Stephen Colbert plays a fake pundit, but Stephen Colbert showed real solidarity with a shaved head. Stephen Colbert's week of Colbert Reports in Iraq will start with Colbert getting a shaved head, much like his audience of troops.

One spoiler has Colbert getting a shaved head from Gen. Ray Odierno in the first taping, which is being held in Saddam's former place.

Stephen Colbert mocks everything and plays a fake lunatic pundit all the time. But the trip to the Persian Gulf is dead serious, as is Colbert's mission there. In real life, the comedian has taken note that the Iraq War, and its soldiers, have faded in the headlines as the economy and President Obama have taken much of America's attention.

With the trip to Iraq, Colbert seeks to put the spotlight back on the soldiers still over there - though he can still get some laughs along the way.

In addition to getting a shaved head for solidarity, Colbert has used avenues other than The Colbert Report to drum up support for the troops. He has used the charity Donors Choose to get the Colbert Nation to donate thousands to the classrooms of the children of military personnel.

Also, before he left, Colbert was the visitor reviewer for the next topic of Newsweek, which has an Iraq topic while being peppered with his usual comedic touches.

Since the trip's exact minutia have been classified by the Pentagon for the longest time, The Colbert Report has made a Matt Lauer-like game of teasing out "Where In The World and When In Time Is Stephen Colbert Gonna Be In The Persian Gulf-" But most estimated that it would finally be in Iraq.

The 2009 French Open Men's Final


In the 2009 French Open worldwide tennis tournament great players Robin Soderling SWE (23) and Roger Federer SUI (2) are scheduled to find Sunday in Paris at Roland Garros. For the fourth year in a row, Roger Federer is in the Roland Garros final, his 19th career final, likening Ivan Lendl's career record.

However, for the first time, Roger Federer not able to have his arch-nemesis standing in the way of a principle label in Paris. The novel opponent is Robin Soderling, any person who executed one of the great tennis upsets of all time terminal Sunday after he discharged World #1 Rafael Nadal (who had never hidden a fit at the French Open!) in four sets 6-2 6-7(2) 6-4 7-6(2).

When 4-time protecting heroic person Nadal hidden in the fourth throughout, bulk population thought that Federer became the prohibitive favorite to win the 2009 Roland Garros title. However, since afterward Federer was deficient 5 sets to receive past a spirited argue from Tommy Haas in the fourth throughout and another 5 sets to receive past Juan Martin del Potro in the semifinals. Federer was 5-0 and had never hidden a set to the Argentine kid but the del Potro any person who competed on Friday basically won the first set and left higher stiff resistance for virtually 3 and a half hours, ultimately succumbing 3-6 7-6(2) 2-6 6-1 6-4. And this wasn't even the best fit of the day, that honor was rewarded upon the barnburner Fernando Gonzalez and Soderling lobbed down.

Soderling commenced off adequately, winning the first couple sets by shooting winners and serving high and received himself to within 6 points of winning during the 3rd set. Then Gonzalez treated to retain, contravene and retain and unexpectedly Soderling went through a evil-minded patch and found himself down 0--3 and 1-4 in the fifth and final set. Amazingly, Soderling was able to win 5 consecutive sporting activities to clinch his first ever Grand Slam final. He and Gonzo merged for a mind-boggling total of 143 winners, 75 by the eventual winner of the match.

Sunday's final will be gigantic for both players, but there's no suspect more of the pressure is on Federer. Everyone expects him to win, since he is no longer facing nadal. If Federer does win, he can calm down (most of) the naysayers any person who would turn down him label of the Greatest Of All Time by winning his 14th principle label and closing his career Grand Slam. If Soderling wins, he will ensure his call will be enshrined in the history stories, as one of the other men any person who turned down (or delayed?) Federer achieving from achieving this relative standing and any person who overcome and deposed Nadal as the King of Clay.

Head-to-head Federer has played Soderling nine times on multiple surfaces and simply ever hidden one tiebreak set to him but very many of the sets have been seal, demonstrating that even in the past his Paris innovation the Swede was a life imperilling opponent. The novel Soderling is even more lethal, because he surely believes he is on a Mission with Destiny and he now also possesses a forceful, fit body to complement his forceful groundstrokes and nervy serving (120-plus mph second serves).

However, Federer is the bulk talented performer of his generation and at the end of the day he ought be able to exercise his versatility and assortment to come higher with a solution to win the match. It is also probable that since Soderling is playing in his first Grand Slam final, mentally he will be delighted with the Finalist label, where Federer will settle for none smaller diagram than his hands on the trophy at the end of the day, for the fourteenth time in a major.

Mad Professah's pick: Federer in 4 sets.
