The ghouls at Fox News have ruined it, but I’m going to go ahead and use the phrase fair and balanced to describe this Jon Stewart Daily Show segment on cancel culture. He is, as is often the case, absolutely right. Most of the people who yell the loudest about a lack of free speech …

April’s Bloopers And The Leafs
Speaking of bloopers, how about them Leafs? Yeah, low blow. One that I’m not sure how much they deserve considering that Auston Mathews had one of the best years a Leaf has ever had and they made the playoffs yet again. But then they did what they always seem to do, forget that they’re any …
I’m Sick Of These Mute Muting Mutes In this Mute Muting Movie
If you’re a certain kind of person, the idea of a device that could cut all of the bad words out of movies and TV shows might sound just dandy to you. And if it could also swap those words out of the closed captions and replace them with nicer ones? Even better! But I …

Bunches Of Bloopers And A Big Thank You
I hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. Mine consisted of a family brunch and a trip to AEW Collision in London. I want to take a second to thank our friends Barb and Alex for setting us up with tickets to that second thing. Twas extremely amazing of you to do that and trust …
Can I Help You Out?
Enjoy this video of Milton Berle getting absolutely roasted by Statler and Waldorf on the Muppet Show in 1977. Funniest thing I’ve seen today, and it’s not close. Sorry, very good late-night monologues and Daily Show segments I’ve also been watching this morning.
Best News Bloopers Of February, 2024
I’m bringing some erotic reptiles to your surprise party! See you th…uh-oh. And today must be starting off ok. I wrote the word February without mistyping or having to think about how to spell it. Well, at least I did the first time. The second one almost ended up being Febuarary when I lost control …
Learning The Word No and Using It Liberally Might Be A Good Place To Start
As satisfying as it is to watch the Prime Minister of Canada absolutely torch Bell and others for the way they do business at all of our expense, I have to say that it would be much more satisfying if someone…anyone in government with any sort of real power had said some version of it …

You’ve Used Moderate In A Sentence. Now Try Using It Appropriately
I like this Daily Show segment because it gets at a media tendency that’s really been getting on my nerves. This thing where anyone on the Republican side who isn’t completely out of his fucking mind is a moderate. No. Stop. Being less insane than the most insane option does not make you not insane. …

Happy Valentine’s Day. Please Accept These News Bloopers As A Token Of My Love
Many slips of the tongue here, which sounds like a fine Valentine’s Day to me. And I’ve got a feeling this would be even better if I understood literally anything about yoga.
Firings
A few moves I feel the need to comment on. Bell Canada slashing 4,800 jobs, selling 45 radio stations I didn’t realize there were that many people still working there. I kid, but only a little. In the last few years that company has been gutted until there’s nothing left to gut, and then somehow …
