The alternate for the giant bear photo was: "Does a Stephen Colbert shit in his pants?"I thought Paul Krugman singing "Unskinny Bop" was the funniest thing I've ever thought of...I was of course drunk at the time, so it doesn't quite stand up to the harsh glare of the morning after.If you have any alternates for what Paul should be singing, please provide. "Poison" by Bel Biv Devoe was a close runner up.

Thank you for the, er "tweets" (I hate that word too, April), Gavon. It was far better than the coverage on PBS last night.

Yes, the tweets were awesome. Some of the guys from HuffPo were trying to be funny, but none of them were nearly as entertaining as you.
