John Oliver's deep dive into 'rocks' is far more interesting than it sounds

John Oliver starts his latest web exclusive for Last Week Tonight promising us rocks (not just any rocks, either, but "specific rocks"), before explaining that he'll need to "ramp up" to it by first talking about furries and Georgia politician (and recent loser in the race for governor) Kandiss Taylor.

It sounds like a lot, and it is, but as usual Oliver weaves some seamless storytelling, starting with Taylor's ridiculous campaign promise to ban furries from schools before ending with her equally ridiculous campaign promise to demolish the Georgia Guidestones because they're part of a "Luciferian Cabal" or something.

As always, local U.S. politics proves to be a fascinating and disturbing place.
