In case you missed it Friday night, and of course you did, because why would you be at home on a Friday night watching MSNBC, then you missed Sarah Silverman telling Rachel Maddow all about her planned “Live from N*****head (Stripping the Paint off of Good Old-Fashioned Racism)” comedy show that hits Austin on Nov. 1.

Myq Kaplan’s debut on Late Show with David Letterman

If you read this site, then you’re probably more than well aware of Myq Kaplan and his love of turning words and phrases into funny fun times.

In the meantime, please enjoy this performance by our man Myq, in which he pokes holes in the flaws of the “needle in a haystack” argument (poking holes...
