Steven Colbert talks about how to ruin same-sex marriage. This guy is a genius.
What is most disturbing, some people think he pretends to be joking and really means what he says. REALLY? He is just making fun of the stupidity our politicians portrait all by themselves. If people think this is real news, then we got problems. The irony is that The Colbert Report acknowledges they are a fake news program, while the "real" news have become so ideological and politicized that they too seem like a fake news show.
Anyways, the clip is a little long, but worth watching.

"Truthiness: n. a word so straight that drives men wild" Steven Colbert.
Here is what the real Steven Colber, that is the one out of character, had to say about the word.
"Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word…
It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. It's certainty. People love the President [George W Bush] because he's certain of his choices as a leader, even if the facts that back him up don't seem to exist. It's the fact that he's certain that is very appealing to a certain section of the country. I really feel a dichotomy in the American populace. What is important? What you want to be true, or what is true?…
Truthiness is 'What I say is right, and [nothing] anyone else says could possibly be true.' It's not only that I feel it to be true, but that I feel it to be true. There's not only an emotional quality, but there's a selfish quality."
Just follow the United States mid-term elections. Watch all the ads in which both sides enter arguments of he said - she said, etc. We live in an age of truthiness.
In case you are curious, the word truthiness was Merriam-Webster's number one word of the year 2006.
1. truthiness (noun)
1 : "truth that comes from the gut, not books" (Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," October 2005)
2 : "the quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than concepts or facts known to be true" (American Dialect Society, January 2006)
It should be interesting how this November elections in the United States play out.
You don't love someone because they are beautiful, they are beautiful because you love them.
