In 2016, Californians will vote on stupid Tim Draper’s stupid initiative to turn America’s greatest state into six stupid (and deeply unequal) little states. The initiative will fail, and even if it somehow passes, the state legislature will never approve it, and even if it somehow did, Congress will never agree to it. So, this whole thing is stupid. Fitting then that famed ridiculer of stupid things Stephen Colbert had Draper on his show last night.
Colbert began by introducing Draper (a “Silicon Valley billionaire and evil stepdad in a Lifetime movie”) and his stupid plan to the uninitiated:
Then “the riskmaster” himself came on. Watching Draper come off like a weirdo is entertaining enough, but the real money shot is when Colbert responds to Draper’s promise that he has no future in politics: “so, you’re just going to set the charges, blow it apart, and then say ‘not my fucking problem’?”
