In 2006 Stephen Colbert made what may be the funniest video I have ever seen. Part I / Part II / Part III And I thought his role as gay history teacher Chuck Noblet in Strangers with Candy was good.... Wow. Good thing he is not a real gay I think I saw Justice William Pyror in the audience. You can be sure when I am not engaged in my favorite past time, reading bizarre trans-species erotica , or worshiping our leaders like Republican Jesus and Mike Huckabee at the alter we built for them , I am watching the Colbert Nation ..... Not only watching but also wondering if he ever got my donation for his presidential bid? And I am glad he is almost in Philadelphia. Before you arrive, the Crazy Friends of the Liberty Bell have asked me to make sure you are not going to try to copulate with it. Again. Like the last time you were here. You won't will you? Other than that, welcome to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love- you better believe there is a reason we call it that sister . s...

It is a little known historical fact that reggae superstar Bob Marley and part of his family live in Delaware. Not only that, but they run Tuff Gong clothing . On his website it points out that: Bob's mother, Cedella, had remarried and moved to Delaware in the United States where she had saved sufficient money to send her son an air ticket. The intention was for Bob to start a new life. But before he moved to America, Bob met a young girl called Rita Anderson and, on February 10, 1966, they were married. Marley's stay in America was short-lived. He worked just enough to finance his real ambition: music. In October 1966 Bob Marley, after eight months in America, returned to Jamaica. It was a formative period in his life. Every year we hold the People's Festival to honor Bob Marley and his contribution to Delaware's cultural heritage. The first time I was in the hospital, Bob's aunt was my nurse and as a 10 year old I had the biggest crush on her....ahh the good old ...

Since Steve and Tyler are taking a moment to vent , there is something I need to get off my hairy chest by way of a day in review. Let's dive right in.... While Carl Ichan continues to make financial and business deals in a way that will position his companies for a bright financial future. The same cannot be said for Henry Paulson or the U.S. housing market . And while weaker economic growth led stocks lower for a second day after what I call the "fools rally" American equities and ownership of resource shares globally is on the same track as Her Majesty's Northern Rock Bank. With both Social Security and American medical programs like Medicaid and medicare driving up the demand for services . You may ask, well, how does having programs like Medicaid and Medicare drive up demand? Well they do, they in essence are government mandated programs that control and periodically increase costs for services to make the managers of HMO's and group managed health care rich ...

Over the weekend I spent time with my cousins and extended family. I should give you some background, most of my cousins are women and I realized just how insane young women have become in trying to meet guys or conversely how much pressure men put on women to be different from they way they are. I want all you guys out there to take a deep breath and give women some room to rest and be themselves. A posting from Little Caper proves my point when she says: I won't eat anything that's artificially blue. Freaks me out. Those colors just don't exist on edible things in nature.I am a bit of beer snob and lately have become obsessed with something called Sunset Wheat. Although if it's all that's available you can force me to drink something nasty out of a can. But you'll owe me big time. I am OCD: I count the number of times I chew my food. I count my footsteps. If I step on a red square at the grocery store with my left foot I have to step on a right tile with my r...

They Gave You Liberty I was walking through the coffee shop down the street yesterday and noticed those corny signs plastered on the walls. You know the ones. The ones that say things like "Attitude" and underneath "your attitude determines your altitude." Signs that are used to make people who are dispirited or mediocre feel better, and provide some group cohesion to corporations under semi- Orwellian banners. And in honor of those signs, I made the above that reflects how I feel we should think everyday, it more accurately reflects my own perceptions of the world, and my total lack of Orwellian spirit.

This morning I was thinking, Steve and my last discussions about the former governor of New York and his wife were only appropriate in the context of hack editorial journalism. Other stars have risen and been discredited with sex scandals. And I was humbled by the fact that the man whose ideals, more than any other, shaped our nation and my thought was also rocked by a sex scandal with hack Journalists attacking him viciously and from every angle. When Adams was making ruthless fun of Jefferson for all of his peccadilloes and idiosyncrasies, he was doing much the same as hacks do today. I am no exception. I am a hack sometimes too. My weird sense of humor and healthy mischief cause that. Adams would smash Jeffersonian foreign policy, smash his idealism at every turn with a realistic candor that was often much more cruel and they would use hack journalists to hack each other in surrogate. Jefferson's sex scandal started on a cold day. He was inside of Monticello and the frost outsid...

I only have one question today: Is it me, or are the presidental elections starting to remind you more and more of a conglomeration of South Park Episodes?
