Culture: Straight pimpin’: Stephen Colbert pulls out an iPad at the Grammys

  • How does Stephen Colbert get an iPad before Julius does, anyway? Julius is way more deserving of the Steve plate. But that said, it makes for the best Grammy moment in ages.

Culture: Here’s an image of the Stephen Colbert namesake space treadmill

COLBERT, the treadmill
  • They’re sure running with this joke. (Sorry.) As you might remember, a few months back, Stephen Colbert attempted to win a contest to get a part of the International Space Station named after him. He won, but NASA chose to name this treadmill after him instead. Which, is still incredibly awesome. Admit it.source

Culture: Like peanut butter + chocolate: Colbert, Newsweek guest editor

  • No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. You’re reading Stephen Colbert. And for that I apologize. The last thing I want is to contribute to the corrosive influence of the print media. I prefer to yell my opinions at you in person.
  • Stephen Colbert • In his letter from the editor, titled “Why I Took This Crummy Job.” Colbert guest-edited this week’s issue of the magazine – the first guest editor in the magazine’s history. He didn’t just sit around and take the credit. As he puts it, he “set the editorial agenda, assigned stories and yelled at Peter Parker to get me more photos of that web-slinging vigilante, Spider-Man.” We love this country. Thanks Stephen! • source

Culture: Conservatives don’t realize Cobert is joking. Colbert is thrilled.

  • I’m thrilled by it! From the very beginning, I wanted to jump back and forth over the line of meaning what I say, and the truth of the matter is I’m not on anyone’s side, I’m on my side. The important thing is that the audience laughs.
  • Stephen Colbert • Regarding an Ohio State University poll which found most conservatives thought he was “one of them.” The comical pundit puts in a lot of long hours to bring teh funnay, with both him and his staff of 90 working 12-hour days, which he makes look unbelievably easy. • source
