The Daily Show with Brian Williams?

brian williams jon stewart


 Must see TV at our home includes The Daily Show
So, the night Jon Stewart said it's time for him to go,
Was a time of deep depression.  First we lost Colbert;
Now where will we find fake news? Unbalanced, yes...  But fair.

Last Week with John Oliver is great, but not enough.
Larry Wilmore's Nightly Show is still a little rough.
Who can take Jon Stewart's place?  I've given it some thought.
I think Brian Williams ought to give the job a shot.

Not to be insulting him by jumping on the pile
But, since Brian Williams won't be busy for a while,
As a guest he's proved that he's a smart and funny guy
I think he should give Jon Stewart's anchor-chair a try.

A Patriot In His Own Mind

Brian Williams and Edward Snowden.


"Coward and a traitor" or a patriot who's brave?
Edward Snowden, in a recent interview he gave,
Said to Brian Williams he's a patriotic guy
Who exposed abuses he discovered as a spy.

Tried to go through proper channels over his concerns.
Wouldn't get a chance to make his case if he returns.
(He's accused of treason; says his trial would not be fair.)
Only stayed in Russia 'cause the U.S. trapped him there.

Patriot or traitor?  It depends how you define
Service to your country...  Did Ed Snowden cross the line?
Are his leaks on NSA something we need to know
Or has our intelligence received a fatal blow?

I believe, in Snowden's mind, he served the greater good.
With his theft he's proven almost anybody could
Access all our information...  Privacy is dead
And the only reason that we know is thanks to Ed.
