This is AWESOME! David Letterman pulled Colbert into one of his favorite old stunts, which CBS forbade Colbert from doing: Throwing stuff off the roof.

I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for yet, but this article is good, and makes a good logical case for #tomsteyer . It may have swayed me.

Why do Oregon farms plant red clover every spring?

If you’re ever out on a bike ride with me and you ask an innocent question like “hey, what’s with all the red plants on farms?” I must warn you that because of my masters degree in soil chemistry (that has laid fallow for over 30 years), I
