I'm an Idiot

Just joking. I work hard at being super smart intelligent. Whether that hard work pays off, well....

But speaking of geniuses, Time came out with their Double Issue of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World." I cried for an hour because, yet again, I didn't make the cut.

Guess who did. Do you really need to even think for a moment? Okay, no more suspense.

Stephen Colbert is one of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World." Note that the previous sentence does not have an exclamation mark after it. That is on purpose. It's not a surprise. It's not unexpected. Why wouldn't Stephen make that list? He is the very essence of influence.

He has run for President, of the United States of America no less! He has testified before an actual Congress! He has been the focal point of many rallies! No, no - that sounds wrong. He has been the star of many rallies, yes, that's much better! He has a Super PAC, which is quite easy to accomplish, I agree, but his is the best! He had a Christmas Special! He provided Winter Olympics coverage on NBC! Oh, the list goes on and on! And on!

So, go out and buy Time Magazine for April 30, 2012. His photo is the second one (that is if you believe in counting diagonally from top left corner to bottom right corner like I believe). His name is one of only 15 on the cover, right between Benjamin Netanyahu and Adele. Having your name on the cover makes you more influential than those other 85 who don't have their name on the cover.

I wanted to be sure to let everyone know about this. Stephen is so humble that he probably won't even mention this on the show tonight. Maybe the audience can yell his name when the show starts tonight as sort of a one-time tribute to him.
