Stephen Colbert's NYT Op-Ed Piece

With apologies to Alan Ginsberg, it is to howl. I'm making the people in the cubes around me uncomfortable with my spit-takes and snorts.

I Am an Op-Ed Columnist (And So Can You!)

Surprised to see my byline here, aren’t you? I would be too, if I read The New York Times. But I don’t. So I’ll just have to take your word that this was published. Frankly, I prefer emoticons to the written word, and if you disagree :(

I’d like to thank Maureen Dowd for permitting/begging me to write her column today. As I type this, she’s watching from an overstuffed divan, petting her prize Abyssinian and sipping a Dirty Cosmotinijito. Which reminds me: Before I get started, I have to take care of one other bit of business:

There. Now I’ve written Frank Rich’s column too.
