[Alas Babylon!]

That picture comes from a photo taken during the actual attack. I do not know if someone lowered the flag to half-mast (DURING an attack) or more likely, since the Japs struck at 8:00AM, it was being raised at reveille, and they stopped the raising, quickly secured the halyards, and went off to fight!

3 good-bye interviews with Condi Rice; I wonder how many President Bush will get from this group of shows.

Calling all FReeper Sunday Show reporters!!!

As I said last week:

“We need more reporting on the shows themselves; what’s being said, the non-verbals (sighs, facial expressions, tones, etc) and how the guests are responding.

Some folks used to do some really good transcripts of the shows as they occurred. That was prime reportage. Our discussing Tim Russert’s hunched-over, paper-clutching grilling of Republicans was good, too. Sadly, not too many of the driveby interviewers are as readable as was Russert’s body language.

And another thing we kept our eye on that gets covered no where else is how much time the guests get.

For example, say Face the Nation has on Chuck U. Shumer and, well, any Republican, at the same time. We know Chuck is going to hog the microphone and Bob “Purple-faced Rage” Schieffer is going to let him. The Republican is lucky to get in one word. Our reportage is always on top of that.”

So, please help out! Brave enough (or strong of stomach enough) to watch? Please post what you see/hear!!!!
