Last Week Tonight Last Night
If you didn't get to see last night's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, we're here to help feel that gap in for you. The main story was about Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. And no, that wasn't the desktop equivalent of accidentally pocket-tweeting, nor did I suddenly have a muscle spasm when typing. That's the president of Turkmenistan.
This is a weird story -- and that's as much John Oliver's words as mine. It's not particularly substantive, and it's pretty light-hearted, which is quite an achievement given that this fellow is a despot, and Turkmenistan has been called the "worst place to live in the world" -- which is quite an achievement on its own.
Anyway, yes, it's weird, but there's it's amusing and has one of those fine Last Week Tonight twists, as well.
