  1. Deep Thought says:

    That’s funny. I didn’t know he was balding.

  2. Rontu says:

    Steagle Cobeagle? Is that you?

  3. Igloo McCoy says:

    And suddenly, bald eagles aren’t endangered any more.

  4. yikes says:

    Is this something that you would understand if you watched his show?

  5. Kitteh_Kat_Celia says:

    Truthiness!

  6. Squiggly says:

    {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZJKmPa42PM}
    Hope the link works. Does it look like a scene from Birds to anyone else?

  7. The Steve says:

    Yikes! So thats what happens if you do the nasty with Lady Liberty!

  8. WillySTL says:

    That was funny… something he would do on his own show…

    Win!

  9. Blarg says:

    Except that the eagle has always stood for patriotism (as long as we accepted it to have that meaning), whereas Stephen Colbert stands for exactly opposite what he says on his show. It’s an interesting tactic, certainly, but living a lie does get old after a while.

    • Igor the Vigorous says:

      Stephen Colbert uses satire to express comedic impressions.
      There’s nothing wrong with that, and he’s not anti-American.
      Just because he jokes about America and plays a character that provides people with, occasionally, surprisingly insightful comments on today’s culture and our logic, doesn’t mean he’s not as much a patriot as a guy who stands by the flag armed and ready to shoot the first person that violates his right to think he controls the world.

      • Blarg says:

        I never said that Colbert wasn’t patriotic, just that what he says on his show (the overt “republican” tones) are a lie and not what he truly believes. For example, he states often that he’s out to “bring down the Obama Presidency.” RIGHT.

        You can call it satire, I still call it lying. But I did figure at least one person would accuse me of calling him unpatriotic, so thank you for confirming my assumption. :D

        • bitter troll says:

          and those people on the soap opera’s they not really cheating on each others spouses with each other, no they liars too!

          • Blarg says:

            Then why is there a magazine that reports on what the soap opera characters are doing in the shows!??!!??!?!???!!?!???!!?!??!!!?!??!!?

            >.>

        • lowly grunt says:

          How long did it take for you to figure out he was a satirist? :;-):

        • Igor the Vigorous says:

          “Except that the eagle has always stood for patriotism (as long as we accepted it to have that meaning), whereas Stephen Colbert stands for exactly opposite of what he says on his show.”
          You realize that, grammatically, you say that the eagle stands for patriotism, while Stephen Colbert stands for the opposite of what he says on his show. This implies that what he says on his show is patriotic, and since Stephen Colbert doesn’t truly mean what he says, he cannot be represented by the bald eagle because he is not patriotic enough- because he doesn’t mean the “patriotic things” he says.
          It’s actually a pretty logical interpretation of what you were saying, really. Sorry if you don’t approve of satire, but it’s funny and has quite a few good jokes about the world today. Just because he pretends to be something he isn’t (pretty openly, actually) and makes jokes about it doesn’t mean he’s lying.
          It’s called long-term character acting.

        • FaileV says:

          yep satire is totally a synonym for lying. everyone knows swift is such a hypocrite for not eating babies like he said we should.

        • Really? You call satire lying? What are actors, pathological liars?

          FFS.

          • Jane St.Clair says:

            And on a spin off of a show that bills itself as “fake news”. I don’t think they were trying to get one over on anyone.

            • Kurt says:

              I miss their old slogan “When news breaks, we fix it” Was watching night at the roxbury the other day and saw that billboard in the background and had a little chuckle.

    • Kelly says:

      yes, because criticizing your country means you hate it, just like criticizing your child does.

      • Blarg says:

        Never said he hated it. That’s TWO!

        • bitter troll says:

          you means something not true on a comedy central news show???? OMG

          • Blarg says:

            Jon Stewart actually does have a slight degree of truth within the jokes, you just have to pay close attention to see it. ; )

            • Igor the Vigorous says:

              Slight. However, you can’t blame him for his bias, he does call his own show a “fake news show.”

              • Eric-in-STL says:

                Yeah, it’s his show, and it’s comedy. It’s not real, so therefore Stewart and his writers can take whatever bias they want. It’s not like he’s being held to any sort of journalistic integrity. Although sometimes it’s actually funnier just telling the truth of the story and let the joke make itself.

                • Igor the Vigorous says:

                  And frequently, that’s what Jon does. I’m not sure the poor man is ever going to retire.
                  By the way, Sean Hannity gave up criticizing Stewart. Win!

                  • Eric-in-STL says:

                    Hannity was fighting a losing battle. Pundit vs. comedian? Comedian is gonna win every time.

                    • Igor the Vigorous says:

                      Plus the fact that Hannity is an asshat who didn’t even read or watch what Stewart says, whereas Stewart replayed both criticisms of him by Hannity on the show to the audience.

                      • froofrou says:

                        I think “asshat” is a bit strong for Hannity. It fits O’Reilly, but I’ve never thought of Hannity as that big a trad. I rather enjoy his (radio) show.

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          Admittedly, I don’t know too much about Hannity.
                          I’ve only seen the occasional clip here, but man does he come across like a dick when he insults one of my favorite funnymen just cause the company did something ridiculous and dedicated an entire segment each day to advertising for coffee.

                        • froofrou says:

                          You’ve illustrated one of my main pet peeves with people (please don’t take this personally).
                          -
                          If you’ve never watched, how in the world can you possibly know if the person is being taken out of context? This is why I may tease about Keith Olberman, but I’ve never just out and out said he’s a liar or made any other judgements about him. I dont’ watch him, so I’m not qualified to comment about him. The same goes for 90% of Rush criticizers. I guarantee you that they haven’t heard more than a few minutes (maybe, at best, an hour) of the show, and can’t really see the forest for the trees.
                          -
                          You may now resume your previously scheduled LOL.

                        • Igor the Vigorous says:

                          No offense taken.
                          However, I’d advise him to be careful who he insults… If he goes after another comedian, I’m going to get out the PSG-1.

                        • bitter troll says:

                          when did green lantern get a news show?

                        • froofrou says:

                          I could say the same thing about our president threatening a certain radio host with a beating administered by a lackey, but I won’t :-)

                        • Eric-in-STL says:

                          No. He’s an asshat.

                        • froofrou says:

                          I’ve never watched Hannity’s tv show, so I can’t really comment on that. He may very well be an asshat on TV. I just like listening to his radio show, and he seems to stay away from asshattery there.

      • Char says:

        Steven Colbert, the person, isn’t living a lie. He’s playing a character. Some may even call it… acting.

        Steven Colbert, the character, is a satiric representation of right wing pundits. Specifically Bill O’Reilly.

    • Danbala says:

      There are a lot of people here who can express themselves rather well, whereas you have a very pink avatar.

  10. vandalfan says:

    I believe the eagle in the photo should have its beak wide open, shreiking truthiness.

    • Igor the Vigorous says:

      Yes, in fact, as the resident dragon of PK, I shall launch a formal petition to the King of Bald Eagles to have his peasant (displayed here, pre-burnination) open his beak and screech TRUTHINESS!

  11. Eric-in-STL says:

    On a serious note, this bird is one of the primary symbols of America, yet they don’t get treated with that sort of respect. It’s odd to think that a bird actually represents a nation. The eagle isn’t actually a patriot. It’s a bird. I saw a couple of them at a visit to Grant’s Farm yesterday and they really were awesome birds. There was a sign about why they don’t fly away: the eagles they have were injured at some point and can’t fly anymore. :(

  13. bitter troll says:

    now bitter troll goes home, has day off.

  14. Lancer says:

    This might be one of the Eagles from the National Eagle Center at Wabasha MN. I’d guess it was Angel because it hasn’t got quite as much black spots on its head as Colombia or Harriet. If it was in a ceremony, it probably was one of them, but it might just be a random eagle.
