Did you hear? Fifty Shades of Grey is coming out this week, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Good morning! Here’s what you missed while you were out partying at the Delt Lodge.

With all the election excitement this week, you might have missed this appearance by Martha Raddatz, ABC senior foreign affairs correspondent and a Kenyon parent, on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Monday night. Raddatz was the breakout star of October’s vice-presidential debate, which she moderated to widespread praise, and she spoke to a packed Rosse Hall just a few weeks ago. In this interview, Stewart asks Raddatz about her approach to the debate, her plans for Election Night and her work as a foreign correspondent. Sadly, no mention of Kenyon or the Lords.
This is, coincidentally, the second week in a row that a Fox News anchor has appeared in the Monday Catchup photo. (via slate.com)
