It wasn't followed by a dance montage, but his tearing into a memo he received from Wheat Thins is one of my favorite Colbert Report bits.

That stuff actually works? I thought the company that manufactures Airborne was forced to admit they just make it out of sugar water and hope a few years back.

I'm Sick Thread

Andrew Bird "Banking on a Myth"
Arcade Fire "Neighborhood #4 (Kettles)"
Alela Diane "Of Many Colors"
Speedy Ortiz "Cash Cab" [Boo, I had a nice string of "A" artists going.]
Lambchop "If Not I'll Just Die"

While this might not be the kind of victory that a female or Doctor of another race would have been, it is a pretty great fucking victory for swearing.

This movie looks so boilerplate that it seems like it came together as an organic, natural occurrence. Like, a film crew was compelled to make a movie about Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg as two undercover cops fighting Mexican drug cartels in the same way that salmon are compelled to swim upstream to spawn.

I'm going to DiNic's on Saturday, which has a roast pork sandwich that Adam Richman said was the best sandwich in America. And if there's anyone whose taste you can trust, it's the man that once ate 2-gallons of ice cream in seven minutes.

Never be ashamed of a shuffle that includes Flight of the Conchords.

Book: The Yiddish Policemen's Union. Jews! Noir! Gallows humor! A veritable literary Reese's Cup of things that appeal to me.

Andrew Bird "Orpheo"  [The lovely alternate version of "Orpheo Looks Back" that's on his Hands of Glory EP, which I think I like better than the original.]
The Soundtrack of Our Lives "Freeride"

That sounds like a line out of a hardboiled detective story.

Not enough O'Neal.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor "Mladic"
Titus Andronicus "The Battle of Hampton Roads" [Mmm, bagpipe solo.]
Porcelain Raft "The Way In"
Harvey Danger "Meetings With Remarkable Men"
The Men "Ex-Dreams"

Where does Coily fit into God's plan for us?

Laura Marling "Pray For Me"

It is kind of plot overload. The points I needed clearing up were SPOILER! who sent Booker to  Columbia in the first place and how Booker could be both Comstock and the person who gave Elizabeth to Comstock.
