Last night's Colbert Nation was the site of an historical re-enactment of the ride of Paul Revere. Host, Stephen Colbert even put himself in harm's way by saddling up to a real, live department store rocking horse to demonstrate how firing warning shots, and ringing bells whilst screaming "The British are coming, the British are coming" and warning the British themselves they're not taking our guns ... is not only plausible! But it even shows how Paul Revere put his life in danger with this epic feat.
I think it's safe to say we can finally put this whole gun firing, bell ringing episode behind us and concentrate on more important matters.
