Funny Video: Colbert on America as The Straight Meat in a Big Gay Sandwich

*** Outrageous Colbert labels America as the straight meat filling of a gay sandwich since Canada and Mexico legalized gay marriage.






From Denny: Just when you think Colbert can't get any more outrageous, well, here he is with his usual grinning ridiculous. He does so love to lampoon any sacred cow a society even thinks it might get to venerate. In this case that's the Republican conservative idea of marriage is only meant for men and women, not men and men or women and women.

So, what does a self-respecting comic do with controversial taboo subjects in a culture? Why lampoon them from every angle, like the newly legalized gay marriage laws in Canada and Mexico.

America is still struggling with the notion of affording gays full human status. It is amazing how less than one percent of the population can actually be a wedge issue politically but the Republicans keep beating the drum to keep their base engaged. That base has now dwindled down to the range of 17 to 20 percent of the country, from a high of 48 percent.

"Invasion Of The Country Snatchers," is where Colbert lays out his concerns about the "invasion" of our country by immigrants, saying "This land has not seen this big a foreign invasion since the May Flower landed."

However, Colbert admitted he's "more concerned about our own gay citizens fleeing to Mexico or Canada where gay marriage is legal. This makes America the straight meat in a big, gay sandwich." Such is the funny Colbert logic.

Colbert asks: "Who will we turn to when we need a second class group of citizens to marginalize? This mosque thing isn't going to last forever."

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Comments on Gay Marriage - Californigaytion

*** Jon Stewart questions and lampoons the lame CNN news interview when the gay marriage ban was lifted by a federal ruling.






From Denny: Talk about awkward. Sometimes, when a story like the lifting of California's gay marriage ban from a federal judge is in the news - the reporter's reaction speaks more loudly than the news story. A CNN news reporter goes looking for somebody gay to ask about their reaction to California's Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage struck down by a federal judge.

So, the reporter gets the "brilliant" idea of going over to an Atlanta, Georgia "known gay bar of a twenty year standing" to interview someone. Uh, why didn't he just call any number of gay political action groups for their reaction and an interview? You know, people who are familiar with the legal wranglings on the subject - but a gay bar at three in the afternoon? How lame.

Of course, the amusing response from Jon Stewart about the odd - and very awkward - interview, "Was that an interview or a gay speed date gone horribly wrong?"

Funny Video: Colbert Reveals Master Plan to Ruin Gay Marriage

*** Enjoy Colbert's outrageous humor as he comments on American society and the new federal ruling striking down the ban on gay marriage.





From Denny: America's comics are having a field day with the news coverage about the federal ruling lifting the California Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage. Of course, Colbert is his usual funny mocking self who brings sanity to sometimes insane politics and American culture.

When a news story like this gets mocked it should stop the thought process of some who are stubborn and too judging of others who are gay. "But for the grace of God go I..." Come on; who the heck chooses a life like this on purpose? Who wants to be an extremely small percentage of the general population constantly getting pecked on - and bullied - by the all the "properly feathered" chickens in the barn yard? Better yet, and how is what one percent of America's population living going to negatively affect my life or marriage? That's my responsibility.

Colbert enjoys his usual play on words in his funny word games - like saying that gay marriage is just regular marriage that gays are now entitled to engage. Colbert amuses us by declaring the whole idea of marriage is "kinda gay anyway." So, Stephen goes on to state his silly long-winded plan to ruin same-sex marriages as a retaliation.

Yeah, Stephen thinks we all should spend lots of time in America's wine country to the tune of about ten years. Hmmm... he might have something there. Maybe if everyone sat down over a few glasses of wine they might figure out they have more in common than a few differences. It's called being human. Anyway, enjoy Colbert's usual non-stop outrageous humor.

Funny Editorial Cartoons 7 Nov 2009

From Denny: There was a lot going on this week but health care reform continued to dominate. The public is finally waking up to the tactics of the Republicans and their lobbyists who unceasingly run anti-health care reform TV ads in my state with the usual suspects of scare tactics.

Basically, the cartoons revolved around the concepts of how no one wants to be labelled as a Republican, how the Republicans have deceived us on health care reform, how Obama looks too weak on restraining Big Business, Banks and Wall Street, Hillary on the move dealing with world behavior problems and how perplexed the average American is feeling these days with their lives falling apart.

There were so many good cartoons I'll continue the rest of them on Monday's post with the late night show quips roundup.



How the Republicans are perceived by the American voter on health care:







Gay marriage law died in Maine, one of the most liberal states in the Union. My guess is that while the public is fine with the lifestyle choice they aren't fine with the educational materials that came into the school system of books like Heather Has Two Mommies.

When 1% of the population starts trying to dominate the majority then there will be pushback. Had the gay rights folks not pushed on the majority in such a militant manner they would have already received their equal rights to marriage.

While it's understandable gays don't want hetero lifestyles pushed onto them they have to consider the reverse and not push the gay lifestyle onto the heteros. No one likes to be pushed around or dominated against their will. When people in America on both sides of any political, gender or religious issue finally understand and accept that to be true they might actually create break-throughs for equality legislation that benefits everyone.



Republicans trying to rebuild their political party and can't find any takers. People have abandoned them like rats off a sinking ship.

Many of them finally woke up and realized they had screwed themselves out of a decent paycheck, a regular job and truly lower taxes locally and state wise - because these went through the roof under the Republican Bush years - who threw all the national taxes (which were cheaper to centralize) to the local and state levels.

Under the Democrats the nation pooled their resources and taxes were cheaper on the local and state levels, try 50% less in my area. The average middle class person also paid an additional $5,000 to $7,000 extra national taxes during the Republican Bush years. And these guys have the nerve to scream about how the Democrats are raising taxes?

BTW, voters identifying themselves as Republicans have fallen to a low of only 19% and falling - from a previous 56% during the Bush years.







The average guy's experience when he goes to the bank:



Our Wall Street "buddies" and their "intellectual" business strategies:



Senator LieberBush in the pocket of Republican Big Business lobbyists (Senator Lieberman from Connecticut). Sadly, Lieberman started out in politics as a really decent guy who was doing the right thing by people. He stayed in Washington far too long and was seduced and destroyed by the atmosphere:




Obama's weak attempts to restrain and corral Wall Street, Big Business and Banks:





The never popular Republican Gingrich who was forced to resign as Speaker of the House, who started in politics in 1978 and started America on the destructive course it's been on for the past 30 years: getting rid of all the laws that restrained and regulated Big Business and Banks from raping the taxpayers' wallets and jobs:



This one brings to mind the shock-jocks and diarrhea-mouths of talk radio like Rush:



Climate change fools who just don't get it:



Hillary in Pakistan. I have 3 words to say, Go! Hillary, Go! :)





Ziggy as the average guy who plays by all the rules, votes but gets his vote thrown out by cheaters, goes to war for his country and can't get decent health care or a job when he comes off the battlefield, puts his money in the bank and then gets screwed with excessive interest rates on his credit cards is left wondering who is going to protect him:
