I think Matthew may be sleepwalking. I don't, however, know how to tell the difference between true sleepwalking and just being really sleepy. We've joked for months now that he reminds us of a drunk college kid. He wanders around the upstairs…(read more)

But the combination of NBC and Comcast is still undergoing government review, and Comcast has poured out its piggy bank in Washington to see it through, spending tens of millions of dollars on lobbyists, donations, ads and investments.
