But seriously, do we REALLY need a National Day of Prayer? Do we need to spend taxpayer dollars on billboards reminding us of the National Day of Prayer? Does the White House need to spend staff time and budget dollars on staging presidential events and writing press releases about the National Day of Prayer? And …
I’m no Einstein…
… but I have sat on his lap. That’s right, I finally managed to stump everyone — those who answered, and those who were too scared to register a guess — with this week’s Monday morning trivia question. Let’s review: Of the following DC experiences, which is the only one I can truthfully say I’ve …
Steven Colbert’s getting his own show!
FANTASTIC!! ‘Daily Show’ Funnyman Colbert Gets Show If Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart is the comic version of Peter Jennings or Brian Williams, Stephen Colbert promises to be the same for Bill O’Reilly and others like him. “The Daily Show” regular will star each night in “The Colbert Report,” likely starting in September.
