Stephen Tyrone Colbert (born on May 13, 1964) is an American political satirist, writer, comedian and television host. He is the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, a satirical news show in which Colbert portrays a caricatured version of conservative political pundits.

Colbert originally studied to be an actor, but became interested in improvisational theatre when he met famed Second City director Del Close while attending Northwestern University. He first performed professionally as an understudy for Steve Carell at Second City Chicago; among his troupe mates were comedians Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris, with whom he developed the critically acclaimed sketch comedy series Exit 57.

Colbert also wrote and performed on the short-lived Dana Carvey Show before collaborating with Sedaris and Dinello again on the cult television series Strangers with Candy. He gained considerable attention for his role on the latter as closeted, gay history teacher Chuck Noblet. It was his work as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s news-parody series The Daily Show, however, that first introduced him to a wide audience.

In 2005, he left The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to host a spin-off series, The Colbert Report. Following The Daily Show’s news-parody concept, The Colbert Report is a parody of personality-driven political opinion shows such as The O’Reilly Factor. Since its debut, the series has established itself as one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated series, earning Colbert three Emmy nominations and an invitation to perform as featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in 2006. Colbert was named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in 2006. His book, I Am America (And So Can You!), was No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller List.

Drew Allison Carey (born May 23, 1958) is an American actor, comedian, photographer, and game show host. After serving in the U.S. Marines and making a name for himself in stand-up comedy, Carey eventually gained popularity starring on his own sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, and serving as host on the U.S. version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, both of which aired on ABC.

Carey has appeared in several films, television series, music videos, a made-for-television film, and a computer game. He currently hosts the game show The Price Is Right. He is interested in a variety of sports, has worked as a photographer at U.S. National Team soccer games, and is a minority owner of the Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders FC. Carey is engaged and has written an autobiography detailing his early life and television career.

Garretson Beekman “Garry” Trudeau http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FG.B.-Trudeau%2Fe%2FB000AP9XQ2%3Fqid%3D1281414757%26sr%3D1-2-ent&tag=doc06-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 (born July 21, 1948) is an American cartoonist, best known for the Doonesbury comic strip.

Philip Stephen Hendrie (born September 1, 1952) is an American radio personality. He is best known as the host of The Phil Hendrie Show, a comedy talk radio program that is syndicated throughout North America on Talk Radio Network. While The Phil Hendrie Show became renowned for its unique and controversial guests, those guests are not real people at all. They are fictional characters created and voiced by Hendrie himself.

Hendrie has performed voices on the animated FOX sitcoms King of the Hill and Futurama, and as I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. and the Terrorist in Team America: World Police. In Spring of 2006, he had a supporting role in the live-action NBC sitcom Teachers.

President Barack Obama as The Cat in the Hat

Monday, July 19th, 2010

A spoof about President Obama as the Cat in the Hat to a tune from 1929 Tiptoe Through the Tulips. He’s trying to do so many things he looks like the Cat in the Hat who came crashing down. It feels more like Tiptoe to the poorhouse, with all the spending and the possibility of inflation, and more taxes to pay for the spending down the road. He’s also managing warranties for cars sold by a company that’s going bankrupt and trying to convince the French not to walk out of the G20. He’s also trying to convince our allies to send troops to Afghanistan, help us with China surrounding our ships, or eliminating the dollar from the world currency standard. Think he will send billions to Africa for assistance the way Bush did? Bush saved 10 million lives in Africa, will Obama, while he’s running car companies?

Why the Republican Lies on Health Care Reform are Going to Bite Them Back

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

After more than a year of political battles with the Republicans, Fox News, the Tea Party, and the health insurance industry, President Obama and the Democratic Party were finally able to make health care reform the law of the United States.

It is quite difficult to overstate the importance of this victory for Obama. It’s a legislative victory so huge that it boosts President Obama into the discussion about the greatest Presidents of the past 100 years. Universal health care has been a goal for forward thinking people since Theodore Roosevelt proposed the idea about 100 years ago.

As huge as the victory is for Obama, it’s just as big of a loss for the Republican Party because they put everything they had on trying to take down this bill and they were beat. Far right GOP Senator Jim Demint of South Carolina said that he thought the Republicans could destroy Obama’s presidency if they could take down his health care reform bill. He said it would be the President’s “Waterloo” but as David Frum noted in a recent article, it is now the Republican party’s “Waterloo.”

The reason for this is because all of the outrageous lies that the the Republican machine (including Fox News) told about health care reform only work politically if the bill never becomes the law. Then they can say that they “saved America” from some evil plot and since it was never realized there would be no solid evidence that they were full of it. This is how the GOP won huge in 1994 after defeating President Clinton’s health care reform.

But now that health care reform is law average Americans will inevitably find out that they actually really like the changes since they are extremely positive for most Americans.

The GOP is now campaigning with the preposterous slogan “Repeal and Replace” but this slogan will seem increasingly ridiculous as normal people find out how good the reform actually is. I am confident that a majority of the American people will wake up and realize that the GOP has done nothing but lie about this topic for more than a year and this will probably lead to a very good November for the Democrats this year.

Follow the 2012 Presidential Campaign which will pit President Obama against a Republican such as Mitt Romney.

The PROUD history of the Republican Party

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

The Republican Party formed by abolitionists in 1854 take bold steps in securing freedoms for former slaves until the Democrats regain control of Congress. Once in control of Congress and many of the southern state governments the Democrats once again stripped away the rights African Americans wouldn’t again fully achieve until the civil rights movement of the 1960’s.

- In 1865, Congressional Republicans unanimously backed the 13th Amendment, which made slavery unconstitutional. Among Democrats, 63 percent of senators and 78 percent of House members voted: “No.”

- In 1866, 94 percent of GOP senators and 96 percent of GOP House members approved the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing all Americans equal protection of the law. Every congressional Democrat voted: “No.”

- February 28, 1871: The GOP Congress passed the Enforcement Act, giving black voters federal protection.

- February 8, 1894: Democratic President Grover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress repealed the GOP’s Enforcement Act, denying black voters federal protection.

- October 16, 1901: GOP President Theodore Roosevelt invited to the White House as its first black dinner guest Republican educator Booker T. Washington.

- January 26, 1922: The U.S. House adopted Rep. Leonidas Dyer’s (R., Mo.) bill making lynching a federal crime. Filibustering Senate Democrats killed the measure.

- Until 1935, every black federal legislator was Republican. America’s first black U.S. Representative, South Carolina’s Joseph Rainey, and our first black senator, Mississippi’s Hiram Revels, both reached Capitol Hill in 1870. On December 9, 1872, Louisiana Republican Pinckney Benton Stewart “P.B.S.” Pinchback became America’s first black governor.

- August 17, 1937: Republicans opposed Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Supreme Court nominee, U.S. Senator Hugo Black (D., Al.), a former Klansman who defended Klansmen against race-murder charges.

- September 24, 1957: Eisenhower deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock’s government schools over the strenuous resistance of Governor Orval Faubus (D., Ark.).

- May 6, 1960: Eisenhower signs the GOP’s 1960 Civil Rights Act after it survived a five-day, five-hour filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats.

- November 2, 1983: President Reagan established Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday as a national holiday, the first such honor for a black American.

- President Reagan named Colin Powell America’s first black national-security adviser while GOP President George W. Bush appointed him our first black secretary of state.

Facts are from Deroy Murdock who is an advisory board member of Project 21, a Washington-based network of black free-market advocates.
