Lost time
It was all crushingly dull. The pundits really don’t seem to have anything more to say. The closest I came was wanting to say one thing was especially stupid. On “State of the Union,” the Jake Tapper CNN show, Amanda Carpenter, a former communications director for Ted Cruz, said….

Soup, yes, soup
I can not fathom that during the 10:00 P.M. broadcast WKOW-TV in Madison used actual news time to air a ‘report’ about Campbell’s new line of soup pods for Keurig coffee brewers! They allotted 2 minutes and 12 seconds for this news nugget.

Moore v. Clarke
“The country is just now getting to know Sheriff Clarke, but I’m all too familiar with his inflammatory antics,” Moore writes “His proclivity for provocation coupled with his distorted view of black America has grown more extreme over the years, earning him numerous appearances on Fox News. He has helped the network spread a slew…

this is a backdoor budget cut where Walker didn’t have the guts to play it straight, and now the Joint Finance Committee has to come up with nearly $3.7 million tomorrow to cover this gap, or else Wisconsin’s public broadcasting and emergency communications are slated to take a legitimate hit.

American Idol, Aged 15
That’s quite a run. Weirdly, I have watched every year. It’s hard to say why. Partly, because it goes away for a pretty long time before it restarts, like an old friend, who’s annoying, but is out of town most of the year. Via “American Idol” is cancelled @ Althouse.

It’s the critics who are dopes
Jeez, they’re swarming this poor man. A giant dope? Isn’t that insult dopey? I read the article, and it seems that Noah’s problem is he needs better joke-writers. I’d say: He’s getting “The Daily Show”‘s joke-writers, so the question is only how he looks, how he delivers the jokes, and how he manages the interviews.…

Can’t tell just one
Confronted with the facts, Williams recanted and apologized, chalking up his repeated error to the “fog of memory” after 12 years. No one is buying Williams’s apology, for several reasons: 1) it wasn’t 12 years ago when he started telling the story, but shortly after the event; 2) whether your helicopter was or was not…

Where’s the transcript?
Yesterday was Chuck Todd’s second time as host. Last week, his first time, the show was heavily larded with an interview with Barack Obama. That means yesterday’s show was the first example of a normal show. Are they ashamed of it? They’ve put video up, including neatly captioned segments, like “James Baker: We Need People…
