The writers have signed their contract.

In celebration thereof, I have made two updates to this blog:

1. I have ceremonially removed the "Colbert Fans Support the Writers" graphic and link from the sidebar.
2. I am offering you this unbelievable photo that my friend Phil Campbell took when he was only about 30 meters away. From the elephant, that is. What a cool vacation he was on! (The photo looks so fantastic with the colors of this blog layout, I think I'll ask him if I can post it permanently in the sidebar.)
