Thursday Morning

Sorry…been dealing with my knee and related problems. I think I have a new date for the surgery but I'll believe it when they administer the anesthetic.

I've been enjoying John Oliver as host of The Daily Show. That bit they did his first night where all the other correspondents were pissed at his promotion was as funny as anything the program has ever done. The bit they'll do when Jon Stewart comes back and they're all pissed that he left that #%@&!!# limey in charge will be just as funny.

I've figured out how the government can win back the trust and hearts of all Americans over this phone-spying thing. They use the data they've collected to winnow out all the unwanted calls we get from Heather at "Account Services" or people who want to refinance our homes or contractors who want to rebuild our homes, then they use that data to throw all the people responsible for those calls in prison for the next few centuries. That would do it for me.
