This is your daily ping for Tuesday August 1, 2006. Another month has passed.

Tuesday's Guests:

6:29 - Evan Thomas,
7:29 - George Stephanopoulos,
In the 8am hour - Billy Joe Shaver

Andrea Mitchell was on at 7:05 discussing the breaking news that Fidel Castro may be near death. Imus says "that stinking commie bastard can't die fast enough. Can he Andrea?". Other end of the phone humina, humina, humina...
She's on her way to see her good friend Fidel (if he's still alive when she gets there).

Evan Thomas actually sounded rational when discussing the Israel/Lebanon conflict even though he had the opportunity to. I'm shocked.

This story doesn't seem to be going away. Was Qana Staged? Cont'd (Memogate II?).

I had to look twice to be sure I was listening to Evan Thomas. Andrea did manage to get in some negative comments about our Secretary of State, but even she did not go too far.

I miss our friend, leadpenny.
