Has John ever said if he would want to take over the Daily Show? I would love to see that happen.

They're both great. If JO took over DS, who would do LWT? Better to let JO do what he's doing. DS will find someone.

Oh, no.

I take it that was sarcasm.

I get the impression the TPP is destined to fix those pesky problems that various industries have with those reluctant governments.

plus that other similar sounding law they want.

But I gotta say...Oliver's approach is marvelously subversive.

- Peaceful or otherwise. Preferably peaceful, but have it we must, or they might as well throw the dirt over us now.

And we have to do it soon before the cancer metastasizes. This can't be fixed......

But I do think there is a revolution going on;
it is a stealth revolution. It's the only way.
Finding doors the enemy doesn't know about,
sneaking in, disabling their power.
