Funny Video: Colbert Mocks Beck On His Restore Honor Rally
Only Colbert has the truthful tongue to whiplash Glenn Beck's bizarre arrogance with just the right touch of comedic art and campy irreverence.
From Denny: Talk about strange is as strange does. Glenn Beck decided to make a play for cult leader and martyr status by giving a speech on the same date (28 August) and same place on the Lincoln steps as the famous Dr. Martin Luther King did with his "I Have A Dream" speech. Looks like Beck had visions of grandeur.
Colbert: Besides the date, the location, the march and the threat of assassination, Glenn Beck's rally has nothing to do with Martin Luther King Jr.
Beck called it the Restore Honor rally. He and Fox News aka Liar News claimed that "well over 300,000 people attended." Liar liar, pants on fire. Actually, it was less than 85,000 - and all of them were bused in and paid to do it by Republican donors.
After Beck held his odd rally, attended by social misfits who needed their daily dose of being told what to think rather than think for themselves, it was Colbert's turn at the bat. The social site Reddit had a popular post calling for Colbert to hold his version of a Beck rally in answer. Of course, this heartfelt plea really rang Colbert's comedic ego chimes. Colbert calls his rally "Restore Truthiness."
Colbert has legions of enthusiastic fans on that annoying sell-your-privacy-to-the-highest-bidder social site Facebook. Be sure to be on the look out for "God Geese" T-shirts and coffee mugs for sale at your social site soon.

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Mocks Florida Pastor Behind Planned Koran Bonfire
Comic Jon Stewart wasted no time in analyzing the Burn a Koran Day incident that had the entire world in an uproar from every religious corner.
From Denny: Comic Jon Stewart was not at a loss of words for the ridiculous insulting stunt from Florida "pastor" Terry Jones. Jones organized the now infamous "International Burn the Koran Day" as the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approached. Of course, it backfired on him.
Stewart royally mocked Jones and his planned torching party. His comedy sidekick, Brit John Oliver had a few choice words of denunciation calling Jones a "radical, hate-spewing extremist."
"This man is f***ing crazy," Oliver said. "He doesn't represent Christianity any more than "Dr. Laura represents the United Negro College Fund."

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Comments on Gay Marriage - Californigaytion
*** Jon Stewart questions and lampoons the lame CNN news interview when the gay marriage ban was lifted by a federal ruling.
From Denny: Talk about awkward. Sometimes, when a story like the lifting of California's gay marriage ban from a federal judge is in the news - the reporter's reaction speaks more loudly than the news story. A CNN news reporter goes looking for somebody gay to ask about their reaction to California's Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage struck down by a federal judge.
So, the reporter gets the "brilliant" idea of going over to an Atlanta, Georgia "known gay bar of a twenty year standing" to interview someone. Uh, why didn't he just call any number of gay political action groups for their reaction and an interview? You know, people who are familiar with the legal wranglings on the subject - but a gay bar at three in the afternoon? How lame.
Of course, the amusing response from Jon Stewart about the odd - and very awkward - interview, "Was that an interview or a gay speed date gone horribly wrong?"

Roundup of Late Night Funnies - 2 Aug 2010
*** Check out jokes from the late night comedians about American society, funny videos from Colbert and Stewart and a few of the newest political cartoons.
From Denny: There's plenty red hot political scandals to match up with the freaking hot weather across America this week. In Gulf Shores, Alabama, they suffered a 125 degree F. heat index - whew! And I thought 110 degree F. heat index was suffering...The ethics probes continue on various House members, both Democrat and Republican. Because the Dems are in power it seems the media only wants to highlight the failings of their members. The Dems would do well to mention the Republican members facing ethics or criminal charges as well. Political corruption is definitely a well balanced "menu" in America that involves both sides of the aisle.This week the White House has their Press Secretary Gibbs singing a new tune about how the Dems will keep the House in the November election. Let's hope they are correct. Random Denny Thought: The Dems would do well to beef up their slogan beyond, "Hey! It really sucks with the Republicans who are putting you into the Poor House and plan to sell you off as slaves on the Wall Street auction block. It's bad with us - but it's a whole lot worse with the Republicans. Vote for us!" You guys need new political operatives with fresh ideas that are certainly more appealing.Speaking of political operatives, the White House ones trotted out the President onto the daytime TV set of "The View" to try and grab back the disenfranchised female audience who voted for him. Talk about controversy. The Republicans were screaming at the top of their lungs about it wasn't Presidential to attend a daytime female audience show as it cheapened the Presidency. How lame can you get? Presidents Nixon and Bush 43 already ruined what was left of respect for the Presidency. You can't blame that one on President Obama.Then the intellectual feminist crowd booed Obama practically off the stage when he quipped about The View was about the only show his wife would watch. A lot of women were outraged at his sexist remark. I just yawned. So what? The President clearly looked bored and sometimes uncomfortable in such tight quarters with so many women. He's more of a man's man, feeling better out in the fresh air playing golf. If I were President and got trotted out to the set of the sports channel ESPN you would have seen me equally bored, though I've never been uncomfortable in a room full of men.Did I really care if he went on that show? No. The show bores me and I don't watch it. I can do enough hissy fit fussing on my own. I don't need to go looking for it on the tube. All I have to do to get riled up is read the daily news - and I'm off and running with the word play on the blogs, solving all the problems and saving the world. :)Funny Videos Featured this week:Funny Video: Jon Stewart Mocks Media For Sorry WikiLeaks ReactionFunny Video: Colberts Live Tony Hayward Cam Tracking His Slow Resignation

The heavy lifting might be over, but it sounds like the heavy shoveling is just beginning.Shirley Sherrod was fired from her job at the Agriculture Department, then they said they made a mistake and offered to hire her back. Today, Gen. McChrystal asked if he could have his job back.WikiLeaks has posted over 90,000 classified documents about the war in Afghanistan. The Pentagon is outraged, the White House is furious, but British Petroleum is relieved: 'Finally, a leak we had nothing to do with.'Ford has moved ahead of Toyota in sales and they say they're not stopping until they see even better results. Not stopping? That's what screwed up Toyota.A new poll shows that Congress' approval rating is at a record low of 11 percent. The other 89 percent are going to withhold judgment until Congress actually does something.
Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel was charged with multiple ethics violations. Members of Congress were stunned. They had no idea there was more than one ethics.Budget problems are so bad in Newark, New Jersey, that the mayor has ordered the government to stop buying toilet paper for public restrooms.

He's 175 years old today." –Jay LenoHave you guys seen this show 'White House Apprentice?' It's a lot like the other 'Apprentice,' but on this one, when the boss fires you, he offers you your job back a day later.Britney Spears has been giving her support to Mel Gibson throughout the scandal, which is ironic because Mel's latest tape is called, 'Oops, I did it again.'

It was built by the same people who built the Mexican border fence.New Rule: Al and Tipper Gore can't split up the same week as Heidi breaks up with Spencer. Unless they swap.

Well, at least my first attempt at cleaning it up worked.'Even though he's not stepping down, Tony Hayward is handing over responsibility to the cleanup to an American named Bob Dudley.

Of course, the same poll found that 43 percent of Americans hate pelicans.And today at a press conference, Obama said that the government does not have better technology than BP. That's a nice thing to announce to the world, that our government has fewer resources than a company that tried to plug a hole with a 'top hat.'In fact, President Obama fired the head of the Mineral Management Services, because of lack of oversight of offshore oil rigs. It's got to be tough finding another job after that. It's like, 'I see you were head of the department in charge of preventing oil spills? And this was during the huge oil spill?'
