Patton Oswalt Recruited For New MST3K Cast (cnet.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Joel Hodgson has announced that actor and comedian Patton Oswalt will join the MST3K cast as "TV's Son of TV's Frank". "I first became aware of Patton around fourteen years ago, when he was doing commentary for the MTV Awards — live in the room during the event!" Hodgson wrote on the Kickstarter page. "I realized right away he was a kindred spirit, and damn funny too," Hodgson added. "Since then, obviously, he's bloomed into this amazing comedy/Internet dynamo. I've seen a lot of stand-ups over the years, but Patton really is one of the best ever. And just as important, he's a very fun, articulate and witty soul — just the kind of person who we've always tried to bring onboard for MST3K." Comedian Jonah Ray and actor Felicia Day are also on board for the potentially record breaking relaunch.

Re:Patton and Trump are kindred spirits

Quite frankly, I agree with Patton on this one; you have to tolerate bullshit, but you don't have to respect it.

SJW's don't really seem to understand this distinction, hence their frequent misusage of the word "intolerant" to describe tolerant people who don't respect SJW believes and values.

Also; just because somebody agrees on one particular point doesn't necessarily mean they agree on everything else.
