Interview

Jimmy McMillan, who became somewhat famous as a candidate running for New York City mayor on a platform of "The Rent Is Too Damn High," is now running for president on a new platform: "Gasonline Is Too Damn High. "  McMillan sat down with New York-based comedian Jena Friedman (who posted the interview recently to YouTube) for what has to be one of the strangest conversations I've ever seen.  In it, McMillan runs through a series of topics including his criticism of men who "throw babies down the toilet," the dating section of his website, why pregnant women look like "wolfman" and, somewhat touchingly, true love.  "If you say you love, you love," McMillan says.   

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy I have been complaining for more than a year about what a journalistically bankrupt decision NBC News made in hiring Chelsea Clinton as a special correspondent for Brian Williams "Rock Center. " I have reviewed each of her performances chronicling the downward arc of her learning curve. NBC's make-believe correspondent really did keep getting worse. But this is too embarrassing to even talk about.

In their search for a new manager, the Orioles brought in two candidates Thursday, one who was previously in Cleveland and one who has been around here for a long time. Eric Wedge, the 2007 American League Manager of the Year with the Cleveland Indians, was interviewed in the morning, and Rick Dempsey, the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network broadcaster who coached and played for the Orioles, interviewed in the afternoon. "We had two interviews," said Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail, who wouldn't reveal specifics.

Update 2 p.m. Monday: Preliminary Nielsen ratings say 3.5 million viewers watched Winfrey's interviews Sunday night. That is more than twice the previous high of 1.6 million for any program ever on her OWN channel. And she rated highest with the target demo of women 25 to 54. Read on for my overnight rave of Winfrey's interviewing performance. There is no reason to whine about missing Oprah's syndicated show when she is doing work like this on OWN. Oprah Winfrey 's OWN cable channel might still be underperforming, but the legendary talk TV host showed in an interview with members of Whitney Houston's family Sunday night that she can still bring it like few others on television.

The Orioles will interview ESPN analyst Bobby Valentine for their open manager's job Friday, according to an industry source. Andy MacPhail , the club's president of baseball operations, is expected to conduct the meeting in Baltimore. MacPhail has just started the interviewing process after firing Dave Trembley last Thursday and appointing third base coach Juan Samuel as the interim manager. Valentine is believed to be the second candidate to interview after another interview that took place Thursday, an industry source said.

Eddie Murray Position: Indians hitting coach Date of interview: Oct. 2 What Murray said: "This could be a special situation here, with where the ballclub is and wanting to make a few changes here and there. And it's a place that I know, believe it or not, I'm comfortable." Where he stood: Early front-runner. Sam Perlozzo Position: Orioles bench coach Date of interview: Oct. 14 What Perlozzo said: "I will tell you that I'm an energetic guy. I like communicating a lot with our players.

You've been out of a job for awhile and finally land an interview. The interviewer asks you for your Facebook password. Do you swallow your outrage and give it up, hoping there's nothing incriminating? Or, do you refuse, knowing you'll likely not get the job? If proposed Maryland legislation gets passed, you won't have to make that choice. A bill now making its way through the General Assembly would make it illegal for an employer to ask for your user name or password to access your personal accounts.

Not long after he met with the media and answered questions about his upcoming interview for the Tampa Bay head-coaching job, Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips had second thoughts. Phillips, who has done an outstanding job in his first season with the Texans, called Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik and withdrew from consideration. “I explained my reasons to Mark, and he understood,” Phillips said. “The timing just wasn't right. The truth is I love it here.

You likely remember the 3 a.m. phone call. In 2008, the most effective line of attack his opponents mounted against candidate Barack Obama centered on the freshman senator's lack of experience. An ad for Hillary Clinton famously implied that you did not want this callow naif answering the phone at a moment of pre-dawn crisis. Though the country eventually decided it did, in fact, want Mr. Obama, the argument was valuable in that it forced the electorate to ask itself what kind of experience is necessary to a president.

In a letter sent to the Johns Hopkins Medical community Friday afternoon, Faculty Dean and CEO Dr. Paul Rothman labeled Dr. Ben Carson's comments on gay marriage "hurtful" and "offensive. " Rothman's letter is a turning point in what has been two weeks of a fierce culture-wars debate in the media about Carson. It shows that it wasn't only liberal opponents who were offended, as Carson, Fox news and conservative commentators have consistently contended. Carson's offensive comments were made in an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News on March 26 when the partisan host asked Carson for his views on gay marriage.

Loyola men's basketball coach Jimmy Patsos, who has led the program to its first back-to-back seasons with more than 20 wins as a Division I team, has emerged as one of the top candidates for the opening at Siena. The 46-year-old coach will be in upstate New York on Monday to interview with longtime Siena athletic director John D'Argenio, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. Dargenio fired Mitch Buonaguro after the Saints finished their third straight losing season with an 8-24 record.

I am not among the many who are shocked that Ben Carson, the brilliant and widely admired neurosurgeon based at Johns Hopkins Hospital, would emerge as a hero of the political right and Sean Hannity's new best friend. That Carson would stoop to making (and later sort of apologizing for) homophobic remarks on Hannity's national television show - associating gays with pedophiles and people who have sex with animals - didn't surprise me, either. I know: Here's a man who separated conjoined twins, improved and saved the lives of countless children, established a scholars program that has benefited hundreds of young people, wrote inspirational books and gave countless motivational speeches.

Paul Cantabene took the unusual step of prohibiting players from the Stevenson men's lacrosse team from conducting interviews after Tuesday night's 7-6 home loss to Tufts. Instead, the coach did all the talking, choosing not to mince words about the Mustangs' lackluster effort in their first loss in seven games this season. "I didn't think we played well," Cantabene said of the offense. "A lot of bad passes, a lot of bad drops. I think we're better than that, and for some reason, our attention to detail wasn't really good, and I thought we shot to some poor places and made their goalie look good.

Samuel L. "Sandy" Frank, a retired Baltimore clothing manufacturer executive and World War II veteran, died Feb. 28 from cancer at his Roland Park Place home. The former longtime Mount Washington resident was 92. The son of Henry Frank, who headed A. Frank & Sons, and Ruth Frank, Samuel Lewis Frank was born in Baltimore and spent his early years in a Eutaw Place home before moving in the 1930s with his family to Crossland Avenue in the Dumbarton neighborhood of Northwest Baltimore.

Watching Keith Olbermann interview his boss, Al Gore, Tuesday night for the second night in a row, I couldn't help noticing something: How much Olbermann looked like the RCA dog, head cocked slightly to the side, listening intently at his master's voice. That is, of course, when Olbermann wasn't nodding in agreement at what his master said. Check out the video at about 1 minute and 8 seconds and again at 2 minutes and 40 seconds for some of the enthusiastic nodding. This is Keith Olbermann, the guy who thinks himself worthy of Edward R. Murrow's legacy.

Rick Peterson, who received rave reviews as the Orioles' organizational director of pitching development this season, will interview Saturday for the vacant Boston Red Sox pitching coach job, according to an industry source. Peterson, 58, has been a big league pitching coach for the Oakland Athletics, New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers. He spent 2012 working with the Orioles' minor leaguers -- and several who made the jump to the big leagues this season -- and was lauded by club executive vice president Dan Duquette for the way the players took to Peterson's teachings, which included extensive biomechanical work.

NEW ORLEANS - Twelve years ago, Steve Bisciotti arrived for Super Bowl XXXV as a minority owner of the Ravens, content to remain in the background and have fun with his friends. Bisciotti, his wife, Renee, and his assistant, Pam Lund, arranged for 250 family members to travel to Tampa, Fla., for the game. He rented a corporate tent and hired a band for pregame entertainment, and then he watched the game from a suite at Raymond James Stadium. After the Ravens beat the New York Giants, 34-7, to capture the franchise's lone title, Bisciotti was on the field to watch the trophy presentation and then he took his sons inside the victorious locker room.
