It’s always a good show when Stephen Colbert puts out a formal call to the Nation. However, the Beer Pong segment was absolutely hysterical. I love it when mainstream media report on something so amazingly fictional that it makes me think the existence of fact-checkers in the mainstream media are as mythical as candy-coated rainbow unicorns who play for the Cubs and win the world series.

Then let the Zoners know your vote in the comments!
- Yes, then it starts a new game called “Who Gave Me Herpes?”
- It seems that it started with a joke article on a humor web site, which got caught by a college newspaper, then picked up by a local news station, which spread it to another news station that was cruising for stories without protection, then gave it to a third station that was going down in the ratings.
- Highly contagious. That’s why smart paper boys use plastic bags.
- Yes, bacteria on my ball. Words as true today as when Dan Rather used them to sign off in 1985.
- By the way I still stand by my forecast six months ago of chocolate rain. It is coming!
- Hell, ping pong gives you crabs.
- I was pushing for the job to go to TV’s ‘House’, but apparently the administration reached its quota of rude, physically challenged egomaniacs when it hired Rahm Emmanuel.
- What’s 36% Of Nothing?
- This is Nationalization [Whew]
- AKA “Doocys”
- I want to squash any further rumors that Eleanor Holmes Norton and I have played Beer Pong together. No truth in this!
- If I keep my gun, I can get as many roses as I want.
- Which must mean the only people carrying weapons in Sotuh Carolina are middle-aged hermaphrodites. They are packing heat, in more ways than one.
- Happy belated Valentine’s, Sweetness. What’s that? You want to thank me with a kiss? You know what? That’s a little PDA. *Later*
- Those aren’t space modules, those are herbal teas.
- I have one habit of conscious eating that I understand, I like to eat things that were once conscious.
- Does that go for food, or do you just kick out the stops on this one?
By the way, I VOTED COLBERT! Long live the Colbert Nation!

As soon as I saw they were naming a part of the space station and leaving it to popular vote, I thought, “Uh oh. I know where this is going.”
Top segment tonight was definitely Beer Pong Herpes. I was definitely rolling over at not only the jokes themselves but also the Fox & Friends segment. They never cease to entertain.

Yay for popular voting, but…
boo for pronouncing my governor’s name wrong. Repeatedly. (Seh-BEEE-lee-us) I could have sworn he’s made fun of her before…
Overall a great show though – another reason not to play beer pong with frat boys!

This was a great episode! I got up early this morning to watch it online before work. Now, I’m starting my day in a cheery mood.
I loved everything about this episode but I voted for beer pong. It was hysterical and it cracks me up when Stephen talks about those friendly friends over at Fox and Friends.
Yay! A naming challenge for the Colbert Nation. I’ve already voted for Colbert several times. It pays to have two computers in the house with multiple browsers. I’ll keep voting until they close it.

Hee. COLBERT is at the top of the NASA “submit your own” list.
I prefer when Stephen directly orders the Nation to do things like this, as opposed to the reverse psychology approach he used with the dance mix. It’s more of a collective, send-out-the-troops thing, which is just more amusing.
My favorite part of the show, actually, was the running joke about EHN.

I was thinking the same thing! That was so funny! My favorite part of the show was the whole beer pong/herpes connection. That made me laugh so many times! “There’s bacteria on my ball!” LOL!

Anyway, the beer pong segment had to be the best. “Who’s been f***ing our ping pong balls?”

I had to vote for the space station — there’s something about Stephen’s calls to action that are just so much fun. I loved the beer pong story and nearly died laughing after watching everyone over at Fox and Friends play it at 7:30 in the morning! And let’s not forget how great The Word is when Bullet “speaks” for itself (“Uh Oh” and “Whew”). Overall, a fantastic show!

On that poll there, I voted numerous times. Deleting the browser history works wonders. Suprisingly, there are people that are voting for Vista. Not me though, not after the way my computer’s been acting.
On this poll here I voted for the beer pong story, just for the line “Who’s been f**king the ping pong balls?”. Classic.

I also have to give some love to the Word. The concept of “nationalizing the poor” felt like an homage to A Modest Proposal

If closing your browser & then reopening it doesn’t work, you may have to clear your cookies.
This morning, “COLBERT” wasn’t even in the list of top 10 write-in votes. Now, it’s #1! Way to go Nation. As Stephen said on the show, we can do this!

Among the provided choices NASA has, Serenity is apparently in the lead. Did it occur to anyone that the Nation might be up against Firefly fans?

Wow, another fabulous show! This is shaping up to be an epic week. I also want to send some love the way of TDS, which has been just fantastic this week, too (also love Jon’s blue shirt & tie. His All Grey Wardrobe is nice, but the blue really highlights his eyes).
Off to vote Colbert again. I’m sure NASA won’t use the name, but we’re guaranteed to get some great comedy out of it. And I’m actually happy Serenity is in 2nd place, being a big Firefly fan. It’s all win :)
