Now, There's A Fine How-dya-do!: Today's 'Meet The Press'

So, OS is about to head to breakfast for Conference Day 2, and has the local NBC affiliate on the hotel room.

Wrapping up the hour, and the hostess announces: And now, looking ahead, David Gregory on Meet The Press will explore the question-'Have Americans lost faith in President Obama to lead the country out of this depression? David Axelrod joins him, etc....'

Hello? That's NBC, the Kool-Aid Network, using the dreaded 'D-word' in the same sentence referring to The Anointed One. It wasn't ad-libbed, either--the young lady was reading copy.

OS had a momentary vision of rats fleeing a sinking ship.

A quick walk around the block of this hotel in Yew Nork tends to confirm the use of that word, by the way. The present decay makes the former greatness of the place so very poignant.
