Jon took a break from discussing world headlines to mention yet another sign of the coming Apocalypse... Jimmy Dean's Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick. Wow. I'm outrageously disgusted... but, at the same time, I know that when I see these in the supermarket, I'm going to have a fleeting thought about purchasing a box. And then I'll throw up a little in my mouth and move on to other microwavable delectables.

"Northern Explosure": This just in... North Korea is still crazy. Bill O'Reilly seems to think that North Korea (and every other country that hates us) is ramping up the threats/violence to make Americans turn against the administration and grant the Democrats victory in the mid-terms. Oh, O'Reilly... You make me LOL so hardcore.

Pennsylvania Representative Curt Weldon is in a bit of trouble, involving two Serbians, Dragomir and Bogoljub, who were named in a tragic typewriter accident. The Republicans, like Bill O'Reilly, are kind of pissed that dirt like this is being dug up right before mid-terms. Oh, Republicans... You make me LOL so much more hardcore.

"This Week in God": Ah, I was wondering who they were going to bring in to take over the God Machine. Samantha Bee jumped into fill the shoes of Rob Corddy (who attempted to fill the shoes of Stephen Colbert). She was... okay, I guess. It just made me miss Stephen more. C'mon, Bee! Enough of the girly slapping. Really give it to the Machine! Bit of coverage about Stephen Baldwin (the poor man's Daniel and the homeless man's Alec) and his Jesus-iness, and the all-new Shalom TV ("Finally, a TV network run by Jews!").

The night's guest was Kirsten Dunst, star of Marie Antoinette. For some reason, I've always been extremely, extremely annoyed by Dunst, so, in fear of being overcome by a sudden need to drop-kick the nearest small mammal, I tried not looking directly at the screen while she was talking. It was an okay entertainment interview. Minimal Marie Antoinette talk.

Jon/Stephen: Stephen Colbert pimped the upcoming Daily Show special, starting the week of October 30... TDS will be in Ohio to cover the mid-term elections (with an appearance by BORAT!). Whoo! Moment of Zen: The Argentinian Labor Leader has half of Radio Shack -- and a lone TDS mic -- shoved in his face.
