1. He was a superstar before.

Jon Stewart's sidekick on the Daily Show. Now has his own show on Comedy Central, spoofing assholes like O'Reilly and Scarborough.

It's called the Colbert Report. Comedy Central M-Th at 11:30 pm. Repeat next night at 8:30 pm.

8. Charlotte isn't cool enough for Colbert to be from there!

Cool can't be measured - you either are or you aren't and think you are! I should know about Charlotte - I'm about an hour from it, and forced to have Charlotte TV stations as my locals.

See, I can do "from the gut" too!!!

5. Charleston isn't there anymore

The most obnoxious drunken raider since Blackbeard spent last week pillaging and plundering her.

That would be me. And 82 Queen is out of crabcakes!

11. I did the same for pretty much the same reasons.

When I lived in Illinois and New Hampshire I made a conscious effort to lose my Alabama accent.
Didn't want to be stereotyped as a stupid southern redneck.
Now that I've returned to my roots, my drawl is back in spades.
I'm a chameleon.
