Carer section

Not sure if the Career section of this is really accurate?

Holt spent 19 years with CBS beginning in 1981..... In 1982, he became a reporter and weekend anchor on KNXT in Los Angeles (that broke the continuum, unless that was still CBS) and the next year he returned to WCBS-TV as a reporter and weekend anchor. In 1986, Holt moved to WBBM-TV (also CBS?) in Chicago where he spent 14 years anchoring the evening news. (If he spen 14 there in 1986, what happened from '81 to 2000?)

fiscal cliff legislation

After hearing your report last night concerning the fiscal cliff legislation that Congress hastily past, we need to know specifically who the idiots are who wrote those items into the bill. It seems they always go unidentified and are allowed to hide in the shadows. It is clear that whoever it is has rubber stamped some lobbyists wish list once again instead of addressing the needs of this nation as a whole. Perhaps an expose of this question and a clear picture that identifies that person in Congress who writes this stuff will stop this crap.
