this time, we promise it’s meat (Tali-buddies)

August 2021

“American troops withdrew from Kabul after 20 years in Afghanistan. In a matter of days, the Taliban wrested control over most of the country, including all the expensive stuff we left there. In their cake-walk to power, the Taliban seized American military supplies such as guns, ammunition, helicopters and combat aircraft. Normally to get that many American weapons, you have to go to Walmart.” —Stephen Colbert

“The Taliban is attempting to rebrand itself. They’re saying they were the Taliban, but now they’re the Tali-buddies. The new Taliban have promised no reprisal killings, which is not really comforting when you have to guarantee that. It reminds me of the Taco Bell ad for the Gordita Crunch Wrap – ‘this time, we promise it’s meat.’” —Stephen Colbert

of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
