Drudge is reporting that DNC Chairman Howard Dean refused to appear alongside his RNC counterpart Ken Mehlman on this morning's "Meet the Press" on NBC. As Drudge points out, such heads-up interviews have been common in the past, with Dean's predecessor doing it five times -- just on "Meet the Press"! Which brings up the […]
I'm a big "Mythbusters" fan and often watch an episode (I've got my DVR set to record them) when I've got 45 minutes to kill.
