Well, I'm Backstage at the Colbert Report...

... trying to blog a little in real time at Colbert Nation.

The gf's here, doesn't quite know that I'm a guest tonight.

This is much harder than I thought.

More to come...

UPDATE: well, when I was told to get into make up, the gf thought they were joking, but then when I got made up, she started to get it.

We enjoyed fine refreshments:

And I was trying to blog away, but y'know, I'm no writer, I should stick with promoting the efforts of people smarter than me.

One of the folks came in with some ideas as to what to discuss, basically a combination of craigslist stuff ("why don't you want to make a billion dollars") to the Colbert candidacy/Donorschoose connection.

That's most of what we talked about, and I think I seemed stressed, Stephen took it really easy on me.

My favorite quote is from Power and Politics:

... he had Craig Newmark (craigslist) on, and the nerd on nerd interaction was hot and hilarious.

Hey, I aspire to "hot and hilarious"...

I should leave this to actual writers.
