OLIVER!!!

[kivrin]

I've never had a cable subscription. I've never even lived in a house with a cable subscription, unless you count college dorms. Partly that's urban privilege (I know in many areas, particularly mountainous ones, a cable subscription is necessary if you want to receive anything at all), partly that's recovering-hippie parents, and partly that's personal frugality/laziness. But it is a thirty-six-year streak.

And one little HuffPo article has me considering changing all that.

John Oliver Leaving The Daily Show To Star In An HBO Talk Show.

DAMN YOU, OLIVER! DAMN YOU AND YOUR WIT! AND SUCCESS! AND DIMPLES!
