The Colbert Report

Have you ever been surfing the channels around 10:30 at night and come across a guy hosting a show that just seems

really full of himself? It may in fact be Stephen Colbert. (The T is silent there).

When I say full of himself, I dont mean that in a bad way. In fact, he blows it so out of proportion that its really hillarious. The Colbert Report (the T is silent there too) is an offshoot of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

And its possibly funnier.

This Cold War bit was a perfect example. Though the best joke was right at the beginning with why the Cold War isn’t over…

Go Memphis!

I’m not much of a college basketball fan but I will take the time out of my day to recognize the accomplishment of my Alma Mater.
Memphis locked up the Conference USA title Sunday night with a big win over Southern Mississippi. Apparently Derek Rose had a big game according to the sports sites I read. Don’t know who he is but I’m glad he came up big.

Go Tigers Go!

Article: I’m the Idiot Who Bought an HD-DVD Player

This article was on Slate.com Feb 28. When I read it I thought, “Wow, I could have written this myself.” Of course, my version wouldn’t have been as funny, so you can read Josh Levin’s version.

This paragraph in particular is me to a T:

“In retrospect, it might’ve been smarter not to buy either player. But alas, I have a strange affliction that left me susceptible to HD-DVD’s limited charms: I’m a gadget-loving cheapskate. The typical early adopter opens his wallet first and asks questions later; he doesn’t care how many gigs of RAM are inside the MacBook Air, just that it slides into a Manila envelope. The HD-DVD player, however, appealed to a different group, electronics fetishists too imprudent to wait out a format war yet stingy enough to base their purchasing decisions entirely on price. Of course, this is an irrational position, like signing up for the inaugural commercial flight to the moon but only paying for a coach-class ticket. But that’s how my brain works—I have a Creative Zen Micro, not an iPod.”

Well, except I dont have a Creative Zen Micro. I have a Sansa e250.
