So I guess the biggest news in pop culture this week is that Stephen Colbert is going to be taking over Letterman's chair in 2015.

That's quite a coup really, not the bloody violent kind, you know the peaceful one. I mean it certainly wasn't the underhanded way in which Leno stole the Tonight Show from Letterman. But I digress.

I have enjoyed Letterman's unsettling, slightly ill tempered, very awkward interview style since college. In fact, my best friend in college had a total crush on Letterman so it was kind of required viewing so we could discuss it the next day. Some of my fave shows were when George Carlin visited Dave.

Clips a little long -


I'm gonna miss Dave.

I'm not 100% sure about Colbert. I really do wish him well with this adventure. I have to wonder however, how many people are going to be tuning in thinking they are going to be seeing the satirical show they know and love but instead get the real Stephen Colbert, comedian.

Well we have a year to see this transition. I hope its a smooth one.

Fingers and toes crossed everyone!

Good Morning!
I feel the same way about Colbert.

It will be strange to see him play himself.

Rachel was all freaking out about this on her show last night. She thinks it constitutes bad press. I think Sebelius is going out on a high note

yeah, have you ever been at an endtimes convention - what he was saying sounded all very familiar to me. They righteously believe we are in the endtimes and sound just like that guy. Its very startling to walk into a room and see about 10 people lying on the floor speaking in tongues cause they believe they've prayed so hard.

That isn't exactly sane to me…

This is all confusing.

I read that this affects people who use OpenSSL. IS that correct?

Well, yes and no.. The exploit affects all websites and servers that utilize OpenSSL. Those who have accounts on such websites and/or servers are affected in that the information those websites is insecure via this exploit.

My money is still on Florida Man. Florida is far weirder than California. No, strike that. Florida weirdness is darker.

There is no California Woman. Florida has a couple. Florida FTW.

Ehh I wouldn't discount the Cali crazy. They is plenty of it - it's just more diluted by population.

Good day, folks. Feel something today although I will be pulling in many hours at work this weekend which is good because we haven't had much overtime and I need the money.

Everything free in America. For a small fee in America.

Hi, bloggers! I hope that everyone is well.

I will check back in sometime after my interview at 2:30 PM Central. I am reviewing and will take the call outside as it is a beautiful spring day -- just before we get a few days of rain.

I am back. I think that the interview went well and that I made a very strong impression. I should know by this time next week about whether I go to the next step in the interview process. Hopefully, this is the first of many teaching interviews.
