Friend of the blog and Zoner One of the Heroes tipped me off to an excellent entry in Wikiality that talks about Stephen’s birthday:
May 13, 1964: Great day? Or The Greatest Day Ever? It needs must follow that it is the latter, seeing as how this was the day that the great Stephen Colbert issued forth from his mother’s blessed womb. He is the only person in the 6000 year history of America’s Planet to have been born on this day.
Following Stephen’s arrival into this world, people came from all over, bearing gifts of diamonds, gold, and silver, along with unpronounceable, unspellable spices and scented oils. Many came from miles away, from places such as Iraq, Finland, and California just to see him.
Stephen Colbert’s Birthday is now a national holiday in seventeen countries. Diplomatic and surge-ical inquiries have been made into why the other 326 countries haven’t gotten their sh*t together.
Feel free to put your well-wishes for Stephen on his birthday in the comments.
STEPHEN!!! You probably won’t see this but you are amazing happy birthday and we love you!!!

How does America love thee?
Let me count the ways.
It loves thee to the depth and breadth and height
Of Google’s reach, of blogger’s oversight
For thy big heart and endless pomp
It loves thee when on idiots you stomp
Viewed with cable or youtube’s cathode light
It loves thee freely, despite Viacom’s fight;
It loves thee strongly, like Ann Coulter’s bile
It loves thee purely, like Jon Stewart’s smile
It revels in your gleeful irony
Now America will never part from thee
The power and size of Colbert’s Nation
If networks choose, shall but love thee better After syndication.
Happy Birthday Stephen

Back around 1980 I went to a Second City performance. One of their skits? — there has to be a better word — was about a birthday of the child James Joyce.
James was at home waiting to celebrate and his father shows up drunk, bringing a drunk priest with him. The usual bawdy Irish hilarity ensues, and the birthday is all but forgotten. After the priest finally leaves and his father goes to bed, James and his mother have a talk. She explains to him how she fell in love, describing the romance in the words of the last section of Molly Bloom’s soliloquy. When she finishes, little James lifts his head and looks at her.
“…Mother?”
She smiles at him. “Happy birthday, Jimmy.”

I didn’t forget anything, and people laughed in the right places. Was scary, but I did it.
