In Case You Missed It

Sometimes we don’t talk about stories that are being covered by sites where we figure most of our readers will probably see them, and we don’t have anything special to add. An example of that was Hugh Hewitt’s great interview with Terry Moran, ABC’s White House correspondent. We posted some of the outrageous questions that the White House press corps asked Scott McClellan earlier this week, touching on subjects like »

As I sit here drinking a Diet-Pepsi

I’m wondering, why should I drink something that tastes this bad after PepsiCo president Indra Nooyi’s speech at Columbia. Americans are dying every day bringing freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan, and killing terrorists who target much of the world to which Nooyi thinks we are giving “the finger.” Does Diet Coke really taste that much worse than Diet Pepsi? If Donald Sensing, who actually likes the drink, is considering a »

News of the world

News of the Columbia Business School graduation remarks by PepsiCo president Indra Nooyi has reached India via the Times of India (here and here). The Times of India perceptively notes the “damage control” undertaken by PepsiCo. Has the news reached the Times of New York? No such luck. Today’s New York Sun, however, carries a brief report on Nooyi’s remarks by Christina Rogers (here). Rogers tracked down Columbia MBA ’05 »

Play the hand

The pause that enrages

The Columbia Spectator has stopped publishing until next fall, so we are unable to verify or supplement the report of reader Wes Martin, Columbia MBA 2005. Martin wrote us late last night: At yesterday’s recognition ceremony for newly minted Columbia Business School MBAs, we had the president/CFO of PepsiCo as our distinguished guest speaker. After beginning her speech with words of praise and recognition for the graduates and their families, »

Report: Clinton’s State Dept. calendar hid meetings with big donors

Featured image AP has identified at least 75 meetings that Hillary Clinton had with longtime political donors, Clinton Foundation contributors, and corporate and other outside interests that were not recorded (or not properly recorded) on her State Department calendar. AP identified the meetings by comparing her calendar with separate planning schedules supplied to Clinton by aides in advance of each day’s events. In many cases, Clinton’s State Department calendar simply excluded the »
