His show should have been canceled YEARS ago.

Jay Leno was right when he called out the one sided political embrace of late night comedians. They never expected that would carry consequences.

Just saw on the news that Spartacus (Corey Booker) is having a fit about the Colbert thing and trying to claim it’s a constitutional problem.

Goofball.




Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

Some shows I specifically tune in for the last show. Not this one. I will do the Klingon shunning ritual.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

after watching a short video by Peter Jackson where he talks with Colbert, and how Colbert wants to do a part of the Fellowship that wasnt done in the original movie (the six chapters). I dont know, I think Colbert might actually be passionate about it, and may at least . . . try. I guess I will wait until we know more about the script etc.

Who gives a fuck? In my opinion, anyone who gives even one single penny to that monumental ASSHOLE is a damn fool who enjoys being shit on by America-hating pseudo-intellectual leftists.

I can’t wait for Colbert’s vanity project to fail and fail MISERABLY. I also look forward to hearing him bitch and moan about it.

Maybe Colbert could remake Snow White.
