That's from his interview with Dawkins, isn't it? (I lied, I do sometimes watch his show when clips of it are posted on YouTube with titles like "Richard Dawkins SCARES Bill O'Reilly." I'm so predictable, it's sad.) I remember that. That hurt me to watch. The smugness in ignorance just blew my mind.

Excellently put. Really great response that said most all the things I was going to say, so I won't be redundant by repeating them.

What's particularly baffling to me is that it's apparently not so much emasculating that he has to drive a borrowed car, but that it's a GIRL car with "fluffy pink seat covers." I mean obviously all women cars have fluffy pink seat covers and butterfly decal'd windows and tampon-shaped stick shifts.

I...would really love to. But I doubt it. I suppose I can't be sure about some of them, since I don't really watch his show unless Jon Stewart is commenting on it, but I'm fairly sure they're all legit.

Personally I'm not against getting married, per se, but this kind of stuff makes me recoil at the thought of a wedding.

Oh, but he has so many more insightful observations to make about what black people are doing wrong!

To be fair, he would know about putting out exploitative garbage.

I would have a Lord of the Rings themed bris in a hearbeat, though.

I'm starting to think that "protecting women" is just one of those nice-sounding but completely-opposite-reality phrases people have just started tacking on to any anti-abortion action. The same way "freedom of religion" is slapped on anything anti-gay these days.

Wikipedia says he was on The Dana Carvey Show beforehand, but SWC was definitely his first major role.

I'm a Knox graduate, and Stephen Colbert once came to Knox as our commencement speaker. (You know how at the beginning of every medical segment he says "I'm not a doctor, I have an honorary doctorate of fine arts"? We gave him that doctorate! You can even see the fireproof diploma Roger Taylor gave him in the

Yeah. I like salad because I like vegetables, and I'm annoyed that salads are viewed as some kind of penance-food for dieters to eat out of the guilt they feel from having licked a cookie or smelled frying bacon. Vegetables are food too. Food is good. Can we just eat food? Please?

Not to mention Wanda Sykes!

I keep track of bits of condescending rhetoric that I pick up so I can turn them against people who use them. Here's a few of my favorites:

Especially because Louis C.K. acknowledges white male privilege in his routines. Irony much?

And many things that claim to flush out "toxins" (ear candling, juice fasts, etc) run on the humor theory-esque attitude of "we're going to put some crap in your body to make you sick! Oh, look at all the crap you're puking up, aren't you glad we got all that out of your system?"

That idea also reinforces the completely fucked up notion that rape is somehow a normal part of male sexuality. That a man just needs to get horny enough before he loses control and rapes someone. It's dangerous to women and insulting to men.

No, the mirror universe Sulu was scarred, lanky haired and desperately trying to convince everyone he was straight by creepin' on Uhura.

Did you hear Putin's "let's not bring politics into this" speech at the opening ceremonies? I hope he realizes the world is watching him, and not in the way he wanted.

Prooooobably. I hope not. That's why I say I'm banking on Big Eyes to give me hope for him...small budget, no Johnny Depp, no HBC, all actors that he hasn't worked with before...a biopic written by the guys who wrote Ed Wood...and it's based on an artist who has a distinct visual style different from his own. I think
