Win a Chance to Share Hot Cheese with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert and a pot of hot, creamy cheese…
No, we haven't been tapping into your feverish dreams. We're telling you about a special eBay auction, launching on September 5th, which will give you the chance to bid on a fondue lunch with Stephen.
The auction ends on September 15th and 100% of the proceeds go to Stand Up To Cancer.
Be a hero and help out a great cause — and maybe get a chance to break bread (and dip it in cheese) with Stephen Colbert!

Damn!!!!! I didn't even know about this till today, is there anyway you could extend the contest? Can't? Oh, well. By the way, I agree with Adriana. I'd rather have Stephen for lunch ( I start purring). You wouldn't mind sharing, would you? He is pretty cute if you ask me.
Lots of love
Susan
Well that is nice for the Republican Elites who can afford it, but why not make a category for say every Democrat who can contribute $25 will be entered in a drawing to win lunch with Stephen?
His rich Republican friends all buy him lunch every day anyway
please go to http://www.bellevuebanker.com, read about thel financial
crisis and the real truth, no truthiness here!
Fondue….how about fon-don't Colbert?
Got this e-mail and thought how appropriate for the financial mess that has presented iteself.- Enjoy… And I agree with the premis.
I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a "We Deserve it Dividend".
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000
bona-fide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife have $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college – it'll be there
Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car – create jobs
Invest in the market – capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance – health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. and of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it…instead of
trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being
proposed by one of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every
adult U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG.
Liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington
DC.
And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because
$25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh…I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
Kindest personal regards,
Birk

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for a
laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!
May want to even flood Congress with this message!!!

Just to comment on the post below, with the aid of my calculator- 85,000,000,000/200,000,000= 425. That's $425 per person. There are no extra three zeroes.
Thanks.
My son is an honor student in 8th grade. He watches you ever night, that's how he gets great matrial for the red/blue state disccussions in Social Studies class! he would love to meet you for lunch, but would really love to see your show in person.Why does he need to wait until 18?
