Finally checked out that "John Oliver" that posters here in V&MM Recommended. Here's a Good One

The "You Tubes" kept scrolling and I caught maybe three more shows...which were a bit OTT for this DU'er but still with good content...just a bit OTT but very funny in a deep cynical way.

Hey Go For It! A New Media Voice and thank you for letting us know who he is. If one doesn't have Cable they can watch him on "You Tube."

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Nuclear Weapons (HBO)

We've been skewering pols and tin-pot dictators like this for decades. When I came to the US I couldn't believe how timid so-called journalists were/are here.

We don't do the sophisticated, understated, skewering very well over here.. Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert...a few stand up comedians, that don't get much play, are the best of what we have these days.

We used to be so much better ....something has happened to us.
