An article and a test

Good article on the Colbert phenomenon.

As an aside, take this quick quiz from said article: which ones did Colbert say, and which ones did Coulter say? (answers in the article)

1. “Even Islamic terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do. They don’t have the energy. If they had that much energy, they’d have indoor plumbing by now.”

2. “There’s nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell.”

3. “I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law.”

4. “Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity, as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of ‘Kill everyone who doesn’t smell bad and answer to the name Muhammad.’ ”

5. “I believe that everyone has the right to their own religion, be you Hindu, Muslim, or Jewish. I believe there are infinite paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior.”

6. “[North Korea] is a major threat. I just think it would be fun to nuke them and have it be a warning to the rest of the world.”

7. “Isn’t an agnostic just an atheist without balls?”

I'd just like it to go on the record that I got every one right (thank you, thank you very much). Although to be honest, it wasn't that hard. The funny ones are Colbert's; the ones that are down-right mean and trying but failing to be funny are Coulter's. That woman really is a witch regardless of whether she's just an overrated actress or not.
