From the Pork Barrel: Snogging Chavez

* Benetton's new Unhate ad campaign is extremely effective (at making me feel really weird).

* Occupy Karl Rove went over better than expected.

* It turns out President Obama is worth less than $51,000 in crocodile attack insurance. There goes about a third of his economic recovery plan.

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30/10:30c.

Jon Stewart on President Obama's 0.16-Day Visit to Puerto Rico

It's kind of crazy to think that a U.S. President hasn't visited Puerto Rico since the JFK administration. I mean, just think about it. That's almost as long as it's been since one of them visited Delaware…
