Stephen Colbert is one of Esquire’s “75 Best People in the World”

This is a pretty silly list (sillier than most, I mean), but I still like that the folks at Esquire were sharp enough to realize that our Stephen Colbert deserved a place on it.

The 75 Best People in the World

There are many more do-gooders, but these particular men and women — because of their talent, achievements, virtue, and two other essential qualifications (having to do with puppies and drinking) — make us happy

The arched eyebrow of a grateful nation.

As I said, it’s a silly list (Rachel Maddow, Meryl Streep and David Sedaris made the list, alongside of such luminaries as Lisa Simpson and George Foreman), but it’s kind of fun, regardless.

      Oops. I never have been able to spell Buchanan’s name.

        Oh, no, sorry! I wasn’t commenting on your spelling. I was commenting on him being included in the list!

          Oh, no, I knew you weren’t! I actually posted my 1st comment before I read the rest of them, including yours. I agree with you; including Pat Buchanan was baffling.

    LOL! Anyone else who loves The Food Network I’m sure got a grand old chuckle about the comment about Ina Garten. Hilarious.

    I kept looking for Jon…. but I’m glad Stephan was there! It does make me happy that he’s successful, and I always turn to these guys to feel better after a bad day.
