Jolly Green Giant

I won't dispute the seriousness of Stephen Colbert's monologue tonight, he made many good points. But, I will say I was happy to see a plug for Green Giant Niblets. The Jolly Green Giant is almost as famous as Stephen Colbert. You can learn a lot about the Jolly Green Giant company at the Wikipedia article on good old Jolly Green Giant. There is also a link to a competing company - Birdseye. In days gone by, college students at Mankato State would work summers at the Green Giant factory in Le Sueur and other neighboring towns, or at the Birdseye factory in Waseca. I don't understand why Stephen didn't tell all of this tonight. I mean, he showed a picture of a can of Green Giant corn. Anyway...

You might also like to take a look at this link with interesting photo of the Jolly Green Giant plus other interesting photos of Le Sueur, MN.

Stephen had, as his first guest, P. K. Winsome to discuss the Tea Party Movement. Winsome offered his services to the Tea Party. To alleviate the problem of an absence of black folks at rallies that the Tea Party has at various locations, for a fee he will show up and he will be black. P. K. Winsome has many other services that he is willing to offer to tackle some of the serious issues affecting us today. Just go to his website at http://www.pkwinsome.com and find all the information you need to make this a better world.

Moving on.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, was the guest on The Colbert Report. He and Stephen discussed animation and 3-D animation. When Stephen went off topic and asked for an opinion of the actor who played President Hathaway, Jeffrey Katzenberg said, "He was pretty amazing." They then returned to the talk of animation.

However, now I am curious. If Stephen Colbert is able to get Jeffrey Katzenberg to come on The Colbert Report, then why doesn't he even try to get President Hathaway to come on his show? If the guy is that amazing, then bring him on.

Houston, We Have a Colbert

Flying Toasters. Well not quite.

Stephen Colbert announced on tonight's Colbert Report that he has been invited to Houston for Astronaut Training!

Thank You NASA.

Stephen will be in Houston in May to undergo the astronaut training and also to show them his right stuff.

In an unrelated matter, Stephen will now be selling a generic form of his famous Formula 401. It's called Formula 01 Liquid Genetic Material, or Daddy Butter as he calls it. The only reason is because other corporations may start selling a generic form, so he wanted to compete with himself before they competed with him.

As with all his pharmaceuticals, you just know it will have that Stephen Colbert proud stamp of quality. Generally speaking, it's a generic genetic gem.

I Apologize

In the previous post I said that Neil deGrasse Tyson was an astronomer. Today I watched The Colbert Report episode from last night again and listened more carefully. He is not an astronomer, he is an astrophysicist. I am so sorry. I hope that Neil deGrasse Tyson will forgive me. He seems to be a nice guy and I have no doubt that he will just shrug it off. I humble myself to Stephen though. My mistake could bring down his show and get it canceled and destroy his career. So, I profusely apologize to Stephen. Hopefully he will accept by apology.

Bleep Blorp

Neil deGrasse Tyson was on The Colbert Report again. He's up to seven times and after the eighth time he gets, what was it, a free sandwich I think. Neil deGrasse Tyson is probably my favorite astronomer and judging by Stephen's questions and comments, he is most likely Stephen's favorite astronomer also.

Tonight they talked about our waning space program. So many kids are pulled into science because of their fascination with astronauts. The current trend of using robots and unmanned vehicles just won't cut the mustard. Hopefully we can get back on track and get out there in space. If we don't do that, there will be no job for James T. Kirk in the future.

Who knew? Well actually lots of astronomers knew, but according to Neil deGrasse Tyson, an asteroid buzzed by Earth tonight (!) between the orbits of Earth and the Moon. Oh NO! Luckily, it did not hit us here on Earth.

When Neil deGrasse Tyson complained that Stephen Colbert's Earth photo was upside down, Stephen corrected him and told him "There's no up in space. Check and mate. I accept your apology."

QXYZZY

Stephen Colbert has announced his new middle name - QXYZZY. Why???? Apparently Scrabble has announced new rules to allow proper names. That means Stephen Colbert is now legal in Scrabble. However, the letters in his name only add up to 23 points. But with the addition of his new middle name, QXYZZY, his name is now worth 69 points.

Stephen's guest tonight was the Reverend Al Sharpton. He talked about the need for education reform and his efforts with Newt Gingrich to raise awareness around the country. At one point, Stephen made a humorous comment at Sharpton's expense. Without missing a beat, Rev. Sharpton nodded towards Stephen and said that's why we need better education.

iPad

Stephen has an iPad and apparently it was free.

iGuess it works for someone to hint and beg to get what you want.

iRemember my first post here.

iSaid that iHoped Stephen would ask me to be on The Colbert Report.

Well, i'M still waiting.
