Two jam-packed days in a row

The Colbert Report - 8/14 - Stephen wants to put Jon Stewart on notice, but his card isn't ready, so he's calling Jon Stewart out.  The Jon drops by the show.  And Stephen puts a Heraldo Rivera mustache on Jon, which was funny.  Stephen tells you how to keep your privacy online.  The Special Guest is Ramesh Ponnuru who wrote a book called A Party of Death about the Democrat party. 

The Daily Show - 8/15 - The show starts off with the Republican Senator and possible presidential candidate George Allen and his weird diatribe against some guy who he didn't think was an American Citizen and stuff.  Of course this was taken out of context, but it looks like this guy is the Republicans Howard Dean, he might have good ideas, but he doesn't have that inner part of his brain that says don't say that before he does.  Jon then does a Cheney impersonation, which is always funny.  Dan Bakkedahl does a special report on a pimp-tax.  And you KNOW it's Hard out here for a Pimp.  The Special Guest is Samuel L. Jackson star of the upcomming movie Snakes on a (*muttafuckin*) Plane.  Which I want to see.

The Colbert Report - 8/15 - Mike Wallace is like Hitler, but without the mustache.  An All You Need to Know sketch, in which Stephen blew up a condom like a balloon which then blew up in his face, in which he almost lost it.

What's New Now - 8/4 - So I'm a little late listening to this one, so the news is going to be slightly old, but that's okay.  Start of by pimping some sister shows, such as Gear Log, which I'm going to start listening to as well.  I've become a podcast whore.  Stars off with some Black Hat stuff, but the next episode should talk more about it.  Good talk about broadband vs. dial up.  I know when I got Lace's parents to switch over to cable (back when we were dating and Lace still lived there) they loved it and understood why I was so excited about it.

What's New Now - 8/8 - Patrick was flown to NY so they could do a live WNN, which was pretty cool so they could talk a bit about Def Con - a hacker convention.  It sounds really really cool, but don't use a laptop during it.  Also, some talk on how Hard Drives are fixed when they crash.  Speaking of which, I really need to back up my digital pictures.  Like soon.  And some talk of the weird digital bunny that will talk to you.  Yeah, it's weird. 

TWiT - Episode 66 - Dvorak, Robert, and Brett somebody, who's a newbie TWiT.  Dvorak really hates the list of greatest PCs of all time complaining most of them aren't PCs.  The Apple II was the number one, and no matter what you think about it being a PC or not, it is probably the best computer of all fricken time, lasted for years and you probably can still find a school somewhere that is still using one.  Some talk of the AOL search database fiasco where they released all the information.

Geekdrome - Episode 38 - There is special guests in this show, the guys who recorded the theme song.  They both liked Ricky Bobby, but Dan liked it enough to recommend it for theater and Jon said it was only a rental.  They both liked the new Carrell movie, but I forget the name of it (Something Sunshine.)  Dan's going to a Playboy party and apparently going to just stare "stalkerish."  I learned a new TLA today, the good 'ole NRB - No Reason Boner.

Basic Brewing Radio - 8/17/2006 - Posted early because of Jame's scheduled.  Very weird is that his guest talked about partial Extract boils, which is something that I read an article on earlier today.  Turns out it was the author of the article, very interesting.

Nightmares and Dreamscapes - The Road Virus Heads North - An interesting episode with a painting that follows the character (a scary book writer, kind of like King himself) and kills people.  I didn't quite get the ending though.  It probably was some allusion or allegory to the colon cancer that he probably has, but I'm not sure if I'm right.

30 Days - Immigration - This show, brought to you by Morgan Spurlock of SuperSize Me fame, takes a person with strongly held personal or political beliefs and forces them to live with the exact opposite for 30 days.  In this one a Minute Man Border Patrol Vigilante lives with a family of illegal immigrants.  It's an interesting show, and one of the most interesting debates that I think our country is having right now, one of the few political debates out there that is not only polarizing, but actually matters (as opposed to, say, gay marriage which really doesn't matter.)

**** Music Reviews ****
Ozma - Rock and Roll Part Three - The best thing about this band is that they sound exactly like Weezer.  The worst thing is that they sound EXACTLY like Weezer (so much so that Lace thought it was Weezer.  So if you like Weezer and want more music like them (which I do and I do) check 'em out.  If you aren't a Weezer fan stay away ... far away.  Seriously the guy even sounds like Cumo.  But I did enjoy the album.  But don't take my word for it, AllMusic.com says almost the same thing.
