I Heart Roger Clark

I debated even writing anything about today's Report which focussed on a house fire in the Gravesend area of Brooklyn where a mother and her five children were rescued by firefighters and locals. Not exactly comedy gold. Good to know that everyone's safe, though my sensibilities are pretty bruised from almost a full week of Roger in a tie reporting in "serious dad" voice.

Roger, if you're listening, remember what Crosby, Stills and Nash said: "There is a time for laughter and a time for tears. A time to leave the tie at home and find a nice competitive eating contest to attend."

We miss you Roger.
