Colbert PAC

If I'm up late enough I usually catch part of The Colbert Report. Even if you do not agree with the political views he has and I'm not saying I agree with him all or even most of the time. I do often agree with the method he uses to illustrate how shockingly ridiculous the system is.

If you don't understand what a political action committee (PAC) is, Colbert gives a fairly good description and illustrates the flexibility in how the money can be spent along with commentary and perspective from Trevor Potter. Colbert ends the segment stating he is starting Colbert PAC whose goal is "Making a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow"

Maybe my generation is missing the point, at least some would think so since we tend to tune into things like "Colbert" over "Meet the Press". I tend to think we understand whats going on fairly well. We may tend to look at things with a simplistic approach and be ridiculed for it, but I have always heard a lot of the "older" generations tell people my age how things used to be simpler and better because of it.
