Not sure if this is just in Canada
Or what's going on exactly,
But every time I try to open an embedded link to Comedy Central, nothing happens...every browser, every OS

What are they afraid of? Canadians will throw off their wintery slumber and rise up, inspired by Colbert's rapier-like wit?

Or are you all just jealous? Sans reason.
After all...we use paper ballots, and *&^%*^&% like Harper still manage to get themselves 'elected'.

Hey Brad,
Watched the show yesterday and thought you wrote the bit:) He covered all of your reporting so well but of course stopped short of evidencing the ACORN DIVERSION AS AN UN-CLEVER ATTEMPT BY THE NEW WORLD ORDER SELLOUT PUPPETS TO COVER UP THE COMPUTER ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE ELECTION SHAM THAT WILL PUT FORTH THEIR CHOSEN ILLUMINI CANDIDATE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.

My Canadian relatives were here recently. They gave me a blank look when I said Harper's a bush clone. The faux Christian Regressives are making a global grab for power. I hope the world wakes up soon.

That's weird you can't watch the videos from Comedy Central - can you watch other videos?

No more Second City for you Hosers.

Since the topic is Comedy [sort of] this is really funny:

Palin’s Wardrobe Mistake

Does she not know the Donkey is the mascot for the Democrats???

#1 Nostredummass I get the same thing, always sends me to Comedy Central. (I Like your handle btw
I also thought Colbert must have read Bradblog or spoken to Brad.
I would love to see Rick Mercer and Colbert on a show together. That would be a hoot!

I don't know if this is old or not but someone tried to arrest Rove in SF,

Rove It's very funny.

Kira on Huffpo, I think, they showed a picture of her new wardrobe and she was carrying a bag that says "Real Women Hunt Moose". Most of you may already know this but there is a blogger in Alaska who has a lot of the inside stuff on Palin.

I LOVE Mudflats! Thank god for the internets!

If you can't link to Comedy Central, try hulu.com, or surfthechannel.com. Hulu always posts The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report by the day after it airs. They have movies and lots of other shows and clips also. I am not sure you will be able to view these from Canada, but it is worth a try. FYI

Chris I can get to Comedy Central but a Comedy Central video will not open in other sites. ??
I always obediently went there... until Nostredummass asked about it.

@ Kira

Jon Newton of p2pnet (http://www.p2pnet.net/), which he runs from Vancouver Island, BC, refers to Harper as George W. Harper.

He also refers to the MSM as the lamescream media.

I find both to be very appropriate.

Progressives in Canada and the UK are seeing the same negative trends that we observe.

Tories everywhere seem to be suffering from cranial-rectal insertion syndrome. NuLabour in the UK behave more like the neocons than anything else. Gordon Brown is a Bush lap dog exactly like Tony Blair.

Has anyone else noticed that neocons are not conservatives?

The borrow and spend NuRepublicans are destroying this country. What happens when China stops lending us money? How will we bring the troops home?

I really don't like fascists. Particularly Christofascists.

Hey SillyGit, I see we're on the same page.

Thanks for the link & especially "LameScream Media!" I'll be using that.

The videos look better on the Comedy Central site anyway.

I must be needing to laugh ... anybody else wanna join me?

Photoshop Fun with McCain’s Tongue

You could try hiding your ip if you want to see these videos. Worked for me. Why Canadian IP's are being blocked is anyone's guess. Anyway, there are a number of sites that allow you to do this. Try this:
www.hidemyass.com

Thanks Adam I will try that.
Kira I am with you, I need to laugh. I remember first coming to Bradblog in early 05. Everytime something positive happened I was sure you had the Repugs and they would be put in jail. But after 4+ years of this roller coaster ride, you lose hope unfortunately. But... there are so many good people out there that eventually you will win. A good description was given to me when I lost a loved one. Think of the waves in the ocean. Just when you think all is fine another will come in and knock you out, it will go out again and you find a little peace. Another; it is like trying to crawl out of a bowl in which the sides are oiled, BUT YOU will get there...eventually.

I don't know how Brad does it but I am glad you have him.

and now for a funny site I found last night after reading bradblog and getting totally depressed...
Aussie’s Ways of Staying Sane
[snip]
* AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.
* NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots you.

Thanks Brad, I needed this laugh.

NAILED IT!!! Boy, did he do some research on THAT one. VERY impressive.
And yes, I believe he MUST be reading the BradBlog.

Well, leftisbest, in fact, Colbert IS the world's greatest living human, so he might just have known it instinctively....

Nostredummass I did some poking around the Internet(s) and found out why we can't open embedded Comedy Central videos. Apparently there is an agreement between Viacom and CTVGlobeMedia.(The CON-servative channel)

"As of June 27, 2007, CTV and The Comedy Network have exclusive Canadian rights to the entire Comedy Central library of past and current programs on all electronic platforms, under a multi-year agreement with Viacom, expanding on past programming agreements between the two channels. Canadian users attempting to visit Comedy Central websites will also be redirected to TCN's website and vise versa for American users."

For Canadians:

Anybody notice how Colbert waved goodbye with his finger? Hilarious! (Doesn't he usually use his pen?)
