What the gently caress was Collin Quinn even saying? All I heard was blubbering about the pc police and comedy being killed by some nebulous bullshit :qq:

And there can never be enough segments on Cosby and his rapescapades.

Yeah for sure I was talking about Jon. I turned my TV off when Penn started talking.

He told Larry Wilmore it's because people like him that there are so many shootings in America. Classy.

Collin Quinn actually made more sense than Penn, that's a feat.

e; I also wish Rick Perry would just get put into solitary already, the last thing I need at the theater in this stupid state is to be worried about some idiot negligent discharging and killing me or someone I care about.

Wait, was he saying people like himself, or people like Wilmore? Either way, :wtf: but I'm curious.

The Nightly Show is occasionally funny but it has a real hacky vibe, like they're often taking the easy route. The "Psycho Hillary" bit from a few nights back was kind of embarassing, even SNL's Hillary Clinton gags feel more on-point.

Woman getin all hysterical, screamin and throwin stuff, that's funny right?

I agree with you, especially considering the culture in America of white people being perpetually terrified of anything black people say or do (although political slogans like "Take Our Country Back" are somehow totally acceptable).


Well, that doesn't mean "justice or war," that means that the people in question can't be at peace (i.e. contentment) until they receive the same justice as everyone else.
I can understand not knowing how to interpret "justice or else" but that one is pretty clear cut; then again I didn't think "black lives matter" would be as confusing to white people as it is either.

Just watching the white people pearl clutch and poo poo themselves in that segment says it all.

I thought the first two acts of Nightly were weaker than usual because it was just Larry talking for two acts and I dosed off. No contributors or characters. Just Larry processing a non-story and then a dry story.

Also, I'm exactly the kind of idiot lotto player that would keep playing even after the state didn't pay me for my winnings. :(

It's about the thrill of the game!

And I admire Republicans for finding a really creative new way of screwing the poor.

Are you talking about the guy who got tasered, then shot to death because the cop was a'feared for her life that his twitching from being tasered was really him reaching inside his coat for a gun? Or is this a different case because of course it is?

The one where the guy was hallucinating, paranoid because he was ODing on cocaine and having a medical emergency so the cops took him to the ER in cuffs, then two officers tasered the poo poo out of him at the same time for running into the ER entrance.
Then they shackled his legs, put him back in the squad car, tasered him more cause he wouldn't sit up straight and drove him away from the hospital to the local jail and when they get there and open up the back he is a corpse.

The same hospital camera shows the ambulance dropping off his body later. It's like poetry.


My favorite part was one officer pressing the taser to the guys shoulder in the back of the squad car saying, "Act like you got some sense!" ZapZapZap

I work in a college and this year we were given a brief seminar/workshop on what to do if there was an active shooter situation and it all seemed pretty bleak. Pretty much what the guy told us was that if we were outdoors when it is announced that there is an active shooter situation we must run away from the college as soon as possible and under no circumstances enter any building. If we are indoors during such a situation we must find a room and lock/barricade it as soon as possible. The room must remained locked and barricaded until emergency crews arrive and deliver an all clear. All this sounds logical and rational and such, but the downer part of it was that once you are in the room you must not open it up for anyone, even co-workers. It goes under the assumption that the shooter might pose as someone trying to hide to gain entry to a locked room. Again, all very practical but the idea that people are outside running for the lives trying to get into locked rooms where there might be just one person holed up in seems terrifying to me.

Watching Klepper's segment again.

Yeah.

Are there any decent political podcasts out there that aren't just audio-versions of news outlets? Slate's political gabfest is awesome, but only once a week.

You can also try The Todd Glass Show. It's a comedy podcast but he does end up talking a lot about political correctness and some politics stuff as it pertains to comedy.
