The Daily Show has been…lacking.

I wish Amy Schumer had taken the gig.

I sort of wish Jon had been willing to keep the gig until either Trump lost the nomination or the election.

I gave Trevor Noah a lot of room to settle in, but he’s just not even close to the same comedy level as Jon Stewart.

I always did like Sam on the Daily Show. Glad she’s got her own show now. I haven’t seen a lot of Trevor yet so I don’t really have a comment one way or the other but he had large shoes to fill.

Samantha just summed it up: they don’t need to write any more jokes, the GOP just keeps feeding us crazy, we can only laugh at how desperately absurd it is.

Jon Stewart is a tough act to follow, but Trevor Noah is, well to be honest he’s lame.

By the way, I missed Rubio’s stupid bit about how Clinton supports abortion up until the due date. Yeah as someone born a month premature, I don’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. Man what a painfully ignorant man Rubio is.

An abortion on the due date is not usually a C-section, it’s just “delivery”

I never, ever missed the Daily Show with Jon. It was mandatory stress relief. I don’t watch it at all now.

Larry Wilmore is good, but I don’t know what else to go with except maybe Colbert the next morning.

20 minutes until end of the day. All my kids are gone to their encore classes and my classroom is empty.

Honestly, it was one of the more boring sub jobs I have had. The kids were super, but all I had to do was direct them to their tablet assignments.

I like being able to get up in front of the room and actually teach a subject and interact with my kids. I like the physicality of moving around the room and eliciting answers from the tough kid skulking in back…make him think and get him to realize that he can reason through a problem.

I need to see more of Trevor but a lot of other people I talk to say the same thign as you guys. He’s just not Jon and maybe that’s not fair to Trevor since Jon made the Daily Show into the icon it is today. I never watched any of the Daily Show when Craig Kilborn hosted so I don’t know how he compared but Jon made taht show.

Tablet assignments? Man I’ve only been out of K-12 ten years and education has changed so much. OTOH, my creative writing class feels like how a lot of my old classes did in college. A lot more participation though and less lecture but I think that’s due to the subject matter.

One thing Stewart from what I’ve read did well was hire a lot of the correspondents. A lot of names in comedy that are pretty well known today like Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms, Krstin Schaal, Larry Wilmore were all correspondents and I think I read Jon also brought in a lot of people from The Onion too.

Yeah, we had Apple 2E computers in the lab. I remember playing with Sim City 1.0 on a green screen. Had a blast.

Our geology department at Fullerton in 1987 still had to use Croy machines from the 1930’s to do lettering on large map size documents.

Feel younger than most since I do have a brother still in school and I’ve gotten to know many of the kids since I helped with basketball coaching and scoring games but also a little older too since nearly all my first cousins are Gen X and hell one of them is even older than my mom.

Bundy daughter-in-law on Cliven’s arrest: “This time, they’re rounding up the patriots instead of the Jews.”

First they came for the ranchers who had refused to pay their grazing fees. But I had paid my grazing fees, so I said “Fuck you, assholes”.

Then they came for the militants who had occupied federal property. But I settle my disputes with authorities through politics and dialogue, not through threats of violence, so I again said “Fuck you guys”.

IF they’re going to go all Holocaust-y (you know, Godwinning) with their babbling BS, maybe the reason they were arrested was that they went all in on the beer hall putsch, and they got arrested before any harm could befall the rest of the nation.

Hitler and his thugs thought they were patriots too. And they went on to cause millions of deaths and laid waste to much of Europe.

The Bundy nuts had only a slightly smaller vision. But they aren’t patriots.

They’re domestic terrorists.

re: #92 Eventual Carrion

But 1961 got one (Obama is one month older than me).

Yeah Obama was the first President to be younger than my parents. It actually amazes me that Cruz, Rubio, and Jindal are all younger than most of my first cousins because they act so much older.

Strange but true Ann Dunham, President Obama’s mother was actually younger than Sanders is. Not a diss on Bernie’s age at all meant mind you but that’s just strange to think about just as it was interesting that Reagan was older than three of his predecessors.

Occured to me but we have never had a president born in the 1930’s yet. No 1950’s yet but that can change.

Jeb! was born in 1953, but his road to the White House is very narrow.

Expert level trolling…

A guy who spent almost 20 years in Congress leading jack and shit wants to complain the President didn’t do enough to make things happen.

Yeah, I’m gonna say it: Fuck Bernie.

I like him, too. He’s different from Jon but the show is still pretty enjoyable.

I’m curious but what legislation has Bernie sponsored that has been signed. I know Obama as a senator worked a lot on nuclear non-proliferation for example. Biden had the Americans with Disabilities Act. i mean I am sorry but this attitude by Bernie pisses me off.

I, unfortunately, had a meeting during the David Fry thing. Last I heard he was trying to go the Suicide by Cop way. I am glad it’s over.

And I just had to respond to this.

Ben Carson born 1951.
John Kasich born in 1952.
Jeb Bush born in 1953.
Carly Fiorina born 1954.

Not looking good for 1950s this time around.

Saved the auto industry, passed a stimulus bill which helped end the recession, passed the ACA, got the US out of Iraq, got agreements to eliminate chemical weapons in Syria and to dismantle Iran’s nuclear weapons capability and took executive action to extend rights to unauthorized immigrants and to limit carbon emissions. No leadership there!//

p.s. Forgot reopening relations with Cuba; I’m sure I left out other stuff as well.

Of that group Jeb has the best chance. His only shot is to outlast Kasich and Rubio, forcing the GOP establishment to throw all its weight behind his candidacy in a desperate bid to deny the nomination to Trump or Cruz, then deliver the nomination to Jeb! on the second or third ballot through backroom deals in a brokered convention.

Obama is quite popular with solid Democrats. He’s especially popular with blacks (key component of the Democratic party) and other minorities.

It seems an odd strategy. Almost like he’s chasing after white people alone….

Too much time listening to Michael Douglas’s Greed is Good which became the Republican mantra. They took it to heart.

Not everyone born in the 50’s feels that way.

(Disclosure, I was born in the 50s).

I learned a weird thing about bullying when I was 11 or 12. I had a really bad overbite and this one girl kept making a mock buck toothed facial expression at me. This went on for weeks. I admit, I finally yielded to the temptation to be cruel and one day I let her have it when she did this in front of a bunch of other kids. I said, “Well, I’m getting braces and will someday have a beautiful smile, but your teeth will always look just like that.” She had a very bad case of “tetracycline teeth”, you know, dark yellow gray. It felt really good for a few seconds but I did kind of worry that I had made a real enemy of her.

I could not have been more wrong. The next few days she tried to become my friend——-kind of like the little cartoon yappy dog cozying up to the powerful bulldog. Once she saw I could dish it out she wanted me as an ally. I snubbed her advances. I had no interest in being part of a mean-girl social set. But seriously, it was a big lesson for me that people are way more complicated than grownups let on. Being nice is one way to get friends, but being mean can result in popularity.

Stewart had the benefit of being white when it came to expressing the angrier edges of his point of view.
