In the Words of Friedrich Schiller, Good Night Carleton College!

For 99.9 percent of people who watch the Colbert Report in Comedy Central, the last four seconds of Monday night's show probably didn't make a lot of sense. Why is Stephen clutching a bust of Friedrich Schiller?

My boyfriend and I, both Carleton alums, sat up straight in our chairs, look at each other, and asked, "Is that our Schiller? It is! It must be! How many hilarious busts of Schiller can possibly be in circulation?"

So a tip of my hat, as Stephen might say, to the intrepid Carl who got Mr. Schiller on the show. All praise the maize and blue!
