5 stars, because this is funny, and the world is too fucked up a place for a group of people who avoid making egregious run-on sentences and another group of people who say they want to avoid making egregious run-on sentences but then turn around and do it to not sit down and share a nice dinner during the time it takes to read this crap.

I'll give three stars because I see value in both sides. Also, this wasn't that funny.

Every day powerful lobbyists and media manipulators meet with elected officials and each other to engage in undemocratic work without oversight or accountability. Taking that out on a public roasting of the President and media seems counter-productive to me.

And while this doesn't happen every year, Colbert, Sykes and others have used this opportunity to speak truth to power in effective ways not otherwise seen in the media. Seth Myers may not have been as controversial, but he still called the President a disappointment, the media self-involved sycophants, and the Tea Party racist.

I see value in all sides, except the notion this wasn't funny. Did you, or did you not, see Optimus Prime, and an increasingly miserable and sullen Donald Trump?

Vaidency for the presidency!

oops.

That should have been a response to Cognitive Dissonance. Anyway, watching Trump squirm is reason enough to give this a five.
