1. As a Knox Alum, I found the following pleasant....
"Seymour Hall, playing those drinking games. We played a game called Lincoln-Douglas. Great game. What you do, is act out the Lincoln-Douglas debate and any time one of the guys mentions the Dred Scott decision you have to chug a beer. Well, technically 3/5 of a beer. You DO have a good education!

I wasn’t sure if anybody was going to get that joke."

6. Not at all - there was a groan from the crowd at the 3/5 line

hence Colbert's "you DO have a good education"

3. Thanks for that.
Colbert is the new Twain, IMHO.

Loved it.
