‘Daily Show’ host Trevor Noah wishes ‘pro-lifers’ would devote their zeal to gun control – twitchy.com

There was a sigh of relief across the entertainment industry afterSouth African comedian Trevor Noah managed to earn enthusiastic reviews forhis debut as host of “The Daily Show.” Today, though,we’ll just go ahead and sigh. It’s not that we thought Noah would manage to find humor across the political spectrum; we just didn’t think he’d resort to unfounded liberal clichs so quickly.

The Los Angeles Times notes today that Noah tackled the subject of gun control on Monday night’s show by wishing that pro-lifers would devote some of their zeal to preventing gun violence; i.e., passing gun control.“Imagine if we could bring some of that pro-life passion into being well, more pro-life.” ROTFL!

His comedic observation? Republican anti-abortion activists are like comic book collectors: “Human life only holds value until you take it out of the package, and then it’s worth nothing.”

Because until it’s delivered, the fetus is just a clump of cells. Didn’t you learn anything from Bill Nye’s dropping of hardcore abortion science?

If you can handle the hilarity, the clip “Not so pro-life after all” can be streamed at Comedy Central’s website.

Confusion over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s condition already has been so great as to inspire a “Where’s Hillary?” headline on the Drudge Report. After Clinton was revealed to be under treatment for a blood clot in her head, liberals lambasted those who questioned Clinton’s concussion, despite reports from medical professionals that the two conditions were likely unrelated. Then there was that stomach virus.

Headlines today that Clinton had been discharged from the hospital would seem to clear up matters.

Happy To Hear Hillary Clinton ( @hrclinton ) Has Been Discharged From The Hospital!

— Jackée Harry (@JackeeHarry) January 2, 2013

They would clarify things, aside from the fact that she might not have been discharged. Yes, she was spotted leaving the hospital with her husband and daughter, but that only seems to prove that she left the building. Whose tweet are you going to believe?

So Secretary Hillary Clinton has “left” the Hospital and the photos and video confirm that. But has she been “discharged” ?

Playing (Less) Hurt

(Book). Making music at any level is a powerful gift. While musicians have endless resources for learning the basics of their instruments and the theory of music, few books have explored the other subtleties and complexities that musicians face in their quest to play with ease and skill. The demands of solitary practice, hectic rehearsal schedules, challenging repertoire, performance pressures, awkward postures, and other physical strains have left a trail of injured, hearing-impaired, and frustrated musicians who have had few resources to guide them. Playing Less Hurt addresses this need with specific tools to avoid and alleviate injury. Impressively researched, the book is invaluable not only to musicians, but also to the coaches and medical professionals who work with them. Everyone from dentists to orthopedists, audiologists to neurologists, massage therapists and trainers will benefit from Janet Horvath’s coherent account of the physiology and psyche of a practicing musician. Writing with knowledge, sympathetic insight, humor, and aplomb, Horvath has created an essential resource for all musicians who want to play better and feel better.
