May – June 2015

Elsewhere in the Vast Wasteland, I was not a huge David Letterman fan for the last ten years or so (although I will say that the show was far better on NBC), but I was quite sad when he closed up shop. End of an era, blah blah, but true. He really was the last great broadcaster, the end of a line that stretched back to Dave Garroway (whom I, obviously, only vaguely remember). Conan’s too frantic and arch, “the Jimmys” are utter ciphers, and Stephen Colbert seems too tightly wound, a really bad choice to succeed Dave. But I am often wrong, so there’s that.

Once again, your support is always deeply appreciated, and is most conveniently accomplished by subscribing.

And now, on with the show…

    So, when August comes around, what had been the “May 2015″ column is relabeled as “May – June 2015″, but not otherwise changed?

    Uh, yeah. Because I seem to be losing my sight and there are many days I can’t read a computer screen, I fell behind to such an extent that there is zero likelihood that I will catch up with June and July.
