Digging Deeper-Daniel Kopans and Kimberly Gregory Mammogram Controversy.  The US Preventive Services Task Force has changed the regulations for mammograms.   Kopans, who started his segment by tooting his own horn, thinks that that the change, which suggest reducing the number of screenings, is too risky.  Gregory, rocking some sweet yellow glasses, was quite capable at [...]

Carrie Prejean on Larry King, “Young women can learn from my mistakes.”  This was after she refused to take a phone call because of a deal that Larry King supposedly had with her “publicist.”  Poor Larry King.  He kept stretching for good questions, but Carrie kept shooting out lame answers, but at least she looked [...]

  Motives for Murder – Drew Griffin The first family was in Fort Hood today for the memorial service.  About the killer, Obama said that no faith justifies murderous acts.       The question is whether or not this is an individual act of violence or a jihadist terror attack.  According to a federal [...]

What better way to get ready for AC than listening to Larry King serenade the voluptuous Mariah Carey? Raw Politics – Tom Foreman Nancy Pelosi claimed that last night was a win for the Democratic Party, clearly focusing on the house election in northern New York.  Michael Steele, on the other hand, hailed the dawning [...]

It’s a special election night show, but there’s a few non-political items on the agenda (I hope).  On another note, my video is back!! New York – District 23 John King is at the big wall showing Virginia.  It’s a red sea unlike in 2008 when Barack  Obama fared reasonably well there.  The question is: [...]

A little pre-show twitter action: BoniniGirl: And also… I have to admit it -> #igottacrushon @andersoncooper ! ;0) Breaking News – Gary Tuchman James Arthur Ray is still on CNN.  Danielle and John, two former Ray followers, gave details of their experience in the sweat lodge.  This was a quick intro segment that got pushed [...]

I thought I would title this one, “24 minutes of balloon boy, and some other news,” but I decided to stick with convention. Breaking News Balloon boy.  AC called the dirigible a love child of a helium balloon and a jiffy pop.  Richard Heene, Falcon’s dad, from Wife Swap, seemed genuinely concerned about his son’s [...]

Wow, Ben Stein and Arianna Huffington were on Larry King tonight.  Whoa.  Their conversation ran the gamut and they mostly agreed lamely. A sleepy AC360 tonight.  Literally, I zonked out for a few minutes in the middle.  Just not enough news, I guess.  Looks like Chicago is all but forgotten and nobody is playing their [...]

Raw Politics – Candy Crowley he Senate passed its version of the healthcare bill.  It has a total cost of $829 billion and does not contain a public option.  Crowley beleived that “this is not the final victory” for President Obama and his healthcare plan.  Only one Republican voted aye on this bill.

AC360 10 10 09: GOP Jealous, Inspiring Others Matters, and it’s never easy to be popular in France? ?

Welcome to the daily AC360 recap. News Machine here. (Strange name I know) First off explanation of the title: The jealous part you get, the “it’s never easy to be popular in France” was a mistake made by Fareed Zakaria when speaking to Anderson Cooper about President Obama’s Nobel Prize win. I think he meant [...]

Anderson is back in New York after yesterday’s great show in Chicago.  Daytime TV watchers will want to check in with Regis and Kelly tomorrow, as AC will be on! Raw Politics Problems for Charles Rangel.  He owns a house in the Dominican Republic and has been renting it out, while not submitting that income [...]

Special from Chicago

Anderson reported from the exact site where Derrion Albert was beaten to death.  The memorial of stuffed animals and wilted flowers still limps along now, days after the murder.  Ninety-four kids have been killed in Chicago in the two years since Anderson was last in Chicago. Arne Duncan visited Chicago today, saying that something has [...]

Heated Debate: “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”…Thanks Anderson

Lots of debating concerning the segment below. I heard lots of people say they did not like Anderson’s style of moderating the discussion. Listen to it to know what I’m talking about. It’s late at night and I don’t have the energy to give you all the tiny details. Or just see last night’s AC369 [...]

Back in the saddle again with Anderson Cooper. Keeping Them Honest Senator John Ensign, admitting an affair.  I’m getting sick of political affairs! In June, the senator admitted that he’d had an affair with a staffer.  Ensign is alleged to have helped his mistress’s husband, Doug Hampton, find a job as a cover-up. Dana Bash [...]

Not Covering Last Friday

Sorry guys but I’ve been in bed for the past 3 days. Coughing, swollen eyes, weak, sore muscles, headaches. Who gave this to me? I’m going to the doctor on Monday again. Me typing this is a real miracle and I just need all my energy to just drag my fingers through the keyboard. I had [...]

Many apologies if I come across as a bit snarky tonight.  I’m really exhausted.  It’s a good thing I’m not blogging the Heroes show. Breaking News David Letterman the victim of blackmail. David Letterman “dropped a bombshell” during his show’s taping today, reported Randi Kaye.  Letterman admitted that he has been the victim of blackmail, [...]

Back in close-up at the top of the show, Anderson is still at least previewing most of the segments.  It must be lonely in that little box. Sorry about the shortage of photos/video tonight.  My recorder had a bit of a glitch and I didn’t get to record the whole show. Breaking News A magnitude [...]

I also find the new opening format refreshing.  I noticed it on American Morning, too.  The show opened with Anderson Cooper standing and providing a preview of what was coming on the show.  It certainly made getting this review ready that much easier.  Maybe people felt that the show was a bit too rushed. Raw [...]

Sickening: AC360 Monday 09 28 09

Welcome to the daily AC360 review and summary I love the way AC360 opened up today. Anderson Cooper  stood next to a giant screen announcing the different segments of the night with images of stories on screen. It was well labeled and clear to understand. I don’t know if this is new or if they have [...]
