Colbert Won't Tell Us How to Get to Socialist Sesame Street

TresSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0800

Last night Stephen Colbert took on Sesame Street, the "most insidious socialist brainwashing program in our nation's history," on its 40th anniversary. When not condemning SS for indoctrinating children with a love of learning and showing adorable clips, he calls out Grover for allowing kids to think marriage is just between two people and the legalization of Bert-and-Ernie marriages.

Colbert's Solution For the "Pre-existing Condition" Conundrum

TresSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:30:00 -0700

Forget going to your reps on Capitol Hill to remind them that a woman is not a preexisting condition. So what if a toddler who barely has preexistence is denied health insurance because, at a healthy weight of 22 pounds, she's deemed too skinny? Leave the poor health insurance companies aloooone! They just want a return on their investment, after all. As Stephen Colbert says, you wouldn't buy a banana with spots on it, would you? And anyway, he has a solution. Just breed the insurable with the insurable! That way, ~~everyone~~ healthcare providers win!

Oh Snap! Operation Iraqi Stephen

TresSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:00:24 -0700

This week, The Colbert Report will broadcast straight from Camp Victory in Iraq - a camp whose name sounds like something Stephen came up with himself. At yesterday's taping of "Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando," 300 servicemembers looked on as Stephen got an army haircut from Gen. Ray Odierno. According to audience members, the faux pundit did not tone down any of the truthiness or biting satire for the troops. I'm not surprised. Will you tune in tonight?

Meghan McCain and Stephen Colbert Have a Sex Talk

TresSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 10:00:00 -0700

Meghan McCain went on The Colbert Report last night to talk sex and the Republican Party. She sounded optimistic about the party's future, saying she's a prosex, pro-life woman and a pro-gay-marriage Republican. Of course, Stephen asked her what incentive he would have to get married if can just gay-marry and "hang out with dudes" all the time.

While she took a slam at Briston Palin's "abstinence tour," she maintained there is one thing about the campaign she won't comment on - Sarah Palin. Not even when Stephen asked her to comment on that comment!

Stephen Colbert Fears Armagayddon, Makes Ad

TresSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 10:00:00 -0700

Last week an ad warning of a gay storm brewing shocked the Internet for about five minutes, at least until the casting call of auditioning actors surfaced. Now that New York's governor wants to legalize same-sex marriage, Stephen Colbert fears the storm is headed for his backyard. And it's a "threat to marriage to that won't be solved by clearing out your web browser." What to do when all you have is a cable show? Make your own ad. Watch it below.

Should NASA Name Space Station Room After Colbert?

CitizenSugar — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 10:30:55 -0700

I'm no rocket scientist, but I do know that if you start an open naming contest, fans of Stephen Colbert will quickly beam the comedian to first place. That's what happened to NASA when it decided to ask the public for suggestions on what to name a room in the space station, now called Node 3.

"Colbert" won the contest, but NASA still has the option to reject the write in winner. Tonight, a real-life scientist will go on the Colbert Report to share NASA's decision.

What does Stephen think NASA should do? He said: "Certainly I hope NASA does the right thing. Just kidding. I hope they name it after me."

US Aid to Africa Bad for Africa?

CitizenSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:00:39 -0700

It's amazing the things you can learn from a comedy show. Last night, Stephen Colbert invited Dambisa Moyo, the author of Dead Aid, on his show to discuss US aid to Africa. She says the type of assistance that celebrities lobby for and rich countries provide isn't always good for the continent.

In the last 60 years, wealthy countries have given Africa more than $1 trillion in aid, but poverty levels continue to increase in countries that have become dependent on foreign support.

Moyo explained to Stephen that government aid "very often is used for corruption. It causes inflation. It causes a debt burden, which is unsustainable." She says the developed world should support business leaders and entrepreneurs in Africa through direct investment. Moyo sounds like she has some good ideas - let's hope policy makers at least pick up her book.
