Hey there, Zoners! Remember me? I’ve been somewhat MIA the past few weeks as real life caught up with me, wrestled me to the ground, and basically kicked the snot out of me, but I’m back with a quick round-up of some news items to entertain us as we contemplate our resolutions for 2011 and how soon we’ll break them. I’ll have a year-end round-up of “best of the year” zeitgeist items to post later this weekend, but for now break out your favorite celebratory beverage and enjoy the final zeitgeist of 2010!

How about that weather, Zoners! My apologies for last night’s miss, was digging out from under the blizzard. Tonight’s delectable mergfurrian sleegledranker is a visit from Christmas Future. Five hundred years in the future, to be exact, and rocking a silver lamé suit.
Fan Art: Stephen Colbert tattoos
December 28, 2010 By
Nothing says, “No, seriously, I’m a fan for life!” than permanently etching a celebrity’s image onto your skin. Here’s a fun collection – some good, some bad, and some just a wee bit creepy – of some Stephen Colbert-themed tattoos from the hardest of the hardcore fans in the Colbert Nation.
Video: Stephen Colbert performes “Raven” from ‘Wigfield’
December 27, 2010 By
A lucky few were able to go to a live performance reading of “Wigfield: The Can Do Town That Just May Not” July 30 and 31, 2003 at the Post Street Theatre in San Francisco. One was smart enough to bring a video camera, and was able to catch Stephen Colbert performing the “Raven” monologue from the book. While the camera is a bit shaky, it’s still a funny and fascinating performance to watch.
All You Need To Know: Week of December 20 – 26, 2010
December 27, 2010 By
Even though the show was dark this week, plenty of bustle here at No Fact Zone. I hesitated putting O’Reilly under “mainstream media” but didn’t want to give him his own special Ebeneezer Scrooge section. Happy New Year, Zoners!

Hey Zoners! I am home in the snowy north for the holidays, trapped with a computer from 1999 and a dial-up speed internet connection. Oh the horror. The horror. Here is part of last week’s write-up! And happy holidays to those of you celebrating this week!
Klassic Kolbert: International House of Stephen (12/23/2010)
December 23, 2010 By
Merry Christmas, Zoners! Tonight’s American flapjacks are a visit from Christmas Past, hailing from Patterson Springs, North Carolina. Let’s hope a certain someone out there learns the true meaning of Christmas. Are there no poorhouses? Oh, I mean, the “Judeo-Christian tenet of personal responsibility”.
Video: Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell rehearse the infamous “Maya Angelou” sketch
December 23, 2010 By
For those of you who have seen the small bits and pieces of the infamous “Maya Angelou” sketch that have floated around since the Second City Alumni show in December 2009, I know you will appreciate this adorable video of Stephen and Steve rehearsing the sketch before the show, along with a rendition of a song that I think was written especially for this sketch when it was originally performed. Enjoy!
