ABC and Charlie led with the news that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer. Dr Tim Johnson said they were lucky to catch it early because the disease doesn’t have any symptoms that would allow a quick diagnosis. He seemed to be saying (at 6:30) that it showed up on a colonoscopy ten years ago. It didn’t. It was caught in a very recent CAT scan. Katie put on Dr LaPook 6 minutes into the broadcast. NBC reported the cancer 8 minutes in after an economy wrap up. Only NBC bothered to mention that a 1 centimeter tumor is about half an inch.
CBS and NBC led with the air controller recordings which
were, indeed, dramatic. Obviously the controllers are trained to sound calm but
somehow everyone knew instantly what was happening. Screaming isn’t always
necessary, Congress people. NBC won the
drama award by letting the tape play longer.
President Obama fired up his 833,000 pound 747 to fly the 160 miles to a speech in Williamsburg. He said a stimulus is all about spending money.
Brian’s quasi-coanchor Robert Bazell reported on the Peanut Corporation of America and outmoded FDA regs that let salmonella slip through. The state of Georgia was supposed to be keeping an eye on things because the FDA and USDA budgets have been cut over the past decade. Bumpass people want to know if PCA has made political contributions.
Swindler’s List: 13,567 investors were defrauded by Madoff and all the nets listed the celebs who
appeared in the tally. Kelly Cobiella on CBS fleshed that out with a non-famous
older couple who have lost almost everything.
The orange freeze in Florida wasn’t that bad after all, so orange juice futures are down. However, if you’re in ice-bound Kentucky and Arkansas -- don’t eat the peanut butter in the FEMA emergency food kits. It’s being recalled. (sigh).

Order is not pressure which is imposed on society from without, but an equilibrium which is set up from within.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
