12:11 - Man with a cockatoo comes on, it's beautiful wildlife with wicked amazing puns by colbert, and deadman insanity. Stewart plays straight man, colbert has a motherfucking bird on his shoulder
12:12 - Election talk! Colbert says Idaho is fucking Cuba. NY is Obama, incredibly surprising that is.
12:14 - Cockatoo still on colbert's shoulder. Jersey for Obama. Dorito Colbert is the greatest thing to ever happen.
12:15 - Wow, first commercial break, this show is amazing. The chemistry between Colbert and Stewart is so perfect I almost forgot for a second they had separate shows. This show makes Stewart's straight faced and stereotyping self deprecating humor seem like a circus act in comparison to his solo work; Colbert's jokes collide with Stewart's like fireworks.
12:20 - First Jason Jones segment, this guy is my favorite field reporter, he's really the anti-news anchor. Very smarmy but smart societal critiques. Woodland creatures are apprehensive. You'll see these images on the internet.
12:23 - John Oliver, my least favorite but most subversive field man is on his A-game, and is actually pretty funny. Worst french accent ever, no new ideas really but some good historical jokes that are actually pretty clever.
12:23a - Commercial! Phew, not as hilarious as first segment but still very clever. I thought they'd both run out of jokes when the bush administration wound down, but they still manage to keep the satire there, and have instead moved into (here ve go!) a Hegelian dialectic. They're now working in opposition towards each other to keep afloat, and can do this successfully with even generic politics. This is philosophically interesting but an interesting TV tactic. Kind of like Ren and Stimpy.
12:28 - Stewart is relaxed, cool as a cucumber. Some advisor guy. Predictably a Gore voter.
12:30 - Advisor is even funny!
12:32 - Commercial!
12:33 - I'm watching Obama's acceptance speach, and it's beautifully amazingly good. Jesse Jackson cries when he sees the results.
12:35 - Louisiana chose Mcain, because all the black people were killed by the Bush administration. Hey now!
12:36 - John Oliver segment, god he's a dick. Samantha B is the only funny female commedian.
12:38 - John Oliver is such a racially motivated comedian, which should be funny but it's counter to what he should be doing. Focusing on race should not be a core issue anymore, I wish there was some way to get rid of peoples vision for 18 months leading up to the election. Commercial right after that segment. Creepy "just for laughs" commercial.
12:44 - Colbert/Stewart banter is great here. Aasif mandvi is predictably funny as the whitest Indian man I've ever seen. He's like an Indian Chow. Sounds like Ron Burgundy. Colbert steals the show!
12:46 - commmmmerrrcial
12:51 - Barack and Michelle Obama's old harvard law professor is hilarious and honest, he said he thought michelle would be the candidate. Hilarious! As if America is ready for a black and female president!
1:33 - I started watching south park
