It is a sign of the times that truly thoughtful discussion has to come on Comedy Central. Mr. Howard epitomizes an honorable person by telling the simple truth as he understands it. A very refreshing and novel idea. In my perfect world there would exist a “Department of Common Sense” that could overrule the actions of the Congress, the President and even the Supreme Court when their actions seriously violate common sense.
Of course I would like to be the head of that department. 
Mr. Howard would be Deputy Director.

This was a fantastic interview, I highly recommend the extended interview available online as well. I recently sent Mr. Howard an email note, but just wanted to thank him again for his dedication and vision on these critical issues.
