>> We realize it’s been a while since we stirred the pot on Butterstick mania, but there’s a new way to celebrate your love for all things panda. Keds has their own (surprisingly cute) panda shoes. No, they’re not made of real pandas, but these canvas creations might be some comfort after Tai Shan is ripped from our grasp and shipped off to China this fall.

>> What have you been praying for, D.C.? A cure for cancer? World peace? Voting rights? Piffle! Today you can join “tens of thousands of people” praying for Stephen Colbert per instructions from Christian group Master Media. Remember, instead of receiving divine guidance, he’d like a Gulfstream jet, invisibility and the ability to travel back in time and fight Oliver Cromwell. Sounds like every list I ever sent to Santa.
>> In more TV news, two Washingtonians are making their sitcom debuts tonight on NBC’s 30 Rock. Catch Chris Matthews and Tucker Carlson try their hand at “acting” on Channel 4 at 9:30 p.m. [Yeas and Nays]
>> Missouri indie-poppers Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin sure love D.C. This marks the third trip to the area in the past few months. They’re playing the Black Cat with Chin Up Chin Up tonight, but we’ve also gotten word of a special acoustic set at Olsson’s in Dupont at 5:30. And, unlike the life in the former Soviet Union, it’s free.
