  • Hooray for Olbermann! He uses “presently” correctly. I finally figured out why I adore him — he always looks like he’s about to giggle.

    Usually, Sarah Silverman’s brand of ‘latent racist’ humor rubs me the wrong way. But, and I know this from personal experience, latent racism is the very best way to simplify your communications with old people — a cultural shorthand, if you will. The scene in which she makes comparisons between a young black dude and an old Jewish lady? It sounded like every argument I’ve posed to my personal old people since 2000. I’m not kidding.

    Therefore: I would like a bleeped-curse-words “for your grandparents!” version of this video, so I can mail it to Aunt Lou and Uncle Al, who have finally figured out how to open links in their email, then pause YouTube and let the video ‘buffer.’ I am very proud of them.
