Tipster Michael Wymbs alerted us to last night's episode of the Colbert Report, on which Physicas Professor Brian Greene was a guest. Greene was promoting the World Science Festival (of which he is host), which will take place this weekend in all over the city. As part of the festival, Greene will be a panelist in an "Invisible Reality" lecture (moderated by favored West Wing Republican Alan Alda.) Check out the Festival's full schedule here.

The Festival's Street Fair will take place on Saturday in Washington Sq. Park and will feature a 12-foot tall animatronic dinosaur and a real-life version of the Magic School Bus. Bwog will see you there.

Item # 1: Stephen Colbert is one-upping Jon Stewart tonight by bringing none other than Jim Gilchrist himself onto the show (airing at 11:30 and 1:30) as a special guest. Word? Word.

Item # 2: A spokesman for the Minuteman Project said that they are planning to sue Columbia under the 1964 Civil Rights Act for the treatment of Jim Gilchrist and Marvin Stewart, claiming that claims Stewart was called the N-word by a member of the audience. They also complain that the University failed to provide adequate security, and--to add insult to purported injury--Stewart had a folder with personal information and plane tickets stolen. Also named in the prospective suit: banner-bearer Karina Garcia, who called Gilchrist a murderer on national TV. "The Chicano Caucus is radical and no different from the KKK," said spokesman Tim Bueler. "All they're trying to do is incite hatred and incite racism against a man they've never met."

The University's spokesman, Robert Hornsby, denied any knowledge of legal action. But they said it on Fox, so it must be true!

Item # 3: The Minuteman Protesters Defense Committee has called a meeting tomorrow at 6:00 PM in the Intercultural Resource Center to organize defense for...itself.

Item # 4: You might not like how the CU GOP operates, but at least they're not dressing up as illegal immigrants and chasing each other across campus.
