If you remember, Stephen stole Bill O'Reilly's microwave, (which is just like Bill O'Reilly: a little old, a little square, and does not care what you are saying) and Stephen is auctioning it off. Why, then, is Stephen sad? It seems that Papa Bear actually appears to think that Stephen is mocking him and therefore he called Stephen a ______. He would not say what he thought of Stephen.
Probably it is one of these, according to Stephen.
-- Humanitarian
-- Stud Muffin
-- The Wind Beneath Bill O'Reilly's Wings
The bidding for Bill O'Reilly's interview notes shot up to $9,999,999 before dropping down to $30,000 because he didn't get only verified bids. "Bill, with all due respect, you're an idiot."
The bidding for Stephen's auction of Bill O'Reilly's microwave shot up to $98,000.00 before then dropping down to $3,100 because the $98,000.00 was not a verified bid and Stephen made an honest mistake that could happen to anyone.
Stephen said that he used that microwave for many things, including melting an action figure of Al Franken. Whoa, that was way back on January 30, 2007. I don't even remember him doing that! By now the auction is over. I hope we find out tonight who had the winning bid. Maybe it will be Bill O'Reilly.
Again we were treated to another report live via satellite (in Sochi) from Buddy Cole who hoped to meet up with Bode Miller, U.S. Olympic Skier. Surprise surprise - Bode Miller was live in Stephen's studio. What a treat!!! Stephen asked if he would continue to ski and try for even more medals. Bode Miller is not sure and Stephen grabbed that opportunity to suggest he join the Olympic Curling team.
We had a bit of a commercial endorsement for Aflac and it made me wonder if we might see the Aflac duck on as a guest sometime soon. That would be a great show. Are you listening, Stephen?
Anyway, back to Buddy Cole. He finally was able to finish up his documentary in Sochi and surprisingly it was in a gay bar. Due to time zone differences, Buddy Cole was able to fly back from Sochi during the airing of the last video about Sochi and appear on the set next to Stephen. Something most of us did not realize but Stephen did is that Buddy Cole is actually a Canadian. I hope this is not the last we see of Buddy Cole just because the Olympics are over. I also hope this is not the last we see of Buddy Cole just because he is Canadian.
General Stanley A. McChrystal was Stephen's guest. You may know him from Rolling Stone or from his book, "My Share of the Task: A Memoir." Stanley McChrystal said he was in favor of one year of paid national service by all our young people. It doesn't have to be military service. It could be education or health care service.

Vote For Stephen
I will be brief. Stephen talked about ENDA and LGBT. He doesn't always know what those initials stand for, but you can find out about ENDA from Al Franken here at Huffington Post. It sure seems like this is a law that is long overdue.
There's still a major sports team using a disrespectful team name. Stephen demonstrated by using a comparison of how bad something could be, but that just brought out a lawyer and Stephen had to sign here, here, and there. That usually happens after the show suffers some "technical difficulties." I can't think of a way to talk about it without saying the name, so I'll just send you over here to USA Today to read about the protests at yesterday's game. Even Jesse Ventura is quoted in that story.
There's a bit of bullying going on amongst some football players. Big time, scary bullying. This is not ice cube down your shirt type of joking around. This is calling people very bad names and threatening them. Read about Miami Dolphins controversy here at New York Daily News.
Now for some positive news. Have you ever heard of the People's Choice Awards? Well, Stephen, yes our Stephen Colbert, has been nominated for a People's Choice Award in the category of Favorite Late Night Talk Show Host. You, yes you, can vote for him.
Go here and then scroll down to Favorite Late Night Talk Show Host (near the bottom of the middle column) and click on that. Then scroll up again and vote for Stephen. Skip over Conan O'Brien, David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. Then Click on Stephen to vote for him.
Here's the cool thing, you can vote for Stephen as many times as you want. That's right. Vote *** For *** Stephen *** as many times as you want. Wow. Wowie.
The guest last night was Daniel Lieberman talking about his newest book, "The Story of the Human Body, Evolution, Health, and Disease." This is cool. A lot of what the two of them talked about is at that link, so go take a look. I will tell you, he kind of hints at sugar and trans fat as being bad for us. But it was an interesting interview. Stephen kept trying to change the subject and get away from what Daniel Lieberman was talking about. But I give credit to Daniel Lieberman. He stayed on topic and while he may have agreed with some of what Stephen was saying, he kept plugging away at everything that he wanted to talk about without the need to be rude. I'm sure it's an interesting book.
Now, go vote for Stephen.
