I wonder if its viewer demographics will shift over the next 4 years given the new fodder. Heck, I wonder what Colbert will do since (IIRC) he parodies a Republican.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Obama's speech, I think his campaign has established a widespread hope that we are witnessing greatness; history in the making. Even if the words sound the same, maybe Obama really means what you imagine he could mean. Even if the ideas seem the same, maybe he can make them work. Maybe the old rules don't apply. Maybe it's a different game entirely. Suspension of disbelief.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I'm not so caught up with his speeches, which is not to say that I'm not hopeful about some aspects. e.g. I am hopeful for a more open government under Obama.<BR/><BR/>KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244577723092436958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27237113.post-57835115373492107812009-01-31T23:11:00.000-08:002009-01-31T23:11:00.000-08:00That was a seriously funny JS segment.
