John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant

It used to be that you could relax at the end of a tiring day with late night talk show hosts. Now this too has been absorbed by the belligerent left, so that the shows leave you more wound up than ever by grinding moonbattery in your face. Honest laughter has been replaced by a Two Minute Hate format targeted at normal people. Finally, there is some pushback against the sneering liberal comedians propagandists who clog up the TV at night. Danbury, Connecticut will soon feature the John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant.

Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton decided to rename the plant in honor of John Oliver after the comedian dragged the town during a segment on his show last week about how computer algorithms in several states, including Connecticut, allegedly exclude black and Hispanic people from jury candidacy at a disproportionate rate.

Boughton made the announcement in a Facebook video Saturday in which he argued the new name is fitting because both the sewer plant and Oliver are “full of crap.”

Oliver’s main problem with Danbury appears to be that it is a decent place. He screeched:

“If you are going to forget a town in Connecticut, why not forget Danbury, because, and this is true, f*** Danbury! From its charming railway museum to its historic hearthstone castle, Danbury, Connecticut can eat my whole ass. … [I]f you’re from there, you have a standing invite to come get a thrashing from John Oliver, children included, f*** you.”

That is what passes for humor now.

Oliver is better at dishing out abuse than taking it. After news of the sewer plant broke, he denounced the town with renewed bitterness:

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, f*** Danbury. Babies. Elderly. Pets. Buildings. All of you can go f*** yourselves.”

Considering the language Oliver employs in an attempt to seem edgy, the sewage plant is especially appropriate.

Earlier, Oliver ridiculed a promotional video encouraging Amazon to invest in the area. The campaign turned out to be successful. Danbury ought to do another promotional video to attract tourists. It can pitch itself as the town John Oliver hates. That definitely enhances its appeal.
