Late Night Video — John Oliver Fixes the Flaw in Climate Change Journalism
Climate change is always reported as two opposing views — one side who *believes* and the other side that *does not believe*. Treating a science topic (it isn’t a *belief* topic) as though it was a political topic is one of the worst journalistic offences we are subject to, and we are subject to quite a few of them throughout the day. John Oliver takes note that this topic is always addressed as one for and one against, as though there was an equal amount of scientific evidence that climate change does not happen. He brilliantly works at a fairer debate — one that weights the conversation towards the evidence — hilarious:
Late Night Video — Wil Wheaton Creates an Alternate Game of Thrones Title Sequence
I’ve never seen Game of Thrones, but this was definitely funny:
Late Night Video — Out of Sight, Out of Mind
This isn’t a video tonight, you’ll have to click on the picture below to see the interactive graphic that shows monthly the casualties from US drone strikes. This is a sobering picture (even if a good chunk of their data (the Other category) isn’t well defined. It is also a very well-done infographic:
Late Night Video — Cantor Was Defeated By Voters Afraid of Obama and His Negro Army
This is Bill Maher and his panel going to town on the Cantor defeat. There’s alot of good stuff here, including Richard Clarke’s great comeback:
Carol Leifer: “Vote, and get a free bobblehead!”
Richard Clarke: “We do!”
Late Night Video — Bill Maher vs the Ammosexuals
Hysterical and perfect — Maher points his wit at the Open Carry Ammosexuals, but not the 2nd Amendment:
Late Night Video — Feminist Terrorist Sleeper Cell
Great video from representatives of the Lady Parts Justice Feminist Terrorist Sleeper Cell, a terrorist group responding to the crazy petition by one more exercise in bogus male victimization that is called “A Voice for Men” at Change.org asking the White House to classify Feminism as a Terrorist Group. I never thought of myself as terrorist material, but the Lady Parts Justice Feminist Sleeper Cell seems like my kind of terrorism:
Late Night Video — Common Core and Standardized Tests Make Kids Gay
So this is the end of the argument right? I mean, somehow this has to be the equivalent of Godwin’s law — As the discussion of Common Core and standardized testing grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving homosexuals approaches 1. How does that work for you? Because we have Rep. Charles Van Zant saying that the testing company providing FL standardized tests (and Common Core!) promotes homosexuality (approx 3 mins long):
Late Night Video — A Nun on the Bus Raps Dinesh D’Souza on the Knuckles
Sister Simone is the leader of Nuns on the Bus, and she was on Bill Maher recently when Maher brought up the topic of Mitt Romney’s newfound support for a higher minimum wage. D’Souza tried trotting out the BS talking points and Sister Simone shows him that his talking points on poverty wages were a masked support for corporate welfare. I was on my feet and applauding at the end of this:
Late Night Video — Tropic Plunder
John Hodgeman explores the options available to persecuted millionaires for not paying taxes on American income from the comfort of his yacht — Going Galt.
Late Night Video — Penis Pumps Paid for by Medicare
And penile implants too. All the while no one in Congress or any of the schoolmarm crowd who think that women should pay for their own contraceptives never seem to want to ask men to pay for their Viagra, Cialis, penis pumps or even penile implants. Interesting values here, right? Penis pumps should be taxpayer funded while contraceptives should not be. Hmm. Samantha Bee from the Jon Stewart show takes a look at the hypocrisy:
Late Night Video — A Frozen Father
Who — like very, very many of us — is mightly tired of the “Let It Go” song from the movie Frozen. I’ve only heard this cringeworthy mess a few times and *I’m* over it. Anyway, this Dad wants all of us to Let It Go:
