Colbert Report Full EpisodesPolitical Humor & Satire Blog</a>March to Keep Fear Alive
Thanks to Dean Brian Baker's blog for this gem from the 12/16/10 Colbert Report. Yep, the hypocrisy, inanity and pure crap coming from the conservatives is unbearable.

The conservatives have never been more toxic. I wish America would 'wake up.'

I confess that I winced when in the viddy baby Jesus, in the mythical birth story, was turned into a ham. Hilarious, but in a way that conservatives and fundamentalists are unlikely to appreciate - to say the least.

By the way, note how Colbert's Jesus has gotten a hair-color job, as compared to the Jesus icon I am using in my "Weather and Whatnot" sidebar as an indicator of Jesus's birthday. It's either that, or I have the traditional [from the 50s] Scandinavian Jesus, as opposed to the Jewish, Middle Eastern Jesus of history.

Here is text of the ending of the viddy [Remember that comedian Stephen Colber 'plays' a conservative TV-show host in his show in order to satarize conservative punditry]:
It hurts me to say this, folks, but if Jesus really is a liberal, it's time to get the Christ out of Christmas [the face of Christ in a graphic behind Colbert changes to that of Frosty the Snowman].

Now, listen, listen, listen, you know me, you know me, I'm no fan of the term Xmas, or X-anything. I make my kids play Christ-box 360. And if they break a bone, they get Christ-rays. But it is time to take baby Jesus out of the manger. Replace him with something that is easier to swallow. How about a honey-baked ham? [Baby Jesus in a graphic changes to that of a baked ham in the manger.]

Because if this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor either we've got to pretend that Jesus is just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that he commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.

More obstacles revealed in effort to make Mather cottages habitable

Mold, asbestos and lead paint, oh my! The 35 cottages out at Mather Community Campus seem closer to being condemned today than ever again being inhabited. But the expectation that some of the cottages can and will be restored to house homeless families before spring abides. A report in the Sacramento Bee tells us ... Some [of the cottages] have extensive mold, a county analysis showed. It's not clear how the county planned to deal with lead paint and asbestos, [Rancho Cordova] Councilwoman Linda Budge said. Still, hope of getting some of the cottages in shape such that homeless families can move in is in play, though not before New Year's day.  Word of where the money might come from to make needed restorations has not been forthcoming, though it is known that the Winter Shelter Task Force hopes to hold a fundraiser to boost the pool of funds to meet the need to keep homeless people warm and safe. At the end of October, placing families, totalling 105 individuals, was

Ron Russell and Summerhills Realty

Readers of this blog should be aware that I am receiving some information that Summerhills Realty and someone named Ron E. Russell is using this blog as a reference in an effort to scam homeless people.  Be aware that Mr. Russell and his business is cited as a possible perpetrator of fraud by a website called Ripoff Report .  See this webpage .  Also, there is this claim of fraud against Ron Russell Properties at the website BizClaims - Latest scams, frauds and complaints . Please be aware that the information of being 'ripped off'' may be coming from only one source is coming from multiple sources, with perhaps as many as twelve persons/couples now pursuing legal action after paying thousands of dollars for services and receiving none of the services that were promised/contracted. While I know neither Mr. Russell nor Summerhills, I do know that an inordinate number of “in links” from readers of this blog have come via summerhillsrealestate.com for quite some time.  I

In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day

Calvin [a "green hat" in Unfriendly Park] makes the argument for continued incompetent management. Hobbes represents me — only, in real life, I don't have that good a coat . In an act of Collective Punishment, Loaves & Fishes closes its park in the morning on New Year’s Day In one respect — and only one — that I can think of, Loaves & Fishes is NOT hypocritical: The management hates the way America is run and wants to turn it into a backward communist country . Consistent with that, Loaves & Fishes’ management runs its facility like a backward communist country. The People’s Republic of Loaves & Fishes. A seemingly minor thing happened on New Year’s Day. A couple of people smoked a joint in Loaves & Fishes’ Friendship Park and one of the park directors, or both of them, determined, at about 10am, that, in retribution, they would punish all the homeless there by closing the park for the day. This is something the managers of the park do all the
