Notes from The U. of YouTube: Who knew, MAHER hearts ROGAN, ROGAN hearts LENO

O.K., am taking a break from my Major of Roman (especially), Greek, Egyptian histories. Ms Mary BEARD and Metatron have signed off.

So this session has been fave Dave and Conan clips, but then the whole NBC LENO f-over of Conan linked up. And then an entire chain linking of the Conan-LENO thing went on.

Universally, everybody is on Conan's team. So when a suggested link came up on ROGAN-LENO, I was enticed. And SUSPECTED.

And sure enough, there was ROGAN totally kissing up to LENO. Totally sycophantic. And then I remembered when MAHER guested with ROGAN, and MAHER looked, like for an hour-plus, like he was lovingly enthralled with ROGAN, and am talking subservience, ADORATION, intimidated. So MAHER found his Libertarian master.

I'm coming from a contrarian place, that is, like to monitor/Opposition-Research, prefer to monitor the enemy instead of following MY OWN who tell me what I already know, agree with, and want to hear. I don't believe that hearing THE ENEMY will WASH MY BRAIN. I want to know what THEY are up to - tha kewl saying, "Keep friends close, enemies closer."

So I monitor MAHER, some/little ROGAN (the parts where he's open to independent thought, not wingnut whacks).

And ROGAN with LENO was sick.

1. Well, it's one interviewing style to kiss up so much that the guest spills the dirty gossip.

Endless flattery, and the guest starts giving Advice/Counsel from On High, then dips down into dragging on others.
