Zoners! Welcome back for the last day of the club. Thanks for your participation so far, and here are the last set of questions: 1. Amy offers plenty of recipes for everyone to enjoy? Do you have any family favorites that you would like to share? 2. The Zoners are a creative bunch. Are there [...]

Stephen Colbert in the Zeitgeist – May 30, 2009
May 30, 2009 By
Hey Zoners, how’s everybody doing this weekend? We’ve survived another break, and new shows are coming up starting on Monday. I know I’m going to be happy to see Stephen’s smiling face back on my TV. It was a mostly quiet week in the Colbert newsosphere (except for this spoiler alert for Stephen’s upcoming Persian [...]
Weekend Brunch
May 30, 2009 By
Today’s brunch is scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage patties, fluffy buttermilk biscuits and fresh orange juice, provided by the lovely staff at the Mosaic Lofts building in downtown Dallas. Oh, and they’re throwing in free chair massages, so get there fast! Well, Zoners, we’ve survived another break from the show. I get the feeling, however, that [...]
The Stephen T. Colbert Book Club for the Literary Excellence: Day 3 – I Like You
May 30, 2009 By
Zoners! Let’s change it up and talk I Like You. Get crafty with these questions: 1. First, have you ever tried any of Amy’s recipes? Which ones do you recommend? I must say, I’ve tried her signature cupcakes and they were delicious. 2. Do you have a favorite chapter of the book? Are there any [...]
Spoiler alert: Guess who’s taping a ‘Colbert Report’ segment
May 29, 2009 By
Tip of the hat to Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire for this one, which I’m hiding behind a cut because of its spoilery nature. Seriously, don’t click past the cut if you don’t want to know who’s lining up for inclusion in one of Stephen’s Persian Gulf shows. EDIT: Also, in case you’re wondering, this story [...]
The Stephen T. Colbert Book Club for the Literary Excellence: Day 2 – Wigfield
May 28, 2009 By
Zoners! Let’s continue the discussion, get down to the nitty-gritty, and enjoy. 1. There have been talks/ridiculously high fan hopes of turning Wigfield into a movie. How do you imagine that *really cool* possibility? Are there any other actors or actresses you picture in these roles? 2. Wigfield is a pretty biting satire on the [...]

May 28, 2009 By
Normally, Gratuitous Name Dropping type blog entries are reserved for our Zeitgeist posts. But name drops that make me laugh out loud get their own special post. This is not the first time Dr. Saad has written about the amazingness that is Sir Dr. Stephen Colbert – say it with me, people … Man Crush. [...]
‘Colbert Report’ writer drops some serious Persian Gulf puzzle hints
May 28, 2009 By
A few weeks have passed, and it seems as if no Colbert Nation member has definitively solved the Persian Gulf puzzle posed on the J.J. Abrams episode. And we Zoners have tried, as have the ColbertNation.com forum members. We’ve been given quite a few hints, including a super secret hint from Stephen’s Twitter feed. And [...]
HuffPo asks readers who the sexiest comedians and comediennes are
May 27, 2009 By
If you’re dying to participate in a poll or two, the folks over at Huffington Post are asking who America’s sexiest funny people are. Our friend Stephen Colbert is one of the men up for the honor (he’s currently running second only to Jon Stewart and is followed by John Oliver), and Amy Sedaris is [...]
Klassic Kolbert: Red Yellow Blue and Black Like Me
May 27, 2009 By
Since I’m finding the howls of “bigot!” and “prejudice!” from certain elements of the right wing over Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination kind of sadly amusing (in that eyeroll-inducing, “how predictable” sense), I thought this would be a good time to revisit another vintage Stephen Colbert clip. Again, from The Daily Show, here’s Stephen baring his soul, [...]
