There's a kerfuffle going on right now over some new hats that President Obama wants for the United States Marine Corps -- a sleeker, more "unisex" look, one that is modeled after World War I two-time Medal of Honor winner Dan Daly.
Yet some people are not happy about them.
One senior Marine source tells the New York Post, "We don't even have enough funding to buy bullets, and the DoD is pushing to spend $8 million on covers that look like women's hats! The Marines deserve better. It makes them look ridiculous."
Naturally, Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report" had a field day with this. Watch above as he tackles this very important issue.
"I cannot even look at our so-called Commander in Chief. ... He is always weakening our military preparedness and unit cohesion. First he gets rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. ... Now this," says Colbert. "Clearly the feminization of the Marine Corps.

(S07E01) "What are you gonna do when it all catches up with you?" - Sean
With only eight episodes left in Nip/Tuck's run, I know I'm not alone in hoping that Ryan Murphy and Co. have a solid plan for ending what's arguably been one the most groundbreaking shows of the past decade. Don't forget -- season one nabbed the Golden Globe for best drama. It's not that the show has become less buzzworthy since its stellar freshman year, but in some regards the plots in subsequent seasons have always felt like something far more important was being put off. While entertaining, stories like The Carver or the organ smuggling ring have really just been diversions. What happened in last night's season seven premiere was a long time coming and it sets in motion a conflict that's been simmering since Sean and Christian bought all those spiral hams in the pilot episode.

Another season dawns for the docs on Nip/Tuck, and we can't say it won't be their last. The saga revolving around the McNamara and Troy family will soon come to an end, and the beginning of which will kick off tonight. The seventh installment of the series premieres with "Dan Daly," before the story finishes nine episodes later.
But let's not speak of the final cut yet; we still have tonight. On "Dan Daly," it's a short-lived celebration for Sean (Dylan Walsh) and Christian (Julian McMahon). The two receive a prestigious award from their alma mater, causing them both to reminisce about their painful past.
