My super-smart and savvy friend Tom points out that rumors abound about Ben & Jerry’s releasing a Stephen Colbert ice cream. Oh please, please let it be true! Maybe it’ll be even better than Häagen-Dazs Mayan Chocolate.

How To Win At Football
This is one possible explanation for why the Indianapolis Colts won Super Bowl XLI! Click here for more winning sports tips! Perhaps we should try this approach in Iraq… or, uh, maybe we already have.
NPR Explores Income Inequality
NPR is doing a series this week on the widening gap between the rich and everybody else. Like global warming, there are those who deny the evidence, but that’s only because they’re happy with the way things are. Many working Americans aren’t.
We’ll see at the end of the week whether or not the series is adequately critical of CEO pay and entitlements, as well as Bush’s tax cuts for the ultra-rich. Click here to go to the series home page.
Randy Newman Defends Our Country
As told back in October (before I figured out how to do embedded audio and video right), I was once a huge fan of Randy Newman, back in his satirical days. Newman is in Newsweek, and I caught him today on BBC radio, talking about his new composition, “A Few Words in Defense of Our Country”.
Newman’s never-great singing voice seems to be failing him, so he just talks his way through this, and it isn’t one of his catchier tunes, but it’s good to have him despairing over Presidential politics enough to write about it.

As expected, Stephen Colbert had something to say about the stupid mess we had in Boston on Wednesday.
Note: this is the first time I’ve posted a clip from Colbert while the show is still on!

This is video of the mysterious objects being placed around Boston. This stunt ranks with the San Diego radio station contest that got a woman to drink water until she died, to win a Wii. But as stupid as The Cartoon Network was, Boston authorities must accept some blame for playing the part of Chicken Little.
