• Oprah, Shut Up

Here is a woman who is easily one of the most powerful people on Earth, and all we (and she) have been talking about for the last week is the fact that she's reached 200 pounds again.

But Colbert's fans put him over the top through write-in votes, and the space agency will declare tonight just what the name will be.Of course, some are outraged. There was this painfully earnest op-ed in the Chron.But NASA has not always been
