Hey, Zoners! Everybody having a splendid week so far? This zeitgeist will be a bit of a catch-up, with a few new items to balance the old ones that were starting to accumulate a little dust. Today we have another article on Stephen’s Catholicism, a drinking contest that didn’t happen, a special appearance by Ozzy Osbourne that has nothing to do with the Rally, and a chance to vote for Stephen to win something.

Stephen Colbert in the Zeitgeist – October 23, 2010
October 23, 2010 By
Greetings, Zoners! I hope you’re all having a splendid weekend, and getting ready for the rally. I know I’ve got a busy week ahead of me because, God willing, I’ll be at the rally myself, helping to restore America’s sanity and/or fear. But we’ve got a week of new shows to get through before we even get to the rally, and there’s been a bit of news piling up in my inbox, so let’s take a look at what’s happening out in the world of Colbert news. I’ve got a few items relating to both the rally and the Report‘s fifth anniversary, evidence of the Colbert bump in action, and an entire multimedia section. Here’s your zeitheist zeitgeist for October 23rd.

No doubt everyone here has read I Am America (And So Can You)!, right? (Please don’t tell us if you haven’t …) If so, then you’re familiar with Stephen Doyle’s work, whether you knew it or not. Mr. Doyle — one of those “good” Stephens, the kind with a “ph” — designed the cover for that estimable contribution to literature. In return for so attractively packaging I Am America, our Sir Dr. Stephen Colbert provided a lovely intro when Mr. Doyle was honored at last night’s National Design Awards.

Huffington Post’s Sanity Bus price tag: $250K and counting
October 11, 2010 By
Well, we said before that Arianna Huffington’s offer to provide buses to the rallies was an incredibly generous gesture. Now that we’re seeing the cost of this offer, it’s even more staggering.
The Wrap has the story, and it looks like Arianna’s offer was as much of a surprise to her HuffPo cohorts as it was to delighted New Yorkers.
