Not that we should be surprised, but Stephen Colbert won't be on the ballot next November when we all go to vote for our next president. He announced this last week on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report when he said he had been turned down by Republicans and the Democrats.

During that episode, he interviewed a guy who lectures on multitasking who said Colbert failed to secure a spot with a political party because he's trying to do too much and isn't focusing on getting elected. If he would campaign heavily and play the whole game, then he'd actually have a shot, despite the immense popularity garnered among young potential voters.

Colbert's response was something along the lines of "think about what that says about our government, that you gotta play the game."

Think about that if you're going out voting today.

Me? I'm gonna hang around and listen to The Clash all day.
