KATIE?

I just heard that I am breathlessly awaiting the arrival of Katie Curic to tell me the news. She is not only going to be on TV, but on the computer and everywhere else.

I, for one, have never liked her, and that will never change. I really can't understand what she is going to do diffrently. They are saying she will be the best ever, a whole new approach to presenting the news. God, I hope she is not going to be nude.

I don't understand either, why it is taking so long to get her on. Why won't she be ready till October. They are even going to let us know, in advance, what she will be wearing, so there goes the nude aspect. Maybe she is taking singing lessons, and will sing the news.

Just think of the obscene amount of money they are paying her to do the news. I really do not understand it all.

I had a chance once to meet her. I was invited, by a rather high ranking employee of NBC, to take a tour of the building, and, meet Matt and Katie. His office was right below theirs. I declined for some reason or other.

Maybe it is just me, I get most of my news from the RADIO, NPR, local news, etc. I listen, evaluate, picture in my own mind what is going on. I just don't think that news should have a personality. News should just be the truth. I can take it from there.

TV news, often dissapoints me too.

"Bank robbery, tonight at 11."

So I tune in to see the robbery, it happened this morning, not at 11.

I've missed a lot of meetings too.

"School board meeting, tonight at 11."

At 10:30 I leave for the school. Doors are locked, they met at 6. Why did they tell me 11?

At least we now know why Brokaw and Rather and all the good guys retired. They knew, they looked ahead. They got out while they could. Come October, Katie is taking over.

Is all of this leading to a .... woman ..... running for President. Katie, Oprah?

Let the females of the world do their thing, I am all for it. I do not like Katie though, and please, take them off .... being on the sidelines and doing ......... color ..... at football games.

Women play tennis. They do a great job broadcasting tennis. Same with golf, cooking shows and others. They DO NOT play in the NFL. They may be fans, like many, but PLEASE let someone who has played the game do that sideline commentary.

I am not excited about Katie doing the news, the radio just told me I was. She won't be on the radio, I hope.

And now, perty, perky little Katie, will give us her in-depth analysis of the news, just as soon as the little perky, perty cheerleaders leave the set.
