Colbert again refers to Oregon as "California's Canada"
On the Colbert Report episode 2016 last night, biased republican commentator Stephen Colbert once again referred to Oregon as "California's Canada." Of course, Mr. Colbert offers no logical reasons as to why Oregon should be compared to our neighbor to the north. Last time I checked, we didn't have free health care, and I still have to wait until I'm 21 to legally have a beer. I have asked Senator Ron Wyden to demand a formal apology from Mr. Colbert, and I suggest you do the same. What's next, calling Colorado Utah's New Mexico? Wait. That doesn't make sense. You know what I mean.

You do realize that the Colbert Report is a satire, right? It follows The Daily Show.
And you know, just to kinda assert that I'm not an idiot, if you're trying to be a satirist yourself, you don't take it far enough. You don't take the stereotypical "x watch" language far enough to make it proper parody. If this is parody, it's not strong enough. If it's not parody, you're an idiot.
I think Jon Stuart himself summed it up the best- When asked on Crossfire if he should be held accountable for the result of his psuedonews show, he commented that network was entitled *Comedy* Central and that his lead-in show was puppets making crank calls (Crank Yankers).
Maybe you should go jihad on Mr. Colbert like our ever-so-reasonable fundamentalist friends on the beach.
Frankly I don't care what he calls Oregon. I'm more concerned that he killed a panda.

He shouldn't kill pandas or make fun of Oregon. I'm now going to watch his show and get really mad.
And now I'm on the correct name, so I can use my blog to be even angrier at this menace to society.
Speaking as one of the heroes, you can take your bark-chewing, enviro-Nazi, femi-stapo tactics and shove them where the sun don't shine. We're on to you, buddy, and it won't be long until you're either "on notice" or "dead to me."
And if you start messing with "Stephen Colbert's Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne, A Tek Jansen Adventure," so help me there will be hell to pay.
Oregon can either be California's Canada or Washington's Mexico, take your pick. By the way, these are not my choices but Colbert's himself. He said it while profiling Oregon's fighting 5th Congressional district.
Personally, I'd choose the Canada thing.
milo....i don't think he get's it
Funny blog! I like it a lot so far and hope to see more. Added it to Stumble Upon because it deserves the views.
he refers to or as california's canada because he is using the stereotype of californians as ethnocentric people with their heads up their own asses. implying that california considers itself its own country, in effect oregon would be california's canada. i find it funny and maybe you need to check your sense of humor. why should anyone have to apologize for something so incredibly trivial.
Oregon is totally California's Canada.
Don't you feel a little Canadian about Washington, kid?
Maybe you're just not old enough to get the jokes yet. It's sort of a "show for grown ups."
That's ridiculous! Colbert is wrong on this one - Oregon is not California's Canada. Oregon is Washington's Mexico!
Love this blog, hey isn't it time for a new report? We mustn't get complacent, or we'll be eaten by crocodiles! (or conservative commentators) -- the Crocodile Hunter's Dad
