How many times has this happened to you? You're watching your favorite show, which you recorded on your DVR, and right before the final joke or the big reveal, the recording cuts off and you miss the ultimate payoff? Why can't television get it right?
Did you know that today is a "Day of Rage" across the Muslim world, where bone-weary citizens are finally taking to the streets against their corrupt dictators? Seems like as good a time as any for Vogue to publish a fawning profile of the "glamorous, young, and very chic" wife of Syria's brutal tyrant, right?
Two and a Half Men shuts down for the season, Susan Sarandon heads to 30 Rock, Chelsea Handler will play her own older sister, and preview Gwenyth Paltrow's latest song for Glee.
On last night's Colbert Report, Stephen interviewed Salon writer Glenn Greenwald about wikileakes and the corporate hacker Anonymous. Watch closely to catch when Stephen's face gets momentarily superimposed by the iconic Guy Fawkes mask (around the 3:22 mark).
The last decent president we had in this country, George W.

Professional television entertainer Donald Trump got a little boost for his pretend presidential prospects the other day, when a poll came out showing him within two percentage points of Barack Obama in a hypothetical presidential matchup. He proudly, and immediately, flapped his gums about this in the YouTube clip above. Maybe we underestimated him and his ability to enchant dumb America by firing people in a cardboard corporate boardroom for all these terrible, terrible years. Maybe he should be our greatest next president after all.
Ricky Gervias seems to think that Conan and Stephen would get along swell and put in a special request for last night's interview: that the two "to battle each other like stick insects."
