Los Angeles Times:
After more than 40 years, ‘‘The Tonight Show’’ is leaving Southern California and heading back to New York...So. Will NBC return to a ‘‘bustling city,’’ or more ‘‘blah, blah, blah’’? Tune in tomorrow...
...
‘‘I’m old enough to remember when I was in New York and I was a kid, it was, ‘‘Oh my God, the ‘Tonight Show’s’ leaving New York and going to Los Angeles,’ ’’ [Jay] Leno recalled, sitting in the green room next to his studio. ‘‘It seemed like the most glamorous thing in the world.’’
Things change. New York — a safer, more prosperous city than it was in the 1970s — has solidified its standing as the nation’s media capital, with most of the major news and talk shows originating there.
‘‘‘New York is the bustling city and blah, blah, blah,’’ Leno said. ‘‘All the excitement’s there, all the movie studios, they start their big campaigns in New York. So now it’s going back.’’

Donald Sensing:
The Gwinnett County, Ga., Democrat party tweeted a shot taken in Atlanta during its snow storm of the jammed, unmoving Atlanta interstate with the caption, ‘‘When you spend more than a decade electing people who don’t believe government should exist, don’t get upset when there isn’t one to plow your exit.’’The list:
Which is amazing because Atlanta has been governed by nothing but Dimocrats for 70 years.
(HT to ‘‘askeptic’’ for the dept. title.)

That’s the fun part of the job, the satisfying part. The part that makes up for the fact that most people in the news media don’t make a great deal of money...’’

And they will cling to these childish beliefs right up to their deathbeds, assuring themselves that true communism has never been tried, that capitalism is the greatest threat to humanity and liberty ever created, and that they and theirs have a monopoly on ‘the good,’ while everybody else is ‘evil.’
That they are able to maintain these beliefs in rainbows and lollipops, even while standing on a mountain of bones created by them, [is] because, while they are indeed self-made naifs, they are also deeply stupid. And stupidity, in the end, always extracts its own deadly price.’’
