I’ve been watching a lot of this dude lately, and the other night I dreamed that David Wayne [Wain, alright? Wain. -Berated Barrett] and I were on his show, chatting about how awesome he is before we went on. The man is hilarious. He so perfectly skewers those powerful blowhards on Fox News, and it’s so funny that sometimes I forget that those people actually have a good deal of traction in the real world. Recently Colbert was up in arms because ignorant people are getting discriminated against, and he felt like there should be a week-long Ignorance Month. But check out this column from Paul Krugman yesterday; it reminded me that all of this satire comes from a true, and truly scary, source.

Dear Mr. Patrick Barrett,
This is in regards to your Paul Krugman article sir. Mr.Krugman is distinctly talented tackling complex issues; and making them more complex when he tries to fit his thoughts (even when sound) into simple articles.
I have a total rebuttal, of course; but you would know that of me. As a mysterious man from your past, I have spent the last few months thinking about something you told me long time ago, about a political discussion we had…the plot thickens, but it explains everything. This idea is so sublime, so provocative, it’s a thing of beauty.
I hope to share it with you soon; but Patrick, what is really important, the very reason for this comment, is the hope that you know that you are loved both far and wide…in suburban Connecticut (really, a few more publications and Spring Street will be renamed!…maybe…) May only blessings come your way. Be well sir!
Sincerely,
