Earlier today, I had predicted that Stephen Colbert would discuss the escaped Cobra over at the Bronx Zoo on tonight's episode. But he did not. But Jon Stewart did. Therefore, two points for the snake, one point for Jon Stewart, zero points for Stephen Colbert and zero points for me.
Interestingly enough, he did talk about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.
WGBH American Experience - Triangle Fire
Daily Kos - Triangle: Remembering the Fire
Cornell University - The Triangle Factory Fire ~ 100 Years Later
It's been 100 years since that tragedy. That tragedy just naturally led to Stephen talking about the Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, and Walker's decision to strip teachers and other public union members of their collective bargaining rights.
Scapegoat found!
Tonight's guest was Roger Moore, oops, Stephen meant Michael Moore. Easy mistake, or was it? When Stephen then mentioned James Bond, it made me think that it was an intentional mistake. Michael Moore talked with Stephen about the importance of Unions in building a middle class in this country. Such things as vacation, pension, and the ending of using children as factory workers are just a few of the important concepts we can thank the Unions for.
And when Michael Moore explained that Stephen was a tool of Viacom, Stephen looked right into the camera and corrected him.
"I'm a Proud tool of Viacom!"
