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
Stephen Colbert
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.

Aww, yay, Stephen!:D I don’t understand why Jon isn’t there though…

Which reminds me – what happened to our edit feature?

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.
