yeah, i don't judge what's funny by how many people laugh either...because there's plenty of stuff i find hilariously funny (curb your enthusiasm, seinfeld, chef, spaced, bill hicks, the office to name a few)...that i show other people, who just don't laugh at it. it bugs the shit out of me.

it was refreshing to see colbert pack so much truth into what he said in such a sarcastic way and call out the assholes who are turning America into a dictatorship.

i can only imagine it would be like watching kin jong il, or stalin or hitler or mao get up there and make jokes when i saw lord bush.

but you can only dress up the pig for so long before people stop believing the lies, like in soviet russia...you can be told all day long how great things are, but when you start to see the physical manifestations of a dictatorship, it just adds to the cause against it. then comes more pressure, and more resistance, and more pressure...

then it's a race to see who wins, the dictatorship or the people. we'll find out.

then again, our president hangs out with the dictator of a country responsible, admittedly, for over 60 million deaths. we give him grand honors and an elaborate and fancy welcoming...

which is why all this darfur shit pisses me off. of course what's going on there is bad...and how africa is basically an establishment offensive no matter how you look at it...you have china that's muliple times worse, but that's not important enough for brad pitt or angelina or anyone in the mainstream media anywhere.
