Apparently, they’ve been having a lot of trouble with kids coveting their neighbor’s oxen (Tickle Me Heatstroke)

In other news, the governor of Louisiana signed a law this week requiring the Ten Commandments be posted in every public school classroom in the state, which is a brazen attack on the American idea of separation of church and state. Maybe they should also post the constitution in the Louisiana governor’s office so he can give it a read every once in a while. —Jimmy Kimmel

Thursday marked the longest day of the year and the official start of summer, which of course raises the question: what the hell has the past week been, if not summer?! It’s so hot in New York, the tourists in Times Square are lining up to have their photo taken with Tickle Me Heatstroke. —Stephen Colbert

“Louisiana yesterday became the first state to require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Apparently, they’ve been having a lot of trouble with kids coveting their neighbor’s oxen.” — Seth Meyers

Thou shall not be a [expletive] (Three Little Words)

February 2021

Staying loyal to Donald Trump after he sent a mob to kill you? Man, that shows how committed Mike Pence is to his principles: he won’t even abort a friendship.” —Trevor Noah

“I guess at this point, there’s nothing Trump can do to Pence that would make Pence turn on him. They basically have the same relationship that we have with our Alexa: ‘Ugh, Alexa, I hate you. I wish you would die!’ [imitating Alexa] ‘I’m sorry you feel that way. Is there anything I can help you with?’” —Trevor Noah

“And I don’t know where the line is between forgiving and being a doormat, but Mike Pence crossed it a long time ago. I mean, yeah, the Bible says to turn the other cheek, but at the same time, one of the Ten Commandments is ‘Thou shall not be a [expletive].’” —Trevor Noah

“You know what would be fun? If I were Donald Trump, I’d announce that I need a kidney, and I’d make all of these guys — Lindsey Graham, Rudy, Mike Pence — I’d make them all give me one kidney to choose which one I like best.” —Jimmy Kimmel

what the hell am I going to do with a two ton monument of the Ten Commandments? (new spokesperson for the Target stores)

Saturday night Tupac Shakur was leaving the Bruce Seldon and Mike Tyson fight  in Las Vegas and he was shot four times. Even though he was shot four times, he’s OK. That means he actually survived more rounds than Seldon. --David Letterman 9/10/1996

This is the second time that Tupac Shakur has been shot in the last eighteen months. It does have a silver lining though, because earlier today Tupac was named as the new spokesperson for the Target stores. --David Letterman 9/10/1996

Do you ever have buyer’s remorse? I woke up this morning and wondered what the hell am I going to do with a two ton monument of the Ten Commandments? --David Letterman 8/28/2003

I blame George Bush. He lowered the standard (other people's money)

"Donald Trump running for president. I blame George Bush. He lowered the standard." --David Letterman

"You know what I thought was interesting? While the president was speaking last night, they had an online translation of the speech in Arabic, Vietnamese, Mandarin Chinese, Farsi and Spanish. So, I guess President Bush really is trying to reach out to the people of California." --Jay Leno

 "Faith is playing a big part in this year's election. You have  Huckabee, the evangelical guy. See, these fellas get a lot of people concerned about the separation of church and state. Do you know how that came about? Anybody know? See, the separation of church and state was made very clear by our founding fathers. See, what they did is they looked at the Ten Commandments. 'Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not bear false witness. Thou shall not commit adultery.' Then they looked at Congress and realized these two could never come together, we have to separate them." --Jay Leno
