Report: Leno To Return to 11:30 Time Slot?

Commented Jan 07, 2010 at 16:19:13 in Los Angeles

“In its wisdom, NBC took Leno from his late night perch - where his ratings consistently beat Letterman, et al -- and plunked him into prime time. This was not his choice. NBC, run by the arrogant and uninsightful, thought Conan would capture the younger crowd. Guess what? He's not doing well either.”

“Aren't a lot of these people Bus/Cheney holdovers? Cheney is just praying for a massive attack. He needs to be in jail.”

WeMustSpeakOut replied on Jan 07, 2010 at 12:21:13

“There are more hold-overs than not, and it seems Cheney continues to play a larger part than simply "praying". These people don't just relinquish power and stop what they are doing because another figurehead takes the helm.
This sob should absolutely be in prison - preferably extraordinary renditioned to one of our most horrific secret prisons. We'll see how Mr. Cheney likes the taste of his own bitter medicine.”

Rahm Emanuel Reportedly Considering Run For Chicago Mayor

Commented Jan 05, 2010 at 22:44:58 in Chicago

“I thought Rahm would be good at that job. Not so sure, now. Maybe he was just too political. Mayor of Chicago? Surely there's another Daley in the wings.”

rchwel replied on Jan 06, 2010 at 11:23:11

“I knew Rahm was a bad choice for COS, his constant bickering with Howard Dean and his unwillingness to be a team player was evident during the campaign and we can thank Rahm for the moderatecon dems and bluedogs, Rahm is not a progressive and did nothing to help progressives win seats, he is an oportunist like LIEberman .”

Parker Griffith Staff Resigns: Nearly Every Member Quits

“He's a Blue Dog. His staff are Blue Dogs. Their "principles" are Republican principles. So, why did they quit?”

jade7243 replied on Jan 04, 2010 at 17:02:08

“Because they are DEMOCRATS. Not Republicans.

Democrats come in all varieties. Progressive Democrats, like you, need to remember that. The Democratic Party is a "democratic" party.

Progressives would be wise to stop calling names and stand with their fellow Democrats. This notion that there are only "certain" party members who count, is straight out of the Republican playbook. It is what has decimated their party and allowed the likes of Palin, Limbaugh, Cheney and DeMint to rise. Republicans are purging their party to be of one-mindset and one color.

The "one mind, one color fits all" mantra doesn't work with Democrats. Progressives should not have to be reminded of that.”

Foreclosures Hurting Home Appraisals

Commented Jan 04, 2010 at 12:56:03 in Business

“During a refinance, our home was appraised for $100k less than the going rate. Even the bank realized how off that figure was and did the deal, anyway. The appraiser was from way outside the area and his comps weren't even close. My refi took 13 weeks, but I had locked in the rate. Fight the figures if it is justified.”

“The poll questions reads "What woman have you heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most?" Heard about or read about....... hmmmm? The media have covered the vindictive, nasty, petty, SP with slavish, slobbering devotion. Remember, Americans vote in higher numbers for American Idol than for an American president. That she didn't win is the bigger surprise. What a disgrace!”

LiberalScoop replied on Dec 30, 2009 at 12:40:26

“I don't get it. You're saying there's something wrong with the country because we didn't vote SP to the top slot, based on sheer media coverage? I say, bravo! That means people aren't just associating popularity and value with the number of times they see a person on television. Might be a rise in critical thinking, here. I'm hopeful.”
