The Joy of Colbert

Actually, "The Subversive Joy of Stephen Colbert" is the complete title of the article in --- wait for it --- "Rolling Stone" this issue (September 17, 2009). Of course Stephen is on the cover. Written by Neil Strauss with photographs by Martin Schoeller (got to love the photo on page 57) it is a long overdue expose of... (OUCH. Who just hit me?)

What I meant to say is that it is another honest portrayal of the man and his motivation, his wit and his charm. While it would have been better to dedicate the entire issue to Stephen, at least a few pages is a good, humble start for a good, humble man.

But really, shouldn't Stephen be on the cover of some magazine each and every week? This week Rolling Stone, next week Jack and Jill, then Arizona Highways, Linux Journal and Crochet World. The list is endless. Magazine editors should be begging to have his likeness on their cover. We know for sure it automatically brings that Colbert Bump.
