When Jon Stewart left the air, Mad Dog thought it was the last gasp of liberal persuasion in America.
Lately, however, he has been binge watching Bill Maher and he realizes, maybe there's hope.
He has done at least two shows on "safe spaces" on college campuses, where the delicate flowers at Middlebury College, Yale and other erstwhile pillars of American elite grooming institutions can seek refuge from upsetting thoughts in places where they do not have to hear racist invective, Donald Trump, neo Nazis, Steve Bannon, Huckabee, Rush Limbaugh or anyone else who is obnoxious, with whom they vehemently disagree.
Of course, there is, as Barney Frank says, so much wrong with the idea of shutting down debate and discussion on a college campus, it's hard to know where to begin, but this idea that we are so right and righteous and sanctimonious we should not even hear the other side has become a religion of the left.
Watch this. It's lovely.

Moving from one Maher Real Time show to the next, Michael Moore came on and said what Mad Dog has been saying: Donald Trump will win re election. You'll recall, Moore predicted months before the last election Trump would win.
"Market Place," the NPR business program, interviewed workers on the assembly line at Harley Davidson motorcycles in Wisconsin, who said even though Trump's tariffs will likely mean Harley will move some production to Europe and Thailand, they are still 100% behind Trump. They love the guy.
Talk about something you want to run away to a safe room to not hear.
Moore is apoplectic about the prospect of a Trump supreme court, but so far, apart from Terence O'Rourke, nobody is talking about packing it.
Mad Dog hates the idea of safe rooms. You have to love the fight. You have to take pleasure in sticking your nose in the face of the thugs and daring them to throw a punch.
But, it is bracing sometimes, to simply luxuriate in listening to people who think like you do, maybe even who think beyond, and better than you do.
Bill Maher is not a bad place to start.
He hates kids, and maybe dogs: How bad could be be?
