The Stephen Colbert Experience is merely a reflection of the world inside Stephen Colbert's gut because the whole of America, American Society and America's Planet exists just as Stephen Colbert says it does. Stephen Colbert's gut is an empire unto itself and thus creates its own reality, which we can all enjoy and must be thankful for. It has become imperative that every American be thankful that Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. has clarified our country and what we stand for Since 9/11.
