Credit Card #
On December 15, 2010 Stephen Colbert "found" Mr. Buckley's credit card, rather than go on a wild spending spree Stephen Colbert has decided to do the honorable thing. Stephen Colbert is willing to return Mr. Buckley's credit card as soon as he is willing to explain why he should be getting a big bonus this year.

Each day that Mr. Ratchford refuses to rescue his credit card, Stephen Colbert will reveal a number from the credit card. This is not blackmail, this is a form of free market incentive. Just like when Goldman Sachs created an incentive for the Government to give away free money to rescue the economy from the reckless hands of Goldman Sachs. The sooner Mr. Ratchford justifies his bonus, the sooner he will get his credit card back. By the way, we are buying a mountain of cake on Mr. Ratchford's tab, after all he did say we should eat cake.
