fauxtography – The staging, tampering, directing, Photoshopping, etc., of news photographs. They may look like news, but they're not. Several major news organizations have been burned lately by war zone photographers eager to make a name for themselves — or at least a few bucks.

What's with the serious lack of Colbert Report t-shirts and other truthiness things at the comedy central store? I think someone (comedy central) is not respecting the man lincoln would have watched. You should call them out.

Love the show!

I will never doubt you again. I just saw an hour long program on National Geographic Channel, describing numerous bloodthirsty attacks on humans….by bears!!!

I guess you really do know what you are talking about. The next NG Channel program: Man-attacking Monkeys! Oh God, another thing to worry about!!!!

Cuba has the best human rights record in the western hemisphere, with the possible exception of Iceland. There has certainly been no Cuban equivalent of shameful episodes in my own country's history leading to deaths of aboriginals.

There have been no corroborated charges of extrajudicial executions, torture, disappearances since day one. Can your country say the same? (Well, yes, they can say it til they're blue in the face, but it won't be true.) There are no homeless. (Did you even know there are economic human rights? Google the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.)

To be brief, surely an astute observer, which I consider you to be, has noticed a conspiracy to prepare the ground for another invasion try — such as Bolton's charge that Cuba was developing bioweapons, which Powell had to retract when he got back to town. In such circumstances, shouldn't you have someone do a little research?
