Colbert Report 11/12/2009: BEST SPORT REPORT EVER!!!

Here is the clip from last night's Colbert Report, where his Sport Report (pronounced SPOR ruh-POR) talks about a scandal involving the Indian Cricket team, and its coach's unusual instructions, as well as some good old-fashioned American trash talking with the Canadians over speedskating.

NYT: America's Defining Choice

Nicholas Kristof's column today had a very telling quote from an OBGYN in Oregon, Dr. Linda Harris, as she talks about a woman that died of cervical cancer and left behind a 13-year old daughter:

"People talk about waiting lines in Canada," Dr. Harris added. "I say, well, at least they have a line to wait in."

Two Columns in Today's Washington Post

Washington Post's progressive columnist, Ruth Marcus, and conservative columnist, Kathleen Parker, both have very good columns in today's paper. Marcus writes about all the lies being presented as facts on the healthcare legislation that passed in the House Saturday night and Parker writes about the heinous ways in which China violates human rights to maintain their one-child policy. Both columns got me thinking and I hope they generate a great deal of thought with you too.

NYTimes.com: Krugman: Paranoia Strikes Deep

Paul Krugman writes in this morning's New York Times about the GOP Press Conference at the Capitol last week and makes one very accurate point about the GOP response (or lack thereof):

"What all this shows is that the G.O.P. has been taken over by the people it used to exploit. "

Hi Pot, I'm Kettle. And I'm calling the shots now...

NYT: Chris Christie Confidential

Great column in today's New York Times written by a liberal childhood friend of Chris Christie. Although the line about how Christie tends to see things as black-and-white bothers me because it sounds too much like Dubya, if the rest of the column is true, there is hope for a Christie administration.
