Perky little Katie Communist, aka Katie Couric, wants the input of all the little people on how she should sign off her show:

Walter Cronkite had the most famous nightly farewell, "And that's the way it is." Edward R. Murrow used, "Good night and good luck."

Well, it's a new era here at The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric and Katie thinks maybe you folks on the other side of the screen might have some good ideas for what her own sign-off should be.

Continuing the informal, folksly, nauseating tone, they say "What should Katie Couric's sign-off be? Be a news writer and send us your bright ideas."

Not having anything particularly funny to say, I nevertheless typed these in:

* While I'm on "leave", Howard Dean will be filling in for me.

* I'm perky, and you aren't.

* I'm in charge now.

* I can't believe Walter Duranty was their first choice.

Some other ideas are presented here.
