John Oliver on Americas inept nuclear arms policy

http://www.alternet.org/video/video-john-olivers-hilarious-and-terrifying-rant-about-americas-inept-nuclear-arms-policy

In last night's episode, the British-born funny man suggested Americans do worry more about the 4804 nuclear warheads we currently have stored in rather obsolete, insecure storage facilities in Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota, guarded by imbeciles. "We spend less time worrying about nuclear annihilation than we do about hitting 'Reply All' in an office e-mail," Oliver quipped.
He then chronicles the incredible recent history of jack-ass behavior on the part of those guarding these agents of total destruction. Cheating on tests, drunken episodes, gambling with fake poker, oops we left the door unlocked, dropping a warhead by accident in North Carolina—the near-misses and level of idiocy is staggering.
