Todd's Take 2

My blogging rate (IS there such a thing?) is terrible . Dangerously close to missing my one per month ratio (pathetic) I will multitask as I copy edit the eleven o'clock show and watch the GOP debate from the Reagan library in California.

[first impression: John McCain looks like he's being careful. Ooh, he's smiling alot. Dangerous.]

I'm worried about what I'll do for "fun" when this "2 debates a week (it seems) period" is over and I can't eat dinner while watching this stuff. Yes, I do lead the glamorous life!

[second impression: Mitt Romney looks and acts alot more like a TV news anchor than I ever will. But I wouldn't bait McCain like that. Or use that much stuff in my hair. ]

We're working on our first Cold Case report in 7 weeks. It's new territory - the Montgomery County Police Department has graciously helped us look back at an unsolved murder from 32 years ago. The victim was a 15 year old Aspen Hill girl . I interviewed her mother last night. She still lives in the same house. She cried. My eyes filled with tears (more than Hillary's did in NewHampshire). No - you won't see it on TV ... this is not the sequel to that movie Broadcast News.
I get nervous writing these reports - I want to do a job that lives up to the family's expectations - and I want to tell a story effective enough to spur someone to call police.

[third impression : Mike Huckabee will make big bucks on the lecture circuit. He's a good communicator.. and genuinely funny]

I hope you'll watch the Cold Case Sunday at 11. Don't let the Super Bowl wear you out. And don't forget to change the channel to WUSA after the Giants win.

[ fourth impression: does Ron Paul always look.... surprised ?]

[fifth impression: Mitt's HAIR is even better then mine ! ]
