Colbert's Facebook Support: 1.2 Million And Counting
Twelve days ago, while introducing the new Facebook group "1,000,000 Strong for Stephen T. Colbert," The Trail noted that its creator, Raj Vachhani, didn't include a photo in his Facebook profile. That's a very sketchy thing to do on Facebooksphere -- akin to going to a meet-and-greet party with a big, scary mask on.
Vachhani has now corrected his oversight, he said in a phone interview. Vachhani, it turns out, is 16, a junior at Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School in Montgomery, Ala. and, not surprisingly, a fan of Colbert's Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report." "It's where I get most of my news," he said.
