I don't know about your wife, but my wife's iPhone prevents her from doing anything else for several minutes after it makes any sound. Even text messages can't be dealt with after she finishes the sentence she was saying when it dinged.
Everytime she has a problem with her phone I pretend to try and figure it out for about 10 minutes, google some stuff, pretend to call a friend, then say I found the problem and point to the Apple logo.
If you look like him I will never listen to a word you have to say. If you look like him I can tell you your exact stance on every issue, the car you drive, the music you like, your home decor, everything.
Looks are a superficial quality so I'm not sure how that has anything to with anything.
You want a better idea of my stance on issues, look at my post history instead.
Just because I agree with [some of] the issues like Oliver and Stewart bring up does not mean I agree with the common mainstream liberal solutions.
EDIT: Just for fun I'd love to see you guess at my exact stance on every issue, tell me what kind of car I drive, the music I listen to, and especially my home decor.
By "you" I meant anyone that wears that silly hipster pseudointellectual costume that John Oliver wears.

I had this thought too, but I don't think he's saying he can do that for everyone, just for that particular "look".
It'd be impressive to see anyone gauge exactly anything about me by how I dress/look.
It states that Boehner tried to “consolidate power and centralize decision-making, bypassing the majority of the 435 members of Congress and the people they represent.” It accuses the speaker of using the “legislative calendar to create crises for the American people, in order to compel members to vote for legislation.” The resolution also charges Boehner with using the Rules Committee to limit amendments.
The “Speaker has, through inaction, caused the power of Congress to atrophy, thereby making Congress subservient to the Executive and Judicial branches, diminishing the voice of the American People,” it reads. “Whereas the Speaker uses the power of the office to punish Members who vote according to their conscience instead of the will of the Speaker.”
You hate Boehner, but when someone stands up to him it's "total dysfunction"? I would have liked to see Democrats with the juevos to stand up to Reid/Pelosi.
Uh yeah, its complete dysfunction, considering its never been done before, and it comes right before a month long recess, oh and there has still been no vote on the highway bill that has to pass in the next two days in both chambers.

So, it's crappy Congress as usual, with a slight twist? Stop being a partisan hack and praise people for fighting against the type of scum that has led both aisles Congress over the past several years. I say we shake things up a bit, it's not like the approval rating of Congress can get much lower.
Maybe if he actually had organized this "revolt" he would earn some praise. However this is a complete waste of time, he doesn't have the votes because he didn't even talk about it with other people. He just went out there and called for a resolution against Boehner out of the blue, its not even going to get 50 votes and it will just make Boehner stronger.
That's one reason I refuse to live in any neighborhood with a Homeowner Association.
I never will again. Someone took out my mailbox a few years ago, so I replaced it. 2 weeks later I got a letter from the HOA demanding I replace it with the standard mailbox required by the HOA regulation. Turns out the standard black mailbox I bought had a red latch, not a black one... Such petty BS.
