As I serenly surfed the web this morning, I couldn't help but notice this little tid-bit: FBI Investigated 3,501 People Without Warrants. Warrentless wiretaps; not just for the NSA anymore.
In the muffled laughter department, news that it cost the government 1.4¢ to make every penny.
A fourteen-year-old beat the crap out of a man who tried to attack her.

I'm sure we're all wondering what the hell Keith 'Keef' Richards was doing up in a palm tree.
And, direct quote from the article: "Evolutionary biologists have traced the origins of laughter back 4 million years to pre-humans slipping and stumbling in their first faltering attempts to walk on two legs."
So, basically, we can laugh because our ancestors fell on their asses and farted. Seems about right, doesn't it?

The really wonderful thing about the Stephen Colbert 'character' is that he actually IS turning out to be an American hero.
I wonder if the people that booked him knew it was a character and not another Bill O'Reilly...
I gather from the various commentaries on it that they usually book some kind of comedian in that spot. The point seems to be to get somebody who'll make a few good-natured cracks at the expense of the media.
Oops.
