Stephen Colbert was in town for the Olympics, and I got to see a taping of The Colbert Report.
I totally lucked out: I arrived relatively late (some people had been there since 1 or 2 AM), and there was a lineup that snaked around by the entrance to Science World. By the time I was there, it had snaked back to near where it began. Then, all of a sudden, everyone just started running, and since I was near the start of the line I got a reasonably decent spot to stand -- and plus I got to sleep in a bit!

So, I went to the Los Angeles version of Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity." I was standing and watching the jumbotron when I felt a tap on my shin. I turned around and a guy sitting in a beach chair gave me an annoyed look and a "hey, move out of the way" wave. I said "Don't you think it's kind of funny that we're at a Rally to Restore Sanity and you expect people to move when you're sitting in the middle of a standing crowd?" He said "No, I got here at 9 am so I'd have a good seat and I expect people to let me see."
So I stood in front of him about five times longer than I originally planned.
As I left, he pointed his camera at me and took a picture, as if that would somehow annoy me. Instead, I took it as an invitation to take pictures of him. He seemed really happy about it.
I went to the rally in D.C. today, there was a gigantic crowd, had to be at least 200,000, they whole event was great and the message was one that we should all pay heed too. Jon Stewart for President 2012!
The DVR was paused and I hit the skip forward button; the frozen frame advanced a click or two. A promo is ending and the Report is resuming, and in the flickering interim we get Bob Saget's head on Stephen Colbert's body.
Okay, I admit I thought it was hilarious that this mattress was red, white and blue and had an eagle on it.

I bet Stephen Colbert sleeps on this mattress.

Stephen Colbert got his portrait temporarily placed outside the restrooms at the National Portrait Gallery. I wonder how many new visitors it's bringing in.
