“What a horrible non story, there is no picture of the suspect to show resemblance to the crude drawing, no explanation of how the drawing helped, or why a police sketch artist couldn't work with the child like any other witness to produce a viable likeness. Huff is getting worst trying to fill space.”

“Another constant reminder of the racial under current of this Country, and how more time is spent trying to explan it away then to trying to abait it.”

“How noble of so many to believe that they are so advanced and have achieved nirvana by shutting off their cell phones or rejecting technological advances. Sure there are some down sides such as limiting personal contact, but progress will happen weither you come along or not. I avoided getting a micro wave for years until I realized that I could enjoy the benefit of it without becoming totally dependent on it. Today nearly every household has one and yet stoves and cook tops still exist in every modern kitchen. I own an iphone and have found it a great and necessary tool, not a toy. Sure I have many entertaining apps on my iphone. I also use it for accessing news websights (which allows me to locate just what i need without wasting the time of browsing through nonsense), Banking, shopping, dictionary, encycopedia, social networking, e-mail both personal and business, travel research, etc. etc As long as you are using the device puposely their is not danger of it taking your soul.”

“I guess the game plan of the republicans is to spend as much time as possible during the next 3 years putting out ridiculous articles and assertions about President Obama in hopes that people get tired of him. The only results that they will achieve is more of what their madness is yielding now, which is republican fatigue. People are already tired of being reminded that the republican party have lost all credibility and is the party of corporate America and the extreme right wing fringe. Keep up the good work, my belief is that nothing has strengthend President Obama's position and popularity more than the constant ridiculous republican attacks.”

“Cant wait to see what the lunatic right has to say about this. The Noble Prize has been reduced to nothing in their eyes after President Obama won it, Will the Dalai Lama be considered irrelevent to them after his defense of President Obama's position.”

“Your comment exemplifies the mind set of those against Health Care Reform, Short, Negative and without rational.”

“I am no Palin Fan, if fact I believe her to be a enemy of American Progress. You cannot be a substantial supporter of a person or their position if not getting your book signed can make you rethink your support.”

“I'm a tough SOB, ready willing and able to defend myself against an attack... That being said, I avoid most conflict like the plague. People you have to stop and think if your Pride is as important as your life or freedom. Pride is the only reason minor conflicts turn into major events. That is why it is considered a Deadly Sin, "Pride Comes Before The Fall".”

“Clinton is placing himself squarly in opposition with his comments, not in the middle. If he wanted to do something to help the people of ark. he would be there with bells on supporting the Clinic and bringing the out of touch Lincoln on board. Health care is for the people, the only ones against it are greedy insurance companys and their greedy paid politician and shills. Its not important if the headline is inaccurate (lot of that here on huff) the sentiments of Bill Clinton are clear and they are wrong.”

“Dollar Bill has once again entered the land of lost minds, hasn't he done enough research before this latest tirade to know that Olbermanns efforts have directly help promote and fund these free Health care forums. The fact is that Bill Clinton has successfully politicized the event by putting his 1-1/2 cents in. This is Clintons attempt to remain relevant in the health care debate after the complete failure of his Administration to make any progress on the issue. Hillary constantly brought up her failure in health care during the primary as some sort of indication that she would have better results as President. President Obama intentionally left Hillary out of the health care debate to avoid the further polarization of health care by resurrecting hard core Clinton haters. Congradulations Billy Boy, you have successfully placed another obstacle in the way of health care.”

“I guess bad press is good if you are going for volume.”

“Yet another incentive for loosing weight before going on that exotic vacation.”

“Much better than having him learn Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, or one of the other useless languages that would prepare him for the Future high growth job markets.”

“Try to learn a new tune or two. Its just a cloudy day, Obama did not send tax payers money to Iranian Spies in Iraq to pay off Afghan Scientist to block out the sun.”

“What a sweet deal, Lobbists paid on both ends.”

“Nice coat Hillary, I think that she looks good.”

“Congradulations, needless to say I found contention with his past and didn't agree with many of his positions, but the reason he is still there is because the people of his district are happy with his work. Its easy to say that its because of voter apathy as one post states, but if he didnt get the work of the people done and didnt represent their position he would have never lasted this long. Yes, Byrd is a strict Constitutionalist ; but everyone should agree that there are some outdated measures in that fine document. Unfortunately Byrd now has some Diminished Mental and Physical Capacities and its time for Constituency (in my Humble and less informed opinion) should enlist some fresh blood.”

“Once again an American who should know better decides that she (in this case) is above the law of another Country, and blatantly breaks it feeling that nothing can happen to her. Its unfortunate that people like this end up giving people of other Countries the wrong image of America and Americans.”

“Thank you for a racist view to consider.”

“Here, Here!”

“This is no doubt a case of small town Politics and over zealous if not corupt or at least incompetent police. I encounter dozens of people like Ms Ellis monthly in Supermarkets, Department stores, and Convienence stores. They are impatient, rude, and even disrespectful. At times these encounters end up in heated arguments (never with me), but not once has it ended in an arrest or fist fight. Much less a trial with charges that carry a hefty prison term. This story should read "Police arrest line jumper under charges of disturbing the peace", but instead these supposedly professional law inforcement officers turned a simple disturbance into a national protest; scaring the reputation of an entire town. Ms Ellis should get community service as a check out girl/women at the same store where she created the disturbance and the incompetent cops should be fired.”

“More Empty and ridiculous words from the Man who placed NYC's Emergency Command Center in a High Profile Terrorist Targeted Building, and then allowed it to be detroyed during his watch. He has no chance at any relevent position in Politics today.”

“Its funny how so many can quickly dismiss blatant racism and chalk in up as some sort of thoughtless mistake. Beyond the racist act of omitting the black couple, what about the act of putting the only couple of color out of four diminished and in the background. This is an old trend and it tells me that the advertisers are afraid of loosing revenue from one segment of the population (by offending them with viewing another culture of people considered to be inferior in an equal setting), yet secured that offending another segment will be tolerated and/or overlooked. The not so recent pratices of charging someone with playing the race card whenever a person of color cries foul to blatant or hidden racist acts is relied upon to make people hesitant of confronting these acts. No different than claming that a Jew is too sensitive when he precieves and confronts an anti semitic statement or act. As long as people of conscience continue to rush to the defense of the people who engage in these acts and statement, perpetrators will continue to have cover and will not hesitate to repeat them.”

“Kudos on your post”

“Once again the so called News Media goes for the quick, Darling story of the litttle cop that could (not to belittle Kimberly Munleys actions or her part in bringing down the Fort Hood Gunman). As usual there was absolutely no investigative reporting, just someone asking anyone questions and writting it down to be fed as soon as possible to the hungry public. This story sidestep the presses own responsibilty for what it puts out and blame the military for eroneous information. I've personally witness the press avoid finding out the truth when a juicier story was readily available from a quotable source. Its no wonder why news has become entertainment instead of information. usually after hearing a story for the first time i can easily recognize when something just doesnt make sense; and usually after a few days that story magically morphs into something else without explanation.”
