President Barack Obama appeared on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this week and assisted in delivering a “slow jam” of the news. You read that right. A sitting President of the United States appeared on a low-rated, late night talk show to do a comedy bit? The worst part is that it really wasn’t …

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich will reportedly bow out of the race for the GOP nomination next week, according to “unnamed sources” within his camp.

They had asked three of us to come down to be interviewed and it turned into a very quick and very …

Random, bullet thoughts on today’s super-sized Meet the Press which doubled as a Republican Presidential Debate… For a debate that involved Facebook, I sort of expected more integration. It’s only the largest social network in the history of civilization. Logistically, NBC gets a D for planning an event like this in a city like Concord …
