"Like a 6-week old baby trying to make eye-contact with his mom in the crib"

How in the hell does he come up with this sh*t...

[Yoder]

*lists all his injuries*

Colbert: " You've only been on for a week! "

[GNAON]

They were both on FIRE in this interview!

[kaybouie]

[Leslie]

Srsly, Burleson jumped 42.5" at the NFL combine in 2003. Not many people on earth have that standing vert. I know people loved him in Minnesota, but 2010/2011 he was a baller for the Lions. #Lion4Life

Nate and Stephen are brilliant; when the CBS 'skydive' segment aired, Nate said 'time stood one and the same as 'the world stopped spinning' (as in when I met VP Al Gore -then TN US senator-) or not....but surely 'presence' is what changes chronos into kairos. The play (and book) 'Our Town' by Thornton Wilder has a line that states: '....(only) the saints and poets are (sic- present) aware...' Thanks for posting.

I'll vote Stephen Colbert for president
