Just As I Thought

Time for double secret probation

I just saw a bit of George Bush’s non-apology mea culpa from yesterday, where he said that his assertion to “bring it on” may have been “misinterpreted” in other countries.
He struck me as a frat boy who had been called into the dean’s office and pretended to be sorry, saying that he’d learned his lesson… before going back out and wreaking havoc.

On a mostly unrelated note, I see that NewsHour has finally updated their on-air graphic look. I’m not impressed.
I’m not just saying this because I was up for a graphics job at NewsHour about 7 years ago, when I would have updated it instantly instead of waiting almost another decade. Really.
Now maybe it’s time to redo those old flats that they wheel in behind Jim Lehrer. Unlike Washington Week, which is produced by WETA and features gorgeous set design, NewsHour is its own world, produced by a separate company.
