I sit here typing on my laptop in front of my TV with the Colbert Report on TV, waiting for Nate Silver to come on while I enjoy my first Jubelale of the season. And it's more delicious than I remember. I wasn't going to post about a political comedy show, so I'm going to tread carefully and focus on anything baseball that is discussed. Colbert's intro: "My guest Nate Silver is a baseball statistician who thinks he can predict the election. My prediction? Cubs lose!" (Silver picked the Cubs to win)

Silver looks nerdier with glasses off than glasses on. And he almost said DEVIL when talking about the Rays. Draw from this what you will.

Talks about 534...talks about 534... Baseball metephors for politics... Oooh, he just compared the candidates to teams, and one of them was from Seattle. It was amusing. Colbet laughed, the audience laughed, I laughed. That is all I am permitted to say.

Silver goes on to use statistical analysis to predict jetpacks will be available for commercial purchase in 2036.

Wow, that was short and I'm disappointed I stayed up to watch that. My diary is looking rather stupid now that I have nothing left to write about it. Good thing these fine people did the rest of the writing for me...

Topics to discuss:

~ Your politics-filtered take on Nate Silver on the Colbert Report if you watched it.

~ Spielberg and Paramount call it splitsville. Your favorite Spielburg flick?

~ Who is Lewis Hamilton and why is this 4-year-old being paid $30 grand to be the next him? Anyways, that's freaking amazing.

~ Which will end the world first: The man-made black hole, the ring of fire, this, a genocide from an unknown blogger when the Sens lose to the Ducks in a Stanley Cup Game 7 this year, or [insert clusterfuck here]?

~ Fuck the Altima, build your own coupe, SB. It's faster, it's cooler, it's cheaper, it's street legal, and people will think you spent a cool $60 grand for a car nobody has ever seen before.

~ ^ And make sure to make it angry-faced or people will think you're a wussy and paid less for it.

~ I have spent way, way too much time playing this game. Your favorite SFW timewasters?

~ Your company going under? Follow the new trend in sales: humorous honesty.

~ Eight extremely underrated South Park songs. Although I would argue it's 7. And the new season starts tomorrow!
