Question: What does Stephen Colbert presidential campaign, 2008 and Aragorn have in common?
Context: I Am America (And So Can You!)  is a 2007 satirical book by American comedian Stephen Colbert and the writers of "The Colbert Report".  It was released on October 9, 2007, with the audiobook edition released several days earlier.  The book is loosely structured around the fictional life story of Stephen Colbert as he appears on "The Colbert Report".  As of the April 6, 2008 publishing, the book had been on the New York Times Bestseller List in the Hardcover Nonfiction category for twenty-four weeks, ranking number one for fourteen of them. On October 16, 2007, satirist Stephen Colbert (in the guise of his character) officially announced that he would run for President of the United States.  This came after weeks of being pressured to do so by the public and stating that he would need a sign, which came from Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) giving him the sword Anduril.  Although the legitimacy of his campaign was questioned, he maintained that he was serious.  Colbert had originally planned to run for both the Republican and the Democratic nomination in his home state of South Carolina.  After learning that the fee to file for the Republican primary was $35,000, he abandoned plans to run as a Republican (he had previously stated that he could avoid FEC rules if he stayed under $5,000 in campaign expenditure).  Although he paid the $2,500 fee to be included in the South Carolina Democratic ballot, he was denied a place on the ballot by the South Carolina Democratic Party executive council.  On November 5, 2007, Colbert officially dropped his presidential bid. Tek Jansen is a fictional character featured on "The Colbert Report" and in a comic book series published by Oni Press.
