...year. So the news media--all chasing the same ad dollars in a bad economy--learned the value of putting on a show. Formerly straitlaced outlets gave themselves an attitude makeover to keep up with the blogs and Comedy Central. CNN hired comic D.L. Hughley to do a late-night show, and even the stodgy Associated Press started injecting bloggy potshots and analysis into its wire stories. If you didn't snark, you didn't exist...
Noch’s, Felipe’s, and the Kong, move aside—another Harvard food joint is trying to woo hungry late-night patrons. B. Good kicked off its 2 a.m.-weekends on Sept. 19, giving Harvard students another place to satisfy their post-partying munchies.

She had a solid 90 minutes of rapid, confident discourse and kept herself from being the story of the night (as well as the constant punch line of the election season). Improved her image and partially turned the page on McCain's bad two weeks, enabling the Republican-ticket team to try to regain some footing in a contest that has been steadily slipping away - but didn't revolutionize...
