Oh My...Is anybody Watching John Oliver completely Destroy Fox News?
It is thing of beauty. Going off on there complete and utter hypocrisy on all things related to presidential powers that Clinton used vs. Bush among other things. Simply amazing.

22. Yeppers, Oliver is a screamingly funny guy.
Earlier this week (I was only half watching) he recited a list of "prominent Britist war heroes" (Barnaby McTesticle, Sir Fallopian Tube, etc.) just filled with double entendres, erotic inuendoes, etc. He just about had John Stewart on the floor in hysterics because, as Jon explained later, about half the names Oliver mentioned he had not used during the show's rehearsal, so he was caught flat-footed, like his audience.

He's turning into one of the best writers "The Daily Show" has. Not bad for a Brit! ;)

17. You watch that and wonder
How can people actually take the talking heads on faux as seriously? I remember when my old jobs break room use to run Faux at lunch. I always ended up laughing out loud.

You absolutely have to see this video. It's hilarious and yet informative about how fair and balanced Faux Snooze really is.
