Stephen and Evelyn Colbert also chatted with the man of the hour, Jonathan Alter, as well.
As for Mr. Alter, he had a lot to say about politics. He predicted that Christ Christie would be indicted for the George Washington Bridge scandal (I agreed) and he thought that former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley had no chance to be President (I didn't agree).
At the start of every year my cousin, my brother and I predict 5 things we think will happen throughout the year. My cousin's prediction: Laura will break her wrist!
So I had to go and get myself a wriststrong bracelet as you can see.
The wristrong bracelet helps promote awareness of:
Wrist violence
Wrist related injury
Post-traumatic wrist disorder
A little man. Some might even call him a talking head, a cardboard cutout. But Stephen Colbert is deeper than he appears--and I know him. I have this power photo to prove it.
(Check out the notes to get a sense of Colbert's mind. These are the titles in the stacks where I found him.)

Here's Stephen looking for me in the crowd. Hey, if the President can live in his own reality, so can I.
At one point during the event, he was talking about how kids these days are coddled. They have wear helmets to ride a bicycle and all that ... he said something similar at Knox College. Sorry I can't remember his every word.
Then he described his childhood ... the youngest of 11 kids and his mom stuffing them all in one car (no seatbelts), chain smoking cigarettes with the windows rolled up tight. He won't need to be embalmed, she hickory smoked him.
Now for the fun part. He talked about kids these days getting time outs. When he was a kid he got spanked. His mom's hand was like a fraternity paddle and she'd hit his buttom until it was all pink and shiny.
This got a big "woohoo" from all us gals. Oh, he said, you think that's sexy.
Um, Stephen, the image of you over bended knee being spanked ... yeah baby that's hot!
I thought about shouting "You can spank me Stephen" ... but that image of him in my head made it impossible to speak.
Barlë has had a home at the Detroit Zoo since being rescued from a circus in Puerto Rico. The zoo hired an animal behavior specialist to teach her to be a polar bear after she'd spent 17 years in a cage.
She obviously learned that seals are for eating. In the 5 years she's been at the zoo, she hasn't learned that she can't batter her way through the barrier separating the bear pool and the seal pool. (The seal was evidently unperturbed, and in fact seemed to teasing the bear.)

Normally I would not promote a non-alcoholic product such as this, but it was on Stephen Colbert's "Colbert Report", so it's OK...
Holy crap! Confirmed at #77 in Explore. flickr.com/photos/beer30/1922891044/
FYI, the only pool this was in at the time was Cameratoss.
Albert enjoying a cold one on a hot one. And honestly believing this is gonna be the Cubbies' year. I can't bear to point out the futility. Meanwhile, he believes in the mojo of his personally-autographed Billy Williams cap.
As is obvious, Al Bear also worships at the altar of Jimmy Buffett.
Check out more of Albert in his eponymous set...

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!
Funnyman Stephen Colbert is coming to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics with the US speedskating team to the Richmond Olympic Oval, even if he doesn't qualify for an Olympic team on his own (has tried out for skeleton, bobsleigh and curling so far, with hilarious results).Recently he challenged US speedskating star Shani Davis to a race. Think Colbert was holding back in his practice race with his young coach's Mom, so I haven't written him off yet. (Hey Stephen, watch out for the Richmond punch-in-your-nuts welcome.)
Will no doubt embarrass myself trying to get tickets if he brings his show, The Colbert Report, with him.
Update: Colbert lost badly to Shani Davis, but he did get accredited by NBC, so the fake journalist is coming to the Olympics as a real journalist! And he brought the Colbert Report with him. Watched first taping on February 17th along with thousands of other Iceholes. Was hilarious from start to finish. If possible, am an even bigger fan now. Day #2 just as much fun.
