It's official. Stephen Cobert is running for president...in South Carolina. He is going to run as a democrat and a republican.

Colbert said, "Nation, after 15 minutes of soul searching, I have heard the call."

Here is the article...

I think this is awesome. Oviously he is not going to win, but I think he's going to use this opportunity to mock the system and force us to take a hard look at it. Wouldn't it be great if he got like 15% in SC? If not Clark, Gore. If not Gore....Colbert.

This Tuesday I got out of class at 9:30 am. I had nothing to do until 3:15 pm, when I was to be picked up and brought to the private reception being put on for General Clark in Seattle. He was in town for a book singing at Third Place Books later that night. I was nervous after class and got absolutely nothing done at all from the time I was released from class to the time I got dressed and ready to go – I didn’t even eat lunch. It was that bad.
