Nothing says Memorial Day quite like an episode of "The Bachelorette. " We hope you guys at least enjoyed some grilling and had a few beers before sitting down for this one. Typically the dates on "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" are somewhat extreme (or at least extravagant). So far this season the producers have missed the mark with a trip to a West Virginia "resort," a tame cookie-baking session and acting classes with The Muppets. We were hopeful that the previews for this episode included a helicopter, helmets, ropes and crying.

Kenneth O'Donnell, aide to President John F. Kennedy, stepped into a small cubicle at Parkland Hospital, where Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson nervously waited with his wife and several aides to learn the condition of the president. Kennedy had been shot as his motorcade made its way through downtown Dallas on a sun-splashed November autumn afternoon.

Does anyone in charge at NBC News have any sense of journalistic standards? How about any sense of shame? I have been banging away at NBC News since at least the days of the suck-up White House interview the network's bowing anchorman, Brian Williams, did with President Obama. You remember the one when they "spontaneously" went out for hamburgers in the middle of the day. (Loved the celebration of special correspondent Chelsea Clinton the last few months as well.) But the double whammy this week is just too much for me to keep quiet - even though I'm on vacation.
