The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, Bugleers and welcome to issue 46 of the world's greatest and only audio newspaper

for a visual world. For the weekend in Monday, the 29th of September, 2008, with me,

Addy Zotsman in London, and in New York City, it's Emmy Award loser, John Oliver.

Hello, Bugleers and f*** you, Addy. Have you recovered from the shame yet, John?

No, that shame lives with you, Addy. That's a stench that sings.

When you fly next into Britain, I do hope you're met by an angry mob at Heathrow Airport

pelting you with tomatoes.

Yeah, you let us down. I did indeed go to the Emmy, which were, as I expected, and I believe

it was, I may have even said, a three hour exercise in self-satisfaction with smugness.

Even Oprah Andy, even Oprah let herself down. She's essentially queen of the United States.

Pretty much the queen of hearts as well. She inherited that title from Diana, who gave

it to her on her deathbed. The point is, even Oprah in an opening speech, which in hindsight

was very much like the opening speech delivered on that Titanic, so it's been a difficult

year for television and also a difficult year for the world. Not in that order, Oprah. Not

in that order. And this is the first time in what a long time that it did London, New

York, combination has been back together. This is like, it could be over a month.

It's like retro. Yeah, because I was in Edinburgh, so it might be July that was the last

moment. Look at that. Yeah. Wow. God, just feels right. It just feels right. It feels

just right. We're both where we belong. You are no longer welcome in this country.

As always, some sections of the Google are going straight in the bin. This week, a home
