"These so-called experts have taken over our national government. Well, I disagree with those experts. Somebodies' got to stand up to experts." Yikes. This footage of Don McLeroy, speaking at a Tea Party convention in Bastrop, was replayed on "The Colbert Report" during his interview last night, and comes from a documentary called The Revisionaries.

Colbert on Gov. Perry: "Oklahoma better get to work on that border fence”
As the Statesman points out this morning, last night's episode of The Colbert Report featured the host poking fun at our governor's recent secession antics, saying, “Oklahoma better get to work on that border fence.”
The Word: Blusteriness
If you have not seen “The Colbert Report” starring Stephen Colbert, you are missing some of the best the only good tv there is. The character “Stephen Colbert” affects all the pomposity, self-involvement and simple-mindedness of your least-favorite cable news hosts (hello, Bill O’Reilly). His interviews generally show a blatant disregard for the for the ‘expertise’ of the subject, and he is a ‘journalist’ who admittedly favors his opinions over facts. Because, as he puts it, facts can change, his opinion can’t. And while Colbert’s obnoxious, sentorian voice may grate a little, the juicy satire that comes from his death-grip on the voices of sociopolitical commentary makes it all worthwhile.
