I think I'm like most people, including Timmy, who think the lion is the best beast. Stephen informed us otherwise. Tiger is better. You can compare for yourself by reading here about lions and reading here about tigers. Interesting stuff at those two pages. I even think Dorothy and friends (of Wizard of Oz fame) were wrong. By looking at the Range Maps, you can tell that lions are in Africa and Tigers are in Asia. So when Dorothy was saying "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!" she probably should have been saying "Lions OR Tigers OR Bears, Oh My!" Just a little technical glitch back in Oz.
Speaking of fried chicken. In Thought For Food, Stephen dissected that KFC Go Cup TV commercial where the two police officers are in the squad car and the KFC Go Cup seems to be the favorite cop food. Then he exposed Fox and Friends and their shameless product placement of the aforementioned KFC Go Cup. A better and easier-to-eat idea was Stephen's Wheel Meat. You can have your fried chicken right on the steering wheel. It couldn't possibly get better than that.
In what must be an amazing coincidence, right before Stephen came back from the break, there was a KFC Go Cup commercial, the very same one that he had dissected on the show! Of all the commercials, it just happened to be KFC Go Cup. Go figure.
Christmas is coming, and that's Stephen's favorite holiday. You better hope you are on his list because he shops from a trendy catalog. It's the Neiman Marcus "The Heart of Giving" Christmas Book 2013. One gift suggestion is a diamond ring experience. Not only do you get to design your ring, but you get to go to Africa and experience the whole fantastic process for yourself. It's about $1.9 million. For half that price, Stephen can do the same for you. He's teamed up with Prescott Precious Stones to offer The Colbert U-Pick-'Em Blood Diamond Experience at the affordable price of only $1 million.
Stephen's guest Tuesday night was Pulitzer prize winning author A. Scott Berg. He is the author of "Wilson." (The president, not the volleyball.) Even though Wilson got us into World War I and started the Federal Reserve and did lots of progressive things, such as trying to get us into the League of Nations, A. Scott Berg thought he did a pretty darn good job. Woodrow Wilson was a fan of what you would probably call a Level Playing Field. Seems like a good idea. He also was in favor of health insurance, but his website wasn't anything to brag about.

I'm A Very Famous Person
Immigration. Stephen talked about that last night especially as it relates to Arizona. While the Supreme Court pretty much slapped Arizona's hand, Stephen was quick to point out that states have their own state birds. However, some states do have the same bird, for example the Northern Cardinal, as their State Bird. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia all have the Northern Cardinal. In fact, if you look at the photos, it appears that they all have the exact same Northern Cardinal.
But yes, each state has their own State Bird and should therefore be able to have their own Immigration Standards. And Currency (with Jan Brewer's portrait?). And Standing Army. And Olympic Team. And Space Program. And debts to China.
Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger last night looked at Pixar's latest treat for us - Brave. If you go to the website for Brave, you can see a preview. So that's like watching part of the movie for free. Go ahead, watch it now, then come back here. I haven't see the movie, but I know how to make it work out for everyone. Merida should go to a shoe store, buy a glass boot and then find the guy who fits the boot. Once upon a time that would be good enough. Times are different now. A simple story about a girl with a mind of her own sends some people looking for secret agendas. I'm anxious to see this movie. I think it will be charming. From the preview, you see the girl molded into her appropriate dress, just like people try to mold her into her perfect stereotyped role. More power to a girl who breaks that mold.
If you watched The Colbert Report last night, I'm willing to bet you found yourself all of a sudden hungry for chicken. And not just any chicken, but some Kentucky Fried Chicken. Stephen talked turkey, oops, chicken, and commercials and Dish Network. Seems they have come up with a way for you to skip right through the commercials. You might think that's a great thing, but as you may have noticed, advertising is all over. If people are not watching the commercials during breaks in The Colbert Report, then the only alternative is for the commercials to be on during the actual show. Thus, we got to see most every kind of chicken you can get over at Kentucky Fried Chicken. And if you get so hungry with all this talk about Kentucky Fried Chicken, you can go to the the website for KFC and find out everything you want to know about KFC. You can even find the nearest KFCs using the Store Locator.
Last night's guest, Richard Ford, is a novelist. Right away Stephen had a problem with that because that means he writes fiction which is made up which means it's all a bunch of lies. Then Stephen had a problem with Richard Ford's latest book, "Canada" because it's about Canada and not about the USA. He also boasted, well not boasted, but told Richard Ford "I'm a very famous person." Once all that posturing was over and done with, they had a nice conversation. We learned how Richard Ford drove to Canada one day, and felt like the weight of the world was lifted. It took him three years to write the book but it's been in his mind since 1989. "I was in Kindergarten then," Stephen noted. Ah yes, Stephen found a clever way to tell Richard Ford he is old. No matter. "Is it true you keep your notes and manuscripts in the freezer?" Stephen asked him. Apparently yes! If there's a fire, the freezer will probably be the last thing to burn, so his manuscript would be safe. Both agreed the ideas would also be fresher.
Stephen did admit to visiting Canada, Vancouver to be precise. Canada is our neighbor, after all, so I am quite sure Stephen actually thinks of Canadians as friends. You know what would be more fun than reading the book, "Canada?" Reading it in Canada!
