Would you vote for Stephen Colbert? Well technically you can’t because he was not on the ballot in South Carolina (or yet elsewhere). But a road block like that is laughable to Colbert.
Last week a South Carolina poll put the comedian’s popularity at 5 percent, ahead of former Governor John Huntsman (some think this humiliation helped to hasten Huntsman’s departure from the Presidential race).
This prompted Colbert to announce his intention to form an exploratory committee to decide if he should make a run for the White House. It seems as though he might test his luck.
Now, South Carolina doesn’t have write-ins, and Colbert is about two months late to file, so he decided to do the next best thing; run using someone who’s name is already on the ballot. So to quote the Colbert “A vote for Herman Cane is a vote for me.” Herman Cain, received over 6000 votes in the South Carolina primary.
USDemocrazy has never endorsed anyone but we are very eager to see how the Colbert campaign develops. Maybe this time next year we will be inaugurating President-Elect Rev. Sir. Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, DFA.

We here at USDemocrazy are cold. I mean, it’s really, really cold here, with the snowdrifts eight feet high during the Snowmageddon. It’s so cold that our brains are a little frozen… But not as frozen as Fox News’, apparently.
Fox made a little boo boo with several statements about the lack of global warming due to the recent winter storms all along the East coast.
In fact, Eric Bolling, host of Your World on Fox News, repeatedly showed “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore’s book about global warming. He buried the book in the snow, talking about how, because of the snow, global warming cannot be true.
At the end of the section, Bolling interviewed a global warming skeptic, Phelim McAleer, who was dressed in just a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals, while standing in the snow. McAleer stated,
“It’s nonsense that carbon dioxide is dangerous.”
Stephen Colbert, expert newscaster (or hilarious comedian), disagreed with this “scientific” report.

Stephen Colbert stated, sparring against Fox News’ latest comments,
“According to my Dopplest 9000, it is dark outside. Now based on this latest data, we can only assume that the sun has been destroyed. The world has been plunged into total darkness…”
