Couric's a Boss.

Katie Couric possesses all the characteristics that make up a good interviewer. One who can get down to the facts fast and hard and she is as real as it gets. Couric left NBC’s Today Show about 4 years ago and has really shined in her new spotlight on CBS’s “Evening News”. There has been recent speculation that Couric may replace famous, late night talk show host, Larry King. King has been on CNN for over 25 years and exclaimed that Couric would be an excellent replacement.

“She’s a good interviewer,” says King.

I watched a Couric interview and a collected a few aspects that create the enigma of a perfect interviewer. It is a list of sorts that describe the perfect interviewer because if you’re good interviewer, people gonna wanna talk to ya. Here it is, my “Katie Couric’s Indirectly Stated Good Interviewing Tips to be a Good Interview.”

· Girl is calm as hell, makes her interviewee feel at ease.

· Couric can use her tone to create an entertainment value to her questions, dramatic

· She knew her shit. Definitely in the DuBois Library all damn day.

· “Open Your Ears,” my mom always says to me. She doesn’t need to tell Couric twice

· Don’t be a hero. Couric isn’t trying to be the star, obviously, with that haircut

And last but not least

· Chill and go with the flow man. Conversation is fun.

Couric is the pro at each one of those bullets. She’s good at what she does.

Later Larry.

Firefighters Not Fighting Fires

A story out of Tennessee today has liberals shaking their heads and conservatives on the defense. In rural Tennessee, this guy, Gene Cranick's house catches fire and calls 911. Usually the fire department responds quickly and efficiently, hopefully putting out the fire before it does any real damage, but Gene's call was ignored.

Why?

He didn't pay his 75 bills.

His town of South Fulton makes its residents pay a $75 fire protection fee every year and Mr. Cranick thought he was above a fire and didn't pay the 75 dollars.

Look, I know people think the likelihood of your house burning down is very low, but what if one day your house catches a blaze and burns to the ground. You're going to need the fire protection, obviously. Firefighters didn't respond to the fire until Cranick's neighbor called 911, in fear the fire would spread to his house.

Indeed it did and the firefighters put it out and watched Gene's house burn, burn, burn.

Here is what I think; if there is a bylaw saying you have to pay 75 bills for fire protection, you pay the goddamn 75 dollars. These firefighters obviously wanted to help poor Gene and put out the fire, but their hands were tied. So liberals back off. I understand it is an issue of moral obligations and backhanded conservative ideology, but laws is laws. Sorry Gene!
