"Reality has a strong liberal bias!" is my favourite bit. My boyfriend and I have been shouting it at each other all week.
ETA: I'm going to assume that it (the pub)'s a rugby thing. Although, my boyfriend's favourite fact he learned about Dublin when we were there recently is that there are 1000 prostitutes working on any one night in the city. His second favourite is that there are more gay people per capita than in San Francisco.
Did anyone catch the sly reference to all the fallout in last night's Report? (Banishing his black friend Alan to Alan-town, where he sends banished Alans, along with Allen-comma-Woody "I didn't care for Match Point...it just wasn't funny.")
Almost as good as begging for a Pulitzer with "Okay, so let's say that Stephen Colbert is a character... and he's retarded but he doesn't know it."
Oh meta, how I love thee.
Colbert is sorta' like Aquaman, except his super ability is to talk to and control eagles. So I guess his kryptonite would be bears.
And David Blaine is sorta like Aquaman too. It's a bit of realities colliding.
It's particularly amusing to hear that the most powerful human being on the planet is capable of being bullied by a basic cable half-hour comedy host (unless, of course, Colbert is actually the most powerful human being on the planet and Bush is just the planet's biggest pussy).
May I tag you, JZ?
This war was a big boo boo and he won't admit he did wrong.
See, I'm not sure I want people on my side who think of the war as the equiavalent of a badly skinned knee.

Oh dear lord NO! Aquaman's such a dick!
I also fell in love with a guy on a message board I read yesterday who laboriously explained that Colbert is not edgy or daring and in fact is just as bad as the people he's mocking, as evidenced by the fact that before he interviews a guest on his show, he runs out into the audience for gladhanding and fawning. A couple of people tried to explain the concept of satire, and what it means for a comic actor to create a character, but it was rather hopeless.
As someone said over at TT, this guy doesn't get it so badly he's going to sprain something not getting it.

And I think I have a new tag.
Steve Gilliard had a great response to Cohen on Colbert that someone linked to in Victor's LJ.

Happy No Pants Day, everyone!
I seriously, seriously need a nap.
The angry cardinal has not visited today. Probably because it's a bit overcast.

That or the Pope called him back to Rome.
I had no idea I was celebrating no-pants day.
