  • Well this is a particularly bad mistake at a quite inopportune time, I feel like. Silver lining, perhaps: a lot of crazy shit is unfolding in front of a public that is becoming more aware of how bad of an actor the current president is showing himself to be, and he might be in real danger of losing control of his base in numbers that matter.

    Voting season will be a proving ground. I am hoping midterms have a strong and resolved response to this shit and the results are outside margins of error. I can’t accept the alternative, it’s too sad a prospect to really process right now. I really do think a fair vote will reveal the resilience of our democracy. I really fucking hope we have free and fair elections for midterms. I think we will, I hope beyond hope we do, I am asserting we will and now reality must bend to my will, we will. I hope.


















  • Irrelevant and refuted by Colbert’s own words, but ok. Viacom quite literally wouldn’t allow it.

    But on Wednesday night’s Late Show, the real Stephen Colbert indicated that Comedy Central’s legal team is barring his old character from appearing on CBS.

    “This is true, immediately after that show, CBS’ top lawyer was contacted by the top lawyer for another company to say that the character Stephen Colbert is their intellectual property,” the real Stephen Colbert said on Wednesday.

    He continued, “So it is with a heavy heart that I announce that thanks to corporate lawyers, the character Stephen Colbert, host of The Colbert Report, will never be seen again.”

    The audience began to boo but the Late Show host insisted there was nothing he could do.

    “I feel the same way, but what can I do? The lawyers have spoken. I cannot reasonably argue I own my face or name,” he said. “And as much as I’d like to have that guy on again, I can’t.”
