So much of life is a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Andy Warhol predicted a future that would make everyone famous for 15 minutes. Combine that with the Peter Principle, which tells us in essence that everyone rises to the level of their incompetence, and you have Sarah Palin.

It’s on like Donkey Kong
Randi Kaye posted to the AC360 blog today and she wrote about education, a topic I hold dear to my heart. While I see her good intentions, it’s going to take a whole lot more than that to win me over. Anyone who is outside of education likes to make opinions about education and we [...]

Coverage on Mondays and Fridays + CNN Ratings
Hi all? You may have noticed that there has been no AC360 reviews on Mondays and Fridays. I’ve been covering those and have been extremely busy moving into a new place, working for tons of people all at the same time (I’m a freelance writer, translator, journalist, marketing expert and sales person…yah I know plus [...]

Small Break: David Gergen Boogies and party in the parisian subway???
This is a little bit of a break from the serious news.
A Boys2Men style group singing in a parisian subway and getting people to dance along (well almost), Shakira gets nuts, and Gergen shaking it on the dance floor!
The reactions of the people in the subway is too funny and it has had more than [...]

The Truth: I only had one hour of sleep and will scream if I have to cover the Ballon Boy (Keeping me Honest)
I’d like to thank Aaron and George for covering all week. You guys did a brilliantly fantastically super duper hyper mega nice greatly AMAZING job.
In keeping in tune with this week’s TRUTH theme on AC360, as George pointed out.
I can’t cover Friday’s AC360 although I’m on duty. I’ve been working on some business application and [...]

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 welfare and [...]

‘News Networks ‘Surge’ in Afghanistan’ by Broadcasting & Cable
Interesting story I found today. It’s from the news site Broadcasting & Cable talking about how news networks seek out dangerous news stories on purpose…and how Afghanistan is now their cherished target. There’s an Anderson Cooper quote somewhere in there, but frankly the whole article is just interesting.

Pro life, to the point of death
The finality of a death sentence and its irreversible nature if errant is at the forefront of a case in Texas that was the subject of an AC360 report on Friday night.
Cameron Todd Willingham was convicted of arson in a 1991 fire that killed his three daughters. In 2004, he was executed for the crime. Now, [...]

Request to AC360:Please consider this as a ‘Shot’
Hi to AC360, to Anderson Cooper and the producers. This is by far the funniest video I have ever seen in my life. It’s Hooked on a Feeling by David Hasselhoff. Please add it to ‘the Shot’ one of these days, that would be great to share some laughs with others… a big thank you !!!!

Technology: Do we control it, or does it control us?
A column by Thomas Friedman in yesterday’s New York Times provided the focal point of an AC360 discussion Wednesday night that focused on the rawness of American politics at present. Those discussing the issue with Anderson Cooper were Democrat strategist James Carville and Republican former Cabinet member William Bennett, and the conversation ran along predictable [...]

Congress looks after own interests, not those of constituents
The future of the public option was front and center on Tuesday evening’s AC360, with discussion by David Gergen and Candy Crowley prefaced by the comments of liberal filmmaker Michael Moore. The up shoot: the current healthcare reform debate is stifled by a paralysis among American conservatives, both in Congress and at the grass roots level, to enact [...]

Time to Call Batman vs The Mad Hatter
There are speeches and there are just speeches. Myriads of speeches, in fact, are cheered and applauded. One however will stand out in history and that was what Israeli Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered before the UN a day after Iranian tyrant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke before the UN saying nothing new really, except his incessant attack [...]

Top of the show
The show opened with Anderson Cooper, thankfully back from Afghanistan, staring characteristically into the camera in a frame that seems just a little cramped. This show had not one, not two, but three panel discussions on issues from racism, Joe Wilson, and medical malpractice. The show was very fast-paced tonight and jam-packed [...]
