• Will American Women Ever Get A Mandate? Maybe 'Martha' Can Show Us by Barbara Lippert (Mad Blog on 11/07/2024)
  

  Barbara, beatufiul column, thank you.  I watched the Netflix documentary last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. P.S. Don't listen to the trolls, Martha certainly doesn't, and nor do I. Life is too short. 

• Tractor Supply Faces Pushback, Calls For CEO Resignation by Tanya Gazdik (Marketing Daily - Top of the News on 07/03/2024)
  

  Hey Tom, thanks for reading. I'm not sure what you are referencing. I just checked Motley Fool and the TSC common stick price has actually dropped $5 a share since the anti-DEI announcement, $262.53 on July 5 vs. $267.55 on June 27. 

• Obit: Industry Journalist, PR Exec John Wolfe, Dead At 72 by Joe Mandese (MediaDailyNews on 05/20/2024)
  

  Very sad news. John was always one of the "good guys" and went out of his way to help me on many occasions. He will be missed. 

• Kellogg's CEO Ripped For 'Let Them Eat Cereal' Comment by Tanya Gazdik (Marketing Daily - Top of the News on 02/29/2024)
  

  Hey again, no problem at all!  I don't disagree with you -- I've been known to eat a bowl of Special K with a banana for dinner out of convenience more than poverty. I think my father invented the "fourth meal"... he would often end the day with a bowl of corn flakes. I only select TOTN items that have a good number of articles written about the subject. If you search for "cereal for dinner" you'll see what I mean. I think his comments just came off as insensitive given he's a high-salaried CEO.

• Unlike MacArthur's Old Soldier, Jon Stewart Won't Fade Away by Adam Buckman (TVBlog on 01/26/2024)
  

  I haven't watched The Daily Show since he left. I liked Trevor Noah but it just wasn't as compelling. But I'll check out Stewart's return for sure. Smart of Comedy Central. Everyone has bills to pay, right? 

• Test Drive: Hyundai Santa Fe Is For The Dogs by Tanya Gazdik (Drive Time on 12/26/2023)
  

  Hi Virginia, thanks for reading and for the comment. Checking how flat the rear seats fold is literally the first thing I do in every single model I test drive, so I'm with you! I'll keep searching and will keep you posted. 

• Test Drive: Chevy Bolt EUV With Super Cruise Offers Value by Tanya Gazdik (Drive Time on 04/24/2023)
  

  I hear you. It bothered me more when the Bolt first came out. I think maybe I'm not as annoyed by it after driving it for a week and enjoying the heated seats and steering wheel, which I use a heck of a lot more than the power liftgate.
