Colbert's at his best in this interview of Twitter co-founder Biz Stone. But the most uncomfortable moment is when Colbert simply lets Stone explain that Twitter is building "value" instead of "profit." Via.

And a few more links:

1. Relatedly, Mark Cuban says Twitter is for old people. I wonder if that's true.

2. Photoshop Disasters points out that new glamour photo of Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian strongly indicates that Reggie Bush is a vampire.

3. Proposed law in Massachusetts will make it illegal for consenting, competent adult 60 years old and over to pose for nude photos.

4. Boston Globe editor says good journalism is "shockingly expensive" and uses as an example the fact that in 2002, the Globe spent more than $1 million to investigate and report on sexual abuse of children by priests. Anybody here think the media's ability to ferret out that scandal decades (centuries?) after it started represents a triumph of the old way of reporting news? Via.

"the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal"

Apparently this is how Obama ended last night's speech:

Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment -- this was the time -- when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

Must be nice to have that kind of self esteem.

While I'm talking politics, here's George Will on the Colbert report. Colbert is so quick on his feet:
