ironclad (133)-

Figurative Language
"No, this is a runaway train to Cold, Hard Realityville (132)."
This is a metaphor, saying that Stephen doesnt beat around the bush, hes a strait shooter
"Lets face is, finding Mr./Miss Right is no picnic (97)."
This is a simile, saying that finding love is a hard task, except obviously theres an exception for Stephen T. Colbert
"14 billion is a pretty big number, and God didnt create us so we could waste time trying to picture 14 billion cupcakes (DO NOTR TRY THIS!)(193)."
This is imagery, just suggesting to use your imagination and depict 14 BILLION CUPCAKES
Quote
"I dont understand movies today. They romanticize liberal lifestyles, cram gays into our living rooms, and make children believe its safe to spend time with Robin Williams (131)."
This quote is very significant, explaining to us that the Media is now a wild tiger on the loose. People need to stop living in a land of wizard-schools. People must snap back into reality, AND WATCH THE COLBERT REPORT WEEKNIGHTS AT 1030 PM, ONLY ON COMEDY CENTRAL
Theme
A theme Stephen is portraying is that our world as we know it is evolving. Rules are being broken, regulations are being cutdown, and more horrific things keep airing in our media. We need to regain our sences, return to the glory days, and elect Stephen Colbert for President in 2012!
Dear Stephen,
I am constantly upping your fan populous, and boosting you strait into the whitehouse. When you talk, you uphold a sence of honor, value, and intelligence. Never once have I read a page about Higher education, until now. You help sift out the boring stuff and get strait to the juicyness. The more i read the more I care about whats going on in our sick and twisted world. Youve opened my eyes, and changed my life- so i must thank you for that
With love
Charles Lavin
