| Capitalist Preservation question o' the day Who is the better dancer, Elaine Benes of Seinfeld fame or Katie Couric? ---------------------------------------------------------- |
As AllThingsD had first reported in August that it was working on, Yahoo is poised to announce a deal with well-known television news star Katie Couric to do a high-profile online interview show on its home page.
The deal is set to be announced on Monday, said multiple sources at the company, which could designate Couric as “global news anchor” of the Silicon Valley Internet giant.
That title could change, of course. So could the deal or its timing, although it seems set now after months of negotiations with ABC News, which is both Yahoo’s online news partner and Couric’s current home network.
It’s not clear when the show itself will debut, though. It is likely to center on exclusive interviews with a range of high-profile celebrities, business execs and more, done by Couric specifically for the Web and prominently featured on Yahoo’s heavily trafficked main page... READ MORE

Katie Couric? Didn't she invent the colonoscopy camera?
The media elite’s rhetoric about rejecting the “stenographers to power” label sounds most ridiculous when facing one of their heroes. There was perky Katie, grinning and bowing before President Obama on July 22, 2009. "You're so confident, Mr. President, and so focused,” she blushed. “Is your confidence ever shaken? Do you ever wake up and say, 'Damn, this is hard. Damn, I'm not going to get the things done I want to get done, and it's just too politicized to really get accomplished the big things I want to accomplish'?" ...

The Katie Couric multi Obamagasmic highlight reel
Katie has lost her terminally ill gig at CBS as of today. Family and friends mourn the firing of the most blatant leftist cheer leader the mainstream media has inflicted upon the general public since...the disgraceful exit of her predecessor, Dan Rather, who stepped down after he reported (PUSHED and kept pushing) the patently false story regarding G. Bush's National Guard service.
Will anyone except Barack Obama notice Katie's departure from the anchorette throne?
Will anyone except Barack Obama notice Katie's departure from the anchorette throne?
Would anyone notice if CBS fired its entire "newstainment" division and used that time slot to air reruns of the old sitcom, "The Cosby Show."?
Cause as Katie said not to long ago, I'm paraphrasing, but she honest to God let these words slip past her perkily idiotic lips "Maybe we need a Muslim version of the Cosby Show."
Goodbye Katie, we hardly watched thee...and for good reason.

Katie Couric is all oui oui'd up over Socialist France's 35 hour work week
Ok, now yer ready for this...no... wait...keep in mind Katie became a $MILLIONAIRESS$ anchoretting the CBS evening infonewstainment show.
Katie became rich while consistently finishing last in the ratings behind ABC and NBC.
In other words, Katie was rewarded handsomely for failure.
Perhaps Katie hasn't heard the news about the crumbling European union of which France is a major economic member.
Maybe the thirty five hour work week is a reward to the French working class for a job well done.
Anyone seeing a link here between France and Katie?

“So great, that young mother being able to come home at three every day and spend that time with her child. Isn’t that nice? The French, they’ve got it right, don’t they?”

Exemplifying a problem created by France's generous vacation and overtime rules the employees of the Hopital Vaugirard in Paris have accumulated 2 million days off, reports NPR's Renée Montagne on Morning Edition. French workers get comped vacation time added to their base five weeks of annual leave if they work longer than the mandated 35-hour work week and apparently even the French can't take all of that time off in a year. Nevertheless, "By law, they must take those days off by the end of this year, but that could mean closing hospitals for months."
Just to put 2 million days into perspective, that's 5,475 years of vacation time. There's no indication of how many employees are sharing that pool of vacation time, but if it were just one, they'd just be finishing a stint of paid time off that started in B.C. 3467, that is just around the time when the Sumerians invented writing and the Sahara started turning into a desert. (Yes, these facts were significantly more difficult to gather without the use of Wikipedia.)...

And my vote for who is the better dancer goes to Elaine Benes
