Stephen Colbert Imitates O'Reilly's Inside Edition Meltdown On Tuesday night's Colbert Report Stephen Colbert had fun with Bill O'Reilly's Inside Edition meltdown, showing "never-before-seen" mock footage of his own past as midday anchor at WPTS in Patterson Springs, NC. Watch as Colbert freaks out over the words written on the teleprompter in true O'Reilly fashion (and throws in a Brian Williams shout-out as well.) 2 Comments
Mom asked for a pair of nunchucks for Mother's Day. It was an odd request and her kids were sure she'd whack herself in the head in no time, but they went ahead and bought her a set — for a good laugh. Upon receiving the pair, she stood up, and used her secret ninja warrior skills to put their snickering to rest. Needless to say, the kids want their gift back. (Thanks, College Humor!)
Being a part of someone's wedding is a huge honor, but it's also very time-consuming and expensive. It seems that everyone's free time is getting more and more limited, so when you add wedding requirements to the mix, they can feel like more of a burden than an event to look forward to. Typically brides have one engagement party, one bridal shower, and one bachelorette party, but some have many more. Now I love a good party, don't get me wrong, but I know how monotonous these kind of parties can be. So ladies, do tell, how many pre-wedding parties are too many?

Researches at an independent research institute in India think they've solved the food crisis — hold on to your drumstick — they say the US's voracious appetites that is to blame. That if Americans slimmed down to the weight of middle-class Indians, “many hungry people in sub-Saharan Africa would find food on their plates.” The spokesman for the organization added pointedly that the amount of money spent in the United States on liposuction to get rid of fat from excess consumption could be better spent feeding famine victims.
The super-sized backlash on American consumption stems partially from remarks made by President Bush about India’s growing middle class and food prices. He said, “when you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food, and so demand is high, and that causes the price to go up.”
An editorial in India slammed these comments, saying Bush was trying to pass the food inflation buck to India, instead of where India thinks it properly belongs. Figures may show they're right. The United States uses — or throws away — 3,770 calories a person each day (according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) compared with 2,440 calories per person in India.
Is consumption to blame for the food crisis and grocery bill sticker-shock? Are factors like poor crops, climate change, biofuels, and fuel prices more to blame than the US liposuction habit? Is India making a fair point?
If there ever was any doubt, it's now been confirmed that Bill O'Reilly has the temperament of a two-year-old. A vid of him blowing a gasket behind the news desk surfaced yesterday and can be found in nearly every corner of the net today. His a-hole outburst has become a viral video success. But Billy boy didn't think we'd let him off the hook that easy, did he? Oh no, there's more. There's the remix.
Weigh in and tell us if you forgive or not forgive this True Confession.
"I would do anything to have one more night with the ex — man, he rocked my world like nobody else, not even my husband! Can I be forgiven for thinking about him even though I've moved on?"
