And all the other videos from Susie Sampson, bright-eyed star of fake conservative journalism. If the Report employed correspondents, she would be one of them. (Personal headcanon: in any AU where “Stephen” ends up taking over as host of TDS, she is so hired.)

Olivia and her daemon? Probably not (I feel like she would have a bird), but still cute — look, he has a little bow tie!
…Yeah, judging by this picture, a bird would work well. Also, she is clearly a secret Disney princess. With her own unicorn.
Elsewhere, a mystery solved: Olivia is shorter than Jon, but not by much. (And Kristen is taller than I thought.)
This is the first time I’ve gotten to fangirl a celebrity where the big fannish websites were already set up when I got there, and it’s seriously a trip. All the major Colbert sites rose into being after TCR got going (and one, WonkyEar, already fell); Jon still doesn’t have a proper comprehensive hub. My personal fake-news image collection (partially organized on Flickr) is currently over 5,500 pictures, which is bigger than almost any of the places I could go to get more. (The only exception I can think of is the juggernaut ColbertPics.)
But then you have the Olivia Munn sites. And she’s been doing photoshoots and grand premieres and awards shows for years now, and there are galleries with carefully organized albums full of high-res photos for all of them. Including the sexy bikini ones (don’t judge; you know that if Jon or Stephen did a similar spread, there would be dancing in the streets), and ones with titles like “Olivia Munn Coming Out Of Her Hotel” (…okay, those you can judge. Even though she always looks fantastic in them).
I’m drowning in eye candy, and downloading like there’s no tomorrow.
I want to be sorry for her sake that Perfect Couples was canceled, but would love to see her start getting even more air time on TDS. Most of her ouevre on Attack of the Show! doesn’t look worth wading through to find the gems, and Perfect Couples just plain wasn’t that funny — although she was funny on it. (I would totally watch 22 minutes of that character and “Stephen” having a throwdown.)

As protests continue in Iran, and dramatic pictures keep flowing out, check out these pre-election images to get an idea of what the difference is: part one and part two. People go skiing, feed dolphins, catch trains, bowl, hang out on fast-food playsets, compete in chess tournaments…it’s all overwhelmingly normal. If you haven’t seen Jason Jones’ reports from the country, those, too, are well worth a watch.
Keeping the news of that kidnapped journalist off Wikipedia, in a very personal case of “freedom of information vs. security.”
For the GLBT(TSQQIAAXYZ) folks: a quick roundup of ways in which Jon Stewart is an awesome ally. (Although Stephen tweets that it wasn’t so bad before Stonewall.)
Speaking of Twitter, it’s apparently great for customer service.
White dad willing to put in hours of hair care for adopted black daughter. Probably ought to come standard, but doesn’t, so it’s good to read.
The Practical Guide to Help Spurned Political Wives Survive Old Problems in the Era of New Technology. More and more relevant these days.
News that sounds like an urban legend, but isn’t: one study found that gay men have, on averages, larger penises than straight men. (I know someone out there is thinking it: “And people wonder why straight women like slash.”)
