Stephen Colbert (soft t) has been tapped to replace David Letterman as the host of Late Show with David Letterman; I wonder if it will still be called Late Show with David Letterman.

No introductions are really necessary as half of the students at Yale have a selfie with Colbert (soft t) as their profile picture.  I personally am very excited for Colbert (soft t) to step into Letterman’s shoes as the host of Late Show, I just hope that my parents will let me stay up to watch the first episode when it airs!

It is rare that I hear smart people hypothesize about the existence of extra-terrestrials and am not disappointed to find out that by extra-terrestrials, they mean some fossil of a sea-monkey-like-critter somewhere on mars; Bill Clinton didn’t disappoint me.

Last Wednesday, Clinton said that he wouldn’t be surprised if we were visited by aliens, he just hopes that it isn’t like the movie Independence Day.

This man was our president and he acknowledged that there is a pretty good chance that we will be visited by aliens some day…ALIENS.  This should seriously scare you.  Clinton was not willing to admit that he inhaled but he didn’t shy away from speaking the truth about aliens.  And lets be honest, if there is one guy who has chilled with aliens, it’s probably bubba…he probably inhaled with them too.

I am preparing for their arrival as we speak, join or die.

A new photo of the Duchess Kate, Duke William (I think that these are their titles but I’m not British so I really have no interest in the matter), their baby George (I’m guessing this is his name given the sweater he is wearing), and dog Lupo has surfaced and for some reason people care.

Am I the only one concerned that if William were to fall out the window that an eight month old child would be second in line for the throne behind a 65 year old whose teeth are so bad that they are putting his health at risk.  Also who does this ego maniac think he is, posing for photos while wearing a sweater with his name on it?  That’s almost as pretentious as wearing a Yale letter sweater anywhere other than old campus.

I think at this point in time I would rather have the dog be king; this could also make a great plot for a sitcom.

Looking for an apartment in “NYC”?  Then head to WLH room 211 this Tuesday at 4pm.

The good folks at Cooper & Cooper Real Estate will be holding a “Renting in NYC” workshop.  If you don’t know what “NYC” is then this is a great place to spend your Tuesday afternoon.

If you do know what NYC is, and you actually want to rent an apartment, I would recommend browsing craigslist or something like that.  I only recently found out that most NYC-ers don’t go to New Haven to rent an apartment.  On second thought, don’t go to craigslist, that’s creepy.

Recently, two porn videos made their way onto the oil and gas section of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ webpage, including a video entitled “sexy babe”.  This title is disappointing; they could have at least given it an interesting title like “Cleavage in Cleveland”.

A spokesman for the Department said that someone was using the site for cloud storage and “unfortunately that (putting porn videos on an official government agency’s website) happens.”

First off, is that something that actually happens?  I don’t remember Kim and Ray J showing up on the State Department’s site during my lifetime, although if it was possible in his day, I’ll bet Millard Fillmore would have figured out how to do it.

Second, do people really store their porn in the cloud?  I have never really understood what the cloud is, so I can only imaging that people who actively download porn don’t know either.  “Sexy babe” doesn’t exactly sound like it is the Inception of porn films so I can only imaging that the guy watching it is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I’m sure that somewhere along the line this can all be traced back to Bill Clinton playing an amazing prank.

Jubilant, warm on the inside, willing to smash things out of excitement, are all ways to describe my feelings when I first heard that Warner Bros. was considering production of a Space Jam Squeakquel.

Lacking jubilance, frozen on the inside, willing to smash things out of anger, are all ways to describe my feelings when I first heard that Warner Bros. was considering making Lebron James the star of second installment of Space Jam.

Warner Brothers would really be selling out if they were to make The Decision to cast Lebron in the movie.  The first Space Jam was such a success because Warner Bros. took the risk of casting a complete unknown, Michael Jordan, as the star of the movie.  Who knows, without that one lucky break, Jordan might still be working at that Chuck E Cheese in New Mexico.

I’ve got faith that the studio that brought us Gravity and Catwoman will make the right decision.

Shia LaBeouf has recently been acting out in ways that would have even Beans and Twitty worried for his sanity.

Last week, Shia set up an art exhibit entitled #IAmSorry in which he stared at visitors through two eyeholes in a brown paper-bag.  This exhibition was not only just a daring work of art, but also a way to recycle the brown paper bag that he wore on the red carpet before the premiere of his most recent film a few days earlier, so the joke’s on you.

If Stevens, I mean LaBeouf, is looking to break into the art world with these recent stunts, then he is in luck because earlier this week he gained an endorsement from an influential online publication, the New York Times, written by one of the art world’s foremost faces of rationality and normalcy, James Franco.

For fans of his early work on the Disney channel, the child star can be seen this month in the family film, Nymphomaniac.

Recently, the YCC announced that it had been reinventing itself over the past semester.  It made the announcement via an informational graphic online. You’ll soon see it on the back of cereal boxes nation wide.

The reinvention includes bumping up the membership of the council from 35 to 70+ members, which is great because if there’s one thing I like more than people telling me that they know who is playing at spring fling, but that they can’t tell me, its more people doing it.

One of the “new projects” that the YCC is most proud of was making the switch from normal sized bagels to mini bagels in the Saybrook dining hall, a change that makes my enlarged heart break into pieces.  Rumors are circulating that once all of the large bagels are gone from campus, the YCC will try to switch the cage-free eggs to caged eggs.  How do you even eat eggs in a cage!?!

I hope that the YCC is stopped before Betty Who replaces Handsome Dan as our new mascot.

The Olympics start up soon and since there are no real major storylines to follow going into the games, we thought it would be nice to look at some of the style choices made by the nations bringing their talents to Sochi.

We must be talking about two different Russias or the designer of these gloves is a real practical joker.  The issue with being a practical joker in Russia is that the KGB will show up to your door and kill you.

Germany’s uniforms show us just how excited they are for the upcoming 1980 Olympics.  They are just really hoping that someone will be able to stop the Soviets in Hockey.  These uniforms look like they were designed by the creative team at Nickelodeon.

One dream. Four Jamaicans. Twenty below zero.

Here’s hoping Ryan Lochte will be there trying to speak english!

Sunday night, Russell Wilson became the first NFL quarterback to win a Super Bowl without actually doing anything.  Wilson might as well have been sitting cross-legged on the sideline eating a Go-Gurt and reading guidebooks, planning his trip to Disney World for most of the second half.

Everyone on and off the field agreed that the game and the commercials were both sensationally bad, and both teams have agreed to play the game again after tonight’s fresh new episode of New Girl, guest-starring Prince.

Peyton Manning left early to beat the traffic home, which actually makes sense as the game was played in New Jersey.
