Last night, Katie Couric made her CBS Evening News debut. Overall, the newscast was perfectly fine - no banter, a long Lara Logan feature on going in Taliban-run Afghanistatn, an interview (sorta like The Daily Show, just without the humor) with the NY Times' Thomas L. Friedman, a segment from Morgan "30 Days" Spurlock, and what the public has really been waiting for, pictures of baby Suri Cruise (she has a crazy head of hair!). Sure, people tuned in for last night's broadcast, but will they tune in every day? Are you going to watch? And are you going to help Katie pick a sign-off?

Is it just us or does there seem to be more club-related violence lately? Last night, two women were shot at Crobar. The Post says that a man "pulled out a gun and started shooting," forcing the club to be shut down around 10:20PM. The two women are in stable condition and the police are still looking for the gunman.

Bar patrons are more and more crazy these days! A bouncer at the Hudson Hotel was punched, then stabbed by a woman he was throwing out of the bar. Shanti Booker, who the Post describes as a Staten Island mother, was complaining that she wasn't getting drinks fast enough, and when she and her boyfriend caused trouble, security guard Rasman Mushett asked her to leave. But she threw a punch, and then, as one witness described, she "drew out a knife and shanked him." Booker and her boyfriend, Daniel Valentine, fled the hotel, but were apprehended a few blocks away. Mushett is recovering at Roosevelt Hospital.
