Steven Colbert on Jeremiah Wright

I absolutely love this clip:

Here’s a transcript of the last bit of the clip:

Colbert: When you see or hear things that are bad are going on in your church, you get up and you walk out! That’s what Catholics like me, and Papa Bear [his nickname for Bill O'Reilly] and Sean Hannity understand. You leave [...]

Bill O’Reilly Loses His Cool [Updated]

Update, May 13, 2008: The original video got yanked, but I’ve posted another copy in its place.

Perhaps We Shouldn’t Have Welcomed Them as Liberators

Over at the blog Cathartic Relief, there’s an interesting alternate-future-history story that takes place 8 years after the Chinese invaded America in the summer of 2008. I’m sure it’ll get readers riled up in all sorts of different ways; feel free to sound off in the comments!
Some excerpts:

It’s been eight years now. Eight long years. [...]

Jesus Camp

In case you missed the excellent documentary Jesus Camp on A&E last night, you can catch it in its entirety thanks to Google video in large size or below in a small (but still watchable) window below…

David Janes’ Remix of “America: A Brief Parable”

David Janes, friend and right-wing blogger, remixed the Tom Tomorrow comic (America: A Brief Parable) that I posted earlier and posted it to his blog, Ranting and Roaring:

He also writes:
