Anyone old enough to remember Bob Hope's USO trips overseas to entertain the troops - as well as those not old enough - will appreciate Stephen Colbert's recent four-day trip to Iraq. My son is a big Colbert fan and sends me YouTube videos to watch all the time, so he alerted me when he heard about Colbert's upcoming trip. I skipped YouTube this time and went straight to my DVR and recorded all four programs with "one push of a button". I am so thrilled with DVR and cable television. Always hated cable because of so many commercials. Now I can pause during commercials and fast forward a few minutes later to the continuing program. And I can DVR - or record - Stephen Colbert's 11:30 P.M. programs.
As soon as Colbert walked out onto the Iraqi stage the first night and I saw Colbert, I thought Hope. Remember Bob Hope's golf club. Colbert carried one, too, and it was, I think, the final night, when he admitted to the Hope connection.
