Chelsea

Previously on "Survivor:" everything that happened this season. In hindsight, I bet the men sure are regretting that time they volunteered to go to Tribal Council and voted out Bill. And I wonder how the game would have played out if karma hadn't stepped in and taken Colton down. Jeff then runs down each of the remaining contestants. To summarize: Sabrina and Kim are awesome; no one knows why Christina never got voted off; Chelsea is also awesome, plus the guys love her; and Alicia survived despite everyone's expectations (including my own)

I AM feeling a little post-election smugness because I endorsed Clinton early on.When I say Clinton, I mean it in the loosest way.Actually, I mean Chelsea, and her father only in the sense that if he raised her he's got something good going on there.It doesn't matter whom I endorsed, of course, because I'm too young to vote. Because of this minor hindrance, it's dubious that any president will directly champion my interests or even understand what they are. Politicians' ideas of youth are limited to an amorphous rhetorical device, a first cousin of "the future," if you will.

Didier Drogba scored twice as Chelsea maintained its five-point Premier League lead with a 3-0 victory at Arsenal on Sunday, while Liverpool's monthlong search for a league win ended with a 2-0 victory over Everton. Drogba scored toward the end of each half to give him 10 goals in nine games against Arsenal, and defender Thomas Vermaelen turned the ball into his own net at rain-soaked Emirates Stadium in London. Chelsea leads Manchester United by five points and Tottenham by nine.

Christian Morales scored two first-half goals Thursday and the Baltimore Bays Chelsea Under-15 Boys clinched a spot in the US Youth Soccer National Championships final in Overland Park, Kan., with a 5-2 win over the Mount Hamilton PAC Tigres of California. After a fifth-minute goal from Jeremy Degraffenreidt and another score from Christopher White in the 35th, Morales scored in the 37th and then again in the 45th minute for a 4-1 lead. Romilio Hernandez scored shortly after halftime for Baltimore, which defeated the Concorde Fire Elite, 4-3, in its opener Wednesday.

Bill Clinton's got a big problem. Bigger than the deficit. And potentially more explosive.Where will our new president send his 12-year-old daughter, Chelsea, the light of his life, to school? Public school or private?You don't have to ask why that matters. His decision will be an early and important test of the man, the father, the president, the politician. It may not be a test he can win.This is about messages. Bill and Hillary Clinton are longtime vocal supporters of public schools. Bill Clinton has made education reform a centerpiece of his political life, Hillary a centerpiece of her private one. If these two turn their politically correct backs on public schools, who will be left?

Washington -- At the ice cream truck parked outside the Sidwell Friends School on a sunny May afternoon, Chelsea Clinton's classmates giggled as they told how the presidential daughter portrayed a fortune-teller at a school carnival."

I AM MARRIED to a man who considers it a privilege to pay taxes, and reminds me that our nation's tax rate is among the lowest in the world. I try hard to remember that about this time every year. It doesn't do me much good, but I offer his attitude in the hopes that it will give some comfort today, to someone.Sleepover with 'Chelsea'One thing that does give comfort is the indomitable energy and enthusiasm of youth. Take, for example, the bevy of students, ages 5 to 18, who are preparing an original musical for presentation at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts.

Mystique will give way to history when 22 of the world's best soccer players rendezvous on the freshly sodded pitch of M&T Bank Stadium before a sellout crowd of 71,000 on Friday night. If Florent Malouda is any indication, there will be as much curiosity on the pitch as there is in the stands when Chelsea FC stares down AC Milan in the World Football Challenge exhibition, known as a "friendly" in soccer parlance. Malouda, a 29-year-old French winger playing for Chelsea, was clearly intrigued with the prospect of a packed stadium on U.S. soil.

We start out this episode back at camp after Tribal Council, where the rest of Tikiano is as amused by Kat finding blindsides “fun and exciting” as I was. Tarzan is trying to hang on, and trying to maneuver himself into a final three scenario; I would say he had no chance, but I also didn't think he'd make it this long. Kim knows her best chance to win would be to take Alicia and Christina to the final three, but that would mean betraying Chelsea, who has been her loyal ally from the start.

This episode made me happy. There may be hope for this season yet. At camp, in night cam after Tribal Council, Sabrina now has a big ol' target painted on her back because she's smart, straightforward, people like her, and she's articulate enough to convince a jury to see things her way. Alicia think she's in a pretty good position right now because she's none of those things. For once, I agree with her. Treemail is product placed, and leads me to believe that reward will be calls to home, but as always, the family and friends are already on the island.

Can Troyzan manage to stick around for another week, or will this be the most predictable season of "Survivor" ever? Back from Tribal Council, Tarzan has figured out that the numbers are not in his favor, but he's wrong if he thinks sticking with the women and keeping his head down is the way to go. If Troy gets immunity (which could easily happen), Tarzan is going home. Kim is disturbed that she's been outed as a target -- umm, you've been pulling the strings for a couple of weeks now (out of a total 4)

The learning curve for Chelsea Clinton, special correspondent, continues to bend in the wrong direction. Clinton's Wednesday night report on chain restaurants that donate leftover food to charity was slightly better than her previous efforts. But only because the producers used every trick in the book to give us less Chelsea and more of anything they could find to distract us from her. Less was marginally more. One of the most striking aspects of the report was how similar its opening was to the first report she did for "Rock Center" a few months ago. Her debut opened with needy children in an after-school setting getting a free meal, and so did Wednesday's.  But in the first report, the producers gave us lots of Chelsea.

In December, I called the hiring of Chelsea Clinton as a special correspondent for the newsmagazine "Rock Center" a "journalistically bankrupt decision by NBC News. " In February, after seeing Clinton's second report for the show, I wrote that Clinton "failed Journalism 101 -- again. " On CNN's  "Reliable Sources," I called the quote from NBC News President Steve Capus that it seemed to him as if Chelsea Clinton "had been preparing her whole life" for this job in journalism one of the most outrageous and disconnected-from-reality statements I have ever heard from the mouth of a news president in 30 years of reporting on the networks.

Chelsea Clinton did her second report for NBC's "Rock Center with Brian Williams" Wednesday night, and it was just as flawed as the first. The learning curve does not appear to have bent one degree in the direction of growth. This one-dimensional, under-reported, naive celebration of a charter school in Rhode Island was just as much of an empty-headed puff job as Clinton's first report on an after-school program in Little Rock. And before you take to your computer to send an email telling me how mean it is for me to criticize this 31-year-old woman who has been given educational and workplace advantages generally belonging to the elite 1 percent we have been hearing so much about in recent months, let me say my criticism is not primarily directed at Clinton, but rather at NBC News, It knows the difference between jounalism and the silly crap she is doing.

Don't look now, but Bill, Hillary and Chelsea will be spending time at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts during the next couple of weeks.The Clintons won't be lonely. "Administration heartthrob" George Stephanopoulos will be along, as will America's first feline, Socks.Teddy Roosevelt is slated to drop by with his precocious daughter Alice in tow, and Abe Lincoln also is expected to make a long-awaited reappearance.Now, before you dial 911 to have me carted away, please know that I'm referring to "Chelsea," an original musical production for children that will be presented at Maryland Hall in Annapolis in the coming weeks.

WASHINGTON -- It is easy to pick out the inconsistencies in the Clintons' expression of concern about their daughter Chelsea's becoming the center of press attention.The president and first lady have been given high marks for the special efforts they have made to protect the privacy of their daughter. From all accounts, Chelsea has been an outstanding student with many friends and an active social life.No one would argue that she has had a normal childhood. Most kids don't have Secret Service details following them around.
