"To comply with the World Bank's conflict of interest policy, Wolfowitz had Riza transferred to the State Department, given a $60,000 raise, a promotion, and guaranteed positive performance reviews to avoid conflict of interest. What's next? Bombing the s**t out of a country in order to help it?"--Jon Stewart
"On the tube there I had the 'Live Desk with Martha McCallum' on Fox News. I was really impressed with her profile of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Now, Romney has been under a lot of scrutiny due to his religion. Gallup poll found that 66% of Americans said they weren't ready for a Mormon president. But yesterday, Romney laid our fears to rest when Martha asked him to name his favorite novel [on screen: Romney answering L. Ron Hubbard's 'Battlefield Earth']. Battlefield Earth. We have nothing to worry about, folks. Romney's clearly not a Mormon. He's a Scientologist. And we all know they make excellent leaders [on screen: John Travolta's character saying while others were learning to spell, he was being trained to conquer galaxies]. Think how easy conquering Iraq would be next to a galaxy." --Stephen Colbert
A magisterial collection.
An emotional roller coaster.
Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s
Last Night On Earth
and Orwell’s 1984.
