Recently at this year’s Radio and TV Correspondents Dinner, John Hodgman took President Obama to task for his unabashed nerdiness. Conan the Barbarian, Dune, Vulcans . . . hilarity.

By Crom! We need more nerd comedians!
Shai’tan!
Thumper!
The Water of Life!
That was quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever heard.
I have been and always will be your friend!
Loved every minute of that vid :)
Not only is he brilliantly funny, but I hear he also has excellent taste in podcasts.
@mrthumbtack: Shai Hulud!
Which, we all may recall, translates as “Old Man of the Desert”, also known as “The Big Maker”.
Do I get to be a Presidential advisor now?
That man is my hero.
It wasn’t quite Colbert at the White House Correspondents Dinner under Bush, but that was just a perfect fit for him. Someone involved inviting Colbert was in trouble after that one.
Yay for nerds and geeks everywhere!
I <3 the Hodgeman
For those who haven’t seen it: Hodgeman did a brilliant collaboration with They Might Be Giants, portraying the Deranged Millionaire in the videos for their Venue Songs project. You watch the videos online: http://www.tmbg.com/venue.html
Every time I see or hear things like this showing the world how amazingly awesome us geeks are, my heart swells with pride.
@SaraDee:
You’re right, although “Shai’tan” is also used as a name for the worms, I totally forgot the name “Shai Hulud”.
Good job!
