North of Boise a few days ago, I drove through high mountain desert - bald, sere, dun country with the look of the Middle East about it. The sky glared nearly white, hazed but cloudless, and the air was a breath of blast furnace, the temperature at 104 F. Military trucks passed, carrying more firefighters north to the Burgdorf fire...
...watch Brooks and Dunn belt out "Hard-Workin' Man" for George W. Bush's coming-out bash, thoroughly jazzing up the Texas delegation, their little yellow Stetsons bobbing to the twangy, big-backbeat fake-country jam. Too bad for you. It was the perfect lead-in to "The Sky's the Limit," Bush's getting-to-know-me film, a video invite to the line dance he's offering to take the country on for the next four years...

Given Letterman's caustic streak, one has to assume Kathie Lee's appearances were initially arranged to capitalize on her sky-high cheese factor. But as the years went by, a grudging sort of camaraderie emerged between the two; Letterman grew to appreciate Gifford's self-deprecation, which seemed to blossom in recent years - perhaps as the only natural response to Frank's fling with a flight attendant and Cody...
