Thoughts From a Sensory Deprivation Chamber: sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night...

 

and watch reruns of 'the colbert report' because stephen colbert makes me feel better about the world. just the fact the he is allowed to exist and perform and succeed as he is...well it's important. he's important, probably more than even he knows. he's like oprah for slacker gen-xers, except he only gives away the truth(iness). he is the only comic (and he'd rip me a new one for calling him a 'comic', but let's be real here) who is, publicly, only on the side of funny. yes he has his ultra conservative character, but he uses it to make anyone who takes themselves too seriously look like a retard trying to hump a doorknob. only three times have i seen him be made to look foolish unintentionally and one of those was when jane fonda just kept making out with him, which hardly counts (how foolish can one look kissing one of the classic beauties of this century...and if you wanna argue that point, go watch barbarella and tell me fonda in her space outfit doesn't make you hard). he is nigh unflappable. also, he is one of the few people in any forum that can get people motivated to get things done. yeah, right now it's silly stuff, but he's keeping people involved. making them feel like they are a part of something...something fun and good. or at the very least something entertaining enough to kill a half hour of another pointless day. if he can keep his act fresh and funny without GWB making an ass of the USA on a weekly basis, he will find his place in history with the greatest comics of all time, except he has something no one else has, the ear of an entire nation...the colbert nation.

i guess that's something

Dang, I hate it when you write something really cool and then hit some obscure unused button on your keyboard and it thinks you want to go back a page… and all your cool writing is gone. Doh!

Since I’m impatient, I’ll summarize what I said…

Stephen Colbert Rocks.

I’ve been a fan of Stephen’s since he was on the Daily Show… where he was in recurring funny skits such as “This week in God” and “Stephen v. Steven” (w/ Steve Carrel.) (Okay, I’m old enough I’ve been watching the Daily Show since Jon Stewart took it over from that silly Craig Kilborn…)

Have you seen the vid for the White House Corespondents’ dinner, where someone just didn’t get it that Stephen was ACTUALLY a liberal playing a conservative on TV… ?

As he pulled off confusing SO many people at the White House Dinner… I believe he already belongs on that list of yours… of all time comedians. (Watch the faces of the audience too, as the SLOWLY start to get it… lol.)

As neither Jon nor Stephen have ever had much problem picking on both sides of the political spectrum, I don’t think Colbert will have a problem post-GWB…

Are you talking about “Cooking With Feminists? (Jane Fonda?) That WAS funny. ;-)

As I have no clever closing today… hmmm…
