Who you calling insane, Mr. Colbert?

I refer you back to my Dreamwidth journal entry of January 8, which has the subject line Should the USA invade Greenland?

Full credit for the humorous wording belongs to late night television host Stephen Colbert.  My quotation from one of his monologues ends with "They're insane!", where "they" appears to refer to the people of the United States.  Since Colbert is a US American himself, as am I, this statement may raise some eyebrows: does he, and do I, actually regard our own country, taken as a whole, as insane?

I don't.   It's a great line in the Late Show context, and I am not criticizing Colbert for using it, but if you take it seriously and literally …

Based strictly on newsworthy recent events in our country, I can think of one individual who is far more clearly qualified to be called insane than is the average American.  That would be our president.
