"So you knew of a potentially fatal ignition problem for 13 years. Let's be clear, that means a child attending her first day of school the day you found out would be old enough to die driving one of your cars the day you loving did something about it."

That's a tremendous line, dripping with righteous fury from the text alone, and Oliver nailed it in a way Stewart never could.

That entire segment about doctors and pharma reps was great, but now my mom is using it to argue that we shouldn't trust doctors when they talk about vaccinations, either :cripes:

Yeah, I don't want to be the guy who says "This is the worst time to do this story," because there's always going to be a reason to not do a story, and it never feels good to censor yourself because of what crazy people might think. But doing a story about doctors getting payoffs from Big Pharma at a time when anti-vaxxers are looking for any reason to double down on their beliefs? Gotta admit, tasted a little sour going down.

He's apparently the subject of a different investigation. The popular theory is that they'll try to flip one of the guys they arrested to fuel the investigation into him. So far they've got six, but The Guardian is claiming that there are as many as 15 warrants out on top FIFA execs.

One other, less likely theory going around is that they're waiting for him to declare himself President again on Friday.

Except when it comes to gay rights

He hasn't been responsible for any real changes but he's still better than the last guy: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/mar/13/pope-francis-lgbt-issues-rights

quote:

This all changed on 13 March 2013, when [Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio] was selected as pope. I made my way to the cathedral that day, photographing jubilant worshippers flocking to the building, even if their now famous leader was in Rome, waving from a balcony. I myself was struck by the fact that I now knew the man in the Holy See, something I could never have dreamed possible. I assumed that Pope Francis would be the same as Bergoglio, backwards on LGBT and other progressive issues, his church sliding ever more into irrelevance. But was I wrong. Bergoglio as Francis fooled me. Indeed I believe, he fooled us all.

While not changing doctrine, the pope made his famous declaration: “Who am I to judge?” in reference to gay clergy. He has spoken of including the children of gay families and the divorced in communion. He met and embraced a transgender man, Diego Neria Lejarraga. I know through social networks that he has met with members of the Argentine LGBT community, though whether those were merely handshakes or more substantial occasions isn’t clear to me. What is clear is that we could never have imagined Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, doing the same. Yet nor could I have ever imagined Archbishop Bergoglio, the very same man in different vestments, doing the same either.

To be fair there's plenty of skepticism, validated by The Vatican's reaction to the Ireland vote, but his gestures are progress all the same.

I am not, so I have to assume it's the accent. Because an Irish chick could do that to me, if I were in any way remotely attractive, funny, or successful like Oliver for that to be a thing.

Let me see if I remember this correctly off the top of my head (don't take it as gospel, wait for someone to confirm): Kate was a...combat medic, I think? Anyway, she was an Army vet, and the GOP asked her and some other members of her unit to speak at the 2008 RNC as part of their SUPPORT ARE TROOPS routine. Oliver happens to be there doing a remote, and when the organizers get wind of this, they order security to physically escort him and his crew out. At one point, they have a close call that sends Oliver and his team booking through the upper floors of the hotel, knocking on doors, looking for a place to hide.

One of the doors they knocked on was Kate's room, and the rest was history.

Interestingly enough, John once told David Letterman that Kate doesn't find him all that funny. Must've married him for his looks.

EDIT: Looks like I was beaten...but mostly right, at least!

So semi serious question, how many refugees are being taken in here in the States? I've heard immigrating here as a refugee is tough, I worked with a bunch of Kosovar refugees as a kid in the 90s and the work they had to do to get here was incredible.

But man, they loved America more than an apple pie shaped like a bald eagle.

As a matter of fact, Barry O had some words with Twitter about that today. He mentioned providing $4.5B in humanitarian aid, and is increasing the number of refugees admitted into the U.S. to 100,000 a year for the next two years. He also encouraged everyone to head over to AidRefugees.gov to find out how they, personally, could help.

And I'll back you up on Dennis Miller pre-9/11. You can see the roots of his conservative leanings in how he rails on Clinton in the midst of the Lewinsky scandal, but that didn't really register back then. For a bookish teenage comedy fan, Dennis Miller Live was the poo poo.
