CAMP VICTORY, Iraq — It was Sunday night in Baghdad, and President Obama was ordering Gen. Ray Odierno, the commander of the American troops here, to shave Stephen Colbert’s head. (Not to give everything away, but the general is not as brutal with an electric razor as one would expect a bald man to be; Mr. Colbert’s hairdresser, on the other hand, has a merciless streak.)
War, as things go, is a fairly unironic exercise.

AND THE WINNER IS:
RightBias regrets to announce that one of our favorite actors is the winner of this weeks' Top Idiot Of The Week award. Harrison Ford has joined the ranks of eco-idiots by shaving off all his lovely chest hair in an effort to raise awareness of the effect of deforestation on 'global warming.' Inquiring minds want to know: How does a hairless chest keep trees from being cut down?
