A man, a plan, Afghanistan

Michael was on TSR and Campbell Brown’s program this afternoon. Clips are converting and will be up ASAP now posted on the site.

Wolf also confirmed that Michael will be part of tomorrow night’s coverage of the president’s speech.

Belated holiday wishes!

Hope everyone in the US had a great Thanksgiving, lots of turkey and parades and football and especially family and friends!

As many of you may already know, Jenmelia (one of our regular posters) was in a serious car accident Tuesday night — she is lucky to have only minor injuries, and that was one more thing to be thankful for today.

I’m hopeful that Michael will do some commentary Tuesday when the Afghan plan is announced… but you know how good I am at predicting when CNN will have him on, so we’ll see.

AC360 tonight

Thanks to Sharon for passing this along — Atia Abawi tweeted about tonight’s program:

AtiaAbawi Getting some sleep before our live hit for AC360, watch tonight, joining the panel on Afghanistan with Peter Bergen and Michael Ware.

There certainly is a lot to discuss, hopefully they will have a good long time to talk.

UPDATE:

AtiaAbawi Just finished a pretape for tonight’s AC360 with Erica Hill on a panel with Mick Ware and Fareed Zakaria. Airs tonight at 10pEST.

US publisher set

Michael now has a US publisher for his book. Random House was the high bidder at an auction set up by his literary agent. The description: CNN foreign correspondent and former Time Magazine Baghdad bureau chief Michael Ware’s BETWEEN ME AND THE DEAD, the author’s unvarnished first-hand account about the brutal experience of war, by one of the few mainstream reporters to have lived in Baghdad near-continuously since before the American invasion of Iraq … no date information was included in the announcement.

Playing catch-up

Well, it’s Sunday, and I’ve pretty much spent the entire day catching up the clips from the past few days! I’ve just posted the CB and AC360 clips from Thursday, the AC360 from Friday, and NewsRoom from Saturday. (Michael has been busy!)

Still no fix for auto-tweeting the site posts. This may be something I can’t do until I can upgrade to RapidWeaver’s latest version, which I can’t do until I get a new computer. Which… well, doesn’t look likely to happen soon. Apartment-hunting is the first priority I have to think about now, so hopefully the duct tape will keep holding my PowerBook together for a few more months!

Meantime, while dealing with some RL drama the past few days I missed posting Happy Birthday wishes to Mavis (Friday) and to Délie (Saturday)! Darn, here we missed a couple great excuses to party! I hope they both had wonderful birthdays and will have a great year ahead of them!
