Just because Lloyd once said 'Goldman Sachs is doing "God's Work"'. And it is. He just didn't say which God. Maybe it was Shiva 'Lord of Destruction'.

Long slow and painful. Thank you Jesus. Ah, this is great. This is great. The Democrats had the same situation when they won last time in 2008. Now Republicans get that Hillary vs. Obama magic ... minus any women or black people ... or magic ...

I reject all pre-written words. That's why I'm against reading books. I mean books are a lie. When I read the words make thought sounds in my head, like I'm thinking them.

  1. I thought he looked so cute and sweet on the one with Katharin Boo at the end of the show when he said Goodnight posing sitting at his C Shaped desk too bad he has to have a ridiculase side to him

  2. I will apologize in advance for what is likely to be an incredibly disjointed comment.

    It has been far too long since the last Monkey on the Lamb. After the recent elections in Alabama, they’d probably prefer apes overrunning the state. I know I would.

    Kermit!! I would have never thought a little green frog could give us a more rational and well thought out analysis of the current state of the GOP election than 90% of the newscasters out there. I guess I never knew what a specist I was.

    *Shudders at the thought of Santorum and Gingrich forming a “Rainbow Connection”*

    McKinnon… seriously, an ascot. An ascot. Say what you want but that’s a ballsy move.

    Loved Stephen’s “Watch where I point this thing.”

    • Oh, dear Kris: no worry about Newtie and slimy Santorum forming a RAINBOW connection-don’t you know that’s gay? ;-) But forming an ultra-conservative, tea-soaked coalition? Ummm, yes. And the only good thing I can think about this is… they couldn’t POSSIBLY win the election. Could they?

      And, oh, how I love me a green Kermie! That was a big surprise, but totally adorable.

      • If they win, I hope the Aztecs were right and it’s the apocalypse soon because I don’t think I could take four years of that.

        We are totally calling them Newtie and Slimy Santorum from now on (although slimy Santorum may be a bit redundant, I like it nonetheless).

        You know what would be great? Kermit and Ms. Piggy, as well as, Jon and Stephen. It would be great to watch Jon and Kermit putting up with Ms. Piggy and Stephen throwing fits about whatever. Just saying.

    • I’ll be honest, I didn’t hear a damn thing McKinnon said because I couldn’t take my eyes off that ascot.

      • I had the same problem. I was like, is that a choker? Ah, Republicans. They always have fascinating ensembles.

  3. Also, as a general note from Ms. Better Know a Guest: I don’t better know tomorrow’s guest for Jon. It is still not up on his site or any site.

      • Did you see? There was no guest! It was all John Oliver, being brilliant. And our old Floridian congressman from “Better Know”-the one whom Stephen tricked into saying all kinds of things because he was running unopposed. Oh, I think he was gotten again, by Mr. Oliver.

      • That was a fantastic segment. It’s so easy to pass and uphold these bullsh*t laws when you’re sitting in your cozy Washington office, a world away from the people that will most feel the effects. I know Wexler’s probably not a bad guy (aside from his penchant for cocaine and prostitutes), but I kinda wanted to punch him in the face. Right in the face.

        LOVE John Oliver.

      • “I know Wexler’s probably not a bad guy (aside from his penchant for cocaine and prostitutes)”

        Remember, colbaby. He’s a former congressman. From Florida! So his penchant for hookers and blow are his good points!

  4. Someone give everyone in the hair and makeup department a raise and whatever they want from the dessert and/or snack table! Bunch of geniuses this week. :)

    I was so excited to see another Monkey On The Lam! The opening alone makes me laugh. Also, I’m glad that the Mark McKinnon interview was what I had hoped it would be. And it makes total sense that “Stephen” doesn’t know the person on his monitor is him. It is scary how zoned in they are with that character.

  5. Stephen’s scene with Kermit was yet another testament to his acting prowess! He totally had me going that he was engrossed in conversation with our favorite frog.

    Great segment…

  6. @lockhart43 Since you’re the only person I “know” in Michigan, when I heard about a tornado landing there I worried. But now that I’ve finally been able to get online, and seeing that you are feeding the entire hair and makeup dept. I know now you’re fine. Yay you! :)

    • Aw thanks friend, the thoughts are much appreciated and very kind. I think there were actually two or three that touched down; the damage in Dexter (by Ann Arbor) made the USA Today’s website. I’m grateful that all we got was a serious downpour, thunderstorms, and hail. Beware the Ides of March, indeed. Again, thanks. :)

      And you’re darn right I’m feeding the entire hair and makeup department, and even the wardrobe department - another great job tonight! 4 for 4!

      • You’re welcome! Glad to hear it didn’t affect you.

        And long may you live, prosper, and stare at your state’s perfectly sized trees!
