Wow, what a great show last night!
The main story was, as ever, devastating and important. But Pumpkin Spice Yelling Voice-Over Guy was back and hitting it hard.

Oh I missed it 
I didnât realize it was back. I am glad the writerâs strike is over.
Iâll look for it tonight
If you have Max, itâs on anytime you want. And if you have HBO, then you (should) have Max.
Also possibly available on YouTube.

So excited for it to be back. I also caught an ultra-extended A Closer Look by Meyers. He still has it, but to be honest SO MUCH happened that it was just a tidal wave of info.
Still waiting to watch LWT, havenât cheated on my partner by watching the new one without, but may soon if they donât want to.
Actually, my DVR caught it, but since I wasnât expecting it, I didnât know to look for it.
I like his humor a lot. I really donât agree with a lot of his politics, but he is funny and has great writing. I love a lot of the absolute stupidly silly stuff that he does, like the whole bit about that Australian banana statue.
Pumpkin pie spice guy was awesome.

Well, I understand the news broke on Saturday, but I was disappointed that he virtually completely ignored the news out of Israel & Gaza (I/G).
As I have said here before, I enjoy JO and his take on things. And I consider myself âcenteredâ politically, I probably align myself as a fiscal conservative and social âsomewhatâ liberal.
And while his story of the week was about the power of the pro-homeschool lobby, and he took pot shots at American neo-nazis, he has previously shown himself to be anti-Israeli and perhaps antisemitic. In fact, he actually told a joke this week about how he cannot wait for and hopes for the death of former Secretary of State and Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Kissenger, who is Jewish.
I assume next week, he will be all up and into the I/G situation. I expect him to be critical of Israel. Militant terrorists have continually attacked Israel, and then Israel responds with counter attacks. And JO unfairly criticizes the Jewish state for disproportionality in itâs response.
The muslim world celebrated the attack on Israel, even in the US. I wonder, with 8 days to plan his story, will JO condemn the attacks as terrorism, or will he join in the applause?
I think he records on Saturday.
Source?
NY Post might not be your favorite source, but there are photos showing celebrants, Palestine flags, and a certain abhorrent, squar-ish symbol you will easily recognize.
Iâm not sure Kissingerâs Jewishness has anything to do with it. That dude is a fâing monster, responsible for the deaths of countless innocent people.

Yeah - disliking someone who is jewish is significantly different than disliking someone because they are jewish.

Now, that is rational.
So, how do you think that works out in the real world?
He has a very long resume filled with lots of good and bad stuff. Mostly bad imo.

Disagree. He prevented nuclear war and stabilized the cold war. The world might not literally exist today if it were not for him.
Iâm not quite sure I understand your question. What is âthatâ?
Millions of Cambodians would like a word.
His cold war accomplishments and middle east involvements were mostly fine. He really goes off the rails in Vietnam and later imo.
Itâs fine to disagree about him. He will always be a controversial figure.
Nobel peace prize is another puzzling âaccomplishmentâ of his. The Vietnamese guy turned his down because they didnât actually achieve peace. If anything, he should have gotten it for his work in the middle east.

And what exactly are you pointing the finger at Hank for, when the real sociopath was Pol Pot?
Iâm saying your sentence has perfectly fine logic, but too many people donât think that way. Say one critique about one Jew, and instead of arguing that point, yell Anti-semite, and claim a W.
Exhibit A on display right here.
