"Trial and Terror": During his interview with Matt Lauer, Bush seemed to express extreme interest in others murdering everyone that Lauer has ever known, seen, and loved. "These are people that want to come and kill your families!" Holy crap. Way to bring the terror, President Bush.

"John Oliver's Journey: Don't Stop Believing": John filed his first out-of-studio report, which was tremendously well done. He introduced the viewers to his difficult journey through America, a nation built on sepia-toned immigrants, as an immigrant. See, I'm sucker for this kind of thing... Awkard British guys, Benny Hill music (just the music, not the program), and exaggerated suffering... That's instant-funny to me. I'm really liking this John Oliver fellow. Keep it up, man! Oh, and would anyone care to share their funniest story about immigrants being dehumanized at work?

"Kabul n' Bits": NATO is determined to triumph over Afghanistan. Condoleezza Rice addressed the issue during a conference with Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Peter MacKay. Of course, few were really engaged in the material because everyone was busy speculating as to whether or not Rice was dating MacKay. They were awfully friendly with each other... Insert some sort of sexually suggestive gesture here. There was also a bit of coverage on the new Coca-Cola factory in Afghanistan. I was kind of surprised that so few people recognized the Mice and Men joke. C'mon, kids! There's nothing funnier than Steinbeck!

The night's guest was Norm MacDonald, on the show to promote his new CD, Ridiculous. Not much talk about the album itself... just a lot of banter. I smiled a little bit during the Camel Cigarettes discussion ("Why is that penis smoking?"), but I spent most of the time listening to my roommate talk about how much she didn't like this "Norm guy". For the Seat of Heat, Norm was asked a Condi Rice and the Minister of Foreign Affairs question... "Are you they fucking?" Norm answered, quite eloquently, "That guy will fuck everything." Fun Fact: Norm MacDonald called me a crack whore once 'cause I said I didn't find him funny.

Jon/Stephen: JOHN 3:16! Seriously, Stephen Colbert needs to meet his friend John, at the Giants Stadium, at 3:16 PM. Moment of Zen: Old-school Ellis Island video.
