I’ve been confused by this statement every time I’ve seen it:

“owing to the combination of fewer seats in the newly-refurbished briefing room (7 seats per rows for 7 rows instead of 6 seats per row for 8 rows).”

7 * 7 = 49
6 * 8 = 48
49 > 48

How does this translate to “fewer seats”?

Old: 6 * 8 = 48 seats, 6 of which were front row, of which Helen T had one and CNN and Fox had none.

New: 7 * 7 = 49 seats, 7 of which are front row. Helen was bumped so that both CNN *and* Fox could have front-row seats.

Now, who lives the the red house, drinks vodka and owns a zebra?

Say a quick prayer for USA Today’s Susan Page who’s coming up on the 8:30 slot of Wash Jour to talk about their latest poll……..the wingers are gonna go for blood wrt the new Brit/German poll saying the Iraquis just *love* the way things are going in their homeland.

Yep. Personally I just hate it when the day doesn’t begin with explosions, shootings, neighbours dragged off, checkpoints, lack of electricity, kidnappings and a trip to the morgue to identify loved ones.

If I was a travel agent I’d be offering a Bliss outside the Green Zone Getaway Spring Special but alas…no fortune for me to be made there!
