John Hodgman's address to the White House Correspondents' Dinner isn't quite so astonishing as Stephen Colbert's legendary performance, but it is pretty terrific.

That is why we look to him and to this Presidency for inspiration and for hope. Hope, finally, that we can heal the great and shameful division that has plagued our nation for so long. I am talking, of course, about the age-old conflict between jocks and nerds. It is the culture war of our time.

If you noticed that has several levels of meaning, Mr Hodgman will not disappoint you.
