Stephen has some advice for everyone about just how we should focus our rage over the economic meltdown and financial bailouts.

Colbert: Now, I know...I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Stephen... Stephen I want to continue this homicidal fury forever. But Stephen... Stephen your Thunderdome idea will kill all the CEO's and there will be no one left to force into a man sized paper shredder.

But I say we will never run out of scapegoats. Because if we focus on pitchforks and vengeance instead of the fundamental problems that got us here soon we'll have plenty of new criminal banks and irresponsible CEO's to start all over again. And we can cry off with their heads and we'll never have to keep ours. And that's the Word.

Can you help us out?
