Dear Stephen T Colbert,

I admire your work very much and I believe that you were ejected unfairly and unconstitutionally by the North Carolina Democratic Presidential Race. But about the book, I feel that you have expressed your views, however different, very effectively throughout the past 227 pages. You are a person I admire, not necessarily because of your views, but because of your audacity. You are surely hated in the world today by many people including Hilary Cliton and Barrack Obama. This only makes my admiration for you greater, for I detest the two, although mainly Hilary. The media today is very leftist and since they promote Hilary, many people go along with them, but sense only Fox News is conservative, few people today understand the truth. As nice as it would be for all the things promised by Hilary to happen, they never will and it is unrealistic to expect them to. When your only campaign strategy is to promise each group that you talk to whatever they want, you will eventually contradict yourself and, in essence, because a spawn of satan (Hilary). If you don't believe me, I suggest you watch South Park more often. Although I cannot back this up, it is quite hilariously plausible. Also, I have noticed that nothing would change if there were no races. Throughout history people have needed something to criticize, to put down. These things have not always been someone of a different color, but often times poorer people, drunks, and those who fill themselves with vile things such as drink or drugs. If minorities in race didn't exist, the minorities in other things such as class or brawns or brains would be put down instead. In the end, I do not believe that anything less than a "perfect communist state" would fix discrimination problems. Note that a perfect communist state is unobtainable by current man and anything less is worse that our current system. The End.

Vocab

1. Pansexual: Pertaining to the theory that all human behavior is based on sexuality. Adjective (185).
2. Nephrology: The branch of medical science that deals with the kidney. Noun (201).

Figurative Language

1. Irony: "Throughout human history, we have dreamed of reaching the rich fat deposits locked tantalizingly beneath our skin. Now, with a scalpel, a plastic tube, and a household vacuum cleaner, that county is finally ours" (200). This is an example of irony because it is nearly all false but on purpose.
2. Metaphore: "Physics is the ultimate Big Government interference--universal laws meant to constrain us at every turn" (201). This is an example of a metaphore because it is comparing physics to our government without using like or as.
3. Imagery: However unpleasant, I couldn't come up with anything else so, "A surprising amount of zoologists' time is spent thinking of ways for pandas to get off. I say, no more funding for Sing-Sing to play with Ling-Ling's thing-thing" (205). As non typical this piece of imagery may be, it is still imagery to me because I have had some bad experiences and this creates a vivid picture in my mind using ALL five senses, however disgusting.

Quote

1. "REMEMBER: "While skin and race are often synonymous, skin cleansing is good, race cleansing is bad" (173). I hate to say it, but this just about describes the whole entire book.

Theme

1. An emerging theme in the book at the moment is race and how Stephen Colbert does not see them.
