I was still trying to figure out if John Oliver was really going off the air, or it was the end of this season, or we'd just missed the final few minutes of his piece because we have a stupid DVR that clips the final few minutes.

COVET NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR’S ASS
So there we were in the car driving home. I was mentally shuffling the heap of miscellaneous stuff that passes for my brain and trying to remember all ten of the commandments. Why?

ALL THE ANSWERS YOU’LL EVER NEED
We spend too much time trying to figure out what life means. Why bad stuff happens. Whether or not a malevolent deity has it in for us. It's normal to wonder if the reason you are sick, broke or miserable is the result of something you did or failed to do. To accept the total … Continue reading ALL THE ANSWERS YOU’LL EVER NEED
