist Jon Stewart last night.

Jon Stewart: Do you ever read [Mickey Kaus'] Kausfiles?

reyonthehill: Man, is he ugly.

Jon Stewart: (laughter)

reyonthehill: No wonder he's a blogger.

Jon Stewart: And his appearance, that is important to you?

reyonthehill: Yes, I like to read blogs written by attractive people. Which is also why I have stopped reading Wonkette.

Jon Stewart: (laughter)

Jon Stewart hails from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and attended the same high school as my fiancee (separated by several years, of course).
