“NBC? Hello? Anybody home?
Excuse me. Please. Let me offer some advice.
When you are in a hole and need to get out; stop digging!
Your "Money-saving"* idea to strip Jay Leno at 10PM was absolutely, positively, ridiculous.
Somebody should have stood-up and said: "What? You godda be fuggin' hodda your mind!"
Now you've got Jay ...
Swirling around the inside of the bowl ...
On his way to getting flushed right down the toiled along with other shows that deserve the 10PM time slot: "Life", "Medium", "SouthLand" and "My Own Worst Enemy" and some others.
The good shows you programmed up against weeknight Blockbusters that were catching-on and developing audience; you blew-off because they didn't unseat those competitors nightly favorites.
No you dug your own grave so deep that you're about to break-out to the other side and see signs and billboards written in Chinese.”

“When you put to sea in any vessel; the International Rules of Navigation are in play.

Keep your distance.
The larger power boat has the Right of Way.

The Natural Laws of Motion cannot be violated.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
And, ... in the battle of Fiberglass vs. Steel: Steel is stronger.

The video speaks for itself.
A group of protesters in a fancy-schmantzy fiberglass boat, stupidly rammed into the steel hull of an Ocean going vessel and paid the price for their stupitity.
The "Save the Whales" protest suddenly turned into "Save our own azzes."
Whaler -1 ::: Protesters - 0”

“Ben:
The American People are behind you 100%.
These Credit Card Lenders who are charging in excess of 25% Interest are committing Usury.
The Credit Card Lenders are guilty of issuing unsolicited, pre-approved Cards and Negotiable Instruments to some people who are not financially qualified to assume the responsibility of taking-on any debt.
Rather than going it alone; call upon the legions of others, some who are being mistreated far worse than Bank of America is sticking it to you, to join in a Nationwide Class Action.
A Class Action with a full twist.
Instead of sending their monthly payments to the Banks which are ripping them off; have them send their monthly payments to you. Hold all the payments in Escrow until the Banks start treating people fairly.
Watch how fast the Banks decides to make adjustments to Interest Rates and negotiates a settlement when the money gets diverted to a Crusader with thousands willing to fight for a cause so fundamentally proper and right.”

“Thank you for abandoning your constituency.
Please fill-out the pre-approved Application to the "Low-life's Hall of Fame"
The line for GOP Obstructionist Lobbyist pay-offs is over at the far right.
Here are your excuses for abandoning those who supported you and served you.
They are the same-old lame excuses every traitor uses; but effective.
Fill your pockets with as much Lobby money and bribes until you are removed from office in the next election or a pending Recall Vote.
Don't go back home. They already fashioned a noose in the end of a rope for you.”

“The Regulatory Legislation that was supposed to overhaul the terms Credit Credit Issuers used to rake-in enormous profits will largely be side-stepped or otherwise avoid by the Credit Firms changing rates Terms Language before the deadline.
Nothing was accomplished to protect consumers from becoming owned by Credit Card Lenders who allow consumers to rack-up great sums of indebtedness that the consumer is hard-pressed to repay. There are Loopholes big enough to drive a truckk through. The Legislation should have contained language to limit how far in debt an individual could become to a Credit Card Firm and included Safety Net Language to protect a Borrower from being placed in a situation where they are paying NOT the MAXIMUM of what they can afford, but an amount that fits a budget and leaves the consumer within a debt ceiling they can realistically manage. Without a formula, based on a Borrowers annual income, that set a Total Debt Limit that could not be exceeded by Consumer or Lender, the Public is still vulnerable to Credit Card Company's grabbing for every dollars thay can squeeze out of a Card Holder.”

“Anyone angry enough to pull-out a gun, is crazy enough to pull the trigger.
The NBA Players aren't supposed to be gambling, anyway!
So, what is the Commissioner of Basketball going to do with this situation.
Just exactly what will the NBA call two Players who argued, pulled guns in the Locker-room and wound-up facing each-other in a Mexican Standoff.
Hinn-derr-ezz-ding!
Veddie, veddie hinn-der-ezz-ding?”

“I haven't had one iota of respect for the Republican Senators after their post election shenanigans to deny Senator Al Franken's victory, fund his obstruction to become seated, sabotage the Emergency Legislation, pile-on Earmarks to the Stimulus Package and treat the President of The United States with the disrespect they have shown and allow.
That the GOP is engaged in a process to see that the Initiatives of the Obama Administration are unmet by doing everything in their power to deny the passage of The Presidents important Legislative promises proves that they are not abiding to their oaths and placing Special Interests ahead of The American People. Your Republican Senators. The Best Representation That Money Can Buy!”

“I have ZERO tolerance for this kind of RACISM.
The originator is a racist.
Those who say they innocently forwarded the Email are racists.

At the moment you encounter such a racist message or photograph, what you decide to do with it defines you.
The idea needs to be stopped. Not spread.
Those who forwarded the email are just as guilty as the one who originated it.
The forwarders are racists too.
Treat them as such and demand their resignations after their apologies.
Immediately. The offense is grievous and unforgivable.”

“Scammers?
Oh, no.
You mean I'm not going to get the $47,000,000 that the guy said he'd deposit in my account after I sent him $35,000 for the Legal Fees and other various and sundry expenses.”

“I would have thought that we'd have dismissed Sarah Palin from being connected with reality long before the beginning of the new year.
She hangs-on like the odor and allergic symptoms to mold. There's nothing to be done but let the source dry-up and sunshine take care of the fungus.
She's enjoying her notoriety. That's for sure.
But, the idea that we'd entrust her to make decisions for the whole Country is ridiculous.
The people in high places are working so hard to get rid of her that someone at Fox News said they paid the Producers of "Dancing With The Stars" not to invite her to be on the show.
Shouldn't be be competing on "Biggest Losers" though. That's what she really is, right?”

“The Country IS angry. Segmented anger. But, angry -- just the same!
Military families. Angry! They are angry because the Country has not been called to assist them in the seemingly never-ending and escalating war on terror that sends troops into battle for three of four tours and calls-back reservists who are decompressing form being in the kill zone.
Blue collar workers. Angry. Their jobs evaporated when the economy that the GOP helped to collapse under George W. Bush, is now in a deep recession with unemployment figures in double-digits and the banks foreclosing on their homes, leaving the home vacant and the client homeless.
The People. Angry. After being lied too by the Right-Wing Press who broadcast the terrifying lies about the Obama Health care Initiative and reform legislation intended to lift the Country back toward prosperity; only to have Big Business and corrupt legislators get bonuses while Middle-America gets disregarded so others become rich.
It's not hard to find an angry American.
We have Fox News with their unique way of twisting facts to scare the Country and keep the Right's message of fear and loathing toward the Obama Administration for just that!”

“The GOP guaranteed President Obama wasn't going to deliver on his campaign promises. When Democrat Al Franken won the Minnesota recount; the GOP told Minnesota Governor Pawlenty not to seat a Temporary Democrat for Senate business until the "The Coleman Appeals" were exhausted. With Minnesota's Seat vacant; the GOP sabotaged the Obama Initiatives and piled-on Pork Projects amounting to Billions despite the President Elect's guarantee he wouldn't sign the Legislation with Pork Barrel baloney piled-on.
When President Obama was Inaugurated, the GOP celebrated by sending a Bag Man to St. Paul with nearly $3,000,000 keeping the defeated Republican Senator's appeals process funded for bringing all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court. A time consuming process that allowed the GOP Senate to craft the New Administrations Legislation their way.
Now, with the addition of Honorable Al Franken to the Senate, the Democrats have a highly responsible new member to give the Dems 60 Votes in the Senate. But, until Franken arrived, the damage was done. The GOP took a sledgehammer to the tablets that Obama sent to have made Law. Now, until those GOP obstructionists, bribe takers and closet racists are unseated by a Democratic challengers; the President will be struggling to scrub-off the graffiti, epithets and insulting language the Republican Party left on everything when they bought the soul of former Senator Norm Coleman and had him commit political suicide for a hopeless case the Minn. Supreme Court unanimously laughed at before throwing out.”

“The heads of Big Insurance signed their names to blank checks they handed to their Lobbyists to do everything in their power to derail the Obama Health Care Initiative. They frightened the elderly into thinking they'd be coached to refuse care when they were diagnosed with a terminal illness.
They sent-out Press Releases with lies to sway the public away from the plan that the Right-Wing Obama-haters embraced as the truth and repeated in their broadcasts incessantly. The Health care Bill became more about Reform than Care; so the Lobbyists distributed more money to persuade the Lawmakers to change their vote. The Dishonorable Gentleman from Connecticut did just that. Other Senators needed to be bribed and appeased with money, promises and rewards.
What they present to The American People in lieu of Health care for ALL dissolved into a worse mess than they made of "Genuine Credit Card Regulation".
Once again the cooks have spoiled the dinner. What was on the menu will not be served. They're going to call it steak, but it's not even close to a good hamburger. That's what coming on the plate. Spoiled ground-beef with Hamburger Helper. And, they'll make us eat it or shove it down our throats. Your United States Senate. Best Lawmaking that money can Buy!”

“Excellent!
Bravo!
Two Enthusiastic Thumbs Up!
It takes a good deal of preparation to make a Video such as that.
I hope those involved get all the credit they deserve.

Viva la France!
Magnifique!”

“Gee wizz. Dem's didn't do enough. You don't say! Look at the bright side. You got the Bill out of Committee before the Lobbyists were able to fill-up all those brand-new brief cases with the bribe money and get them all handed-out. There's only a a couple of things that the American People had hoped would be in the Bill. Most of what the Lobbyists needed got in there. It's too bad you couldn't manage to get it passed without its heart and soul. Maybe next time. You know, you should really give The People a chance to offer you guys a counter-bribe as a reward for actually doing the job you got elected to do. It's a crying shame that there are going to be so many people who voted for you, when you promised to represent them in Congress and Senate, be left without a program for their Health needs because you accepted another briefcase for your collection and forgot about the letters and petitions you haven't read that your Aids have for you to read, in theirs. Do us all a BIG favor, next time. Don't be so obviously corrupt. Your giving Politicians a bad name.”

“The very best Evening Newscast I can imagine would be a modern-day, hour-long, co-anchored program in the mold of what we once had with "The Huntley~Brinkley Report".
I would give the two co-anchors both Executive Producer and Managing Editor responsibilities and 1-Hour of Live Network "On-the-Air" time, Monday through Friday and get out of their way while the two of them bring the Country "Up-to-speed and Up-to-date" with their unusual takes on the news of the day; delivered with the extraordinarily uncommon but thoroughly enjoyable panache they have with their on-air presence. From New York City: Seth Meyers. From the Nation's Capitol: Jon Stewart. "Todays News and Stuff" with Jon Stewart and Seth Meyers. "Goodnight, Jon." -- "Goodnight, Seth." -- "Don't say goodnight, Jon. I'm in New York. It's still Happy Hour in a few joints. See you tomorrow, man" -- "OK, Baby. Later"”

“Live! From his intellectual sewer. Here comes todays helping of bold-faced lies and far right-wing propaganda. Misquotes. Out-of-context material. Totally faked facts. Stock footage and B-roll bastardization. Disguised as truth, -- falsehoods. First Amendment protected preaching about what never happened blamed on an innocent public figures without their protection from libel and defamation. And, ... last, but not least. Totally contemptible, utterly reprehensible, shamefully heinous and abhorrent hate speech aimed at the President of the United States from Fox New's resident bone-fide racist, ... Glen Beck. How nice for Beck to be a Broadcaster in America. The safe Country where behavior such as his doesn't have State Employed censors whose responsibility it is to kidnap and summarily execute individuals who speak against the Leaders after bringing them someplace where they are forced to dig their own grave!”

“Howard enjoyed a nice run. He's still doing an act that his peak audience grew-up and got tired of and the emerging audience doesn't relate to. If Stern was to close his mic, take-off the headphones, walk-out of the studio and hit the lights, to never be heard from again; it would take less than a minute for the audience to tune to another incoming signal and find something to listen to without slowing-down, except to look-over to find the knob to turn for tuning-in something else.”

“Placing Leno on TV at 10PM, Monday through Friday, surrendered 10PM to just about any competing Programming and was a woefully bad idea before NBC had the idea and found reason to pretend the experiment would work.
Once NBC committed to the scheduling change, Peacock's competitors started promoting their strong 10PM shows; moving around a few others to attract the 10PM crowd to sample something new. Jay was in a tight spot. Caught between 30-Rock and a hard time of night to fight for audience seeking pre-news or pre-snooze escapism. Jay stood before NBC's programmers and refused a blindfold as he faced a firing squad for those NBC Exec's who wrongfully sent Leno to the front line, five days a week, against the competitions strongest dramas and mysteries. The idea should have never got put on paper.
The paper the idea got put down on should have been balled-up and thrown in the trash. The trash that's on NBC replaces good shows canceled before letting them catch-on and grow. A few have been picked-up by competition and flourish in their new time slots on other networks. The payback for alienating audience is obvious when you read the comments on the Blogs of shows that NBC dumped. It's primarily because audience don't want to watch NBC; strictly because scheduling Leno at 10PM was how they saved money canceling shows audiences did watch before NBC decided to sacrifice Jay Leno and piss-off several million viewers.”

“Has any other Senator come forward and told The Truth about what got lopped-off that Health Care Bill and what that had to give to bribe the Honorable Gentleman from Nebraska? NO!
Senator Al Franken is "On the record" telling us not to shake the Big Box because what's in there isn't what we had hoped we'd get for Christmas.
I guess it's fair to say that "Senate-Clause" delivered presents that will have nice bows and ribbons that will make the boxes they decorated make us feel like we were all on Senate-Clauses 'Nice' list, so we'll be getting everything on our list. Nope! Senate-Clause gave all the naughty kids good stuff they didn't even ask for. The good kids don't even get to hear a Lump of Coal tumbling-around in box with our name on it. The box got shook so much by Lobbyists, by the time we'll get to unwrap it, the Lump of Coal will just be dust! That this not-so-jolly Senate-Clause had anything to give to anyone at all, in view of the GOP's outward disrespect and contempt for absolutely "Anything Obama", makes getting anything renew our belief in miracles.”

“The Republicans spent a King's Ransom in a failed attempt to keep Senator Al Franken out of the Senate. The Republican Senatorial Committee would have put a lighted match to the United States Constitution to have prevented just exactly this very moment, where Franken, as a Senator, enforced the Senate Rules.
The Honorable Gentleman from Minnesota is still taking-it-easy, not yet deliberately shaking the cages of them Good-'Ole-Boys which contributed quite generously to the effort to prevent Senator Franken from being seated in their exclusive Gentleman's Club.
As time passes by and Senator Franken has had his fill of the shenanigans the Republican Senators are pulling to disrupt business and deny the initiatives the Obama Administration presents for the betterment of the Country, I expect to have Senator Franken begin letting the People know how badly we are being represented by some members of the Senate similar to the way Michael Keaton took care of business when he heard them say: "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!"”

“"We, The People, are getting royally screwed by a GOP Minority Senate that has but one mission they are HARD at work on: Seeing too it that President Barak Obama's initiatives for CHANGE for the betterment of The American People ... FAIL!
Although the hard-line GOP Senators know that the Legislation proposed by the Obama Administration is intended to lift this Country from Depression, provide a boost to the economy creating jobs and give nearly 50-million citizens some needed Health Care they presently are suffering without; the Anti-Obama Lawmakers spit upon the Legislation the President asks for, while urinating on The People who trust them to act in their constituents best interest.
Knowing, as we all do, how important it is for the Nation to adopt what President Obama promised us when we went to the polls and chose him to lead our Nation.
But, it is quite obvious, after the reprehensible outburst of disrespect shown to President Obama during a Nationally televised address to the Joint Session, that there are ulterior motives in the way of this Presidents success. Some Honorable Gentlemen are not worthy of being called Honorable. They are despicable and unworthy of holding high office. They are this Nations shame. Now, we know for certain!”

“The Private Contractor's are paid up to $1000.00 per day.
Lets say this bunch is going to get $800.00 Per Diem.

56,000 X $800.00 = $44,800,000.00 per Day!
$44.8 Million X 30 Days = $1,344,000,000.00 per Month
Let's call it an even: $1.34 Billion!
$1.34 Bill-lee-yon Green-backs, ... times - 12 Months.
That come out to, ... (2,6,8+1,3,4, -- 8,10, carry the 1,6,1), ... a little bit over:
$16,000,000,000.00 [16-Billion Dollars] per YEAR!
This is OK!
Health Care is NOT!
Something is fundamentally wrong with those who are running our Government.
Paying mercenaries BIG MONEY to go and KILL people is approved and funded.
Spending ANY Money to help-out sick and injured people who might die???
No way in Hell.”

“Here comes the Mascots attempt to use a large inflated sphere to boost him up so he can dunk.
Oooh, ... He didn't quite get the launch he was hoping for.
He's down under the rim.
I think he came down hard and is shaken-up. But, everybody thinks its in the act.
He needs to get up and walk-it-off.
Well, the Big Cat died trying that stunt; but he's got 8 lives left.
Set that Big Ball up in front of the hoop and lets get him to try it again!
You think he needs to get more air?
No. I think he needs to have his head examined!”
