Stephen and Jon are back.. and other things

Happy New Year everyone, hope you have a great one..lol 2008=great, okay that was corny.
A lot of stuff happened the last 30 days, Pakistan's opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated at a political rally, Barack Obama came out on top in the Iowa caucus for the Democrats, and Mike Huckabee for the Republicans, Britney Spears loses custody of her children and her sister is pregnant..yup it was a eventful holiday.

But on a lighter and more exciting note..Stephen and Jon are back!

Imagine my surprise and joy when I happened to see that there were new episodes of the Daily Show or should i call it "a daily show" on tv tonight, i was so happy you would not believe it.
It was so good to see the Colbert Report, which no longer has the sophisticated sound "Colbear Rappor"[yeah I can't spell], it now sounds just like the way it's spelt, Stephen got a5 min standing ovation [i may be exaggerating see for yourself]with cheers and everything; at first i thought it was well deserved but after awhile i began wondering it they left the applause sign on (intentionally of course)

Of course the usual banter ensues with the ever-present reality of the writer's strike looming in the background..literally, there were people picketing on sidewalks outside the studio.
Anyways they made jokes about the strikes, etc, the usual thing, except you know there were no correspondents for Jon and a lot of flashbacks, cause well.. there was no one there to write comedy for them. Of course they improvise and it was funny but you could tell that there were no writers there. Anyways really glad to see them.

This is not how I intended to start my first blog post of the year but it just spilled out.
Well as I said it's already been a very interesting month, in fact it seems that it will be a interesting year too. Bhutto was assassinated, Obama won the Democrat caucus and Huckabee the Republican. It's so interesting that Huckabee is now in the lead, he's a Colbert Report veteran and I really think that the Colbert bump is really working for him, because to be honest I had no idea who he was until he went on the show.
Anyways now they,Obama and Huckabee, both have the media hype behind them, it's up to them to utilize it.

Notice something strange, like the fact that my post is strangely devoid of any mention of Stargate Atlantis, well I unfortunately missed it, I know... absolutely dreadful! If you know where I could find the last episode online, I'd be very grateful, thanks.

Anyways that's it for me, Goodbye and God Bless:D
