    Mmmmmm. Stephen. . .

    I can't even really write a coherent response to this piece, so blinded am I with love for Stephen Colbert. I've watched his show since the inagural episode, fretted over the response, been wild with joy when he had his photo spread and interview in Newsweek, nearly wet myself beneath his ginormous electronic billboard in near Times Square. Hurrah for him! Everything he does is magic.
