Harold Ford, Jr. Steps in to Fill the Void

The minute I learned that Tim Russert died, I became sort of frantic: My Sundays would never be the same. That Sunday, I watched what was, for me, the last meaningful Meet the Press. I skipped a couple of weeks after that. Even though I love Tommy B. (he was my first news broadcast crush (Katie Couric is also in there somewhere (strange))), I knew better. So I finally turned on Meet the Press this past Sunday. None other than my man Harold Ford, Jr., was on.

Sweet.

Once I met Harold Ford, Jr., in an establishment in Knoxville. He was at a dinner table when I strolled up and introduced myself, L.M. in tow. He graciously allowed me to interrupt him (I think he was done eating) and also posed with me for a pic, taken by L.M. w/the camera phone. I don’t think I ever got a copy of that photo. Sadness.

So perhaps I DO have something to look forward to news-wise. Definitely I am tired of hearing about the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

Back to Tim: If you did not see the Meet the Press where Tim Russert interviewed Stephen Colbert, you need to Google it and watch dat. At least the part with the Bert-from-Sesame-Street doll. I would provide a link, but, but do to current staffing, I am unable to do so.

And, finally: The second-to-last episode of Buffy, Season IV, is truly wicked.
