Normally I take this time each week to talk about the fandom, or other fun stuff. But today I’m going to tell you about my day. At 3:00p today, I was laid off from my Purchasing position at the second largest large-format printing company in the country.

I loved everything about this episode, but “Gotcha Journalism” was definitely my favorite segment. Is it January 20th yet? Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger was hilarious tonight!

A house divided against itself cannot stand, but it’s worth squat in this market anyway. This is The Colbert Report!” Gas-Nost: “Tonight, Russians cut off the natural gas pipeline to Europe in the most boring James Bond plotline ever.” Actually, this is still a better plotline than Tomorrow Never Dies. Union Jerk: “Plus a new [...]
