Stephen Colbert is one of Esquire’s “75 Best People in the World”
Posted by: | CommentsThis 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
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.

Who’s Honoring Stephen Colbert’s Sperm Now? Psychology Today!
Posted by: | Comments
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. What makes this especially LOLworthy is the fact that they use a Formula 401 graphic RIGHT ON THE POST! Hahahah!
Again, I think this is a very good time to mention that I am not, in fact, 12. Thank you.
The What-is-Beautiful-is-Good Effect Applies to Men’s Sperm Quality.
By Gad Saad, Ph.D. on May 25, 2009The what-is-beautiful-is-good effect is a pervasive social phenomenon. Generally speaking, it refers to the fact that attractive people receive favorable personality attributions solely as a function of their good looks (see Eagly et al., 1991 for a discussion of factors that affect the strength of this bias). This positive bias manifests itself in other settings wherein one might argue that it should not, such as one’s salary.
…
Some of you might recall an earlier post wherein I discussed why Stephen Colbert is considered to be so sexy. He happens to be both intelligent and handsome. Hence, according to the results discussed in my last two posts, he is likely to possess some powerful “super sperm.” Perhaps this is why he peddles so feverishly his Formula 401 “premium man juice” (as he refers to it). What a humanitarian!

Who’s honoring Stephen Colbert now? The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse!
Posted by: | CommentsBecause, let’s face it, there’s never enough things named after Stephen Colbert. Here’s the scoop behind the naming of the new mascot at UW-La Crosse, courtesy of their campus newspaper, the Racquet:
Students pick “Colbert” as mascot monicker
Chris Rochester
In a campus-wide revote, UW-L students said they want to see the school’s mascot named “Colbert” after Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert.
The referendum, which attracted 3,161 votes, was the second vote by UW-L students on the mascot name. The first resulted in a win for “Eddie.”
But the National Rifle Association, which has an educational mascot by the same name, informed UW-L in a legal notice that the trademark will not be released and a new name was required.
UW-L senior Jack Temple began a petition after Eddie’s rejection to name the mascot “Colbert.” … “Colbert” drew 44 percent of the vote, with 1408 total votes. In a distant second was “Ernie,” drawing only 14 percent. “Colbert” joined the top five names from the first referendum after Temple’s petition, whose Facebook group has 757 members.

Agaporomorphus colberti
The unique identifying characteristic of the Agaporomorphus colberti is its “extremely complicated male genitalia“, which is characterized by setae on the male median lobe. I find it amusing that the defining characteristic of so many critters named after Colbert are their extreme genitalia.
Wheeler is no stranger to giving his newly discovered beetles names with a distinct nod to pop culture – some of his earlier discoveries are tributes the late rock ‘n’ roll legend Roy Orbison and his widow Barbara (Orectochilus orbisonorum); fictional “Star Wars” character Darth Vader (Agathidium vaderi); and former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (Agathidium bushi, A. cheneyi and A. rumsfeldi).

Who’s Honoring Stephen Colbert now? Keith Olbermann!
Posted by: | CommentsThanks to Zoners Bodhi and Sadie07 for bringing this video to our attention. Olbermann mentions the recent article about conservatives finding ‘The Colbert Report’ as funny as liberals, although for totally different reasons. Olbermann comments during the video “So I shouldn’t tell conservatives Colbert greets his guests backstage by saying, ‘You know how this works? I play an idiot?‘” And Keith Olbermann would know considering that he’s been a guest of the show.

‘Rolling Stone’: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert named to “100 Agents of Change”
Posted by: | Comments
Congrats to Stephen and Jon for being named to the number five spot on Rolling Stone’s “Agents of Change” list! From Rolling Stone:
5 | Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Good news for people who have given up on TV newsWHAT THEY’RE CHANGING: All of those critics predicting a post-Bush political comedy drought turned out to be as accurate as a hot Jim Cramer stock tip — especially in the case of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, which seem to have been energized after a late-2008 period of Bush fatigue. More than mocking politicians, Stewart and Colbert have always been masters at mocking the way TV pundits cover politicians, and the election of our very smart president has not made cable news any less retarded.
. . .
Congratulations, boys, we look forward to many more years with the both of you!
