Small thing. GOPers who insist on calling us “the Democrat Party”. It’s “Democratic” and we are oldest party in history. Maybe we can get even and call them “the Republicanic” party.

But did they have hard passes?

A pet peeve of mine. Why do networks put correspondents in harms way during hurricanes (including sound and camera folks)?

The pix and reporting are predictable and only give sightseeing folks an excuse to go. Get out and encourage people to stay safe. Including correspondents.

They can cover story some place safe and not encourage people to join them where they should not be

Politicos and sports fans: what to do tonight? Tape debate and watch the Nats or vice versus?

Turn back your clocks just like Lee Corso probably wishes he could turn back time and keep that Memphis Tigers head on this morning. IYKYK.

Yes because he is smart and knows what he is talking about. We need the equal with a different perspective.

How about this: you promise these sources can speak on the record and you promise not to retaliate? Deal?

Watching the Ag Sec I kept thinking “it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.” But that was apparently an unrelated Perdue. Any remember that commercial? I would have paid to remove it. Like “Kars for Kids”

“We rose or fall together and we are determined to rise.”

I strongly suspect Mr Bolton’s book only includes conversations routinely classified as “confidential” or “no foreign distribution”. A lot of TSI/SCI stuff is simply chatter that signal intelligence intercepts. Mostly the same stuff you see on cable tv.

Just do like Washington Post does in any story mentioning Jeff Bezos. Put a disclosure in parathenses at some point in column or article. Do not let your strong and good analysis be stifled by silly stuff.

Fred Hiatt guided the editorial page and opinion section of The Washington Post for two decades. He was the best of the best—brilliant and intellectually rigorous, the scourge of tyrants and the most decent and kind colleague anyone could ask for. We are in mourning.

The Commandos got a strong pick in Rnd 5 with QB Sam Howell. UNC star. I’m not a huge football 🏈 guy but I bet we hear plenty more of him in years ahead.

Whoops. CNN just blew coverage of final passage of Inflation Reduction Act. A big deal. They missed announcement of vote by VP Harris in favor of talking heads and caught up while Sen Schumer was giving deserved props to entire Senate staff.

CNN and network tv When networks are reporting everyone should be evacuated why are tv correspondents reporting live from places where they should not be? Network execs should be held accountable for this.
