Van Jones has disappointed me lately.

Louis C.K., I hope he's cleaned up his act (not his jokes, his conduct).

Thanks, Rhiannon!

And I wondered about Louis C.K., too. I thought he was persona non grata everywhere, so I looked him up and he's currently on tour across North America and continues internationally next year. Guess he's cleaned up his act...

I don't get it. It's like he doesn't understand the world we have been in for the last decade and I can't imagine that he doesn't get that.

Although an extremely busy weekend so it might be the first of the week. And I have no respect for Louis C.K., so up in the air if I'll watch this part.

I've always liked Thomas Friedman (Trump Is a ‘Small Man in a Big Time’), so he together with Van Jones could be interesting.

And of course, his opening and New Rules are always fun.

Thanks for posting!
