![Follow Up of the Day: After Murk Avenue’s Donovan Strain determined that January 20, 1992 was Ice Cube’s “Good Day,” everybody lost their sh*t, collectively.
But what does the man himself have to say about Strain’s conclusion? “Nice try.”
That’s what Cube told Vulture through a publicist. Could he be hinting that Strain’s figure is incorrect? The possibility has been debated since the blog post was unleashed.
Strain bases a significant portion of his inference on the commercial availability of beepers, but conveniently neglects to confirm sightings of the Goodyear blimp (and whether or not it read “Ice Cube’s a pimp”). An exhaustive critique of Strain’s research suggests Ice Cube’s “Good Day” actually took place on November 30th, 1988.
Still no accounting for the Goodyear blimp, though, or the lack of homicides in South Central L.A., so the mythological “Good Day” may still be as elusive as ever.

In Case You Missed It of the Day: Stephen Colbert wasn’t kidding around about regaining control of the SuperPAC he relinquished of to Jon Stewart ahead of announcing his bid to explore a possible candidacy for the President of the United States of South Carolina.
On last night’s show, Colbert confronted Stewart, chasing him all the way from The Daily Show to the Colbert Report, eventually taking the SuperPAC back by force.
The reason for his insistence may have been revealed in FEC paperwork [pdf] released today, which shows that Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow — now known as “John Colbert Cougar Super MellenPAC” — managed to raise a whopping $1 million since its inception.
In a supplemental memo, ABTT’s treasurer, Shauna Polk, says she was asked by Colbert to quote him as saying the following:
Yeah! How you like me now, FEC? I’m rolling seven digits deep! I got 99 problems but a non-connected independent-expenditure only committee ain’t one!
Polk makes a point of noting that she “advised Mr. Colbert against including that quote.”
