China Blue

There's an interesting argument going on in my apartment right now: is the Colbert Report secret right-wing propaganda? We've consumed a collective nine bottles of wine, so I'm not sure we're actually qualified to answer this question, but there seems to be a bitter contention between two sides: yes, and no. Is China bad because they imprison journalists? We're not clear. Does the fact that that's bad mean that China's bad? Even less clear. Can we take a joke? Fuzziest of all. But speaking of jokes, did you hear President Bush's speech this morning? Does anyone else go to sleep muttering the phrase, "we will accept nothing less than total victory," and then sometimes slip and say, "complete victory," then fall asleep out of serious boredom and anxiety? Me too.

I do believe our brilliant friend Colbert would say, the more journalists in jail the better, as long as they're not from Fox News!
