Stephen Colbert is one of my favorite humans of all time. I knew he was seriously a kindred spirit when he suddenly began reciting The Song of Tom Bombadil during an interview a couple of years ago. (I read and reread Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring at least 10 times before the end of 11th grade.) He is famous for not being what he pretends to be (conservative) and for saying what he doesn't believe (that Karl Rove is a lovely human being) but the truth is he's a very tenderhearted individual. I have no doubt that his religious feeling is deeply sincere. His interview with Pussy Riot is great fun to watch but I think Colbert, the Dad, is genuinely worried about 'these girls'. I know the current president of Russia prides himself on looking as though he eats slow moving citizens for breakfast but I wouldn't want Colbert mad at me either. The artists' humor was a perfect match for Colbert's.
Stephen Colbert was made a member of the band. This makes me happy:
