Congress has $20 million for an Iraq victory party. I thought this was a joke. It's not. However, the ice sculpture of Saddam pissing freedom was a joke. Unfortunate.

"Operation: Just Clause": Holy crap. Bush quote on the Iraq War... "When this chapter of history will be written... it's going to be a comma -- the Iraqis voted, comma, and the United States of America understood that Iraq was a central front in the war on terror and helped this young democracy flourish." A comma? Jon was spot-on... The Spanish Inquisition can be summed up as just a tilde (~). The extended montage of Bush trying to explain what is job is... that was brilliant. Jon seemed genuinely pissed about it. Oh, and the part when he plugged the cord into an avocado was great.


"Poll Smoking": Yet another joke about the name. I hope they let that go soon, 'cause I think it's a bit old. This was the first time that the statistics presented actually interested me. In summary, America's education system is making our children fucktards. Big laughs for calling Florida a "flaccid penis with tiny ball sack" and Montana "Larry King's face in profile". Ohh, it's funny because it's true.

The night's guests was David Rakoff, author of Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never- Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems. This was a really fantastic interview. "The vagina can take a lot of punishment"? Amazing. I think this was the first time in a long time that I've jumped onto Amazon.com to place an item in my shopping cart right after hearing a guest. "Seat of Heat": Jon asked Rakoff, who has dual citizenship for America and Canada, about the key to defeating Canada.

Jon/Stephen: Thursday nights on The Colbert Report... ladies drink free! Moment of Zen: Bush is the decision-maker. And the decision-maker makes America LOL so hardcore.
