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.
Ooh, I think I'll watch the Pinky and the Brain xmas special this weekend.
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.
Robin, you will be pleased to know that Chez Zmayhem, the Colbert Report is also known as "The Show In Which Robin's Secret TeeVee Boyfriend Sends Her Love Messages With His Eyes."
The Tribune is really on fire today with TV-related articles--they endorse Matthew V. Santos for president.
The Vinick character may be a moderate Republican. But he reminds us an awful lot of Alan Alda, the ex-"M*A*S*H" star linked to just about every touchy-feely cause imaginable.
Meanwhile, Santos looks a lot like actor Jimmy Smits, who for years played police detective Bobby Simone on "NYPD Blue." Simone was strength and compassion incarnate.
So at gut check time, Democrat Santos became our easy pick for the endorsement.
In our humble opinion, it was the biggest moment in the history of imaginary news since 1948, when a Midwestern newspaper--memory fails us as to which one--reported that Thomas E. Dewey had defeated President Harry Truman.
JZ-- That's what EVERYBODY calls it, right?

Wait, that's
not
Jimmy Smits? Wow. I've only seen the commercials, but I totally thought it was him.
It is, just like Vinick is played by Alan Alda. Last Sunday's ep mentioned that "the Trib" endorsed Santos, thus giving him a boost in the polls in Illinois and putting the state into play (as the editorial says, this isn't quite realistic, since IL hasn't been Repub-leaning in decades), so they decided to pen an "actual" endorsement of him now that the show has given him one from the paper.
Oh, dude, I didn't read carefully enough - I thought they were talking about the actor by that point in the story.
