Colbert On Gulf Oil Spill (VIDEO): Blackened Catfish, Anyone?



Another masterful take on the news from The Colbert Report! Sad when in 90 seconds, the fake newscast does a better job of conveying the size and magnitude of this spill - which trust me, for us folks in Louisiana and all across the Gulf Coast, is no laughing matter (still laughed at Colbert's "Wall of fire the size of Rhode Island" line of course!).

Tiger Woods Had Sex With 121 Women: 'National Enquirer'



Getting it done! How in heaven's name did we ever regard Tiger for his iron will and discipline? You know though, if he was as successful o the course as he was with all that he was doing after his 18 holes of golf each day, if he has truly become "un-sex-addicted" (if you believe in that diagnosis at all), he could be set-up for a truly historic period of success in winning every major and far-exceeding Jack's records.

AriZona Tea Boycott: NY-Based Beverage Co. Caught Up In Immigration Law



Uh-oh! Panic at their corporate headquarters I'm sure. Talk about bad luck for a company - 50 states to borrow a name from (admittedly, it probably sounds the best - Oklahoma Iced Tea? - No offense, but they picked the best match for the brand). That is, until now. When people are calling for a boycott of the state (and some really bad PR coming down), you've got to go into MAJOR damage control mode as a company, even though you have absolutely no connection to the originating events of the boycott. No time to lose to get the message out - in the media, in your advertising, and even on your bottle labels that Arizona Iced Tea is made by a New York company with a great entrepreneurial story.

Here's a great overview of the boycott calls and their impact:



And here's a story from the Rachel Maddow Show touching on Arizona-titled products and such:
