There are so many aspects of the climate change debate it’s impossible to detail all the arguments; so instead of looking for the last word, I thought I would try to start a conversation. Many believe the world faces economic and social adjustments on a scale never before seen because of global warming. That may be true, but we received these same warnings about global cooling 50 years ago. Nonetheless, most climate scientist agree that human activity plays an important role in the matter. W...

Seth Meyers Anthony Jeselnik is one of the funniest stand-up comics working today. His humor is dark and hilarious, kind of like Sarah Silverman before she decided she wanted to be nice. Jeselnik has the ability to deliver one-liners as funny as Mitch Hedberg and Steven Wright, but the jokes he writes are much darker and take on topics other comics either can’t or won’t. And his material is also so much smarter than a shock-jock lime Howard Stern, I just can’t say enough good things about...
