how misleading on the headline

Also: you haven’t eaten, it’s 7:30 PM, you’re slagged after a cross-country flight, don’t know your way around that well, don’t want to get back at midnight with business to do the next day, and there it is... 

Or we could just go find Rick Lax and beat the shit out of him.

I find both your take and the take of the author of this piece to be valid.

I think the point is that we’re all an asshole to someone. None of us are perfect. There’s just something about all of us. 

Agreed.

An article on “why I like this show” that opens with two paragraphs on “why I don’t like Tina Fey” might be the dictionary definition of “burying the lede.”

I find your take on the Colin Quinn comeback to be quite different from my own. “I was not conditioned in a family of abuse to accept that abuse” is the message I take, and the ‘child of alcoholics’ line both makes it specific (therefore funny) and stingingly personal, since Quinn gives off a ‘Family of Boozers’ vibe.…

John Oliver is a national treasure.  Yes, we have stolen him from the UK and he is ours.  

Came here to say exactly this! I was at first thinking I heard him wrong, then I was like: oh. Hearing him talk about Black hair like he has some, coming out in his Brit accented uber-white and bespectacled face was GOLD.

Utah Senator Derrin Owens, wishing to appear as anti-racist as possible, tells the three black women on the call “You people are beautiful” and then brags about taking secret photos of black children in the supermarket checkout line.

I’m not totally surprised that he and his crew did this right, because he really does tend to do the things right.

You can’t really call it a war when one combatant can’t cross into the north or west.   That’s more of a local scrimmage than a true battle.
