Bill O'Reilly seems to be tiptoeing around hinting about what would happen if Hillary Clinton would be elected President. Stephen pointed out that the current "decor" in the Oval Office has more of a masculine theme, but, hey, I think it could be changed. Stephen then became more technical and scientific with his analysis of the whole men vs women as POTUS. He claimed that while men can be ready to go at a moment's notice, women tend to take a more leisurely approach, choosing to send off a letter via one of those weird mailboxes.
Bill'O also predicted that things would happen if Hillary Clinton were President. Things such as ships sailing in the water or testing the waters. That reminds me of a fortune teller saying, "You will meet a tall, dark stranger" or "You will come upon some unexpected riches." Those things happen all the time, so quite a safe prediction. Something, anything will happen and Mr. O'Reilly will say, "See, I told you so." (Bing bing bing.)
In Tip/Wag, Stephen talks about Chevron handing out pizza coupons. Find out about that here. Stephen pointed out that it's the least, literally the least that Chevron could do.
Stephen also talked about the Updated Nutrition Facts labels that the FDA has been talking about. There okay, but Stephen really only needs to know if it's sweet or spicy, soft or crunchy, and, well ... Mouth.
Stephen had more about Campaign Contributions last night when he interviewed Beau Willimon, creator of "House of Cards." Kevin Spacey stars as Frank Underwood. (I wonder, does Kevin Spacey have the most appropriate last name ever?) Stephen compared Kevin Spacey to members of Congress and notes the similarities. Part of the appeal of the show is that Frank Underwood is able to accomplish stuff. After Beau Willimon explained some of the inner workings of the show, Stephen looked directly into the camera and said, "At this point, I knew I had him."
Beau Willimon also told Stephen how important compromise is in actually getting stuff done. Stephen had an opinion on that and expressed it to Beau Willimon. It was a short and to the point.

Red, White, and Blue Nuthugger
The Winter Olympics are almost upon us. Only about half a year to wait. This time around, the Olympics are in Sochi, Russia. And of course, the big news is about the Mascots, although Stephen highlighted the anti gay laws in Russia and the concerns for safety of participants while in Russia.
In a seemingly related story, we found out that Vicco, Kentucky has a gay mayor, Johnny Cummings. Granted, he is mayor of a very small town, but a mayor's a mayor. The people interviewed for tonight's segment were mostly all complimentary about what he's accomplished for the town. Only Pastor Truman Hurt seems to have a bone to pick with the Mayor. The town has earned the honor of being the smallest town to have passed a LGBT fairness law.
Nudge. Kind of a gentle suggestion or urging to do something rather than a mandate. This is being tried in order to, well, nudge people to do the right thing. I think nudging is used all the time, sometimes to urge you to do something beneficial to yourself or the community at large. Sometimes to benefit a small group of people. One example would be to put the stairs in a prominent place and put the elevator back in the corner. The elevator is available, but people would probably be happy taking the stairs and getting a little bit more exercise. Stephen highlighted a case in, I think he said Amsterdam, where the eyesight of men seemed to be improved by simply painting a fly on some porcelain. Stephen also demonstrated the Nudge in a conversation between two people. No he did not demonstrate how his eyesight could be improved. It's a family show.
Stephen's guest was Kevin Spacey. You never can be sure what you will get with Kevin Spacey as a guest. He has sort of a reputation for some reason. The two talked about "House of Cards" a TV show that is not on TV but rather on Netflix. It has been nominated for Emmy's which is very disturbing to Stephen because it is not really a TV show! The men talked some more, about the upsides and downsides of Washington D.C. and Hollywood. Stephen mentioned that Washington is the Hollywood for unattractive people. And while Stephen had complimented Kevin Spacey on his classy suit, I was more impressed by his shoes, especially the red laces.
I thought things were going well. Stephen probably thought things were going well. Then the word Emmy was mentioned, Kevin Spacey noticed Stephen's Emmy on the set and ran over and stole it! All heck broke loose in the studio. It ended up with Stephen actually sitting on the lap of a stunned audience member. While I was surprised that Stephen got so friendly with some unknown woman in the front row, I was not at all fazed by Kevin Spacey. Surely you've heard the expression, "You get what you pay for." If you are going to invite Kevin Spacey to be on your show, well, you get what you pay for.
