They are celebrating Robin Meade’s 15-year anniversary on HLN. I join in the celebration. She’s just about the only palatable presence on television news.

We’ve gone seven months now with a vacant seat on the Supreme Court, and the world hasn’t fallen apart.
Maybe we could try going a few years without a president?

On second thought, maybe we can recruit Colin Powell for the job. After reading his private e-mails, I think we can all agree that he has a refreshing way with words.
Powell on Hillary Clinton: “A 70-year-old person with a long track-record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home.”
Powell on former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, Liz: “They are idiots.”
Powell on retired general Michael Flynn: “Gen. Flynn is a jerk. Got canned out of DIA.”
Powell on Donald Trump: “He is a know-nothing … a national disgrace … an international pariah.”

TV Tidbits:
American Horror Story – The production design and look of the show are great, but FX needs to spend more time on the scripts. In other words, the show has the same problem it has pretty much every year. But we’ve only seen one episode, so let’s hope for the best.

Better Late Than Never – I have mixed feelings about this four-part series. On the one hand, the affection these geezers have for one another seems real and it’s infectious; it’s a lot of fun to watch them interact on their trip to Asia. On the other hand, most of the situations they find themselves in are obviously scripted. And in this age of income inequality, it’s a bit off-putting to celebrate four multi-millionaires spending NBC’s cash on an expensive vacation.
