Less, Better Stuff

Remember The Story of Stuff? Well, it’s a book now.

Right Wing Watch

Tidbits from the Right Wing as the week came to a close:

1. Oh, but the world is coming to an end because gay people in Iowa can get married! At least, that’s what you’d gather if you were hanging out with the freepers or other right wingers yesterday (my favorite comment in the response to the response: “It seems God turns a blind eye to the high straight divorce rate, pedophile priests, straight criminals etc. I didn’t know that homosexuals such as myself were so powerful and could bring about Armageddon but if we are responsible it will be fabulously well run and organized. Oh what to wear?”).

2. Pope condoms are selling well in France.

3. Look who is finally leaving New York (don’t let the door hit you in the ginormous ass, Rush!)! UPDATE: Rush forgets.

4. And lastly, is Glenn Beck unraveling before our eyes?

Video catchup!

While we here at Chez 10K have been distracted by the TV (for weeks, really — first by the Olympics and then by the Democratic and Republican conventions, respectively), the creative among us have been churning out the videos. Here’s a sampling:

Dems Do Colbert

Thursday night, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama andJohn Edwards all appeared on the Colbert Report. It took us back to the heyday of the primary campaign — before things got ugly and boring. To see the clips from the show, go here (edWØRDS was my favorite segment). And if you’ll forgive me a bit of photoshopping, I loved this campaign when it was a three-man race. Now — enh — not so much…

The Return of Stewart & Colbert

The Daily Show, without writers, will return on Monday, January 7th, according to its website. The show will have a different format than we’re used to, consisting mostly of interviews.

I expect Jon to explain on his first night back that while he supports the writers 100%, he also supports the rest of his staff — the camera operators, etc — who need their paychecks. So, he’ll limp along without the writers as we all hope that the evil studios will crumble sometime soon.

Stewart and Colbert released a joint statement:

We would like to return to work with our writers. If we cannot, we would like to express our ambivalence, but without our writers we are unable to express something as nuanced as ambivalence.

It’s up on eBay. Over $75,000 in the first 5 minutes!

Update: by morning, the listing became “restricted to pre-approved bidders or buyers only” and the price has dropped considerably.

Meta-free-phor-all!

Oh, it’s good.
