I’m sitting at the departure lounge at the Westchester County Airport waiting for my flight to Toronto.
More travel. What can I say, I’m a busy guy.
See you on the other side.
Here’s a rare case of a news outlet doing what they are supposed to be doing.
The setup. Sue Kelly, GOP Representative from the 19th Congressional District of New York (aka, my congresscritter) has been ducking debates with her opponent John Hall, of Orleans fame.
Local news outlet RNN decided they have had enough of her refusing and decided to 1. ambush her and put it on camera and 2. threaten her with an empty chair.
The results are priceless.

For even more fun, read the comments in DailyKos.
The PAN Communications blog has a disturbing item this morning. The Boston Globe is offering its staff a new contract with compensation tied to the financial health of the paper. While at first blush that might not seem so bad an idea, I’ll let PAN describe the possible consequences:
What happens when formerly objective reporters feel obligated to cover only the companies that advertise with the Globe? Will smaller, innovative but less deep-pocketed companies now be completely ignored? How does PR compete for a reporter’s attention when the issues on the table are to get your client coverage vs. the reporter’s need to generate his or her salary?
Full story here. PAN’s comments here. Keep an eye on this one.
Just so you know, the rumors are true. I will be MCing the awards show.
Joke submissions are welcome.
