I sincerely hope no one on CD is going to neg rep you for thinking that the opinions and attitudes Colbert personifies are not funny. They aren't.
The Colbert Report is satire, not humor. Of course, there is a mean-spirited minority that actually agrees with some of Colbert's outrages, and those nit-wits might view him as funny. The rest of us are laughing
with Colbert as he mocks the nit-wits. And he does it well!

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
