Operation Iraqi Stephen

Last night was the first installment of Stephen Colbert's "Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando" and it was a riot. Colbert's real comedic talent is criticizing the Iraqi War and still be sincerely in support of the troops. One of my peeves is that when people automatically assume that you don't support the military troops if you are critical of the war and why we are there.

Evidently, they believe that President Obama is "punishing achievement" by taxing the wealthy. Why is it all about money? Why can't this be about helping your fellow man or woman?

Just a taste...

After I've had a little time to process my short involvement in the campaign, I'll write a longer blog post. For now, I'll leave you with this clip.

Turn on the time machine...

...and go back five years to a young Stephen Colbert as a correspondent on The Daily Show. Colbert is the king of making outlandish speeches with a straight face.
