That's Latin for, "While I breathe, I hope." It is also the motto of South Carolina, which is the home of Stephen Colbert. He's relaxing over the holidays in South Carolina, but while relaxing, he is still thinking and thus writing. I spotted this guest editorial today in "The State" by Stephen. (I saw it today, but it was in "The State" on December 22.) It clarifies the whole South Carolina primary hullabaloo. All he wants is to have the Republican primary named after him and to let South Carolinians decide if
(_) Corporations are people
or
(_) Only people are people.
It is fascinating to read because Stephen wrote it and everything he writes is fascinating, and it is very informative too. Information is good.

I Am a Good Boy
If you care about democracy, and if you did not watch the show tonight, then you should go over to Colbert Nation and watch tonight's episode there. Here's why: Nat Geo Wild, Animal Planet, Stephen Colbert's South Carolina Serious, Classy Republican Debate and Cesar Millan. That should get you interested.
It's that time of year again and you know what that means. It's time for The Blitzkrieg on Grinchitude. Some large department stores are no longer wrapping gifts and Santa is sometimes encouraging kids to lower their expectations, but we get the idea that a long time ago, a certain little boy was heartbroken because he did not get the bike he wanted for Christmas. That's okay. Stephen has moved on since then.
Stephen took a break from reporting on the important news of the day to tell a funny story. Seems like over at FOX recently, Megyn Kelly ran a graphic of the Republican front runners. There was Mitt Romney in second place at 17.2% in the poll. However, if you look closely, you see that it is actually a photo of President Barack Obama. This was a good time for Stephen to throw in Sigmund Freud's name, and a photo of Megyn Kelly. In all fairness, FOX did realize the error and corrected the mix-up. In her explanation, Megyn Kelly clarified, "As it turns out, they are not the same guy."
Daniel Craig was the guest tonight. You may remember him from James Bond movies. (Stephen certainly does.) Not only is he in James Bond movies, he also is in the soon to be in movie theaters, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
The show just kept getting better and better. For one thing, there was a tense and intense arm wrestling competition and I won't spoil it by telling you who won. But the best of all things is Santa stopped by and left a wonderful present for Stephen. An extremely happy Stephen declared, "I am a good boy. I am a good boy."
We won't see Stephen again until 2012! Next year!! So, no more The Colbert Report for a while, but I will continue to post news, trivia, predictions, and whatever comes to mind. In no time at all, it will be 2012 and Stephen will be back. Hang in there.

Nat Geo Wild
More tonight about SCSCSCRD. That's right, Stephen Colbert's South Carolina Serious, Classy Republican Debate looks like the details are getting finalized. While initial plans were to have it on Animal Planet, now plans are to have it on Nat Geo Wild. And all because Stephen got an edible fruit bouquet. Mark your calendar. Stephen doesn't have a date yet, so yes that makes it difficult, but Stephen suggested marking every day next year so that you don't miss it.
You can expect that there will be political news any time you turn on the TV, listen to the radio or pick up a newspaper. Mitt Romney has picked up another endorsement from a political insider. Christine O'Donnell (of I'm not a witch fame) has endorsed Mitt Romney. But what about flip flops? No problem. You see, according to Christine O'Donnell, "He's been consistent since he changed his mind."
Commercial sponsors. Just go look. I can't believe this product exists, but Stephen demonstrated it on his show tonight.
Tonight's guest was Ray Odierno, Chief of Staff, United States Army. No, he did not wear a TV hat. Stephen and Ray Odierno talked about the troops. They are coming home from Iraq by the end of the year. Stephen asked what he would say to employers about these young people coming back and needing jobs and General Odierno made a pitch to employers to hire these highly qualified and well disciplined men and women.
And then, to refresh Stephen's memory, he asked, "Didn't we make a bet that when we finally left Iraq you would let me shave your head one more time?"
It's not often that guests can make Stephen laugh, but Stephen did laugh while denying that any such bet had been made. After an unsuccessful attempt to get General Odierno to throw his hat into the Republican ring, the two men sang "I'll Be Home For Christmas" as a tribute to the troops.

South Carolina Serious Classy Republican Debate
Trump is off. Stephen is on. As you may know, Donald Trump (The Donald) planned on hosting a Republican Debate. Unfortunately, no one was interested. Well, not no one. Two people were interested, but that would be somewhat, if not downright, boring. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were planning on attending. So, Donald called it off saying it might be inappropriate just in case he ran for President as an Independent.
Don't you cry. Don't you weep. Stephen is still planning on hosting the:
"Stephen Colbert's South Carolina Serious, Classy Republican Debate"
sometime in January. Plans are for it to be on the Animal Planet.
Stephen reported on the high cost of Free Speech tonight. He threw around numbers like $7.5 million and $270,000. Of course, he got those numbers from Wisconsin back when there were protests at the Wisconsin Capitol. There would not have been such a discrepancy in those numbers if the math teachers had not been fired. But, with the high cost of Free Speech, the answer to paying for it is, yes, Corporate Sponsorship. Problem solved.
Anderson Cooper, of CNN, honored Stephen Colbert recently. Stephen returned the favor tonight and honored Anderson Cooper.
Stephen's guest tonight was Mark Whitaker, Managing Editor of CNN. This seems a little bit suspicious to have him on the show right after a story about Anderson Cooper. Mark explained what a magazine is and Stephen clarified for us by explaining that it is a printed iPad.
As is the case with many of Stephen's guests, Mark Whitaker has a new book out. Mark Whitaker's book has a catchy title: "Mark Whitaker - My Long Trip Home." It is a memoir, so I'm assuming he wrote it from memory. Stephen had some kind words of encouragement for his own children for the day that they write a book about their own family experiences.
Like so many stories, this is a book about his family, but he said it is also a book about our country. Perhaps some of you would like to buy the book as a gift. That is just an idea, something for you to think about, but you would not have to worry about getting the wrong size for someone if you buy them a book.

The Black Keys
I noticed last night that Stephen seems to be using one of his own "The Colbert Report: Logo Light Up Pen" on the show. Go on over to Colbert Nation to buy one for yourself.
Back to the important stuff. Iran seems to have captured on of our drones and it seems like Stephen Colbert is just the person to get it back for us. He presented a very convincing argument.
Donald Trump will host the next (and probably not the last) Republican debate on December 27. Then he will let the whole world know who he endorses.I can hardly wait. Many people have weighed in with their response to this news from The Donald.
Ari Fleischer: "invitation to a circus"
Karl Rove: "I think the Republican National Chairman ought to step in and say we strongly discourage every candidate from appearing."
Mark McKinnon: "this Trump debate is proof the inmates have taken over the asylum"
Apparently, however, Mitt Romney is not going to attend the debate. I wonder if that will make it harder for him to get the "The Donald Endorsement."
In response to all of this, Stephen Colbert is planning the South Carolina Serious, Classy Republican Debate. It will be sometime in January on the Animal Planet.
The Black Keys were on tonight. They are much quieter and more reserved when they are talking than when they are singing. Go to Colbert Nation to watch last night's show and hear them. Also, there's a bonus song on the web, so always a good reason to go to Colbert Nation.
