Special Exhibit Alert!

If you're at all hip (like me), then you know that Stephen Colbert has convinced the National Portrait Gallery to hang his portrait near the Hall of Presidents. The Portrait Gallery, which was closed for years for remodeling, is about three blocks from my office. I'm going there tomorrow to check it out.

The portrait _ actually three portraits in one _ depicts a debonair Colbert standing at a fireplace in front of a similar portrait of himself posing in front of the same mantel with a third picture of himself.

. . .

"I don't mean to brag, but as it contains three portraits, my portrait has more portraits than any other portrait in the National Portrait Gallery," he said, adding, "All Employees must wash hands before returning to work."

The guy's a friggin' genius.
