My objection to the White House Correspondents Dinner, the reason I've never attended, goes back to the mid-1990s, when I first had the opportunity. Journalism is, generally speaking, adversarial. Journalists should not have chummy, just-us-pals relationships with the subjects of their beats.

"University of Iowa police respond to a shooting on the University of Iowa Iowa City campus in Iowa City, Iowa, on April 19."

My theory is all those sloppy, misspelled, grammatically unmoored scam emails are sent by sophisticated grifters to make their real scam solicitations — the well-crafted, picture-perfect re-creations of legitimate websites — even more persuasive.

And you may find yourself living in a Red Stick
And you may find yourself in another part of the SEC
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large Tigermobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful co-ed
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026 led by Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Oasis, and Wu-Tang Clan — but 3rd time isn’t the charm for Mariah Carey Sade, Luther Vandross, Iron Maiden, and Joy Division/New Order also make the cut. Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and Gram Parsons among Early Influence honorees.

Look, I've never particularly been a fan of Mariah Carey, but this is absurd. She is one of the five best-selling female artists of all time, with 19 No. 1 singles. That Billy Idol and his safe-for-Grandma punk lite gets in and she doesn't defies all explanation.
