Hee--the Tribune also the first Watchie Awards, including this one:

Best addition to Comedy Central: "The Word," the segment of "The Colbert Report" in which Stephen Colbert states his loopy opinion of the night, and does battle with a testy bullet-point list that occupies the screen beside him. Oh, bullet-point list, you're almost as funny as Lewis Black!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As much as I love the bullet point and want to have its babies, I'd have to vote for the ThreatDown here instead. Nothing is funnier than bears.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Go Trib. I watch a...startlingly large number of those shows.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's almost as if we're seeing sanity in elected officials (well, ones up for re-election anyway)

Some of them sure are stubborn about Arctic drilling though. They've given up on putting it into the Budget Reconciliation bill and are now trying to attach it to the Defense Appropriations bill. Bastards.

You're going to have to arm wrestle JZ for this honor. She's got a big crush on the bullet point.

The recurring bear motif is a constant source of enjoyment. I also like Formidible Opponent.

I do miss Colbert on This Week In God, though. Rob Corddry has stepped up, but its still not as good.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Possibly the most endearing part of Colbert's interview with Terry Gross last week was when he admitted that he actually is really, truly afraid of bears and that ever since he was a little kid he's suffered from an irrational certainty that the worst possible thing that could ever happen to him in his whole life, ever, would be being mauled by a bear. He knows that in cold rational fact his likelihood of being actually mauled by an actual bear is infinitesimal, but the irrational fear is there and always has been.

For anyone who missed it this year (like me), "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is being rebroadcast tonight at 8:00 Eastern time on ABC.

Trader Joe's Toasted Oatmeal Flakes (or not):

Hec thinks I have a crush on Bullet Point. I admire Bullet Point tremendously, but the crushiness is really not there. I think he's projecting his own unacknowledged crushitude upon me.

eta: Rob Corddry is really doing a fine job, all told. But I've been getting completely distracted by the occasional appearance of his brother, the Chibi Corddry: just like Rob, but with twice the cute and four times the hair. I'm mildly inexplicably obsessed with the Chibi, and it's interfering with my appreciation of the Original Corddry.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ooh, I think I'll watch the Pinky and the Brain xmas special this weekend.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have such a goofy crush on Mr. Colbert that at the end of his interveiws as they cut away to commercial when he drops his character mask and grins and thanks the guest, my heart gets all fluttery. A-dor-able.
