Steven Colbert 08′

Steven Colbert, I assume he needs no introduction will be stepping into the political spotlight soon. Colbert wants to run for president and why not this is a great marketing strategy. He is already popular but this political stunt will increase his popularity and should cost less than a 30 second spot on primetime television. He will, I am guessing make guest appearances on the late shows and talk shows, all free PR. All the other politicians that are running are making a fortune so why should Colbert be restricted. Colbert and Jon Stewart are more popular with the younger generations than any of the nightly news anchors.

Steve Colbert, a man with a vision. From Comedy Central to the White House, hey if Fred Thompson can do it why not?

Return from a long haitus, traveling the U.S without the Internet

It has been a month since I have posted anything on my blog but while I was gone it was still living its own life. That is a funny thought to me. I guess it is similar to writers who have written books decades or centuries ago, while the contributor is absent or departed the words and thoughts live on as a seperate enitity.

I spent the last month traveling up and down the east coast and mid-west and had limited access to the internet. I had to say that it was a freeing experience and although I did miss the net I also enjoyed time away from it. I didn’t give it up altogether but I did spend very little time on the net.

It’s hard to believe life without the net now, and I did realize the importance of the internet while I left my laptop at home for the whole trip. It is funny how less than twenty years ago the internet wasn’t even a part of anyones life.
