Who's the real moron, Larry?

Larry Wilmore had fun Wednesday night with reports about a North Carolina town that rejected solar panels because they "suck up all the energy from the sun."

No, it didn't. One person pointed out that some vegetation close to solar panels dies. (Which seems reasonable to me; they heat up the air around themselves. Anybody ever torture and murder ants with a sunbeam through glass?)

Woodland Town Clerk Kim Bryant pointed out to techtimes.com that the town, population 750, already has three solar farms. Reason for the vote against changing zoning to permit No. 4: The new farm would mean the town would be surrounded by solar farms.

North Carolina is No. 2 in solar energy production in the United States; California is No. 1 and Nevada No. 3.

Larry, don't let your staff run with an idea without checking more than one online source, please.

 As long as we're in the neighborhood of Comedy Central late-night, Trevor Noah had fun last week, multiple times, with a segment, "Donald Trump wants to bang his daughter."

A clip from an interview showed Trump saying that if he were not married, he'd like to date his daughter.

Trevor, bang and date are different activities. Trump's comments about his daughter are still skin-crawlingly creepy, though.
