Poll: Americans Find Colbert Funny. NeoCon Apologist Fred Stone Goes Crying Home to Mommy |
Note that 32 percent of those polled think that the joke about the
president's glass being 32 percent full is not funny. Can't buy comedy
like that, people.

I showed the clips to a variety of people at work and I generally found
that the more intellectually inept these people were, the less likely
they were to find Colbert funny. Universally, brighter people found
Colbert to be funny.

Understanding parody takes a certain amount of intelligence.
For example, if you're dumb enough to *believe* the stuff
being parodied, you probably won't get the joke.

Is it possible to patent a mathematical/philosophical paradigm {ie. a septet
form 9(9²+1)/2 = #369 with a spiragyra-order and yang-yin-zhun-one of 53
BCE - 18 CE} layer as dialectic progression and religious/political regime
of governance?
This is altogether different and renders redundant the incommensurate
Pythagorean hymeneal mysticism paradigm of gender dichotomy as subscribed to
by orthodox Christianity and Western democracy.
The prototyping example titled 'Hypothesis: Grapple With Ideas!' -
http://www.sybilline.bigpondhosting.com/hypothesis.html demonstrates a
functional relationship between language and the Kabbalistic Torah paradigm
as an essential neural linguistic connection to a hypothetical state and
technological core to a range of opportunities...

It is not supposed to be, but if you can mask is as software you can
probably get one.

In olden days, the purpose of the court jester was to play the fool and
to say things no one else would dare to say, to be a "devil's
advocate", or the voice of reason. It was only the brutal and smug who
could not tolerate the fool's comments.

Priceless. I just wish Colbert had talked about the waste of money.
The surprise for me was seeing Scumliar, aka Scalia, laughing at
Colbert's "Sicilian gestures". Colbert was looking right at Scumliar
and said "How are you doing?" as he flicked from his chin, among other
words and hand motions that were clearly obscene.

Bush had 15 minutes of material for an 8-year presidency. Even with
taking one day in five off as vacation he still hasn't been able to
look like he's accomplished anything useful.

They probably didn't understand it. Some of them
still think it's 34% full. Last I heard, another 1% had
evaporated.

I wish I could see the entire thing. The parts I've
seen are hysterical. He didn't pull his punches. And,
the ones his humor was aimed at deserved to be
punched. He could have done 30 minutes.

Oh, yes. His jokes were both appropriate and topical.
If they were stupid enough to ask him to perform at
their function knowing his kind of humor and that he
is very liberal, they deserved what they got. Did they
honestly think that he would water down his regular
material out of gratitude for the invitation? Fools.
Not everyone can be bought.
