  • Fart jokes are cool, but fascism is upon us.

    Jon Lovett had an incredible megaphone here…. But he mostly uses it to audition for late night with milk-toast political comedy instead of taking on the emerging police state in any meaningful way.

    I hope for his sake he earns the role as “controlled opposition” that he is auditioning for. But this moment calls for a person who can stand on both feet and speak truth to power.

  • Pioneer seed corn? I didn’t think you guys could top Smithfield as a sponsor…

    Please Oh please do a much better job of not seeming like urban disconnected entitled lefty elites. We love your show, we look to you for insight to our political world. Take just a moment and be selective of the corporations that you’re choosing to take money from and share their twisted message on your platform.

Here is where I’ve landed…if you’re in love, say it as soon as you feel it (but don’t be a psycho). If you’re feeling of love is in anyway connected to whether or not the other person responds in kind, you might not actually be in love yet…you might just be in limerence. Good luc... more

Q: Did you ever talk to an entertainment lawyer about what your options were, your rights were?
No, I never thought about that. It's one of these things where any time I speak up about it, I'm kind of told by a lot of people, shut up, just be grateful you got the exposure.
