Melissa Gilbert. Wasn't she on Little House on the Prarie? Oh, her name is McDermott. Well, she has a BSc in Broadcast News from the University of Kansas, doesn't she? (A science degree in broadcast news?) She and her CBS husband, Todd, used to co-anchor the news in Kansas, didn't they? That's where the little house was, isn't it? (Or was that where the yellow brick road was?) Anyway, both Melissas make a living reading fictional scripts, don't they?.

TV talking heads consider themselves as important as actors and actresses.

I hope the military really puts the reporterettes through tough paces. But what will these women and girly men do when bullets start whizzing by?
