Weird because I was pretty sure that you said you liked his show on the FB several months back. I guess I don't have a paigowesque recall. Must be the x.


ETA: Uh, this was the post I was thinking of. So are you ready to admit that you know who Colbert is (though you never claimed to watch the show - that was my inference from your post, I guess)? "Ping pow!

Hmmm.

Better question (to me, I guess), is why I actually bothered to pretend in a post way back in May of 2006 that I knew the guy, when clearly I didn't.

I know who he is.

But I'm doing a spectacular job of wasting my life. So much so I'm often wasting time that should be more effectively wasted.

It's getting to the point where I sometimes think, "Nah, the hell with it... I'll get around to masturbating tomorrow."

He was part of Stewart's brilliant supporting cast, which apparently you knew.

liar, liar, pants on fire.

Well? Have you gotten back to yourself on this?

Yes, actually.

I think I had him confused at the time with Mo Rocca.

Mo Rocca's the Jimmy Fallon of the Daily Show alumnae.

Did anyone see when Colbert had O'Reilly on his show (well he was brought in through video)? At one point I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe.

He and Stewart are just not human. They are just too quick with the comeback. It’s like their minds just run faster or something.

I just read Tim Weiner's History of the CIA "Legacy of Ashes". It was an interesting read but man is Weiner an arrogant prick. There is not a single person in the book he doesn't make completely look incompetent except maybe George H.W. Bush.

He makes Carter and Clinton both look like total idiots. I don't think I agreed with one thing Carter did, and I disagreed with much of what Clinton did, but you can't call these two men stupid. He also tried to make Nixon and Kissinger sound like they knew nothing about foreign policy.

If he knows so much why doesn't he run the agency? It is just too easy to be an arm chair quarterback and second guess everything the team does.

I don't read the NYT but is he always this critical and arrogant? But if you can put up with his arrogant criticisms and condescending attitude the history part of it is pretty interesting. The guy definitely did his research and has a lot of information that has just recently come to light about all sorts of stuff like the Bay of Pigs, the Kennedy Assassination and Iran-Contra.

Beth Littleford is the show's Eva silverstein.

So Ron Paul's got a splashy little profile in Time.

His electoral prospects may not be too bright:

• "His supporters are the equivalent of crabgrass," says GOP consultant Frank Luntz. "It's not the grass you want, and it spreads faster than the real stuff. They just like him because he's the most anti-Establishment of all the candidates, the most likely to look at the camera during the debates and say, 'Hey, Washington, f____ you.'"

But, man -- look at his impact on popular culture!

• The libertarian's traction is most apparent on the Internet, where his presence far outstrips that of any candidate from either party. His name is the most searched, his YouTube videos the most watched, his campaign the topic of songs by at least 14 bands. "The last thing I would listen to is rap," Paul says. "But there's something going on when there's a rap song about the Fed." On Tuesday, both Paul and Tom Cruise were guests on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The actor went to Paul's dressing room to thank him for his work on a bill fighting the forced mental screening of grade-school kids. "Go. Go. Go. Go hard," Cruise said. Paul turned to an aide and asked, "What movies has he been in?"

I love this country.

Hasn't this election happened by now? Surely to fuck they can't expect me to sustain an interest in this whole sad and sorry show for this long, can they?

"Hey Luntz, f____ you. Hillary's the best GOP candidate right now."

Is it my imagination or is Bush's creepy little whining getting worse:

If I can have my AG, no one can have an AG

I generally object to dressing up pets for any purpose. But, you gotta admire the Vice President going with a familial theme when he dressed up his dogs for Halloween this year.



I think that dog just told me to fuck off.

At some point I will turn all earnest about it, but for now I am jaded.
