  • You can now see Stephen’s delightful visage on several top CSS Galleries. We thank you for that, CSS Galleries. America thanks you.
  • There have been over 4300 Oprah book club petition signatures.
  • As of this morning, the World Domination map is open for business outside the confines of the United States border. Time to conquer the world!

Speaking of international support, check out Canada — they sure are organized up there:

If the Internet feels slower today, it may be due in part to a new site we just launched called MakeMeAmerica.com.

What started out as a humble effort to sell a few books has turned into something more: a humble effort with big pictures, hero profiles, video excerpts, a petition to Oprah, flickr photo integration, and an interactive world domination map. (And lots of easter eggs.)

The book, I Am America (And So Can You), is written by Stephen Colbert, host of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central and namesake of a baby bald eagle in Bonita Springs.

The Colbert team quickly determined that, in addition to being able to read books, the show’s audience also seemed to have ready access to the internets. One idea turned into two, and pretty soon, Electric Pulp was in on the plan. The rest, as they say, is history.

All that’s left is for you to check it out.

(These guys have.)
