During his nightly "The Word" segment, Colbert quoted a number of political and media figures who seem to believe "grieving families aren't the real victims, gun owners are." He said the point is "driven home by conservative radio host Bob Davis."

It's all fun and laughs until somebody asks you to put your money where your mouth is.

Davis initially refused to apologize (see update below) for that extremely callous remark, so one Sandy Hook resident wants to see if he's really willing to walk the walk. He's contacted Davis and offered to pay to fly him out to Connecticut so he can actually tell families affected by Newtown to go to hell to their faces.

Dayton and his grandson, Hugo

Rather than be at the hospital for the birth of his first grandchild, some conservatives thought Dayton should've gone ahead with a Chamber of Commerce speech.

On Wednesday morning, Gov. Mark Dayton made an appearance at Blaine High School and spoke to students. According to Sally Jo Sorensen, he left around 9:45 a.m.

Dayton was scheduled to give a speech before the St. Paul Chamber of Commerce later that morning, but he sent his chief of staff, Tina Flint Smith, in his place. The reason? He wanted to meet his first grandchild as soon as possible after his daughter-in-law gave birth via C-section. Seems like a perfectly fine reason to get a substitute for a speech, doesn't it?
