Some of the pass-offs from Jon Stewart to Stephen Colbert are real gems, even when they manage to flub it. This one from a couple of weeks ago I couldn’t find on Comedy Central, so I’ll resort to posting it myself. Colbert provides some bedtime reading from Ayn (A is A) Rand.

I went through an Ayn Rand period in college, when I read both “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged”. Like the science-fiction writings of L. Ron Hubbard, I genuinely enjoyed Ayn Rand’s novels. If nothing else, they’re solid romantic soap operas. But as I did with Hubbard’s Dianetics, I decided Rand’s Objectivism wasn’t for me.

Comic book fan Stephen Colbert comments on Marvel Comics killing off, for now, Captain America.

Stephen Colbert comments on a Christian doctor who refuses to treat people who aren’t to his liking, even if the person isn’t the patient, but the parent of a sick child. This seems so totally un-Christian to me. Here’s a link to the TV story Colbert mentions.

Stephen Colbert has won some totally meaningless award. But if it makes him happy, I won’t knock it.
