|
|
Steven Colbert talks to Brian Moore, the actual Socialist Party of America's candidate for president. Not only will you find out Obama is a capitalist, you will discover why the Socialist Party is not a major party.
Watch it on the Oct. 28 Colbert Report. |

Some of you might also enjoy Steven's 'interview' with Sherman Alexie, author of 'The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven'. He gets off a couple of zingers on Steven, which few guests manage. |

I think the jury is still out on this. Sarah Palin has said many many times that Obama is a socialist; Brian Moore denied it only one time. They both said it on TV where all truth is revealed but Moore is actually a socialist and should know. At this point the evidence seems to be: Yes he is a socialist 60%; No he isn't 40%. |

Sure he is. He's paying for the denunciation. Makes sense, actually. |

That's funny...I just read one of Alexie's young learner novels. Seemed like a cool cat to me. Huh. |

In European politics Obama would be on the right, and a long way from the left.

If you enjoyed that novel, you might like "Reservation Blues" (from the back cover:)
One day legendary bluesman Robert Johnson appears on the Spokane Indian reservation, in flight from the devil and presumed long dead. When he passes his enchanted instrument to Thomas-Builds-the-Fire--storyteller, misfit, and musician--a magical odysssey begins that will take them from reservation bars to small-town taverns, from the cement trails of Seattle to the concrete canyons of Manhattan. |

Actually, that's the one I just read. Good stuff. I wrote a (rather unimpressive) paper on it.
Poor Junior. |

I think he's a stronger writer when he does short stories: Lone Ranger and even better 'Ten Little Indians'. |

What do you mean Barack Obama isn't a socialist? You mean McCain and Palin lied?
No way! |
