Bearded Men, Lost Scribes and Sacred Clowns

***************************************
This is just a little Thank You to David Letterman, because he came back this week, and his show was wonderful,not only because he was back, but because he really acknowledged the Strike and WHAT it was about. It is a funny thing, but the Scribes of our time are what keep us sane, and with humor and satire they help keep it all in perspective. Conan and Dave had both grown Strike Beards. If we can not laugh, how can we look at this insanity around us ? We can't.

Both Conan and Dave are back and have been very respectful of the Writers Strike and also in a way helped us remember why we need These Writers in these Dark Times. Two monthes can indeed feel like an Eternity.

There is an old Native American Tradition called Heyoehkah, The tradition of the "Sacred Clowns", they were the people of the Tribe that made people look at things differently, and they presented a shock factor in how they presented their message whether it be story telling or dance or humor. The were viewed as "Contraries", because they were not ordinary, they were Extraordinary and gifted in how they provoked Thought.It takes Satire and humor to look at Hell and be able to still see the Light. The Scribes of Our Times, that provoke Thought, and Insight, are the writers on these Shows, Dave Letterman, Conan,Jimmy KImmel, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher....and even to a degree Keith Olbermann.

If you have time write Dave at CBS and say Thank You. ( I will post the best address today in the Comments). On another Note I thought I would do my first Poll here, WHICH Beard do you like better ?

A. Kris Kringle Conan Beard ?
B. Dave Cattle Drive Cook Beard ?
