Pages late but arghhh I missed the Kurt Vonnegut episode. I remember watching that when it originally aired and being dumbstruck that Kurt Vonnegut was still alive. Having read Slaughterhouse-5, a World War 2 novel, several years earlier, I had just assumed he was dead.

Have we gotten to where Dick Cheney shoots his friend in the face? Because that is my favorite episode.

It's Christmas 2005, we've got another 2 months until Dick Cheney shoots a guy in the face.

Never heard of that documentary. Huh. Edit: The anecdote about everyone answering Freedom reminds me of an anecdote I saw in a documentary. After Stalin's death, a bunch of Soviet diplomats came to the US as a goodwill visit. Everyone went out of their way to show how better the american system was. After a week, the diplomats came back and instead of being full of wonder at the variety of american opinions fostered by Freedom, they were amazed at the UNIFORMITY of american thought. "How did you do it?" was the question they asked.

He's interviewing the ambassador to Iraq. This is a crucial turning point from optimist to cynic. poo poo, Jon just characterized the Iraq war as having been dreamed up by the "leisure class." Oh man.

Veskit posted:please tell me the date I would like to watch this later January 16, 2005. It's his first chance to catch departing members of the bush administration and be like, "Hey... it looks like you guys were lying to us. Can you... please tell me what you were thinking? Please... restore my faith that the world is OK...." It's just crushing and sad. Edit: Oh my god, now he's interviewing a former CIA director under Clinton who is now CEO of Booze Allen Hamilton. Edit: Aaaaaaand he's advocating breaking the wall down between the FBI and the CIA/NSA because goshdarnit terrorists. Martin Random fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jul 14, 2015 |

Reza Aslan is a smart dude. Weird seeing him with long flowing locks. Edit: Just watched the obama interview on the archives. Man, you kind of forget just how charismatic and quick obama is. Mostly because whenever you see him nowadays he's talking about a mass shooting or why another vital piece of legislation was blocked by congress.

Seeing all this so quickly, boy, the Dubya jokes just don't show how truly awful he was. I knew he was bad when I was a teen, but God drat.

Sweet, Randy Jackson again! I get to make another post about American Idol! This part where Jon is saying that a mentally incapacitated person goes to sing... Fun fact: That bad singer was set up to fail by producers of the show. Cool! Pop music! Before you go in front of the "judges", you have to sing through 3-4 rounds in front of producers. In those rounds, it doesn't matter if you can sing or not, what matters is what your background story is (if you can sing) or how ridiculous you are (if you can't sing). In a healthy program, the later group would be told that they aren't the right fit for the show, here's the name and number of a great vocal coach in the town you live in, try again in a couple of years! Nope, the producers say "hey wow you're killing it you should sing for Randy and Friends and we'll put you on tv!" and they go on camera and have a lifetime of Youtube embarrassment to deal with and we all sit back and pat ourselves on the back for being more talented or smarter than them and Randy gets to be our voice on the show and talk poo poo, even though he knew exactly who was walking through the doors. All that because of mean-spiritedness. American Idol indeed. The good singers then get tossed around and manipulated so that the producer's choice of winner can make it to the top - the person they think will sell the most albums. Because, when you make the finals and get that sweet record deal all the profits go to the show, not to the artist. American Idol was fake processed bullshit and Randy Jackson deserves a place on the bottom rung of the poo poo pyramid that is the worst of the worst of American entertainment.

The Unnamed One posted:In this segment John Hodgman predicts the future with depressing accuracy. Yeah, he was too conservative in calling when the housing market would collapse. Oof. e; I just realized that it's 2006, which means over the next few days we'll get John Oliver, Aasif Mandvi, Larry Wilmore, but we'll lose Rob Corddry and Ed Helms.

A truly awesome piece of history: Lewis Black joking about a space probe going to Pluto in 2015. Ten years ago it was like, who gives a poo poo, but it's there TODAY. IN REAL LIFE. How cool is that honestly?
