Face The Nation Sit-Down Tomorrow, By Stephen Colbert
In a preview of his Face the Nation sit-down tomorrow, Stephen Colbert explains to John Dickerson why Jesus himself would be his dream interview.
Colbert is arguably one of the most famous Catholics in the United States and has talked very openly about his faith. A few months ago, he said that the one question he would ask Pope Francis is “What do you do to get that smile on your face in the morning?”
When Dickerson asked him what he would ask Jesus, Colbert obliged: “Is this all therse is? Is it all here or is there something after this?”

All in order to be labeled politically correct. Making it a delicate job to write one's own opinion or to tell a story from a foreign point of view. Yet these are all things writer Christopher Moore does in his book Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. Not only does he accomplish this task but he tells his story in such away, to bring together different views of the same issue. A fantastic insightful and charming coming of age story of one of the most controversial beings in existence, Jesus Christ. Christopher Moore’s writing success can not be pinned down to a single element. It’s his creative mind and diverse writing style that makes Moore's books so intriguing. Yet there is a outstanding theme among his writings that lets Moore truly personify himself in his own words. That is his humor. Not only does Christopher Moores sense of humor fill his…

    In Stephen Colbert’s book, America Again, Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren’t, he talks about a wide range of problems in American society. They range from jobs to energy to healthcare, and of course, they are all written in a satirical sense. In the second chapter, Colbert and his writers talk about jobs in America. They discuss the problem of jobs being shipped overseas to countries like India and China and Colbert puts forth his “solutions” to the problems, which mostly include setting up sweatshops in America. He also talks about job interviews and how to be successful at them. Colbert and his staff of writers use a wide range of comic techniques in the book as a whole and in the chapter on jobs to satirize the American culture and government.…

    A good leader is someone who constantly is honest with the people who he or she is surrounded by. A leader who is educated is able to evaluate other people's skills to have the ability to achieve their ideal goals.

    Good morning everyone today I will talk about why Donald Trump should not be elected president of the United States. I think Donald Trump will never be elected president of U.S.A as he is making all of these crazy ideas like proposing to build a wall between Mexico and America and making Mexico pay for it. He also always thinks he is correct and has a hard time admitting that he is wrong. He plans to ban all Muslims until he knows what is going on and better security precautions are made.…
