You guys remember when Secretary of State was the appointment in an administration people talked about the most?

It was a fine idea at the time, though.

Surely we needn't preserve all of them, though. I'd think a handful of actual pieces along with a detailed account of what monuments existed and where would be sufficient for the historical record.

And who smugly repeat "you lost, get over it" about the most recent Presidential election.

Debatable, at this point.

It's when Captain America and Iron Man get into a fight, and it tears the Avengers apart.

His former home in London still has a plaque commemorating him, though.

I sincerely hope you mean "plaque."

I'd be proud to go to trial for tearing down one of these bullshit monuments, honestly.

Excerpted from memoir, chapter 17:

Mrs. Langdon Alger thinks I'm someone! It finally happened!

Eh, go iron your sweater-vest.

Work did pause briefly when crews received reports of "Omar comin,'" but after hiding in their trucks for nearly an hour, the removal continued without further incident.

They must be so upset they blew their whole "we must stop the President, because he's being controlled by Satan" storyline last year.

"After voting on Monday to take down monuments dedicated to Robert E. Lee, Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson, and Supreme Court Justice Roger B. Taney (who wrote the majority decision on Dred Scott V. Sandford), the city executed the removals overnight…"

Having them back-to-back every night for nearly a decade was the true golden age of television. Even though I watched both religiously, I don't think I truly appreciated what we had until they were both gone. At least Trump has helped to bring some of the spitfire back to Colbert.

Maybe these monuments serve as his horcruxes, and must be dealt with individually before the President can be removed.

I think this sort of thing is probably as close to a silver lining to this batshit time we're living through as we're likely to get in the short term. Kudos to Baltimore for finally deciding to take down the monuments, and especially for doing it in such a way that keeps the white supremacists from organizing another…

It's truly disturbing how much more comfortable Donald Trump seems when he's attempting to tarnish the people protesting the Nazis than when he's trying to condemn the Nazis themselves. I want to believe there's something more to him, that he's not just an unhinged lunatic, but when he spends half of his time trying…

The Colbert Report was quite possibly my favorite show of the last decade, but the times we're in now, I'm pretty glad that Colbert isn't required to filter all of this through the lens of that character and can just play it straight.
