He Can Influence Me Any Day He Wants. Rowr.

Time Magazine is conducting its regular search for the 100 Most Influential People of the Year. The numbers keep shifting up and down. J.K. Rowling is #4. NO! Now she's #3. NO! Now she's #5. The one person who is almost always #1, however, is Stephen Colbert. I'm not sure how they're ranking this. He doesn't have the most votes but he's still top of the pops. Interesting. Now I'm not a political creature by nature, but if I urge you to ever vote on ANYTHING it's to vote on Rowling and Colbert. That's a ticket I'd be willing to back.

Well, I'll Be Damned. Stephen Colbert Was Right.

Librarians have indeed been keeping certain facts under wraps. Those of you who know that Stephen has laid claim to inventing the term "truthiness" may be interested to know that someone has legitimate evidence on hand to suggest that they themselves conjured it up. What's more, she's a librarian.

Awww.

Honestly, I find this adorable. Wacky and more than a touch nerdy, but...

awwww. Fangirl artists can be so cute.

Thanks to Marci for the link.

For the "Colbert Report" Watchers Amongst Us

The new catchphrase that's sweeping the nation is now, "Librarians are hiding something." I intend to use this willy-nilly. Copyright be damned.

Why the Paltry Postings?

Well, it's Saturday for one thing. So there's that. But I'm actually at the New York Comic Con today. Librarians, you see, get in free. Cool, huh? While I missed Stephen Colbert's appearance yesterday, I still should have a good time scouting out halfway decent GN fare for the kiddies. More tomorrow. Here are two postings to tide you over until then.
