Stewart's Speech
I think the guy makes some good points. Sad that we seem to need a comedian to point out how overblown we've gotten and how we need to tone it down.

Too bad Colbert doesn't have the brains god gave a beetle and even less judgement. 

God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.

What a strange country the US of A, where the news and political debates are on the comedy central channel and the satire and comedy is on FOX news. 

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.

We need a "Duh" emoticon.
I realize this, by why do you hold that opinion?

Re: The Rally for Sanity
Virtually all that I hear from that man is unfunny and politicaly whacky. When he addressed our government it was supposed to use comedy as a metaphor, it flopped. At least Jon Stewart attempted to use reason at his rally to let people know that yes times are tough but that they can get better. Yes I realize Colbert was supposed to be a satirical counterpoint to Stewart, a waste of time IMO.

Re: The Rally for Sanity
Colbert is actually supposed to be a satirical counterpart to the O'reilly's and Becks of the world. He's meant to satire the conservative Talking Heads on the networks, which (IMO of course) he does rather wellVic wrote:Virtually all that I hear from that man is unfunny and politicaly whacky.

I can't stand nothing dull
I got the high gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass as fast
as Bull offed Custer
