This week on the Daily Show & Colbert Report

I grew up in the central time zone (God’s time as I like to call it).  Why God’s time?  I could watch all of David Letterman and still get seven hours of sleep.  For the past fourteen years I’ve lived in the eastern time zone which makes watching The Daily Show, some of Colbert, and Letterman a bit much with the alarm going off at 6 a.m.  The internet to the rescue!  On Friday mornings I like to catch up on the bits I missed from Colbert and the Daily Show.  Here are my favorite two from this week.

A bit called, Playing the Race Card, from the Daily Show.  Colbert does a bit called, Tip of the Hat / Wag of the Finger and the current installment had me laughing as Colbert talks about the Conservapedia.  Discipledom needs this kind of cleverness.

christian Partisanism

I saw a reference to this online community, Conservapedia, in a Time article, and kept reading a blog on Beliefnet written by Rod Dreher called, The Crunchy Con.  It can be argued that our country, and some corners of Discipledom, have become hyper partisan.  This web community, Conservapedia, is an example of the lengths some will go to discredit rather than seek truth.  You have to read this to believe it.  The blog post is called, “Conservatizing the Bible.”

Conservatizing the Bible

“The eager young men at Conservapedia are p.o.’d that the Bible might be seen as too liberal. So they’ve come up with the Wiki-style Conservative Bible Project, to make sure the Lord doesn’t go all wobbly on us.”  Click here to read more.
