• Jon Stewart, Secular Jew

  A long, long time ago (July aught-six), on a blog called DCeiver — run by a person now reporting for the Huffington Post — Jason Linkins wrote that he was the “only one who got Stephen Colbert’s best joke” that evening… “Wow. Bill Donoghue really opened my eyes. I had no idea that secular Jews [...]

• Colbert on McCain (circa 2006)

  Stephen Colbert took on McCain’s “maverick” status during his roast of Bush at the now-infamous White House Correspondent’s Dinner two years ago… John McCain is here. John McCain, John McCain, what a maverick! Somebody find out what fork he used on his salad, because I guarantee you it wasn’t a salad fork. This guy could [...]

  Maybe once a week. – Your tax dollars at work. FEMA is doing their own reporting. – The Senate and House are looking to extend a mindless moratorium on internet access taxes. People with high-speed connections are expected to rejoice, knowing they will not have to pay an additional dollar or two on their bill. [...]

• Pee-wee Herman, Meet Stephen Colbert

  Stephen Colbert — the actor, not the character portrayed by Stephen Colbert, the actor — is on the verge of Pee-wee Herman status. As in the case of Pee-wee Herman, a talented actor (in Pee-wee’s case, Paul Reubens) is stuck with the perpetual role of one character, playing that role on his own television show, [...]

• Colbert: Jesus Libby

  Stephen Colbert provides us with the most apt comparison: Libby is just like Jesus…

  All my questions from yesterday have* been answered… – Today, Apple “unveiled a new mobile phone that downloads and plays music as well as a set-top box that allows people to stream video from their computers to their televisions.“ – The U.S. is still bogged down in Iraq, but the democrats will apparently take on [...]

• Colbert: “Everybody’s High”

  Stephen Colbert, playing the role of fake conservative newsman/blowhard Stephen Colbert, had this warning last night as the election returns revealed a victory in the House for the democrats… “Tomorrow you’re all going to wake up in a brave new world – a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones [...]

• In the News

  - Yea, a few years ago at Syracuse, when our class was to meet in the computer lab for a lecture or two, we students knew we would learn nothing, as all we would do is surf the web. Does this surprise anyone? It is a good move for schools to ban internet access during [...]

  - Bill Clinton lives on… “The nation’s largest beverage distributors have agreed to halt nearly all soda sales to public schools. The companies have agreed to sell only water, unsweetened juice and low-fat milks.“ – A right (?) direction in Mexico: “Under the federal law, police will not criminally prosecute people or hand out jail [...]

• Colbert, In Full

  By popular demand, the full Colbert roast of Bush at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. “I call it the ‘no-fact zone.’ Fox News, I hold a copyright on that term.” (Or, YouTube at its best.)

• Colbert Roasts Bush…

  Bush didn’t find this so funny… (And TayTV at its best.)

  I try not to do this often… …but this one is worth it. Colbert Lampoons Bush at White House Correspondents Dinner– President Does Not Seem Amused WASHINGTON A blistering comedy “tribute” to President Bush by Comedy Central’s faux talk show host Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondent Dinner Saturday night left George and Laura [...]

• Bush’s Right Or Duty

  I am not a fan of the Colbert Report on Comedy Central; although I have been a longtime avid viewer of the Daily Show, I feel that Colbert’s O’Reilly-esque act should be limited to three minutes or less. However, earlier this week, Colbert’s satire led to an excellent point while faux-interviewing Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein. [...]
