Welcome to a new week, Zoners! I know the Colbert Nation is still buzzing over last week’s not entirely unexpected announcement of the rally to end all rallies in Washington. I’ll hopefully have some rally-centric news items for you a bit later this week, but for now here’s a quick round-up of news bytes from the past week or so.

Oh, this is fantastic, y’all: the New York State Division on Military & Naval Affairs has posted an article on taping the opening segment of last night’s show.
You should definitely read this story by Lt. Col. Paul Fanning; it’s no surprise he captures all the fun and excitement of the moment, but he really captures its overall sincerity, too.

Oh, I’m definitely looking forward to these “Been There, Won That: The Returnification of the American-Do Troopscape!” shows. Probably not as much as the folks mentioned in this New York State Division of Military & Naval Affairs press release, but I’m looking forward to them a lot, nonetheless.
