    The media has a responsibility to report on the good government does when they do it in equal measure to when they fall short. A new kind of both sides, if you will!

    I'm sure this good news will get the same coverage that bad economic reports receive, but just in case it doesn't: -- Today, unemployment claims hit their lowest level since 1969 -- The number of Americans relying on unemployment benefits dropped to the lowest level since 1970

    One of my favorite Albright stories is how, as a DC society housewife, she used to listen to her then-husband and his pals speculate over drinks about which one of them would get on the cover of Time first. And then she ended up on the cover before any of them.
