    "Meet The Press'' was great yesterday

    Guest co-hosts Mr. Nadal and Mr. Federer were much more entertaining - and just as informative - as the usual collection of conventional wisdom spouting suits & skirts that pollute that time period and channel on Sunday morns.

    Evidently the entire city called in sick.

    And I here Wolf Blitzer hosted his 10th Anniversary Bloops & Blunders Special of his weekly blabfest.
