AN UPDATE ON STEPHEN'S WRIST: The "Get Well" flowers for our dear Stephen keep coming even a cookie bear arrangement. If it's edible, bite the head off!
THREATDOWN: The number one threat...BADGERS! I agree with Stephen on carpet bombing the University of Wisconsin. Those Badgers played against my Kentucky Wildcats a couple of years ago. Sorry Wisconsin, you may have lost to the Cats but you only lost by 6!! For that, you must be carpet bombed!!!

THE DAILY SHOW: JULY 30, 2007
PARTY IN IRAQ!: Iraq has something to celebrate (no, not the U.S. leaving the country), but something better, they won the AFC Asian Cup over Saudi Arabia.
I HEART SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: The thought of someone supoeaning Karl Rove makes my ticker aflutter. Someone should charge him with that M.C. Rove video. Blech.

THE DAILY SHOW AND THE COLBERT REPORT: JULY 24-26
Well, I didn't post again for the past week. I did go and see The Simpsons Movie and tried to fathom how No Reservations sold out at my local movie theater. Anyway on to the best of The Daily Show which was the YouTube debates. Poor Stephen broke his wrist on The Colbert Report.
Yes, this recap sucked.

THE COLBERT REPORT: JULY 23, 2007
TOO BUSY READING HARRY POTTER: What a cute gag throughout the show. By the way, SPOILER ALERT-Hermione is a DUDE.
THE WORD IS...PREMIUM PACKAGE: Ah, to be rich. I would have affordable health care.
COLBERT PLATINUM: Finally, the solution to who gave the coral reefs herpes! It was polo horses in a freaky three-way with dolphins by some rich guy's luxury submarine.

SIMON SCHAMA: What a funny guy. He can't say the word "craft" correctly. Oh, you Brits! I knew Caravaggio was going to be mentioned after Stephen commented on how artist were such a-holes. FYI, Caravaggio killed a guy. He got off by painting his own portrait!!
THE DAILY SHOW: JULY 23, 2007
July 21, 2007 is a day that will live in infamy. Dick Cheney was President of the United States!!! AAAAHHHH!! for two hours. Yes, Bush had a colonoscopy Saturday morning. Can Cheney nuke Iran and start another necessary war in two hours? It was a close call, but crisis adverted.
The guest was scientist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I agree with Jon, when Tyson talks, I get kinda horny. When I squinted my eyes, Tyson looked like Billy Dee Williams!

THE COLBERT REPORT: WEEK OF JULY 16
As stated on the previous post, I am experimenting with best of the week/segments for TCR.
And the winner is ....after months of pleading and begging...
STEPHEN GETS AN iPHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a side note, the Emmy nominations were announced last week and Stephen is again nominated for Outstanding-whatever he lost to MANNILOW!!!!!-now he is going against Tony Bennett. I firmly believe if BENNETT!! wins, Stephen's head will explode.

THE DAILY SHOW: WEEK OF JULY 16
I'm trying out a new format; if I forget to recap an episode of TDS, I will select a best-of-the-week quote and/or segment.
The winner of July 16-19 is...
"It's like robbing Peter to touch Paul." (On why the Archdiocese of LA paid $660 million to Catholic Church abuse survivors) NOTE: Maybe they should have paid $666 million!!
HONORABLE MENTION: "I may have an action figure in my rectum." (Actually watch the segment on Comedy Central's Motherload.

A BELATED BARBARA STANWYCK BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE
Okay, so I didn't get back with you last week like I said; a head cold and laziness will do that to a person. With that out of the way, let's get started...
A week ago today, July 16, 2007 was the 100th anniversary of Barbara Stanwyck's birth. Turner Classic Movies celebrated the day by having a 24-hour tribute to the lady. Alas, her best remembered films such as Double Indemnity and The Lady Eve were not shown. Sadly, I only got to catch one film (luckily, I had seen most of the line-up), These Wilder Years. Made in 1956, it's the only teaming of Stanwyck with James Cagney. Years tells the story of tycoon Steve Bradford (Cagney) who has a dark secret: twenty years before he impregnated a girl and abandoned her, now he wants to know where the boy is (BTW, the boy was adopted, if no one has figured that out yet). He discovers the child was born at The Haven, a home for unwed mothers run by Ann Dempster (our b-day gal). Bradford also develops a bond with a young pregnant girl while fighting Dempster for the right to find the boy.
TCM also aired Baby Face (Stanwyck literally sleeps her way to the top), Sorry, Wrong Number, Annie Oakley, and Meet John Doe. Don't worry, Stanwyck made about ninety films. Watch all of them, she never gave a bad performance.

I'M BAAAAAAAACCCCKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW it's been three months since I last posted. I didn't realize it had been that long. I just became frustrated because I hadn't found my voice yet. Stubborn me didn't realize I needed to keep writing in order to find my voice. Don't you worry, because tomorrow I will have new posts on a TCM birthday tribute, two episodes of The Closer, and (THANK GOD) the returns of the Daily Show and The Colbert Report!!!
