"Colbert" is in fact a persona not a real person, that is the personality on screen is not as he is in real life. The whole thing is a sarcastic cynical look at Fox News talk shows and other self important talking heads. That's why some people think it's funny, others (without a sense of humor) are offended.

I think you misunderstood my over generalization. As far as US law goes Assange knowingly released classified material to the public, that is a crime, no argument from me. If you look at the far right or left, they both make gross generalizations in line with their philosophies.

Indian access = India having access to American consumers data, given the amount of interaction we have. CS at your bank send you an email from India help desk, I think India would/could attempt to use that interaction for access. Somebody better be standing up for me! (oh wait, I can do that for myself)

In in the eyes of the Tea Baggers or GOP there is no difference between Al Qaeda and Wikileaks ; They called it "an enemy of the state" and they will apply it to anyone "left" of their position.

They will do it from (now)ex GOP senate leader Murkowski (I live in Anchorage) down. You too can become one, just cross someone that is an angry right-wing voice, it's easy and free [as in beer], I did it last winter [on a very minor and obscure subset of wacko's]. It matters not what the truth is.

With a free moment I browse the for sale on Craigslist. If I see something that looks like a very good deal, I check the interwebs for what that price of said item is new. I may not be shopping for that item and only looked at xyz.com for pricing.

All your marketing dollars now belong to us.

My grandmother was on a plane hijacked in the 70's. It was LAX to JFK via layover in SFO. 30 minutes out of LAX a "crazy guy" (not a terrorist) with a gun took the plane over and had the pilots head to HNL. Upon the news over the intercom that the flight would be diverted (and was now a hostage situation) the passenger erupted in applause, apparently it was primarily business travelers. At least it's how Gran told the story. HNL = Honolulu.

True, a disassembled SBR will still get you in trouble but that does not prevent you from having the upper in proximity to a complete weapon (I am sure you know switching uppers can be done in seconds) or having the "pistol" and having a buffer tube and stock kit (much less expensive but longer to switch).

Why is it that I can own a M4 carbine upper with an 11 inch barrel and do not need a NFA short barrel tax stamp as long as it is not installed on a M4 lower, but it's 10 kinds of law violation to sell a dongle that can jailbreak some specific computer platform? This planet make no sense what's so ever. I am going back to my veal fattening pen and watch some sitcoms.
