“Snowquester”
Stephen starts tonight with “Al Gore should be turning in his grave” because winter won’t give way to global warming and an allusion to the Donner Party. Seems like Stephen Colbert is a little distracted by them with a little marbled meat on their bones.
Love the Colbrow Dance @ 1:49 …
Naming weather events after current news should result in “Come.on.Government.Start.legislating.for.the.better.of.the.NATION.damnit.partly.cloudy”
Voting Rights Act
As perhaps the youngest freedom rider there, Stephen reminds the Nation that he was at Dr. Martin Luther King’s rally snuggling safe and warm in his mother’s womb. Too bad it wasn’t a womb with a view.
A integrated Balloon Drop declares, “Racism is over,” “We overcame it!” Hot off the presses, Slavery is NOW illegal in Mississippi! Wonder when the will tell the sharecroppers and non union workers.
Hello, Brian! Meet Brian, Alaska’s Demographic!
Stephen’s analogy “It is like old restraining order … yes, I used to beat my girlfriend but I haven’t since the restraining order so we don’t need it any more” hits the wife on the head, so to speak.
Heaven forbid that our governmental bodies would reenact good laws in perpetuity just because they are good, fair and just!
Voting Rights Act – Julian Bond
Bond, Julian Bond was neither shaken nor stirred.
Mr. Julian Bond’s grace and eloquence was honest and wonderful; he kept to his points with just enough sarcasm and knowing smiles to disabuse Stephen of his willful ignorance.
Special guest: Chairman Emeritus of the AAACP and Civil Rights pioneer, Julian Bond. The whole act was terrific. Make sure you view it but here are some of the more poignant quotes.
JB I don’t believe racial discrimination is over. In fact if anything it has increased during the period Obama has been President. … His presence angered many people who accused him of being “President while Black” and the incidences of threats against him are greater than at any other time.
SC He is guilty of being President while Black. You will admit that …
JB Justice Scalia is the Rush Limbaugh of the Supreme Court says inappropriate things over and over again … it is not an entitlement to be able to vote. All Americans expect that …
SC Right to Vote is playing hard to get, it’s a pole tease. (or perhaps a poll tease)
JB I think Justice Thomas and I have lived different lives and have drawn different lessons. He thinks one way, I think another way and I am right!
SC Shouldn’t we get rid of the 13th Amendment?
SC We are not going to enslave African Americans any more, we have Mexican for that!
JB I am sure the Mexicans are glad to hear that.
Thought for Food – Bloomberg & The Nacho Bliss Point
Well, if anyone knows about a “bliss point” representing “… the greatest amount of crave” it is Mr. C; just ask any fangirl.
Solent Green is … well, could be anything, ew! I don’t know which is worse, that the Nacho Industrial Complex have discovered the “bliss point” or that they were seeking it in the first place! Their description of this bliss point is in Brave New Snack doublespeak.
“Doritos … complex formulas that pique the taste buds enough to be alluring but don’t have a distinct, overriding single flavor that tells the brain to stop eating.”
With so many human beings in the world who are malnourished and who never feel full, we are now inventing snacks that make you eat them but don’t make you realize when you are full. This just fattens both the industries bottom line and the eaters’ bottoms!
“Flavor based behavior modification may work on your casual snacker but no snack company is going to make me their bitch!” Jimmy Snack Music Please! Nice snack dancing, Stephen! He sure is game! Let us know when someone has a GIF of that eating dance!
Do you think the TCR writers live to set Stephen up to eat something.
Brendan O’Connell
Meh, my resident art critic defended Mr. O’Connell’s art as perhaps not presenting at its best on TV but I have to say, I am not so keen. Perhaps I am channeling Warhol’s critics from when he released his soup cans and his Marilyn’s, but I was not wowed but then maybe I am projecting my ambivalence towards Walmart onto the images.
Still I did love Stephen’s artistic diatribe reminiscent of his marvelous “The Gates” speech, but at the end of the day, you put this art on your walls at home and what have you done? You have made your placed look like a Walmart seen through beer goggles. Meh..
Black Diamond’s Smoked Almonds, you got your Colbert Bump and don’t be blue about it!

Yes, oh, yes, Stephen satisfies a craving! He is a great late night nourishment!
