  • Grow Up, Jon.

    I’ve always loved this poscast but am ao annoyed by Jon Lovett’s outbursts in the live Melborne shows, where he rants about Australia having a Governor General.

    With all the overconfidence of a high school debator or J. D. Vance, Lovett says some pretty horrendous things about Prince Charles and urges the country to “finish the revolution” like the US has.

    Jon, since you clearly didn’t get the memo, the US lost the right to lecture any country about democracy a long time ago.
