How will I ever get caught up now that I'm finally feeling better? I can't do a marathon writing session. That would take me into the wee hours of the morning, I would be over-tired and probably would eat junk food to stay awake and then I would get sick again. So, I'll just write what I can, when I can and keep it short. So...
Stephen told us not to Google Rusty Colbert. So I won't. There is an easy fix for the Fiscal Cliff problem. We just need to mint a Trillion Dollar Coin. Yeah, right. And then someone gives that coin to their grandson who puts it in a piggy bank and there it sits until that kid goes to college. Nope, that's not going to help.
Papa Bear (Bill O'Reilly) put his foot in his mouth with comments about Asians. Apparently he does not understand what stereotyping means. But he does understand the intricacies of logical thinking. He said Asians are not liberal. He said they are hard working. Therefore, and this is slick on his part, Liberals are not hard working, meaning they are lazy. Score one for Papa Bear.
Of course, Stephen is no saint in this department either. He fell into the same traps as Papa Bear. Good thing there are good, and by good I mean excellent, attorneys working for Comedy Central.
The guest on January 7 was Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia fame. If you have never visited Wikipedia, I would ask what planet you are from. Sorry, that was uncalled for. I apologize. Here, look at this page about elephants if you need a refresher about Wikipedia. Wikipedia has 19 billion page views a month and Jimmy Wales said they want to expand it worldwide to make it available to everyone. Growth in the Developing World is what he said (if I remember correctly).

Food or Soap
So, I've been thinking about Thursday's show. Of course Coldplay was on and so if you didn't watch The Colbert Report then, go watch it online, you know, at Colbert Nation. If you did watch, you learned that since Coldplay has 7 Grammys and Stephen has 1 Grammy, they each have an average of 4 Grammys. Way to go Stephen Colbert!
Then there was the Tip of the Hat Wag of the Finger. You decide which was the tip and which the hat. It seems that Tea Party Nation, a For Profit grass roots group, emailed all 30,000 of its members asking them to take the following pledge:
"I, an American small business owner, part of the class that produces the vast majority of real, wealth producing jobs in the country, hereby resolve that I will not hire a single person until this war against business and my country is stopped."

Well, isn't that special? It kind of reminds me of the logic of that bumper sticker you often see around town: The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Yeah, wait - no, that doesn't make sense. If you choose to stagnate your own business, well, that's kind of stupid, isn't it? How can you expect anything to improve? Oh, maybe that's the plan. Run everything into the ground and then point to it and say look how bad it is.
Stephen expressed it best when he said, "Something must be done. That something ... nothing."
And then Bill O'Reilly, Papa Bear as he is known, has a new book out, "Pinheads and Patriots." I don't know much about football teams and at first I mistakenly thought it was a sports book. But never mind about that. It seems there's a deal to send his book over to the troops serving in Afghanistan. And it seems like some got burned. And someone posted a photo of it with this comment:
"Some jerk sent us two boxes of this awful book instead of anything soldiers at a remote outpost in Afghanistan might need, like, say food or soap."
Well, there you go. The very people who are over fighting for our Constitutional Right to Free Speech practiced that very same Free Speech over in Afghanistan. Yea for those brave Patriots saying what they think. Bill O'Reilly must be very proud of them.

Is Your Refrigerator Running?
Before we discuss whether or not your refrigerator is running (and whether you need to stop it), a little bit about Papa Bear i.e. Bill O'Reilly.
Bill O'Reilly recently had footage on his program on FOX about the protesters in Madison, Wisconsin. Mike Tobin was reporting that supposedly they were getting out of hand. Both were hinting at the possibility of protesters being bussed in. (Now I'm not talking about Governor Walker planting troublemakers, he merely was thinking about that plan.) Bill O'Reilly ran the footage while Mike Tobin talked.
Interestingly enough, there in Madison, Wisconsin, in the cold winter, were palm trees lining the streets of Madison. I hope all of you realize that Wisconsin shares a border with Canada, so as far as palm trees growing in Wisconsin? Nah, I don't think so.
But Stephen explained it this way. O'Reilly got the film footage mixed up with something else. As he put it, "Video comes in. Video goes out. Never a miscommunication." But the real reason there were palm trees in Madison? The palm trees were being bussed in to Madison.
That brings us to the title of this post. If you've been paying attention, Governor Walker of Wisconsin is trying to bust Unions in Wisconsin. His reason for doing so is that he says it is necessary for financial reasons. However, he was recently pranked with a fake phone call where he explained that he wants to eliminate Unions.
Stephen had a short clip of Lawrence O'Donnell on his show "The Last Word" stating that "Republican legislators in Wisconsin authored a bill that would prohibit prank calls." That would mean kids could no longer call a random phone number, ask if the refrigerator was running, and then tell the person they had better go catch it.
It is Senator Mary Lazich and Representative Mark Honadel that are pushing the bill. Stephen says they have strong support from Ben Dover, Seymour Bush and Adolph Oliver Bush.

Bear Belly
Good thing Stephen wasn't in Hayward, Wisconsin on Thursday night. A bear, that's right, a bear, meandered into a grocery store and headed for the beer cooler. He seemed happy to just be in the cooler. DNR tranquilized him and got him out of there. Most likely he was underage because he did not drink any beer while he was there.
Stephen is not a fan of bears. They scare him. Surprising for someone who often talks about Papa Bear.
How did that bear know where the beer cooler was? Did anyone card him? Was he planning on stocking up for the long winter? Will Stephen even mention this on his program? Darn, probably not. I think he is on vacation for a week. What? Vacation? That means there is the possibility that he is in Wisconsin since that is a wonderful place to take a vacation, what with the lakes and the trees and the fishing and the wildlife and the things of that nature.
Noooooooooooo!
