This isn't the first time I've mentioned Parasitic Wasps. They're a rude sort of parasite, laying their eggs inside unwitting hosts to grow up and eat them from the inside out.
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of John Oliver. When my aging body allows me to stay awake late enough on Sunday nights and there’s a new episode on, I’ll almost always be watching.
Back in the 1990s, Khristian Oliver (that's an interesting name) was robbing a man's home. That man had a rifle to defend his home from robbers, but Khristian took the rifle from him, shot him in the face, and then used the rifle to beat him to death.
I've been a fan of John Oliver for some time and think he even did a better job than John Stewart when he stood in for him for a few months. This is just one of the excellent reports he has done on his new show and hopefully some journalist will take note. Its a shame when comedy shows like this, The Daily Show and the Colbert Report do better journalism than supposedly proper news shows
I like it - shout down opponents without actually proving a point.
