A Strange Day on Today

The top two morning news shows have this strange notion that they can travel the country and "take the pulse" of America in this presidential election season. All I know is that it really screws up the works. Matt and Al was in Virginia today doing something. They dragged Amy down there to do what appeared one story on something that I didn't bother to pay attention to, and that was it. One story. So Meredith held down the fort and wasn't actually too bad, and Hoda played Ann/Amy for the day. Otherwise fairly forgettable because they also decided to bring in Billy Shrub. If they had a female they could have somewhat made up for things, but oh well, I guess they had to stick to the theme of the day, just plain old strangeness.

Hurricane Amy Storms Back Into Town

Hurricane Amy saves the day and the Today show from the continued dreariness of Meredith, who made a brave attempt today, and Ann, who continues to be mired in a slump. Amy's calves of steel were gloriously adorned in sheer black hose, although the skirt could have been shorter. Ann has perplexed recently with a lack of show. She can be quite good if she puts the effort out but it seems that as soon as the weather turns she pulls out the shawls, the wraps, and the blankets and bundles herself up in them.
