From the Pork Barrel: "High Tech Lynching"

* Hey, look! It's the film adaptation of that Americans for Herman Cain email from the other day. Big premiere in Iowa next week!

* Herman Cain at the Americans for Prosperity conference today: "I am the Koch brothers' brother from another mother!" I feel bad for the janitor tasked with cleaning the vomit off the floor at these things.

* Cain's harassment settlement was signed in September, 1999. Or 9/99 if you will. Ye, he is truly the Chosen One.

* John Boehner says the new debt plan will include new tax revenues. Apparently, he's figured out a way to tax toddlers.

* Senate Democrats figure out brand new way to not pass jobs bill.

* Fox News and the New York Post offer proof that the Occupy Wall Street movement is populated solely with mentally-disturbed erratic homeless people. Just as we always suspected!

Stephen Colbert on Wisconsin's Senator Recall Election

It's really hard to overstate how important it is for Wisconsin residents to vote in Tuesday's state senate recall elections. Nothing less than the very core of what it means to be a working-class Wisconsinite is on the line here. So, every registered Wisconsin voter who can possibly make it out to the polls has to do everything within his or her power to get out there and vote. For the good of the great state of Wisconsin.

Remember, it's this upcoming Tuesday, August 9th, and the polling stations are just across the border in Minnesota…

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30/10:30c.

Anonymous Hacks Colbert

During last Thursday's Colbert Report, many viewers noticed a Guy Fawkes mask (a trademark of the hacking group Anonymous) briefly superimposed over Stephen's face. Well, on last night's show, Stephen revealed he'd been hacked by Anonymous, joining such victims as Americans for Prosperity, which is the conservative group that backed Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and should not be confused with Americans for Prop Scarcity, my minimalist theater troupe.
