At the risk of giving Rudy Giuliani even more of the attention that he so clearly craves, I thought Seth Meyers’s’ takedown of him was worth sharing.
John Oliver explodes the myth that Giuliani has somehow sunk to his present state. He has always been a sleazy person with a mean streak.
The state of West Virginia has as its slogan ‘Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia’. Tomorrow will see a primary race for the US senate where the ‘wild’ part is clearly on display. The Republicans will choose a candidate to run against the Democratic incumbent Joe Manchin. One of the people vying is Don Blankenship, the CEO of a coal mine that collapsed in 2010 killing 29 workers. He was convicted for negligence and served a year in prison and was released last May.

Cartoonist Matt Bors wonders what the talk show panelists in North Korea are saying about the proposed meeting of their country’s leader with Donald Trump.
The annual White House Correspondents Dinner is an event that should cease to exist. It represents the worst kind of schmoozing between journalists, the people they cover, and celebrities and only serves to cement their sense of insider solidarity against all of us yahoos on the outside.
