Unfortunately for my dear Stephen, he is now third in the list. Rain is no longer number one, and take a guess on who’s leading now. Who else but the guy who invented the Legends of Zelda. Yeah, I don’t know nor plan to remember his name. I was just amazed how he managed to [...]

Even when he pokes fun at sacred things, he has a way of making it funny enough not to get offended.While a guest on "Larry King Live," TV news funny guy Stephen Colbert invited Pope Benedict XVI to appear on his show on Comedy Central during the holy father's visit to New York City later this week, saying he could use the forum to baptize a child."We have an unbaptized baby for him to baptize on the show if he wants to stop by," Colbert said. "And all I've said is that if he does not stop by and baptize the baby, I will make sure that child is a Protestant. OK? I will do it. Don't push me."When asked if everyone at Yankee Stadium would receive communion during the papal Mass, Colbert again joked."Yes, they're going to use a T-shirt cannon to fire communion into the stands," Colbert said,
I don't know......I mean we all want change. Of course. Why else hold elections? But Colbert seems to present too great a change. If he were elected President, what might happen? Would other nations not take us as seriously? Would his ability to defend this country come into question? Would it embolden certain parties that should not be emboldened?I think it might.
-Day 44. Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.- Author UnknownSo... There's this chick that completely hooked me on Stephen Colbert. He's now on my "list of 5 men" and all because of his sense of humor. Is it weird that I keep changing my 5? I guess it's fine as long as it's not laminated. Please click on this video where he interviews Philip Zimbardo regarding his book "The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil". Watch the faces he makes very carefully.A quote from him on this video "I teach Sunday school Mother F*cker!"I love him.

I was with the WGA on this strike, that is until NBC ran out of episodes of The Office and I realized how empty my 11 P.M. to 12 A.M.'s truly are without Jon and Stephen presenting the news to me. I understand what the WGA is going for but enough is enough, non-violent protest can only accomplish so much before more ex...just kidding.Both shows will be returning without their writing staff so the question of quality has to be raised. However, Stewart and Colbert already served as writers on their respective shows and new shows that are just ok will be better than no new shows at all. Also, the return of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, both WGA members themselves, may motivate the WGA to end this strike sooner rather than later. When asked if they would have preferred to come back on the air with their writing staff on board Stewart and Colbert responded "If we cannot, we would like to express our ambivalence, but without our writers we are unable to express something as nuanced
While most American television shows are off the air due to the writers’ strike and to avoid wasting new episodes during the holidays, the UK gets to see a new episode of Doctor Who once again on Christmas Day. Hopefully those secular Europeans will be spending the day making Voyage of the Damned available by bit torrent for us Americans as opposed to spending the holiday in all those empty European cathedrals. For now we have the trailer (above) along with some other goodies. The clip below from Newsround has more scenes, a bit of the new theme music, comments on the rumors that David Tennant is leaving the show, and perhaps a spoiler about Billie Piper’s return next season:
Late in the interview, David Tennant is asked about filming with Billie Piper. He answers, “I haven’t done a single scene with Billie. When you see the story that will all make sense.” As Billie Piper’s character Rose was last seen trapped in another dimension, I wonder if t
Colbert chosen AP Celebrity of the YearWhile most TV characters remain boxed inside the frames of our sets, Stephen Colbert has routinely injected his on-screen persona into everything from the presidential race to ice cream.In 2007, the mock pundit on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" exceeded the influence of most real pundits, orchestrating an ill-fated (and Doritos-sponsored) run for president and topping the best-seller lists with his book "I Am America (And So Can You!)."Colbert failed to get onto the primary ballot in his home state of South Carolina, dooming his hopes for the White House. And his show went 0-for-4 at the Emmy Awards, including an especially painful loss to Tony Bennett.But Colbert did win one honor: He was voted AP Celebrity of the Year by newspaper editors and broadcast producers who said Colbert had the biggest impact on pop culture in 2007.He finished just a nudge above J.K. Rowling, who authored the final book in her enormously popular "Harry Potter" s

Really… I should say ‘Colbert run afoul of the Democrats’ or even more accurately ‘The Democrats run afoul of themselves’.
However, after about 40 minutes of discussion by top party officials, the executive council voted 13-3 to keep the host of “The Colbert Report” off the ballot.
“He’s really trying to use South Carolina Democrats as suckers so he can further a comedy routine,” said Waring Howe, a member of the executive council. And Colbert “serves to detract from the serious candidates on the ballot.”
Stephen Colbert Barred from Ballot by South Carolina Democrats
This little effort by the Democratic Party says to me nothing better that “self-righteous, stuffy, good old boy network politics as usual and by the way we are senile, nut-less, non-leaders.” The party could have scored a lot– a lot– of points on a lot of different levels by accepting Colbert’s application. Instead they
As a resident of Atlanta and a big Stephen Colbert fan, I feel a little conflicted here:
Look out Georgia.
Stephen Colbert brought his fanciful presidential campaign to the campus of the University of South Carolina on Sunday, telling several hundred sign-waving fans that he’ll take care of the rival state to the south.
“I promise, if elected, I will crush the state of Georgia,” the 43-year-old actor-comedian said to the cheering crowd.
He also went on to compare the fruit offerings of both states:

A random facebook group (1,000,000 Strong for Stephen T Colbert) was started by 16 year old Raj Vachhani and surpassed it’s goal of 1 million in 8 days.

Are we about to evidence a sea change in politics? Political humor and political reality have come full circle. And the joke is on us!! Yee...pp. Not to mention those dreaded "smoke filled rooms" and of course, those endless primaries. At a time when many people report getting the news from Comedy Central rather than CNN, Fox or the broadcast networks, the role of humor in politics is ripe for reappraisal. And here comes........ Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central-- comedian, satirist, actor and writer who has just announced his intentions to seek the presidency. From South Carolina, this favorite son hopes to take advantage in his home state by running on both the Democratic and Republican ticket. I understand he has already signed the nominating forms. But is this for real?Colbert known for his ironic style and particularly his portrayal of the "dumb/uninformed politician wants to show us how he plans to 'cut the mustard'. Call it what you will, there is a shift occurring in the poli
That's right! Comedian Stephen Colbert recently beat out space cadet Dennis Kucinich in a poll of Democratic candidates ahead of the primary. In the poll, Colbert took 2.3 percent, good for 5th place behind Clinton, Obama, Edwards and Biden, but more noticeably ahead of Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson and Mike Gravel, with 2.1%, 2.1% and less than 1%, respectively. It just goes to show what I've thought all along... Even a comedian is a more serious candidate for president than Dennis Kucinich!
The death toll for the bombing in Pakistan yesterday now stands at 134.

Last night, Stephen Colbert appeared on The Daily Show and announced he would be making a statement on whether or not he was considering running for president. Stephen chose to hold his announcement for a more prestigious show however, that aired about 15 minutes after Stephen dropped this first bombshell. Months upon months of buildup and speculation have created a fever pitch surrounding Stephen Colbert's possible candidacy. And on last night's Colbert Report, Stephen finally announced he was running for president of the United States.So far, Stephen has officially only said he will be campaigning in South Carolina, which certainly must mean Clinton and Obama are breathing sighs of relief. Stephen is running as a democrat and as a republican, further blurring the lines between indecisive parties. Man of the Year anyone? And yes, however any of this turns out, certainly has to be better than that stinker of a movie.I eagerly await the South Carolina primary, assuming Stephen a

We need a man who is serious, serious enough to think that his opinion is the only opinion that counts.And he knows it.I'm gonna love to see how far he takes this, lol.Yahoo: Link!

This is madness. (This IS THE UNITED STATES!) Ahem. Three small US telephone companies (AT&T, Qwest and Verizon) are refusing to answer Congress’ questions to them about the what Bush and his administration received from them. Apparently the Director of National Intelligence invoked state secrets privilege. That seems to me like a governmental way of calling no talksies.
“Our company essentially finds itself caught in the middle of an oversight dispute between the Congress and the executive relating to government surveillance activities,” AT&T Inc. General Counsel Wayne Watts said in a letter to the House Energy and Commerce Committee

Stephen Colbert today writes more than half of Maureen Dowd's column in the NY Times. We like it, it's funny and it's sarcastic. The DemGaz will be mighty happy they publicly banished Dowd years ago from the Op-Ed section. Instead they have the talent of Mike Masterson and a couple of nitwits from Jonesboro who we won't even name here (though we have named them in the past.)
Colbert talks about the talk about his possible run for the White House.
Hey, Reagan and GW Bush both won, so why not? It's not impossible...after all, Dobson and his lunatics say they're looking for a third party candidate, maybe they've found their man?
Our nation is at a Fork in the Road. Some say we should go Left; some say go Right. I say, “Doesn’t this thing have a reverse gear?” Let’s back this country up to a time before there were forks in the road — or even roads. Or forks, for that matter.

This article revealed that Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central's "Colbert Report" wants to run for the office of President as both a Democrat and a Republican.In his native state of South Carolina, Mr. Colbert can kick of his campaign using media outlet ETV to garner support from fellow citizens of SC. He is gracious enough to allow the public to determine which party he truly belongs in. As a returned favor to Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who previously mentioned he'd like Colbert to be his Vice President, Colbert has decided that Mr. Huckabee can be his VP, if and when he is elected.For those of you who read my recent post about Why America Will Never Vote In A Comedian President, you already know my thoughts on the idea of electing someone on the basis of their TV or movie persona. However, Mr. Colbert insinuated that his persona isn't necessarily the one that's running for President. Saying that he's really two people who go by the same name, it's possible that if Ameri
Allison Silverman, a former iO Theater and Boom Chicago comedy favorite, has been named the executive producer of Stephen Colbert’s “The Colbert Report” on Comedy Central, according to a Sept. 26 report by Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times.“Allison is a rare combination of funny, kind and intelligent. Unfortunately, in her new job, two of those have to go,” Colbert jested in his announcement of Silverman’s new gig. In other Zwecker news and for additional coverage of Chicago indie thriller “Root of All Evil,” Sean Bean from “The Lord of the Rings” recently drank it up with cast and crew at Rockit in Chicago to wrap up filming. Zwecker also touched on the Chicago connection surrounding the controversy with the film adaptation of Khaled Hosseini’s novel “The Kite Runner”. The film version will open this year’s Chicago International Film Festival on Oct. 4. Finally, Zwecker says Chicago’s Bernie Mac is banding together with Samuel L. Jackson in the film

YouTube, facing legal threats from several media companies, has requested that comedians Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert act as witnesses in the popular video site's defense against claims that it illegally shows snippets of sports and entertainment videos. Viacom, owner of MTV, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central; The Football Association Premier League Ltd., England's top soccer league; and indie music publisher Bourne Co.
all maintain that YouTube is profiting from massive copyright infringement of television programs and feature films. In order to fight these legal challenges which "threaten to silence communications by hundreds of millions of people across the globe who exchange information, news and entertainment," YouTube claims it needs depositions from more than 30 people.
Although the video site did not state exactly what it wanted to gain from the statements of Colbert and Stewart, YouTube's defense is based on its claims that it goes over and beyond the cal
Story! Google is in one dilly of a pickle. A pickle we all knew was gonna be eaten at some point. They are being sued currently by several major publishers, Viacom International Inc., the Football Association Premier League Ltd., and Indie Label Bourne Co. But they are looking for some celebrit-aid.They are hoping to get over 30 people to help fight the lawsuits that "threaten to silence communications by hundreds of millions of people across the globe who exchange information, news and entertainment."Of these, of course, are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. The kings of political comedy are very much ok with the YouTube branding of their shows, and YouTube is hoping to gain a good defense case that they fall within the realms of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act with their support.I think Viacom is just a big hypocrite. They posted copyrighted material on their internet video site, iFilm. And there's one rule with the internet:Don't Fcuk With Google.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Keary Colbert, who caught just five passes for 56 yards in 2006 and was inactive for four games late in the season due to his lack of productivity, has moved past Drew Carter on the depth chart at training camp and is working with the first-team offense alongside Steve Smith in practice. Reported by Steve Reed, Carolina Growl
<<<Hotwire>>>
Wow. Things change fast around here. Its still early, so we’ll have to keep an eye to see how this plays out. Obviously, the Panthers would like for second-round draft pick Dwayne Jarrett to step up and assume that role. Jarrett, however, is still learning the offense and suffered a setback on Wednesday when he tweaked his hamstring. It’s considered minor and he’s listed as day-to-day.
I recently linked to a news story that told of Colleges charging more for some majors.Should an undergraduate studying business pay more than one studying psychology? Should a journalism degree cost more than one in literature? More and more public universities, confronting rising costs and lagging state support, have decided the answers may be yes and yes.Now comes the definitive answer - courtesy of Stephen Colbert.
Keary Colbert and Drew Carter have been splitting the reps with the starters so far, with Dwayne Jarrett lagging a bit behind. They’ve also got an interesting group of guys behind them, so the extra reps will help bring the picture into focus. Reported by Darin Gantt, Rock Hill Herald
<<<Hotwire>>>
With Keyshawn Johnson out of the way, someone has to catch the ball opposite of Steve Smith. I believe that Drew Carter wins the #2 job and can be had very late in drafts. Thats great value for your 5th or 6th receiver.
Average draft position as of July 31st:
Overall: O.Daniels (173), Drew Carter (174), M.Jenkins (175)
Position: A.Toomer (WR60), Drew Carter (WR61), M.Jenkins (WR62)

Stephen Colbert broke his left wrist on set of "The Colbert Report" on Thursday while running around the New York studio before taping a new episode. Outch!... Colbert removed a large "No. 1" foam hand to unmask a small cast on air. "I didn't want to draw attention to it. I didn't want to play on your sympathy," Colbert said before dramatically grimacing.
Colbert, Georgia in Madison County was the place to be at 9am this 4th of July! Over 10,000 people were expected to be at the 4th of July parade and festival and I think at least that many showed up! The parade time was moved from 10am to 9am this year due to the heat and everyone got the word. Highway 72, East was closed for the duration of the parade through Colbert as everyone lined the streets to see classic cars, septic tank trucks, horses and more! The parade was huge this year!
Colbert, GA Mayor, John Waggoner, says volunteers to coordinate this festival are getting harder to find so we hope folks keep stepping up as this is a local favorite!
The craft festival was fantastic, as always and featured plenty of pocket books, handmade clay and wood flowers, jewelry, and many more unique items. Food vendors were on hand with the requisite BBQ, Homemade Lemonade, Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Corndogs and even Thai Food this year!

The Han Solo of Comedic Political Commentary Stephen Colbert is most definitely a Nerd . After the release of the recent gift from god the Iphone, Mr. Colbert himself enjoys his newest acquisition. In his latest segment “March to Enslavement,” which is not that far off IMO, he talks about his predictions where we will bow to the robots that we eagerly create. To be frank we have reached the precipice of significantly huge technological advances, and as a society we are embracing these advances with the fervor of religion. We will see the day that we worship Machines… wait too late. Peep the Man after the jump (more…)

In his column today Colbert King makes fun of the fact that Victor Reinoso admitted copying his education plan from a school district in North Carolina, said he accepted full responsibility for what he did, yet still remains in his job. If this is how he feels then why didn't he say that in the Post editorial which he almost certainly wrote? I don't get it.
As many of you know, a few months ago Google reported an update to their algorithm designed to counter the phenomenon known as “Google bombing” or “link bombing”.
At the time there was a lot of debate around how this works and whether it was a genuine change to the algorithm - suggesting wider implications for link popularity and backlink profiles - or whether it was a manually implemented change.
At the time the change appeared to affect what is probably the most famous of Google bombs, George Bush’s bio ranking for “miserable failure” – however it didn’t affect the counter bomb, “great president” (probably because the page actually contains the term “president”).
Now the debate has come to the fore again.
Just a few weeks after Danny Sullivan hailed Stephen Colbert’s success at being considered the “Greatest Living American” by Google, it seems the Google-bomb-defusing algo has kicked in
By now you've probably seen the video of Stephen Colbert's parody video of Korean pop superstar Rain's "Way to Avoid the Sun" on the internet. In a nutshell, Stephen Colbert was peeved that Rain beat him out for the top spot as the "number one most influential" person in the world, as voted by readers. For those who haven't seen the video, watch Rain's video first...(thanks ZenKimchi for the link) then watch the Colbert clip:Here is Stephen Colbert all pimped out and singing in KOREAN! It's hilarious...my favorite part is the throwing of TIME magazine through the window:Obviously this has created a buzz in the Korean blogosphere. Check out reaction from netizens and Rain's reaction to the video. ZenKimchi gives a visual explanation of Colbert's token line to Rain, "I’m gonna be all over you like egg on a bowl of bibimbap!"

Why any Congressman would agree to go on the Colbert Report is beyond me. If Stephen's logical fallacies don't get you the video editing will. But recently John Yarmuth bravely (actually, you may want to insert your own adverb here) debated the relative merits of throwing kittens into woodchippers - Yarmuth arguing in the affirmative. “Well, you know, there are times when you have to find a way to dispose of kittens," Yarmuth stammered and blinked.Since Yarmuth's performance, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the Democratic Caucus chairman, has told new Democratic members of Congress to steer clear of Stephen Colbert where Rep. Zack Space (D-Ohio) recently spent time trying to explain to Colbert that he is not his predecessor - convicted felon Bob Ney (R).Yarmuth, it turns out, is a fan of the show. So, he knew what he was in for. His hour and a half interview was shot on February 9 and then was edited down to the most embarrassing six -minute segment.Go here to see the Colbert Repor
Threat-Down Generator. As part of the Colbert Report, the 'Threat-Down' lists the top five threats to American security in an effort to keep America on its toes. Now you can create your own 'Threat-Down.'[Threat-Down Generator]
I don't know if you have watched Comedy Central lately, but Stephen Colbert's "The Colbert Report" is a great program. You can get all of the latest news from the world and more often the political scene with a witty delivery. Stephen Colbert plays a far right talk show host who has an overpowering love for his country. This show is very entertaining and is also very capable of bringing up important issues. I highly recommend the Colbert Report because one, it brings up important issues and two, you will laugh your head off. Colbert is an excellent satirist who will be around for a long time to come.

I'm usually pretty embarrassed whenever our Prime Minister makes the news in the Northern Hemisphere, and his attack on Obama Barack is really doing the rounds here. Thank God we have people like Colbert to straighten him out.
Luckily, Obama himself isn't feeling particularly threatened by his words. This is what he had to say in response (via The Age):
US presidential hopeful Barack Obama this morning blasted as "empty rhetoric" Australian Prime Minister Howard's attack.
"I think it's flattering that one of George Bush's allies on the other side of the world started attacking me the day after I announced," Obama told reporters in the mid-western US state of Iowa.
"I would also note that we have close to 140,000 troops in Iraq, and my understanding is Mr Howard has deployed 1400, so if he is... to fight the good fight in Iraq, I would suggest that he calls up another 20,000 Australians and sends them to Iraq.
"Otherwise it's just a bunch of empty rhetoric."

This story has since been confirmed after Ben & Jerry's appeared on the Colbert Nation show on March 5, 2007 with the Americone Dream ice cream.Here is the original story with what where only rumors a month ago:According to a Colbert fan site, they got a scoop on the Ben and Jerry's carton design claiming it was leaked by a Whole Foods employee.Ben and Jerry's company spokesman Rob Michalak said: "I can neither confirm nor deny it. But I can say there's been a lot of experimentation with red, white and blue." The alleged design (shown here) cannot be confirmed. Any Photoshop pro could have put this together as a prank (and if it is a prank, great designer, huh?) because rumors have swirled on the Internet for months about a Colbert ice cream. Colbert has amassed a large fan base in the less than two years he has been on the air, and has even won a number of prestigious awards and recognitions. But most people know Colbert from John Stewart's Daily Show, where he was a corresponden
Stephen Colbert was issued a challenge by the mayor of a Canadian town, Oshawa, accepted and won.
Last night, Stephen Colbert’s favored hockey team, the Saginaw Spirit, defeated the Oshawa Generals, 5-4, and per the terms of their friendly wager, Oshawa Mayor John Gray will make his birthday, March 20, “Stephen Colbert Day” in Oshawa.
The ice was littered in Saginaw, Mich., last night. The first projectiles were loose pages of the General Motors annual report. They was followed by a flurry of teddy bears. One account told of a plastic fish being tossed.
The Generals are named after General Motors because their Canadian headquarters are in Oshawa.
Had he lost, Colbert would had to of worn a Oshawa Generals jersey on his show.
It’s a sad day in comedy on the Internet, as Comedy Central (A Viacom company) has ordered a DMCA takedown of their TV content from the popular video sharing website YouTube. This will leave dead YouTube links on thousands of blogs, possibly even my own ( I haven’t checked yet), and reduce the value of YouTube considerably. Google may find they spent about a $1Billion too much on YouTube, when they bought it a couple weeks ago for $1.4B.
YouTube is not dead (Only some user’s schticks will be). We’ll just have to look to Lonelygirl15 for political and social commentary instead. Yes I’m kidding about that.
LisaNova is pretty good at satire though.
I ran accross this clip on YouTube and I had to share it here. It is one of the craziest interviews I've ever seen on The Daily Show (and that is saying a lot). So watch the clip and meet the newest members of the Rebuplican party.
Colbert on CES, 108" flat screen TVs, tasers, and of course, the iPhone. Segway Polo Leagues, Steve Wozniak, and of course, his multi-coloured lasers.Colbert doesn't seem to be very pleased with it, until he gets it for free. And finally, NASA. The NASA stuff is very funny.
I swore I would not do it.Never in a million years.But it was too funny not to post.Colbert. O'Reilly.Can you dig it? For some strange reason, the Colbert Report episode does not have an embed code. So here are the links: part one and part two.Enjoy.technorati tags: Colbert, O'Reilly
