Colbert: AP the Biggest Threat to America

Colbert: AP the Biggest Threat to America - Yahoo! News

Colbert of the "Colbert Report", pronounced "Colbear Repor" (An aside: part of Colbert's family pronounces their name "Colbert" and the rest pronounce it "Colbear" - depends on how fancy and pretentious the individual Colbert wishes to be. Much like the store Target's fancier pronunciation "Tar-jay")

Ha! I have to wonder if there's people out there reading this headline and thinking something like "Yeah! You're right, Colbert! Go get 'em. Stick it to them. Time the AP got their come-uppance, got knocked down a peg or two."

Or saying to themselves, "What the ...?! AP the biggest threat...?"

OTOH, if you're at all familiar with Steve Colbert, and if you've ever seen him on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show", you're in on the joke and wonder what Colbert is up to.

I say that with all truthiness.

Carolyn Mayer ("Mayer" pronounced today "May-yair", which would be its correct pronunciation in its native France. Never, never, never pronounce it like the hot dogs! Metro Goldwyn Mayer is the correct and usual pronunciation. Note that if a member of our family became a mayor, the name would be said twice - Mayor Mayer. )
