NOTES from the BIG CHAIR

Our latest at Townhall.com, published Monday, is a piece about my good friend Dean DuBois who passed away last week. Lots of mail coming in on that.

Also Monday had a one-on-one breakfast with Charles Bierbauer, former CNN senior Washington correspondent who now serves as dean of the University of South Carolina's College of Mass Communications and Information Studies. We discussed everything from the finer points of reporting, interviewing, and being interviewed on camera to the Florida election craziness in 2000 to military public affairs. Fascinating to say the least.

Speaking of fascinating, attended a lecture by Qubad Talabani (son of Iraqi president Jalal Talabani) Monday evening at USC's Law School. Will be sharing more on that later.

And finally, speaking of cameras, was interviewed yesterday here at home by Christopher Hines with E! True Hollywood Story.

E! is producing a forthcoming television special, and they flew-in Chris and a camera crew to talk with me about piracy and terrorism. They basically turned my house into a television studio, but fortunately turned it back into a house before they left.
Stay tuned for updates on that.

Best,
