Stephen Colbert testified before Congress today. Obviously, some people thought he shouldn't testify, especially in character.

Most importantly, here's what Colbert said to conclude his testimony, on why he thought the plight of the migrant worker was important:

"I like talking about people who don't have any power. And this seems like some of the least powerful people in the United States are migrant workers who come and do our work but don't have any rights as a result. And yet we still invite them to come here, and at the same time ask them to leave. And, you know, whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, these seem like the least of our brothers, right now. And I know that a lot of people are the least of my brothers because the economy is so hard, and I don't want to take anyone's hardship away from them or diminish it or anything like that, but migrant workers suffer, and they have no rights."

Now that's how a celebrity can use his soapbox for something he believes in.

Danny McBride talks about Season 2 of "Eastbound & Down". Two Sundays ago, I had one appointment to view, "Rubicon". Now, I have five, as "Eastbound & Down", "Bored To Death", "Boardwalk Empire" and "Dexter" join the schedule.

Barry Zuckerkorn is now advertising Reverse Mortgages.

Now that school is back in session. Here are many lies told by your teacher.

America is retarded.

The strange case of the new Sufjan Stevens album. The record label wants you to buy it, of course, but maybe not from Amazon, who will offer it a steep discount. Or maybe you should buy it there. Aw, no one seems to know what to do.

Title IX is still forcing colleges to choose their poison. I'm still perplexed that UCLA does not have a men's swim team.
