Happy Labor Day weekend, Zoners! Today’s brunch is a tasty toasted bagel with honey nut cream cheese, a banana, and Ozarka water. Because in Texas, we’re not quite out of swimsuit season yet. Is everyone bearing the ‘Colbert Report’ break well so far? Next week here at No Fact Zone, we’ll have a lot more [...]

September 6, 2009 By
Hey, Zoners, I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. It’s been relatively quiet on the Colbert news front, with the notable exceptions of the arrival of the C.O.L.B.E.R.T. at the International Space Station, and of course the new issue of Rolling Stone with Stephen on the cover and a fantastic feature article.

“I’d say throw the book at that kid, but he would just read it”
September 3, 2009 By
Hey, everyone! Hope you’re all finding ways to survive this break period; it’s been a bit of an adjustment for me, not seeing Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at eleven each night. One way I’ve been using my extra time is in diving into the weird and wonderful world of books — truth be told, [...]

NASA “offers” Jon Stewart an acronym, too
September 2, 2009 By

Today, they’ve tickled my funnybone by sending a “(Fake News) Press Release” to Space Shuttle Discovery at the International Space Station as part of the day’s Execute Package. From NASA (click here or on the image to enlarge): Yes, they really did send this [...]
