Kingpin of TV comedy Stephen Colbert did an excellent job razzing the NIMBY crowd in his show the day after President Obama’s reelection. Colbert painted a picture of hypochondria and downright silliness when reviewing cases of “Wind Turbine Syndrome.”

The bottom line is that Wind Turbine Syndrome is a farce, but at least we get a good laugh from Colbert’s unique way of poking fun at the issue.
