Surviving the writer’s strike
The only shows I watch are “Cops” and “The Colbert Show”. “Cops” doesn’t have writers, so it’s still airing. But I needed my daily dose of the man who will lead our Nation to victory, so I bought his book I Am America, and So Can You!
It’s pretty damn funny.
I especially liked the line “Upper-middle class is a meaningless term created by the Upperclass to keep the Middle class from joining with the Lower class when the revolution comes.”
And for you Chinaphiles in StinkFight land, the disclaimer on the back of the book reads:
WANING! Several reportages of illegal produced issues of this book from Glorious Peoples Republic of China stealing into bookstores. Do not! Buy only likely copies only authorized STEPHEN COLBER’S I AM AMERICA AND SO ARE YOU books like this one itself!
-Yours, U.S.A. Publisher

WARNING SHOPPERS:
beware next time you head out for a sale on lard.
People began lining up for a sale before dawn when a Carrefour store in Chongqing offered a discount Saturday on large jugs of cooking oil, an essential for much Chinese cooking. When the doors opened, a stampede ensued and three people were killed while more than 30 were injured; the Chinese Commerce Ministry responded Monday by ordering a ban on limited-time sales promotions.
