Since Boston is now a PPM market, it won't matter much (if it ever really did, ratings-wise), but it's actually WTKK (two K's).

Airbrushed, thanks.

12:10 EDT? Really? So that's 11:10 in standard time.

BTW: AM or PM?

From now on, just to make things clear, I won't include the time.

Barry In Charge:

McConnell interrupted the discussion at Blair House on Thursday, more than an hour after it began, to note that Republicans had only spoken for 24 minutes compared with 52 minutes for the Democrats.

"I don't think that's quite right, but I'm just going back and forth here, Mitch," Obama said. "I think we're just trying to go back and forth, but that's okay."

A few moments later, Obama noted the session was running long and acknowledged ? with an explanation ? that Republicans hadn't spoken for quite as long.

"You're right that there's an imbalance on the opening statements, because I'm the president," Obama said. "I didn't count my time in terms of dividing it evenly."

Health care? Summit? I think they should argue health care on the summit of, say, Mount Everest. No food, no coats, whoever makes it back after 30 day can write the legislation.
