Arizona is the meth lab of democracy.

As someone who is not Christian, it is hard for me to believe Christians are a persecuted people in America... maybe, God willing, one of you will rise up and get to be President of this country; or maybe 44 in a row.

At the end of your life, do you give a concession speech?

--Jon Stewart
Congress: the legislative stone in America's urethra.
--Jon Stewart
Corporations are the only reason the tax code is so complicated in the first place. Those off-shore loopholes didn't get carved out by poor people.

December 25 is National Jews Go To The Movies Day.

Democrats- always standing up for what they later realize they should have believed in.

I have complete faith in the continued absurdity of whatever's going on.
--Jon Stewart
I know the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people, but what I didn't realize is that those people are assholes.
--Jon Stewart
I look at politicians as, they are doing what inherently they need to do to retain power. Their job is to consolidate power. When you go to the zoo and you see a monkey throwing poop, you go, 'that's what monkeys do, what are you gonna do?' But what I wish the media would do more frequently is say 'bad monkey.'
--Jon Stewart
I view America like this: 70 to 80 percent (are) pretty reasonable people that truthfully, if they sat down, even on contentious issues, would get along. And the other 20 percent of the country run it.
--Jon Stewart
I've been to Canada, and I've always gotten the impression that I could take the country over in about two days.
--Jon Stewart
If I'd only followed CNBC's advice, I'd have a million dollars today. Provided I'd started with a hundred million dollars.
--Jon Stewart
If the presidency is the head of the American body politic, Congress is its gastrointestinal tract. Its vast and convoluted inner workings may be mysterious and unpleasant, but in the end they excrete a great deal of material whose successful passage is crucial to our nation's survival.
--Jon Stewart
If they have success, they built it. If they failed, the government ruined it for them. If they get a break, they deserve it. If you get a break, it's a handout and an entitlement. It's a baffling, willfully blind cognitive dissonance.
--Jon Stewart
If we amplify everything, we hear nothing.
--Jon Stewart
If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values- they're hobbies.
--Jon Stewart
If you have too many white people at a rally, then your cause is racist. And if you have too many people of color at a rally, you must be asking for something.
--Jon Stewart
If your regime is not strong enough to handle a joke, then you don't have a regime.
--Jon Stewart
In whose delusional mind is democracy made 'better' by allowing wealthy people to control more of it?

--Jon Stewart
It feels like all the people who want limited government really just want government limited to Republicans.
--Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart is exactly the same guy he's always been, only with money. He knows that the moment he really believes he's important, the funny goes away and he becomes Bill O'Reilly, except shorter and Jewish.
--Denis Leary
No matter what your race, creed or sexual preference, there is a word that people use to describe you that is very nasty. It's what we all have in common. That, and masturbation.
--Jon Stewart
No one's going to march in the streets carrying a sign that says 'Be Reasonable!'

People talk about sexual assault like it's a bad habit that men have.

Peoples' senses of humor tend to go about as far as their ideology.
--Jon Stewart
Religion is kinda like nuclear power: you split the atom this way, you get electricity; you split it that way, you get an atomic bomb.
--Jon Stewart
Religion. It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion. If America leads a blessed life, then why did God put all of our oil under people who hate us?
--Jon Stewart
The first sentence of the Constitution mentions unions and welfare. I don't know what to tell ya.
--Jon Stewart
The Internet is just a world passing around notes in a classroom. That's all it is. All those media companies say, 'We're going to make a killing here.' You won't because it's still only as good as the content.
--Jon Stewart
The Jews celebrate Passover by eating unpalatable food to remind them what will happen to their people if they ever leave New York City.
--Jon Stewart
The Rapture: The ultimate Republican back-up plan.
--Jon Stewart
The reason I don't worry about society is, nineteen people knocked down two buildings and killed thousands. Hundreds of people ran into those buildings to save them. I'll take those odds every f*cking day.
--Jon Stewart
The Republican party is the party of nostalgia. It seeks to return America to a simpler, more innocent and moral past that never actually existed. The Democrats are utopians. They seek to create an America so fair and non-judgmental that life becomes an unbearable series of apologies. Together, the two parties function like giant down comforters, allowing a candidate to disappear into the enveloping softness, protecting them from exposure to the harsh weather of independent thought.
--Jon Stewart
The season wouldn't feel the same without people going out of their way to be offended by nothing.
--Jon Stewart
The Senate seems like the place where smart people go to die.
--Jon Stewart
The wisdom of the masses is not always... wise.
--Jon Stewart
They always throw around this term 'the liberal elite.' And I kept thinking to myself about the Christian right. What's more elite than believing that only you will go to heaven?
--Jon Stewart
We declared war on terror- it's not even a noun, so, good luck. After we defeat it, I'm sure we'll take on that bastard ennui.
--Jon Stewart
We need religion to give grace and comfort to a world torn apart by religion.
--Jon Stewart
When you are actually powerful, you don't need to be petty.
--Jon Stewart

Why would these English explorers search for these spices, yet never use them in their food?
--Jon Stewart
Yes, reason has been a part of organized religion, ever since two nudists took dietary advice from a talking snake.
--Jon Stewart
Yes, the long war on Christianity. I pray that one day we may live in an America where Christians can worship freely! In broad daylight! Openly wearing the symbols of their religion... perhaps around their necks? And maybe- dare I dream it?- maybe one day there can be an openly Christian President. Or, perhaps, 43 of them. Consecutively.
--Jon Stewart
You have to remember one thing about the will of the people: It wasn't that long ago that we were swept away by The Macarena.
--Jon Stewart
You need to take a long, hard look in the mirror and not come away thinking, 'Hey, there's something wrong with this mirror.'
--Jon Stewart
