What The Daily Show is to evening news, The Colbert Report is to personality-driven pundit shows. Colbert brings his sarcastic charm to a half-hour report, tackling the important issues of the day and telling his guests why their opinions are just plain wrong. Stephen stands for truthiness and his American right to copyright that word and claim ownership of it. Stephen Colbert describes his audiobook as a simple audiobook from a simple mind--Stephen Colbert. It is one man's attempt to wedge his brain between hardback covers---in this case CD jackets. In plain conversational language, not to mention the occasional grunt and/or whistle, Stephen explains his take on the most pressing concerns of our culture: Faith, Family...Hygene. Why now? Stephen fears America has lost its balls and he hopes to re-ballify us. Even the ladies. Ladies can have balls--lady-balls too. Stephen likes to call those "Thatchers." Stephen will show how he got his mammoth swinging sack, with tales of courage and vital documents from his own life: the Mother's Day card he made at age six, disputed credit card bills, putt-putt score cards--all the major milestones.

Colbert bloviates this all-points spoof, but the "full cast" includes the oldest man in the world, who flatlines after reminiscing about "the joy of racism." God, who also testifies, is a huge Colbert fan. He once answered everyone's prayers, He explains, but "now it's gimme, gimme, gimme." Since players on both teams beg for victory, "I usually have no choice but to answer the prayer of whatever team is better." "Religion," "Sex and Dating," "The Homosexual Agenda (Do Not Read By Glowstick Light)"--the fabulous fake TV pundit sets the world aright. It's all in Colbert's voice: He's angry, he's confident, and he's kidding. If only all TV and radio pundits traded the hating business for the laughing business. Lord, hear my prayer. B.H.C.
