OMG, Sir Paul knighting Stephen! Stephen must use his new title, hmm, Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A.?
Loved how Stephen’s WHCD speech was practically the thesis statement for the episode.
God, yes, count me as a Beatles fan. Abbey Road will always be one of my favorite albums.

Not a Beatles fan either (my parents, especially my dad, leaned toward classical music), but the few Beatles songs I’ve heard, I liked. Sir Paul’s really witty and I loved their banter. :)

Stephen’s hair was extra fluffy, I loved it! (“Oh. My. God!”)

I saw the WHCD nicely featured at the top of the satire and parody segment, but I was hoping they would show something from TCR or actually interview Jon and Stephen. Oh well. Still glad they drew attention to two talented guys!

It’s the Sean Hannity Hotline. This time they actually let me leave a message. I sort of freezed and just said I was calling on behalf of Stephen Colbert. Rather lame message. I’ll try better next time…if there is a next time.

I watched most of it, and saw a couple of the early clips from the WHCD. Unfortunately, my husband was doing some futzing with the antenna to get it to come in at all (and very badly at that), so I missed what they said about his performance.

The joy on Stephen’s face when singing with Paul was wonderful. I grew up with the Beatles so I completely understand the thrill. And the wisecrack about the Dalai Lama was priceless.

OT: Anybody see the PBS show “Make ‘em Laugh” last night? They featured Stephen at the WHCD under the segment about satirists and parodists. They connected him with a centuries long tradition of US political satire and with past comedians like Will Rogers and his teasing of Hoover & FDR.

hmmmm, last night’s comment was a bit forced. I think I was sleepy?

I forgot to say last night how I found the intuition behind the supply and demand graph quite curious. not at all how it works in reality, those are not the right labels or lines, but I like the reasoning. made me think.

also, I don’t buy the path into the woods thing. I’m busy honing my thinking on the subject right now (taking a decent course in evo bio) and it seems like it wouldn’t really be selected for enjoying to go on a path into the woods. anyway I probably oughtn’t knock it before I’ve read the book, and I am an extremely slow reader, so perhaps I’ll get back to you next summer or so.
