all agog

I just got back from a party at which Stephen Colbert was a guest. I sidled up next to him to say something inane about how great his show is (I think that the Colbert Report heralds the end of the age of irony, and I could not be happier about it...see, the prepared sentence I never got to use? So sad), but he was busy and I have been brought up to believe that pestering celebrities is very bad behavior so after noting that his beard grows in gray, I left him alone.
