Only Old People Watch TV News, But . . .

. . . it is a measure of either my ignorance or my sophistication (pick one), that I had forgotten that Katie Couric was an evening television news anchor. Come hell (Japan's nuclear crisis) or high water (Katrina and New Orleans), I usually turn to CNN when I want some video to leaven my online newspaper loaf.

That noted, La Couric hints that she is stepping down, which has opened the floodgates of speculation about how should succeed her. My pick: Watson the Robot.
