"But listen, this is a war against secret enemies that may not end… Don't we need secret powers that have no limit?" — Stephen Colbert, interviewing Carl Bernstein
I've never seen this show before. Brilliant.

Can you help me get off this island?
That was my reaction to Colbert's show when I first saw it, Ami, maybe a month ago.
Ami,
If you're just getting to know Colbert, then you may not yet know of the word "truthiness" which he popularized. You should definitely check it out on Wikipedia. I think you will find it a very useful description of some things you encountered at Daly Thoughts. It will also help explain why debating there so often feels like boxing with a feather pillow.
Heh heh. Thanks Lib, I read the Wikipedia page. This guy is pretty cool.
Obviously I'm missing a lot of great political satire out here in Northern Europe.
... Ami.
