Looking forward to Stephen Colbert on Late Night. Having someone with a brain in the celebrity-whore domain will be a welcome relief.

I'd like to see this with a bunch more celebrities.

Nowhere in this review does the author refer to the Battle of Salamis. Nonetheless, Athens was never a true democracy; on the most basic level, the majority of its citizens could not even vote or participate. Furthermore there is substantial evidence of democratic characteristics earlier, elsewhere. But that's all…
