This show is a national treasure. If you don't know about it, you are tragically uncool. But I will help you. This is the brainchild of Zach Galifianakis who also plays the uncomfortable, inappropriate, socially-inept host. He has had many celebrities as well as political power players on for interviews that range from rude to offensive. It is genuinely up there as one of the funniest shows around. Zach had Hillary Clinton over for a chat.
"White power tie."
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
And if you haven't seen the interview with Barack Obama, treat yourself.
Still Haunted
When I was little, about eight years old, I saw a commercial for furs coats, at least that is what it started out as. It had a new-wave, synth, rhythm track; women; and women-wanna-be's painted up like Nagel illustrations. From the jump, it had my attention for this kind of aesthetic commanded my attention - not sure why. We'll have to talk to the shrink later about why this particular type of aesthetic has always been so haunting.
I remember Robert Palmer-ish models (all the models were Robert Palmer-ish models at that time) on a stage (I didn't know what a catwalk was). I remember an audience dressed very much like the models. I remember shock and horror as they all began to be covered with blood breaking up their pristine white make-up. I think it is time to run the tape...
I can't be sure what had me think of this tonight, but I have thought about it a million times since I saw it 31 years ago. Fuck. That is a long time.
Don't buy fur.

Jimmy Kimmel slaps Sarah Palin and Climate Change denial.
This was a really good segment about what I believe is the most important subject in the world: climate change.
It is always fun to see Sarah Palin speak. She is the dumbest person in any room that she is in, thinks she is the smartest, and has the confidence that propels such an idiot to speak publicly. Every speech is a winner: to us who find her word salad to be comedy gold and to her who thinks she inspires. She has no clue that her brand of language is a reading level up from "duckspeak".
Anyway, Sarah Palin has opinions about global warming. Fancy that. She thinks it doesn't exist and she put together a little movie that explains this "scam". Enter Jimmy Kimmel.
Jimmy took a moment to talk about climate change and the confusing political argument that has emerged around it. NASA says that 97 percent of climate scientists agree that the warming we are experiencing is very likely due to human activity - but some politicians still want us to believe it’s all a hoax. So he enlisted the help of real climate scientists to clear some things up for dear Sarah.

The Boston Globe made a funny, a scary funny
They are eight days late for a really good April Fool's joke. However, they aren't really making a joke. The Boston Globe just published a fake front page, top to bottom, about the future America of a Trump administration. They hit all the promises: the wall, trade wars, deporations, killing the families of ISIS militants. It's a pretty ballsy move to make your whole front page an editorial, satirical, cautionary tale. Take a look:
I still think Trump's chances of being elected President are about the same as a black man's chance of not experiencing a hate crime at a Trump rally. That said, contemplating a Trump America is horrifying. We would spend generations cleaning up after his power trip and that is only if we survive. I'm not confident that we would.
