Unfortunately Gitmo isn’t very funny to most people…

BUT..!

Uncle Jay still made me laugh for the rest. The montage of presidential candidates was priceless. And thank goodness those writers avoided not going on strike!

Uncle Jay seemed a bit snarkier this week, though I can’t say I blame him. :)

All men – all people. UNalienable rights. I don’t see anything to suggest that Canadian, Chinese, Brazilian, Pakistani, or any other citizen of a foreign country has less rights when under the presumed authority of the US.
