New staff here at NoFactZone!

I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but on occasion (such as last week), my real life gets in the way of me being able to blog as much as I would like to keep this site up-to-date. I’ve got a couple of people who are helping me with special projects, but I was really hoping to recruit someone who could really help with the day-to-day blogging, to help keep this site the freshest and most informative Colbert site on the net.

I’ve had my eye on one of the members over at the TWoP forums for quite some time. For those of you who frequent those boards, you’ll be familiar with the user MsInterpreted. She writes excellent write-ups on shows, and one of the only people on the web who has ever scooped this blog. And trust me, that’s a hard thing to do.

Well, if you can’t beat ‘em, assimilate ‘em, I always say, and after some serious sucking up on my part, she has agreed to be a contributing writer to the blog!

I can’t tell you how jazzed I am that this blog now officially has three “staff”: Jenny (“Senior International Correspondent”), our behind-the-scenes guru who is writing up episode guides for every show that appeared before I started this blog and who is queen of the great tips; MsInterpreted, our new blogger (“Senior Washington Correspondent”), and wordswithgrace. Wordswithgrace, you ask? Let’s just say that she’s been working on a secret project that, when we finish it, is going to blow your collective uberfan socks off.

Here’s a little intro to our new blogger, MsInterpreted:

In honor of our hero’s correspondent roots, I’d like to introduce myself as a “Senior Washington Correspondent” (keeping in mind that our nation’s capital is not, according to Stephen, a part of the United States). I moved to the District after making my escape from law school, and I’ve grown quite fond of this “chocolate city” with its “marshmallow center” and its “graham-cracker crust of corruption”. The District is a dangerous place to live for a self-confessed news junkie like me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I’m not online reading up on the news, ‘The Colbert Report’ or ‘The Daily Show’, I’m usually immersed in a book or two (or ten). My friends are good at distracting me away from my books for long enough to go out to dinner, catch movies, take in a show or a play or visit one of the many fine museums in the area. Sometimes they make me laugh until my sides hurt by merely showing up. My new favorite addiction: book signings. These are particularly dangerous for me, as they allow me the perfect excuse to meet authors of interest and indulge in my compulsive book-buying habit.

Although I am a fairly recent convert to ‘The Daily Show’, I have adored ‘The Colbert Report’ since its inception and have become a bigger fan of ‘Strangers with Candy’ over the past year. I cheerfully admit to being a Stephen Colbert fan to anyone who asks, but I’m hoping that contributing to NoFactZone will allow me to indulge some of my more OCD tendencies while inflicting a minimal level of annoyance on those who don’t share my love of the brilliance that is Stephen Colbert and TCR.
