Stephen Colbert has called in a Mexican immigrant to help him with his show during the WGA strike! Esteban Colberto interviews Lou Dobbs. I’m sure Cousin Lawrie will enjoy this one…

Stephen Colbert, A National Treasure
Stephen is having a tough time going it alone during the Writer’s Guild of America strike. Some WGA members are even calling him a scab. That’s cold. Anyway, I think this bit is the best of his first week back.

Bush’s Brain Stem Cell
I don’t often roam too far from blogging home, but this item came up on Google Desktop and I was so incensed by it I had to add a comment. It’s been seven years since Bush took office, yet somehow everything is still Clinton’s fault??
Be absolutely clear about one thing: I think George W. Bush is by far the worst President the United States has had in my lifetime. My father, a reformed Republican, says the same thing, and his lifetime goes back to Coolidge.
The Great Escape — Inside Tunnel Harry
Here’s something fascinating and cool that my sister Jean pointed out. It’s an interactive Flash animation from the NOVA TV show Web site, about the real-life Great Escape. I missed the program, which I can see was a mistake.
FOX NEWS Further Infuriates
Hot on the heels of Bill O’Reilly’s pitiful attempt to get to Barack Obama, as featured here, is this story about an outright lie reported as fact by Fox News. But how can it be news if they insist on believing an unnamed source that’s been completely discredited?? Thanks to my friend Bismo for the tip.
If Hillary Can Make A Comeback…
The big upset last week was Hillary getting whupped in Iowa by Barack. Well, New Hampshire has put Hillary back in the running!
Another big upset last week was Warner Bros. pictures abandoning Toshiba’s HD-DVD format in favor of Sony’s Blu-Ray. Yet last night, and again tonight, Toshiba advertised HD-DVD on The Colbert Report.
I don’t know if there’s any hope for my favored format (no, I don’t own an HD player), but at least there’s still some fight left in ’em at Toshiba! Or maybe they were just too depressed to remember to cancel this week’s ad campaign. 😉
