He Is America (And So Can You!)

I love that Stephen Colbert, host of The Colbert Report, has been broadcasting his show from Iraq over the past week, touring with the USO to bring a bit of laughter to the US troops that assuredly don't usually have much of an opportunity for that sort of thing. All told, I think we can declare "Mission Accomplished" with Operation Iraqi Stephen.
I also love that this has given me the opportunity to dress up my avatar as Esteban Colberto.
Okay, the more important takeaway is that Yahoo! Avatars has partnerted with DonorsChoose to promote a "Support Our Troops" charity drive, encouraging people to donate to support public schools attended by the children of military families. The fact that the drive has raised over $140,000 dollars (and hopefully the Yahoo! promotion has helped with that) to help thousands of schools in thousands of little ways definitely earns a Tip of the Hat from me.
