Good Afternoon from the NewsHour!
Golly I wish I wasn't writing this from a Wal-Mart in Lake Geneva, Wis. For one thing, it's Wal-Mart. For another: I need to be in Arlington tomorrow morning. It's about 850 miles away. We're driving.
Teleporter. Someone invent one. Seriously.
Anyway
Back at the Homestead, they tell me the following news will be written up - barring anything breaking:
Television
Broadcast will lead with a summary of the current state of the Afghanistan war; Margaret Warner (@NewsHourWarner) will sum up the situation on the ground in Iraq (we're still looking for viewer questions, should anyone submit them to you); We talk Tea Parties and the weekend's rallies in Washington; Jeff discusses this year's Emmy awards.
