Here's a surprise, as completely unwatchable as I find his monologue right now, his Nielsen Ratings put him at number 1 for late night. I guess if Trump is messing with your sleep pattern maybe you do get catharsis from Colbert?

As far as the darkness of the humor goes, there is real anger there but I can't decipher if the rage is that of a Democratic team player who can't Clinton or a patriot who is actually concerned about our institutions and people? I hope its the latter. I guess his bubble is under assault. My bubble took another hit yesterday when the Post reported that Eric Prince (evil incarnate) may be the Trump Putin go between and someone close to me spent his morning on a Clinton rant right out of Trumps tweets. Folks are doubling down on protecting their bubbles. Shit gonna pop.
