Tucker Carlson tells the Politico’s Aoife McCarthy and Michael Calderone what h is New Years plans are given that the Iowa Caucus is only two days later…

MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson told Politico that he has a “philosophical commitment to dinner” on the road, and has done so whether reporting from Beirut, Baghdad or New Hampshire.

“You don’t want to be a worker bee,” Carlson said. “You don’t want to become a nasty little careerist like some people.”

Carlson said he’s planning a New Year’s Day dinner with friends, perhaps at the famous 801 Steak and Chop House (801 Grand Ave.).

“I’m not going to eat Butterfingers or macaroni and cheese in the filing center,” he said.

This was sent in by an emailer. It appears Alan Colmes has a blog. But it’s not associated with Foxnews.com, which makes it sort of odd to me…

The You Decide 2008 section of Foxnews.com is strikingly different from the rest of the Foxnews.com website. It’s so different that I wonder if this is a test for a new design rollout of the entire site?

This apparently stemmed from rumors circulating about staffers concerned over job security actively looking for new jobs.
