Podcast will pontificate on the primary
In addition to next-day editorials, we're planning a midnight (or thereabouts) podcast Election Night on the primary results that will be posted at news-record.com.
On hand tp pontificate about the headlines, national, state and local, will be Doug Clark, Mark Binker, Jeri Rowe (tentatively) and myself.
We hope to be concise and cogent and -- most of all -- awake and coherent.
We'll see you on the cyber-radio.

Allen:
Although my own use of the English language certainly is not exemplary, one of my pet peeves is the the improper use of the word "myself", which has become commonplace. I believe the word should be used only reflexifly such as "I did it myself" or emphatically: "I saw the man myself!" It should not be used to replace the personal pronouns "me" or "I".
So for example: "On hand tp pontificate about the headlines, national, state and local, will be Doug Clark, Mark Binker, Jeri Rowe (tentatively) and myself" should be:
"On hand tp pontificate about the headlines, national, state and local, will be Doug Clark, Mark Binker, Jeri Rowe (tentatively) and I."
Does the style book say anything about this?
If I am mistaken, please disabuse me of my false notion, as it will give me one fewer thing to worry about. If not, let's spread the word on how to use it properly.
With best regards (and hoping that I don't sound like a scold),
