Speaking of babies...

Last night Stephen Colbert made the joyous announcement that he's going to be a father. The Avian Conservation Centre at the San Francisco Zoo is naming a new baby bald eagle in Stephen’s honour this year. On the show he picked out the egg...

"He’s got his father’s impenetrable outer membrane."








...and sent Stephen Jr its first meal: a chewed-up hotdog...








...deposited into a FexEd envelope...









...and sent overnight to the West Coast.







Stephen Jr should be emerging in two weeks. I'll be updating. Video segments can be watched at the Comedy Central website.
