Promise of Big Payday Tempts Wesley Clark to Venture into Hellish Wasteland

Retired general Wesley Clark has been in the news twice this month, first for announcing his intention to  explore for coal  in Kosovo—the country he midwifed with bombs back in his NATO days—and now for agreeing to co-host an NBC reality show called  Stars Earn Stripes . That’s quite a few hats for him to wear, so in order to avoid confusing the casual reader, I will ensure that all of my headlines about him apply to Kosovo and   reality TV equally well.
