Ahhhh ... The Holiday Season is over. Officially. I say again, "Ahhhhh!"
Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you that there is no one who loves Christmas -- the whole holiday season, actually -- more than I. I love the lights. I love the tradition. I love the 75% OFF, EVERYTHING MUST GO, GO, GO! sales at every turn. But even I have my limits. And I, for one, am delighted to turn the page and see what January will bring.
The Golden Globes!
American Idol!
The Oscars!
Other stuff I don't really care about!
There are two things, however, about which I am most excited in this new year: the returns of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to the airwaves. I depend on these two stalwarts of journalism to keep me abreast of the latest goings-on on this big blue marble we call home. Their extended holiday vacations left me woefully (or is it blissfully) uninformed and forced me to turn to hacks like John King and David Gregory to get my "facts".
For the remainder of this week, Jon Stewart's guests will be the brilliant, fun, possibly sexy, definitely awesome Rachel Maddow (who looks curiously like Elvis Costello) and White House Press Secretary Dana Perino (which will doubtless be nothing short of glorious). On Colbert, you'll see Benicio "Mushmouth" Del Toro and author Lawrence Lessig.
I'm glad you're back, gentlemen. A sense of peace, harmony and factose intolerance has returned to my life.

Amen. I managed better than I thought I would during their hiatus, but I'm ever so glad they're back. With or without Alan Colmes.
I love them too - although I thought Colbert's Christmas special wasn't that good. No Rob Riggle either.
