Yesterday, I discovered an unlabeled cassette. I had no idea what was on the tape or what year I'd recorded it. Upon playing it, it appeared to be an NPR newscast from 2004. The newscaster said, "John Kerry says he'll raise taxes but only on the rich."
That's a reminder that a lot of news is often about plans that don't pan out--or materialize but not through the person(s) who promised them or on the originally projected timetable.
