Two faves in one post! Stephen Colbert with Sir Paul McCartney…

Yes, the audio is a couple of frames out-of-synch with the picture. That’s because I used my alternate video capture setup, so the cables can reach from the DVD recorder in the other room. If there’s a fix for this, I haven’t found it yet. Now you know!
I would put the Comedy Central embedded video here, in fact I just did, but they screwed up the markups.
Amazon.com was sold out of A Colbert Christmas — The Greatest Gift of All!, so my thanks go to D.F. Rogers for procuring me a copy at a competitive price. The back of the case alone is worth the price.
Inexpensive, with a charity benefiting, and offbeat guffaws served up by Stephen Colbert with his guests — including two I’ve never heard of before — this is the best 2008 Christmas video ever! A not-to-miss extra is Stephen singing his instant classic, “Cold, Cold Christmas.” Here’s the audio, minus the video.
[audio:http://www.dograt.com/Audio/2008/DEC/ColbertChristmas.mp3]With the new James Bond movie about to be released, Stephen Colbert recently got clued in about the intricacies of international spying at the Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. We were there four years ago (that long ago already??).
History in the making! America will have either a Hawaiian President or an Alaskan Vice President. Like Colbert, in politics I see neither race nor gender. 😉
I think Stephen Colbert’s got the right idea. I’d love to see a DVD of the best tosses from The Daily Show to The Colbert Report. Unfortunately, these days they’re doing only two per week.

This week, Stephen Colbert talked with GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz. He touted the new Chevy Volt, a car that is mostly electric, with a backup gas engine.
This is so bizarre, considering GM’s EV-1, the subject of the outstanding documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car?. Lutz still disputes the existence of global warming. Looking at this lunkhead, I can see why GM is destined for bankruptcy.

But what about Al Gore, who won an Oscar by educating everybody about the threat of global warming? He’s been conspicuously absent of late. Well, to my surprise, it seems he’s taking an entirely different approach to alternative automotive fuel. By chance I’ve found evidence that he’s involved with the development of an atomic carburetor!
