Fremde Frau July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 I'm surprised that Pelosi will be on the show. (Or maybe it was some conservative rumor I heard a while back, that Democrats were advised to avoid Colbert.) JR seems like a fascinating person. I can't wait for that interview and to see how he spars with "Stephen." Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11047-the-colbert-report-week-of-72114/#findComment-203732

Fremde Frau July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 Thank you for your service, Stephen. Now I cannot unsee that shirtless image of you and Putin. Nancy Pelosi is so inarticulate on these shows; her nerves seem to get the better of her, and that makes it hard to watch her. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11047-the-colbert-report-week-of-72114/#findComment-220442
sadiegirl July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 I wish just once someone had the guts to say (when asked 'are you going to raise my taxes?' as Stephen did of Pelosi last night) 'Yes, I will. You are making a shit load of money. Yes, you've worked hard but you got where you are by the opportunities that this country has given you and now it's time to pay back. Because god forbid that we actually ever say out loud, that yes, your taxes need to be raised. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11047-the-colbert-report-week-of-72114/#findComment-222110

Victor the Crab July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 Wouldn't it be better if California just did away with public ballot initiatives, so that you don't have selfish opportunistic fucks like Timothy Draper offer up crap like breaking up California?

Fremde Frau July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 I love Silicon Vally's "state bird" and that analogy of the tupperware container. (But, seriously, could we seal away the gun nuts in Texas? That could make me a believer in public ballot initiatives.) Draper's from Silicon Valley, isn't he? He seems untroubled by detaching himself from the needs of what would become the poorest state in the country. That was a nice story about the Lowe's employees, but it's absurd for conservatives to then suggest that, because of anecdotes like these, government programs are unnecessary. I remember how Jim DeMint kept returning to that point during his Daily Show interview. I wish the GOP and "real American" Tea Partiers would actually listen to stories like Oscar's. But no, it's either "they're lazy moochers stealing from hard-working Americans!" or "they're taking jobs from us would-be hard-working Americans!" Make up your mind, assholes. Better yet, shut up and open your hearts and minds to the actual people you are demonizing. You may realize that stories like Oscar's are what the whole notion of the American Dream is all about. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11047-the-colbert-report-week-of-72114/#findComment-226360
attica July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 You know, California has been ungovernable since forever. But I notice nobody ever thought to break it up when the Rs were in charge. It seriously pisses me off how Democratic governance is always seen as illegitimate, to be gotten rid of, to be impeached. Your side lost, Draper.

dusang July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 I know Colbert is a little.. impertinent with all of his guests but that interview with the douchecanoe Draper was pretty harsh.

M. Darcy July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 I'm not an expert on CA geography but as soon as he said if you are in Rhode Island, you can be in another state in 20 minutes, I immediately thought - well, that's true in California also since it borders three other states. Unless he meant you can drive through the entire state in 20 minutes. But I'm probably thinking more about that statement then he did. And, seriously 6 new states? What's wrong with just dividing it in half? Not that I think you should divide California up at all.

Sharpie66 July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 Well, if they divided it in half, then the rich techies in Silicon Valley would be saddled with having to pay for the people in Central CA, and that just wouldn't work (for the techies, not the poorer people in Central CA, I mean). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11047-the-colbert-report-week-of-72114/#findComment-227987

I need to know if the G-force would kill you en route, or how it works. I thought he said LA to San Francisco in 30 minutes. I found it interesting that the pie in the sky thing Stephen said he wanted was wireless electricity, which is what Nikola Tesla -- after whom Musk's car company is named -- was working on at his Wardenclyffe lab on Long Island, where Musk just donated $1 million to help fund a museum there. I wonder if Stephen knew that and brought up wireless electricty as a segue or if it was coincidence.
