Walking on borrowed time, we are books -
checked out from the library of gods.
Each god constructed in our image.
Each god our missing parent,
our last great wish for a universe
as vast as this
to make sense to a brain
as small as this.
~Kiran Mehdee
AP has selected Colbert as its Celebrity of the Year, which makes a lot more sense than the former KGB officer chosen by Time magazine.
“It is truly an honor to be named the Associated Press’ Celebrity of the Year. Best of all, this makes me the official front-runner for next year’s Drug-Fueled Downward Spiral of the year. P.S. Look for my baby bump this spring!”
—Stephen Colbert
Industry insider blog Deadline Hollywood Daily, among others, is announcing that The Colbert Report and The Daily Show by Jon Stewart will be returning to the air starting January 7, 2008. Finally I can start paying attention to the news of the world again! Without these two around making regular commentary on world events, watching the news was like chain-smoking unfiltered cigarettes. Thanks, Universe!
