Might I also remind you of Stephen's true strength? It is of course the great muck-rake for freedom and the continuation of the American way in any quarter of the universe .... even a Points of Light setting.
Therefore, the Colbert Report might be a great place to highlight the most pressing issue

Simply a ruse for the murder of untold .... ...... ....... .......3-7 possible gnomish player characters in 4e. By moving the gnome out of the limelight, the 4e designers have effectively shut off the future for our small little vanilla-flavored demihumans.
The only crime more heinous than this would be to give BEARS sentience in 4e ..... all I can say is please keep them in the animal subtype, or else the Points of Light will soon be snuffed out.
