Congrats to Katherine Reutter of Central Illinois

Yesterday, Katherine Reutter won the gold in the 1500m short track race at the World Cup in Montreal with a time of 2:23. Katherine is a native of Champaign, and is on target for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver next Feb.

Stephen Colbert has graciously lent his name to the US Speed Skating team and Katherine also has sponsorship by local businesses. Colbert is asking his fans at Colbert Nation to donate here.

Katherine is a Benny family friend. Benny's World is very proud of her accomplishments, and very pleased for her parents, Jay and Beth, who have been the major part of her journey to the Olympics.

Way to go, Katherine!

Elizabeth Edwards Will Be on The Colbert Report Tonight

This should be pretty funny. As soon as a video goes up, Benny's World readers will be amongst the first to see it!

Markos on Colbert's Show

This is a riot.

Enjoy.

Update: Markos on Charlie Rose here. I think you can view it once for free.

Colbert Classic

Good video from the Correspondent's Dinner last year.

Very different from the one Arianna Huffington attended on Saturday.
