Colbert: The Word

The episode is pretty solid; I particularly enjoyed his segment, "The Word" and how he discusses social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. I posted the whole episode, but if you want to, just scrub ahead to "The Word".



The J.D. Salinger portion is well written, too.

Empire State but a Colbert Nation

Around 1:40 Colbert jumps in with some original rap... love him. And I already very much like this song... it makes me happy every time I hear it. Could you imagine being close friends with Colbert? Or being married to him? Is he even married? I wonder what he was like in college, or his early twenties... probably hugely dorky and annoying but hilarious and adorable!

 Lyrics:

Yeah, I love New York, it's the king of all the cities

I lived up by the guggenheim till I got myself some kiddies

Moved to Connecticut, bye George Pataki

Volvo to the dry-cleaner pickin' up my khakis

Now my shopping mall is closer, my community is gated

My shorties are all private school educated

Home theater system, 60-inch plasma

Clean suburban air much better for my asthma

Still hit the city, Times Square I keep it real

Hard Rock Cafe for their appetizer deal

M&Ms Store, Disney Store, I'm in heaven

I own this town from 41st to 47

Got tickets to The Lion King, that show is fantastic

Leave half an hour early so I can beat the traffic

I can get home really fast, driver rocks an EZ-Pass

To the land of cheaper gas and the upper middle class

Lou Dobbs and Sesame Street

Yes, we know that Lou Dobbs has resigned from CNN. Rumor had it that he has been communicating with Fox news, but I believe he's been getting in touch with his pals at Pox. Fast-forward to the 4 minute mark and enjoy. Please excuse the Goldman Sachs jokes.



Thank you, Stephen Colbert, for shedding light on this great mystery.

TV Lineup

Since I've gotten home from Dartmouth, I've been going through a crash-course in primetime shows that are just starting new seasons.

-So You Think You Can Dance? is back on for another season, reminding me that there is some integrity to these reality shows. I just heard a Twitter reference as I'm watching right now. Oh, technology.

--> Hubert, I'd love you to cater/DJ any party of mine.
-Top Chef: Masters has become my new obsession. It's so much better than normal Top Chef because the contestants don't really have anything at stake, so they are much more mature. The chefs are also much more established, creative, and, frankly, better. No plate that I saw last night looked disgusting. In addition, the elimination challenge last night was to cook a gourmet meal in a college dorm room. Is there any better way to cater to a young audience? The new hostess, Kelly Choi, is mad annoying, though--how weird is it to label her a "TV Personality" in the commercials?

-Colbert Report: He's in Iraq now doing his show for the soldiers. I loved his Army of Me segment when he was in boot camp. Hilarious. Watch here:

Anyway, it's time for me to start reading more. My brain's going to be mush by the time I'm 30.
