Ranking Political Satirists on this Election
I originally wrote this post before the election. Now with the results known this post has quite a bit less relevance then I thought it would. I still believe that although we as a country lost a big battle this November, I do want to highlight some of the bright spots of this political season. These were the voices of reason that Jenn and I clung to up until days before the election.
Discrimination Is Alive and Well in 2014
In the past few weeks both Jon Stewart and John Oliver have done incredible segments on their shows about how discrimination is alive and well in 2014. Jon Stewart used his first episode back on The Daily Show after a two week break to talk about the Ferguson shooting and the fact that racism is still alive and well in the US today. And John Oliver used his show, Last Week Tonight to bring up the embarrassing fact that in 2014 we are still paying women less then men.
One of The Best John Oliver Moments on The Daily Show
I cannot believe this is the first Daily Show video I am posting. For the last year or two Jenn and I religiously watch The Daily Show. It has become our go to dinner show. How can you go wrong, political satire, comedy, and a great interview.
