The Colbert Report

Cobert, Commenting on his name:
It's FRENCH, bitch!

Daily Show spin-off "The Colbert Report" branches out successfully with the Daily Show format. Instead of fake news, Colbert offfers fake commentary.

It's quite good.

While Stewart does a stand-up routine (sitting down) as himself, Colbert plays a mostly right-wing character.

Nuf Ced - you like Stewart, you'll probably like Colbert.

And, in that, you can find "truthiness".

Prepare for a "Menage-a-Truth".

Can't We Alll Just Get Along?

Iranian President Ahmadinejad has now joined the elite group of intellectual giants known as "Holocaust Deniers". This is a logical step for someone who a few months back stated that Isreal should be "wiped off the map". Not that post-Shah Iran has generally been known for tolerance or anything else that once made Islam a great culture, but they are moving in the wrong direction.

I don't pretend to understand the nuances of Middle Eastern politics, but statements like this from a powerful Islamic nation, are going to help make things better about as much as, oh I don't know, invading Iraq, maybe?

Islamic nations clog up the UN with motions against Isreali human rights violations, as if they weren't every bit as guilty of such violations themselves. Islam and Women's rights just walk side by side with each other, don't they (ok, the women must walk 50 paces behind, spoke when spoken to..).

If only it were possbile to bitch-slap nations into behaving....ok maybe some strong words instead.
