It's not just me


 John Oliver is angry. 

John Oliver is a comedian with a comedy news show. But is harder and harder to laugh.

After over a dozen years on comedy news programs (The Daily Show, John Oliver Tonight), he is all out of funny. 

It gets increasingly difficult to laugh about the news in this country. After a while you realize that funny just isn't funny anymore. The idea of a pompous idiot not accepting the results of an election - kind of funny. In 2006, when a lone nut-job did it in the middle of nowhere - kind of funny. Now. Not funny at all.

Don't get me wrong. I love John Oliver and you can tell he is trying to rein it in. But it is hard when the political people step in a deliver us a dumpster fire.
