   I’m pretty sure that makes you “a friend of the show.”

   Or, under Colbert rules you can claim it.

   @john personna: Amusingly, there’s been no indication of a Colbert Bump from this.

   @James Joyner:

   I’m afraid it was so fast that only us existing visitors would recognize it. Sorry, man.

   Joe Scarborough mentioned a tweet from Doug on Morning Joe a couple weeks ago as well. Something about getting the f*** out of Afghanistan.

   @Doug Mataconis:

   From now on, always refer to Colbert as “friend of the site,” 😉

   This is weird, but I’ve actually suspected for a while that someone at the Colbert Report reads OTB reguluarly, because pretty much whenever you report something bizzare here, it ends up on the show the very next day.

   I was kind of impressed when James was published in The Atlantic. This? NOW you’ve made it to the big leagues.

    In the New Media era?

    Neither.

    (But cool nonetheless).

    Brush with greatness- or whatever credit we give to the Comedy Channel. On the other hand, contributor Al Frankenstein is in the US Senate now…

    I think you guys are, collectively, quite representative of a broad cross-section of “middle of the road” America. Somehow it’s the wing-nuts that reel in all the cash.

    Best wishes to the whole batch here that the current apparent melt-down of the extremes will result in more people looking for information from other sources.
