Stephen Colbert to testify before congress in character video of Stephen on GMA
by Mof Gimmers on September 23, 2010 2 Comments
Stephen Colbert is going to testify before Congress. That was a weird sentence to type. He’s doing it in character too. Weirder still. The Comedy Central host is going to go to Capitol Hill and appear before a House Judiciary subcommittee for a hearing on immigration called “Protecting America’s Harvest.”
Seriously.
Colbert is going to speak alongside United Farm Workers (UFW) President Arturo Rodriguez about illegal immigrants taking people’s jobs. In character. A comedy character. A fictional, supposed to be funny, not real, character. In Congress. WHAT?
The comic spent a day working at a farm in New York last month after Rodriguez came on his show to discuss UFW’s “Take Our Jobs” campaign, which challenges the view that illegal immigrants are taking jobs from Americans.
Apparently, during his interview, Rodriguez talked about an initiative where the UFW invited the citizens of the USA (legal residents, natch) to replace the immigrant workers.
Only three people signed up to work in the fields. Colbert became the fourth.
And so, with the world clearly spinning anti-clockwise briefly, Colbert will be expected to talk about the agriculture industry’s dependence on illegal immigrants to pick fruits and vegetables, according CBS News reported.
Colbert appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America and sarcastically said:
“Republicans are concerned that I will make light of the responsibility of governance? That I will someway impede the smooth flow of the governing of this country? I take exception with that.”
Colbert has also announced that he would rally in Washington on October 30th with fellow Comedy Central host Jon Stewart in an event called ‘The March to Keep Fear Alive.’
Watch this video and feel your brains trickle out of your ears.

EXCERPT:
Elmo is the only non-human or puppet ever to testify before the U.S. Congress. At the request and with the assistance of Rep. Duke Cunningham, he testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education in April 2002, urging support for increased funding in music education.[5]

Elmo goes to Washington
April 24, 2002 Posted: 1:01 AM EDT (0501 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In what may be the first appearance of a Muppet before a congressional committee, "Sesame Street" favorite Elmo donned his best suit and tie and took his cause to Capitol Hill.
The red, furry friend to toddlers everywhere gave evidence before the Education Appropriations Subcommittee to urge more spending on music research and musical instruments for school programs.
Randy (Duke) Cunningham
EXCERPT:
Cunningham resigned from the House on November 28, 2005, after pleading guilty to accepting at least $2.4 million in bribes and under reporting his income for 2004. He pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion. On March 3, 2006, he received a sentence of eight years and four months in prison and an order to pay $1.8 million in restitution.[1]

”Elmo, it’s time to sleep now so watch those eyes, k?”
”Mom, I am so glad to be here. I missed you terribly.”
”Oh sweet daughter of mine, I cannot express my happiness at finally having my little girl back
in my life. Does Elmo still get thrown against the wall on occasion?”
”Mom, he pokes me with those big ol round eyes of his, of course I accidently knock him off the
bed sometimes. The only difference was that no one was around for a while that understood. You
know dad, he’d just pick him up when he checked on me and he’d throw him in the window box with
the rest of my stuff. Elmo really missed your tender loving care Mom, same as me.”
”Ahhhhh, Kendra, I’m so glad you’re here.”
”Me too mom. Good-night, sleep tight and....... hey mom.. ”
”Yes sweet daughter o mine?”
”I luv you mom!”
”I luv you more Kendra.”

How influencial was Wolfowitz's mistress in going to war in Iraq
EXCERPT:
National security risk
Wolfowitz married Clare Selgin in 1968. But they have lived separately since 2001, after allegations of an affair with an employee at the School of Advanced International Studies where he was dean for seven years.
According to one Republican Administration insider, Clare was so upset by rumours about the affair that she wrote to then President Elect Bush, saying if the story were true it could pose a national security risk.
How ironic, huh.......... 7 September 2001 the United Nations passed a resolution declaring September 21 the International Day of Peace another strange pheonmena is that Jeremy Gilley and PEACE one day studied at Royal Shakespeare Company
Peace One Day
EXCERPT:
Peace One Day was founded by English documentary filmmaker and actor Jeremy Gilley. He conceived the idea of one day a year free of conflict and war, one day of a global truce regardless of all kinds of conflict, at the 1998 Womad Music Festival. He then met with activists and world leaders to discuss the prospect of making this idea a reality, and on 7 September 2001 the United Nations passed a resolution declaring September 21 the International Day of Peace[1].

EXCERPT:
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains SHAKE with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the SPEAR in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
PEACE place
EXCERPT:
Preemptive Peace
I feel much anxiety toward the possibility of military action against Iran or North Korea. I cannot imagine how the escalation of military action would play out, how many thousands, hundreds-of-thousands, millions would loose their lives in the end.
I can imagine, however, what the end result of diplomacy and peaceful resolution would be - a world in which each and every one of us is safer, more at ease, more peaceful.
So to that end, we CANNOT remain silent!
This madness must stop!

So when i really think about when an anarchist is not protesting and is living in a capitilist society how can he truly show an example of what he believes in?
what proffesion would the ideal anarchist possess?
I believe the best job for an anarchist is a teacher or more clearly a univeristy proffesor. A teacher can do his best to pass on different ways of thinking, a teacher can also be a mentor.
do you agree?
I believe an anarchist should always be an example of his beliefs yet i have a question.
How do i run from from everything that is corrupt or truly embodies capitilism?
if i am poor, how do i not buy fastfood, how do i keep my money safe ( i say safe in a oxy moronic way ) without using a bank, etc. what is the best way to escape the capitilist trap?
i feel these matters must be addressed, i know i can ride a bike, recycle, etc. but without becoming a homeless person living without money how can i show the best example of an anarchist?
do i even deserve to call myself one?
I think i have learned something, to beat something you must work through it,
no one listens to a bum with an anarchist sign, no one listens to a stoner hippie saying "peace".
do you agree?
i have come to the conclusion i must go to school, i must become a valid member of society and maybe bend over once or twice for an asshole boss, to in the end.... win?
is this what it means to be an anarchist? to have an opinion but have it not be heard because you arent worth the breath you take?
BE LOVED OR BE FEARED, which is the anarchist??????????

alleged "anarchists" who seek to climb the ladder of capitalist society, by attending university and seeking cushy, high paying jobs, are the lowest form of scum.
anyway, you have several options:
1. become a wage-master
2. become a wage-slave
3. become self-"employed"
4. become self-sustaining
5. ?
1 is bad because it's exploitative.
2 is bad because it sustains 1.
3 is good because it's neither 1 nor 2, but it's also bad (see 4).
4 is best because it doesn't sustain the division of labor (as 3 does), which most alleged "anarchists" utterly refuse to recognize as exploitative, because they don't want to do stuff like grow their own food. naturally, they'd rather explore their individuality and live life to the fullest, but in order for them to do so, someone else must take on the burden of sustaining them, which means that this other person won't be free to explore their individuality and live life to the fullest. being self-sustaining doesn't mean having no time for such pleasures, it just means less of it for those who currently have plenty of it, and more of it for those who currently have none.
5 is ...? there may be an option that avoids the problems of 4, but i haven't found it yet. or shall i say, i've heard a thousand of them, but they all reduce to attempts be alleged "anarchists" to rationalize privilege at the expense of others.

Garth Brooks The Change video
One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
And they say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm.
(chorus)
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
and no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know that it will not change me.
This heart still believes
The love and mercy still exist.
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss.
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
and no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know that it will not change me.
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone.
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
and no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know never changes me
What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

I'm 20 years old and in the Army, and right now I'm in Iraq where I've been for a year and a half. This song expresses so much of what we must do. I've seen so many bad things, but like the song says, I believe that love and mercy still exist. To me, being in the Army is not about fighting, it's about using what I can to help others. I have dedicated the last two years of my life to helping people, and I will continue to do so. Everytime I hear this song, I am reminded of why I do what I do, and it gives me the courage and strength to wake up every morning. I will never let anything stand in the way of my duty, and I will never give up.

McGraw and Hill Criticize Government's Response to Hurricane Katrina
Couple's Comments Came During a Syndicated Radio Interview in Nashville
March 9, 2006; Written by CMT.com Staff
A routine roundtable interview with syndicated radio reporters took an unexpected political turn Wednesday (March 8) when Tim McGraw and Faith Hill sharply criticized the federal government's efforts at rebuilding the Gulf Coast region in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
The couple had already spent more than an hour talking about their upcoming tour, McGraw's next greatest hits album and other topics when they were asked to reflect on what has happened since the hurricane hit in late August. McGraw was born and raised in Louisiana. Hill is a native of Mississippi.
