I share y'all's contempt for NPR but I like Fresh Air and Gross because she is impeccably prepared for her interviews and asks good, occasionally uncomfortable, questions.

And, she and her husband want to keep her kids' public school wealthy and white. (The city is planning to redraw the district to include a housing project. This isn't sitting well with the Jones-Bee household.)

He reminds me of the twerp in junior high who pretends to be a friend but gets psyched when the high school bully picks a fight and he enjoys watching it. Come to think of it, that's every reunion show he's ever hosted.

The last I saw her, she was farting on Dancing with the Stars.

Ugh. The worst. Her WTF interview is very interesting because she comes off pretty sociopathic. Maron tried but could not break her blase veneer of casual cruelty.

It would be the gag reel of a Cannonball Run movie at the end of the credits, but for two talk show segments.

Can you imagine how that would go? Two guys giggling and snickering to themselves.

In his too infrequent podcast, Norm McDonald told how Colbert and Tracy Morgan were up for the last opening spot in the mid-90s. According to Norm, Colbert's audition was genius and the writers loved him, and Morgan's was the same "I'm going to get someone pregnant" crap he uses all the time. Lorne gave the the slot

My point is, Kelly's PR team has done a nice job spinning her as a brave warrior who stood up to the Fox culture at great risk to her career and neither is true. And Carlson didn't went along for the ride until she was canned.

So Megyn Kelly left a job where she was being paid millions of dollars to take another job where she was getting paid millions of dollars. What an act of courage.

I was skeptical about The Who Weekly, but was won over quickly. The real target of the podcast is the crappy gossip rags that need to create celebrities to fill their pages, and the soulless PR machines all too willing to comply.

Google Jason Jones school redistricting - quite a few articles on this.

Can't wait for her road trip with Louise Mensch.

Right. As if voting for Hillary was the same as voting for a progressive feminist. Hillary's version of feminism only extends to wealthy white women like herself. Else, she would be working to eliminate or curb the institutions that harm all people (and disproportionately women) like predatory capitalism or war.

Remember when she was fooled by one? She interviewed a supposed Russian fake news creator and it was pretty clear that she was being clowned on.

No better person to call out a hypocrite than a hypocrite herself. Hey Samantha, how are your husband's efforts to keep your kids' school segregated?

Another interesting use of a first-person-plural pronoun was when Elizabeth referred to Henry as "our Henry" after the teacher meeting. It struck me as both oddly parental (for Elizabeth) and a reminder that Henry is a byproduct of what is ultimately a "business" arrangement (not "business" but you know what I mean.

I fear that because of the credit "special guest appearance by Alison Wright" that this might be it for Martha - a shout-out to the fans by the writers to let us know she's alive. Not everyone on this show does - remember the wife and kid of some agent who Grandma promised a trip to Cuba but who they just killed?

Yeah I don't get the zeal with which he declared that the US will destroy the USSR just like they did with Vietnam. He was almost gleeful about it. Seems to me he's just a pissed-off young man who wants to rebel for the sake of rebelling. If he were around today he'd probably be one of those alt-right-lite kids.

I suspect Trudeau wants to be helpful and thinks that taking Ivanka Trump to a musical about helping people who can't go to their homes might inspire her to talk to Dad about his horrific policies. But nice try, Justin. She's complicit.
