Cokie Roberts

While I was picking up lunch and a prescription for my mom, I listened to a small part of "St. Louis: On the Air" on our local NPR station. The interview was with Cokie Roberts on her new book, Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation. I saw Cokie Roberts on The Daily Show a few weeks ago and she was smart and funny!



I couldn't catch the whole interview, but I found out that she was going to be at the St. Louis County Library for a presentation and book signing this evening. I invited my friend Stacey, and we attended the event. She really is a delightful and very insightful speaker. I'm definitely going to pick up the book soon, and as soon as I finish the book, I'll provide a report.

Justin Webb's America

I stumbled upon Justin Webb's blog, while I was browsing around the BBC News website. From time to time, I like to see how the rest of the world views the United States. Justin is specifically writing about the US campaign for the next president. It's interesting reading.
