In closing: Well, that’s it for the show. I’d like to thank my guest, author Carl Hiaasen, and I would especially like to not thank my non-guest, Rain, for our non-dance-off. Yeah! Hey, Rain, let me know when Korea lifts the embargo on balls. Good night, everybody! [fade to Stephen, in an empty and darkened studio, then ... RAAAAAAAINNNNNN!!] *HE’S DANCIN’ IN KOREAN!!!*

Spoiler alert: Photos from the Stephen Colbert-Rain showdown
Posted by: | CommentsEDIT:
Here’s a link to the post of Rain’s visit to the Colbert Report on Monday, May 5, 2008.
Video and Screencap Pictures of Rain and Stephen Colbert’s Dance-Off on ‘The Colbert Report’
The big showdown between our oh-so-culturally sensitive Stephen Colbert and his nemesis Rain is getting close enough to taste; so much so that I know I’ll be driven to distraction if it doesn’t air on Monday, as rumored. So really, what else could I do but fan those flames a bit higher by teasing you with some photos of Rain in a *very* familiar looking studio?
I’m hiding the photos/links behind the cut; click past the jump at your own peril, spoiler-free wannabes!
Hat tip to TWoP’s Botulism for the link!

TIME 100 voting closed: Rain and Stephen Colbert fall to Shigeru Miyamoto
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s official, ladies and gentlemen. The polls are closed and the vote-rigging has ended. From TIME:
TIME asked who you thought should be on the list of the 100 most influential people of the year. Over 200 candidates were given a rating of 1 to 100. And your #1 choice? Shigeru Miyamoto! The video game designer had almost 2 million votes, over 300,000 more than runner-up, Rain. After a tight race at the top, Stephen Colbert came in third place with close to 900,000 votes.
And now Stephen will have to yell both, “Raaaaaaainnn!” and “Miiiiyamoooooto!”
Thanks for the tip, Melissa!
