Or Harry Reasoner! Just a "reader" is what I am looking for on a news show!

My favorite memory of Harry Reasoner is a story they did one night about world population -- remember when that was the big deal, too many people being born?

Anyway, after the story filled with the anti's and the know it alls, Reasoner sort of smirked and said, "I guess this is just as good a time as any to announce that Mrs. Reasoner and I are expecting our tenth child in the fall." (It could have been 9th, but it was 9th or 10th.)

It was a classic.

LOL. Have not heard that one before.

Well, the next week should be full of interesting machinations amongst the news hounds. Those who haven't been approached will leak that they have been, those who weren't offered enough money will let it be known, and the backstabbing will be ferocious.

Couric would be a disaster as an anchor, even if she weren't a Bush-hating leftist. Her voice is too high, she doesn't have gravitas (gosh I am glad I got to use that word) and her perkiness is her only asset. When she is serious, she looks remarkably like a Pekingese dog.

Was it "excess population", then "global cooling", then "global warming"?
