Barker's Newsbites: Friday, December 19, 2014
Well, folks, happy days are here again - Kim's flying in today for the holidays!
I'm picking up Mary later this afternoon and off we'll go - over the river and through the woods... literally - to JFK.
Hell... I was up at the crack of dawn (well... 7:05 a.m.) this morning in order to get Hank a LOF; mission accomplished by the way!
So... today's Christmas song...
Oh... and folks... DON'T FORGET... set up your DVR's...
MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL IS BEING AIRED TONIGHT...!!!
WPIX... Channel 11 here in New York... 8:00 p.m.!

President Obama's counter-terrorism officials backed negotiation involving two of the world’s most prominent jihadi clerics as well as former Guantánamo detainees in an attempt to save the life of an American hostage held by Islamic State, the Guardian can reveal.
* NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORISTS. AGAIN.
Emails seen by the Guardian show how tentative talks with the spiritual leadership of Isis to secure the release of Abdul-Rahman (Peter) Kassig began in mid-October and ran for several weeks, with the knowledge of the FBI.
* WITH THE KNOWLEDGE - AND APPROVAL - OF OBAMA.
Kassig – who converted to Islam while imprisoned for more than a year – was the most recent western hostage to be killed by Isis. The jihadi group announced his death on 16 November with a typically grisly video.
* SO MUCH FOR OBAMA'S NEGOTIATION SKILLS...
