Big day in my career. First time I composed my commentary for All Things Considered on my computer. Good-bye, typewriter.

Sorry, not available for Week in Review tomorrow morning. I have to make a speech in Salt Lake City.

To my Twitter friends... don't labor too hard on Labor Day. :)

Still trying to make sense of the health care debate.

Amazing thing-- the Aug. 6 Wash Post crossword puzzle lists under 32 down "NPR news commentator Daniel"... Can anybody guess the answer?

Would you call a summit over beer a "brew-haha"?

President Obama is having beer tomorrow night at the WH with Professor Gates & Sergeant Crowley. WH refuses to reveal what kind of beer.

My thanks to those who commented on my Walter Cronkite message by saying nice things about me.

With Cronkite's death, this has been a week of memories. It took me back to a time when there was such a thing as a trusted journalist.

Big problem today on whether momentum for health care reform is slowing down.

So today, I'm trying to figure out whether Obama will do better handling the Russians than previous presidents have done.

Happy Independence Day to one and all who cherish our democracy.

Commenting today on Gov. Sanford of South Carolina and all his extramarital affairs.

Busy today with the weekend chore of trying to assemble the news in some comprehensible way.

I remain fascinated by the uprising of young people in Iran.
