On the return of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on September 7th, both hosts teased the audience and viewers with an announcement of a huge announcement – Stewart speaking more generally about something ‘unknown’ but of epic proportions and Colbert actually referencing the online movement; both toying with our hearts and minds.

Canada was giving a gift today: we are able to watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report one hour earlier than the USA. Canadians can thank CTV for purchasing Conan to air at 11 pm on Comedy network, and by the same logic that Conan, Colbert and Stewart used for their famous “Who made… Continue reading »

Restoring Truthiness Colbert Rally – Will it happen?

TheCuriosity — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:42:56 +0000

Stephen Colbert needs to start giving the Colbert Nation projects to do whilst on holiday because as we have learned, the Nation will move on its own for its great leader, in his absence. What started a week ago from a post has turned into a mammoth Internet affair. The post in question, from Reddit:… Continue reading »

Obama’s Speech from August 31st – Now Wordled!

My favourite online tool = Wordle. It really is. Perhaps there are many better things I am missing out on, but this nifty site provides an interesting look (sometimes) at the words emphasized in a speech, or article or what ever you desire. When viewing it as a wordle, you get to see the frequency… Continue reading »

Psst.. You might be an atheist!

Recently I came across this article called “An Agnostic Manifesto: At least we know what we don’t know.” and it made me realize that there are just not enough articles, videos, dictionaries, or blogs on the internet yet explaining what agnostic means and what atheist means. By not knowing what these terms mean, the arguments the author… Continue reading »

Twitter: Be careful on what you click

I didn’t think much about clicking on tiny urls in tweets. Hey, they are pretty convenient, right? But these tiny urls can also be used to hide the site it is sending you to. Recently, I started to follow back a new follower on my twitter account . They were pretty new to twitter so I… Continue reading »

When I first came across this story on Gawker, I had to check the calendar, but nope, I did not travel through time; it is still 2010. As first reported on Mixed and Happy, the Nettleton School District has a policy that requires them to restrict certain positions in student elections by two races: black… Continue reading »

How Goldline Works and Why it is Seen as a Scam

If you’ve watched Glenn Beck you know about Goldline. Goldline is one of Glenn Beck’s sponsors. They make money when you buy their product (as most companies, of course). Glenn Beck pushes you to buy gold through his attempts to scare you and imply that gold is the only way to ensure your money is… Continue reading »

When does this man work?

TheCuriosity — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 05:29:57 +0000

Seriously. Two speeches this week – one to children, one to the nation – and another speech on Monday to Wall Street. On top of it all, he is still doing his weekly address online every Saturday morning. (I wonder when he films these and if he does more than one at a time or… Continue reading »
