Nice show you've got there. It would be a shame if something happened to the regular host...

I hate to wish ill on anyone who's not pure evil, or at least not consistently annoying, but I love John Oliver.

Really? Jon Stewart just seems so much better, he is the Michael Jordan of hosts.

Good stuff! Though I'm still hoping John Oliver settles down a bit more. Still to "jokey". Wish he were a bit more relaxed and conversational a la Jon Stewart.

@3 Well, you can't argue over aesthetics. I like Oliver's style, but that doesn't make me right (or wrong). Just spouting my opinion.

I definitely wasn't looking for it.. but last night on my big-screen, HDTV.. everything about Jason Jones was clearly on display.

John Oliver has been doing this for what...2 weeks or so? I think he's doing great and I've really enjoyed the switch (though I still quite like Jon Stewart). And the writing remains great regardless... And is it just me or does Oliver swear a lot more?

Stewart is "Macneil/Lehrer Newshour" and Oliver is more "McLaughlin Group". Both good, just different.

I thought the AP had messed up, but the Republicans changed computer records to make it look like the bill did pass in time. That should be prosecuted fraud.

@9: If they can prove "intent to defraud or harm another", it's a felony, under 37.10. Otherwise it's a misdemeanor, but I think proving the "intent to defraud" bit would be a slam-dunk.

Presumably that would be up to the AG of Texas. If he or she is a Republican, there will be at best a cursory investigation that can find no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing.

Of course, if the Democrats had attempted something like this, many of them would have already been frog-marched to the Austin City Jail.
