We're in the stage of the operation where the patients who had been most heavily sedated by mainstream anesthesia are being gently awakened by a familiar face at their bedside. We're seeing more and more of this: Chapelle, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart. The one I'm not going to give a fucking inch to no matter what he says though? Stephan Colbert. That guy strikes me as irredeemable except by Jesus himself.

Anybody in the red shoe club may be buying themselves a bit of time, but little else. I believe, however, that there is special consideration given for those who were born into the satanic club and were tortured themselves as children into compliance. I think Maher likely is in this group given that Hugh Heffner is almost certainly his father. Not saying the consideration is huge, but it would have to weigh into the equation.
