Best Book Title Ever

"I Am America (And So Can You!)" by Stephen Colbert.

Oh my god I laughed when I heard this one! Stephen Colbert rocks. Way more than anyone on CNN, MSNBC, LMNOP, Fox News & all those other channels that try to cram way too much on the screen at the same time; weather, stocks, top news stories crawling across the bottom just in case the newscasters aren't getting to them fast enough, PLUS the people reading the news. Can anyone even process that much information all at once? I think not.

Can't we go back to a simpler time? A time when we only had to pay attention to the one thing that was actually on the screen? A time when two newscasters fit quite nicely into the frame, thank you very much. A time when the news wasn't based solely on what dumbass thing Britney Spears did today?

Is anyone else picturing Ron Burgundy right now?

Stay classy San Diego,
