Jon Stewart lacerates hand on air, for the second time.

More blood for the blood god.
Seriously though that's a genuine problem
- Old Testament God.

Ya gotta respect his bit commit
- Yeah, he did the whole show and that thing was pouring blood during the interview.

His old electrician is correct. Paper towel wrapped around the wound, wrap it with one layer of duct tape or gaffers tape and you're good to keep working. This is one of those 'everybody who's ever worked a trade knows it' type things.
- Super glue is my go to. Just glue that shit right back closed like it never happened. Then some tape to make sure it stays closed through the day.
  
  I believe that was one of its first proposed uses, but is too brittle (or breaks down too quick?) to be a "proper" medical solution.
  
  I think you have to be very careful with that. My dog got a bad laceration one time, and luckily we were able to provide pressure and bring them straight to the vet which was close by, and while I was there I mentioned that I had thought about using super glue to close it, and they were mortified. Mortified. They said it would have made him extremely sick.
  Apparently the glue they used to close wounds, which acts like super glue is very different than actual super glue.
- For anyone else coming along, hydrocolloid bandages once you have a moment to treat it.
  Sliced my finger open, brand new razor blade, like a yawning mouth. Staunched the bleeding, wrapped a hydrocolloid bandage around it, bloody and dirty and all, good to go. Let it set for 2 days until the pain calmed down enough to re-wrap, showered, another hydrocolloid bandage. No antibiotics, nothing. 4-days, brand new skin, finger bends, no scar. And I'm 54, not exactly Wolverine.
  I could sell those things all day long, best first-aid tech I've discovered. Nothing will heal a wound faster.
  Yes, they cost way more than a regular bandaid, but you only need one, and you're healed fast. Generic is fine, but as usual, BandAid™ brand works best, better glue and easier to apply. I mostly keep the cheap shit, some BandAid™ for the 'special' wounds.
  Superglue for paper-cut wounds! Yes, it stings for 20-seconds, grow a fucking pair, then it's over and healed in 24-hours.
  
  Is this a ad?
- Let it bleed for a while and clean itself out first though. Then some shop towel and electrical tape.
- Also anyone who grew up poor. Ain't no bandaids in the house but there's tp and electrical tape.

I don't usually watch late night American shows but can never skip this dudes rant clips. I wonder if he thinks of having a stab at politics or maybe his mission is just better serves as a show host.
- The one time he got directly involved in politics, he berated Congress into covering medical expenses for 9/11 first responders. I doubt he wants to serve as an actual politician though.
  
  Homes that's not a one-time thing. He's been fighting for that for years and still does.
  He has said he has no interest or qualification for politics, that his role is as a comedian.
  I think he's wrong. He is very qualified, as is Al Franken.
  
  Something Musk cut again. I'm amazed how despite doing stuff like that Republicans keep getting elected. Seems like an easy attack ad to cut.
- I actually have this shirt. I think he would be really good for US politics, but I can respect that he also doesn't want to be involved (outside of his 9/11 activism, of course).

Wish he had just kept going and bled out on the desk to drive the point harder. Figured there were "rules" against showing blood on the broadcast. Heaven for fuckin' fend we see blood when raging against our fucked health care system. One CEO wasn't enough.

Acting has always demanded more than sweat and tears

when was the first time?
- Watch the video, they show the first time - a clip from way back when John Oliver was a contributor.
- The video is two minutes. You could’ve already had that answer.
