On last night's The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, host Stephen Colbert tackled the brewing controversy over Beyonce's 'Lip-Gate.'

Also on last night's show, an Ohio school arms its janitors, The Atlasphere helps Ayn Rand lovers find love, and Florida addresses its python problem. And Colbert names the Alpha Dog of the Week - Virginia State Senate Republicans who push a redrawn state political map past Democrats by introducing it on a day when one Democrat was off attending Obama's inauguration.
