The Colbert Report

I love The Colbert Report- Satire is a complex tightrope that needs to be balanced with skill in order to be quick, sharp, accurate, poignant, intelligent and very funny.  Stephen Colbert does it so well.

I watched this last week, but didn't take time to post it here.  It's getting reposted a lot online, and as I've watched it a few more times- I still think it is spot on, funny, and true.

wow...this sure makes a joke of the Saviour of Universe, who ironically stooped to become a human so He could take our place before God...

not sure if it's ironic as applied to the satire, as it's not directed at Jesus, but people, but on a related note, I just wrote a post about Jesus' coming to Earth yesterday, it will publish sometime this week.

This hit it on the nose for all christians- we all need to take it to heart. I love the balanced humor- and at the heart it's so true. This is what satire is for! Great link.
