With the white hot pace Stephen Colbert was moving at a few weeks ago, it was hard to believe anything would slow him down.
But something did -- the writer's strike. And at this point, it doesn't look like there will be any resolving of the dispute anytime soon. One of the most recent negotiation sessions broke off with bad feelings on both sides. The studios are resisting the writers' very logical demand for a piece of the money from DVD and internet revenue. Why shouldn't they get it?
In any event, the Colbert DVD and reruns can only go so far. Hopefully, this mess will end soon and both sides can settle up.

Finally, something slows Colbert down

I know, it's so terribly sad that everything's come to a screeching halt. Oddly enough, though, in a Q & A for his book a few weeks ago, he admitted that he got as far as he thought he would with his run for president, and I think one of The Colbert Report writers said that it probably worked out for the best that he didn't get on the SC ballot, mostly because he wouldn't have been able to do much without the show being on the air.
Yeah, we better get comfie. It's gonna be a very long winter...
