“Mr Saget, Good Thanksgiving story, but, I prefer to drizzle the gravy over the Breast... OOOH!!!AAAH!!!”

“That would be awesome!!! She and Todd were going to end up bankrupt and broken if she had continued as Alaska's Governor, due to all of the ethics complaints, so now she is out there selling a libelous book and doing speaking engagements for the lowly far right wing nuts, where those gigs and the money will run out before too long, so if she were to be sued, and the lawyers and complainants were to take the book money, she could conceivably end up in the same situation from which she ran away from in Alaska. The Fraud deserves nothing less”

“LEt's face it, She could not afford to stay in office as Governor of Alaska, because of the numerous ethics complaints that were filed against her, that would have bankrupted her and her family. It's obvious that she brought this upon herself because of her own actions throughout her political career. It's too bad that she will apparently never be convicted of any of the ethics violations that she did commit, because she did in fact resign and by doing so most if not all of the complaints have been or will be dropped. She has run out on Justice
I would love to see a full investigation brought to bear upon her and "Not the God, Todd" regarding the home that he claims to have "built by himself". It's not coincidence that there was a Hockey rink, amongst other building projects going on in Wasilla, all about the same time that their Million dollar home was about to be built.. Racing snow mobiles and holding sown part time jobs, does not bring in the kind of money necessary to afford to build that house, especially when you take into consideration, the rather high cost of living in Alaska. The pictures we saw on the "Today" Show, prove that they were not exactly "living off the Land" At Least there are now several associated parties that are happy to reveal her for who/what she really is; A Fraud”

“The policy with China started long before Obama was president. Much has changed for the better in China, and I suspect that more good will come of it. IT is in our best interests to work toward maintaining the relationship that we now have with China, and continue to expand on it. They are a bigger Super Power than are we, they have a much larger military, and 4x as many citizens. While both political parties here in the US continue to divide this country to the point where I think one party would prefer to draw us toward another civil war, China continues to grow it's economy unlike anything the US has ever seen. When it comes to ultimate peace and stability in Afghanistan and Pakistan, I suspect that China may be the power that steps in and ultimately brings that about. Cuba is a small nation directly off our coast, where the people wish to be free and the government is entirely corrupt . Fidel could not be trusted and we still do not know at this time if his brother can be. This will take time, but I believe that Obama's desire to extend relations opens the door for the first time since JFK was President. "W" certainly never made any attempts to open a dialogue”

“That #1 Bestseller rating is total BS. Yeah, the retailers bought them up, and at this point, I'm not sure why,. There were 1.5 million printed, but they are not actually flying off the shelves as a #1Bestseller should and normally would. There are some retailers that have actually already marked them down by one third. I'm sure that there are regions of the country that are selling them at a pretty good clip, but it pales in comparison to most other Bestsellers. Yeah, we are well aware of her fans whom are very excited by a Dumb Broad to take the place of their Dumb Bush. I would not be surprised if some of the other books currently on the Bestseller list may actually be outselling her book, and not just in those regions where her book is not selling well. I was watching the monologue of one of the late night shows last night and the host asked how many people had already purchased her book since it went on sale yesterday. The total and complete silence was deafening. Not one person in that audience was even considering it, and then the crowd roared with laughter when they realized not one of them would be buying the book or the Fraud that is Sarah Palin. I'm sure that she will blame the host for it all.”

“With the type of Wars being fought today, and most likely in the future, (unfortunately), the Nuclear Bomb really has no use. Wars have become more of a Gorilla Warfare type of battle, are directed more toward a regime or group, as opposed to an entire region or nation. Unless China and Pakistan step to the forefront of any disarmament agreement, with the US & Russia, this is going nowhere. I would love to see the disarmament of Nuclear Weapons around the globe. No doubt that it would lead to a more peaceful world with far more diplomacy used instead of weapons of any kind to resolve conflicts.”

“Thanks Max. Apparently you have no regard for the 63% majority that voted for this administration and it's plans to bring about real reform, especially with Health Care. Your sham of a bill only makes the wealthy Insurance Companies & their principals even wealthier, beyond imagination. Your Bill would make many of them wealthier than Exxon and it's Senior Executives. I suppose you are looking at life after the Senate, and would expect a nice 7 figure job with one of these companies. Did you even bother to consider the ramifications of your bill? IT would force companies, especially small companies to get rid of their older workforce and avoid hiring them altogether. Oh yeah, I know about the laws that are suppose to prevent discrimination based on age, which have not worked for years and would probably be changed in order to prevent any conflict so your friends at the Insurance Company can truly control the economy, similar to how Big Oil and the Mideast Oil Producers do. Do us all a favor & resign so you can go ahead & take that 7 figure job, & we all have no doubt as to your loyalty. You are despicable.”

“OK, we gave Wall St over 800 billion dollars, & a year later, they are resorting to their same old tricks of the trade & reaping billions, while lining their own pockets with 100's of millions of Taxpayer dollars. I hate to say it, but the Feds need to cap their salaries/bonuses & pensions. they also need to enact legislation that prevents any corporation from becoming too big too fail; These type of corporations are tantamount to monopolies & have proven over and over that they have no concern for the public or the damage that they have reaped upon all but those in upper management for these same corporations when they get to the point of failure based on poor financial management. Each occurrence has cost Americans billions of dollars in recovery costs, wage/salary losses, pension losses, & insurance losses. They are in fact one of the biggest reasons that our government has undertaken such a huge deficit. When a Corporation makes that kind of profit and grows that large, they are in fact overcharging the consumer, so why shouldn't the consumer be reimbursed? Forcing spinoffs/selloffs will create more competition & help to control profiteering. It amazes me to hear the GOP and it's lunatic fringe supporters when they blame the government for these problems and refuse to support legislation enabling regulations to prevent this from reoccurring or allow our government to recoup some of the people's money that it has cost us as a result of these Corporate”

“It seems pretty obvious with the SCOTUS having decided to rehear this case proves that the Conservative Majority is Politically motivated to strike down the current laws in hopes that it will ultimately return power to the GOP and effectively tilt the SCOTUS even further to the right for decades to come, if not at least a hundred years or more.
The Conservatives currently seated on the SCOTUS have proven time and again that Justice For All will be set aside in favor of Conservative Political and Corporate Interests. To hell with the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution if it will further empower their Ultra Conservative Peers. The Illegal practices & policies of the Bush/Cheney Administration now being brought to light fully proves that the Conservatives of the SCOTUS have been continuously deciding against the truth & rights of every other average American Citizen and will continue to decide in favor of those practices & policies, no matter how unlawful they were/are”

“I have to give credit to TR for staying past the allotted time for the Q&A with Rachel. Most of his fellow minions under Bush/Cheney won't even go on her show. Whether you like her or not, or agree with her liberal beliefs, she strives to get to the truth of the story. She has done a great job since taking her place on MSNBC & really is one of the best interviewers out there.
Great Job Rachel, & keep up the great work.
You and Al Franken are really under appreciated.”

“The judicial system in Texas did not make a "mistake" as this article implies. It is prosecutorial injustice that put this man to death. The facts were brought to light prior to his execution, yet the Texas Judicial system chose to ignore the facts & execute an innocent man all in favor of a conviction & another notch on the execution log for Texas archaic system. Is it a coincidence that Texas & Florida both lead the nation in executions, because their former governors are both Bushes? The previous administration in the white House has proven a hundred times over that it will ignore the facts in most any issue in favor of his own beliefs. We have no right to execute anybody, no matter how heinous their crimes.
Just look at what many office holders in the Bush Administration did, yet they have not even spent a minute in jail, never mind being put on Death Row, for the thousands of people they have killed. Their crimes are worse than McVeigh's”

“Representative Conyers, I beg to differ with you slightly regarding who Rove should apologize to. It is every American citizen who is NOT an ultra-conservative whack job that he actually needs to apologize to. He absolutely was heavily involved in the Federal prosecutor scandal, as well as the Valerie Plame scandal, & countless other issues that skirted the Constitution, or were altogether ignoring the Constitution, in favor of any possible opportunity to steer this country toward his ultra-conservative thinking & biased views, which are, I'm happy to say, still, very much in the minority. They may make a lot of noise, but even while armed, they would still be totally obliterated should they actually rise up, as Murdoch's Media empire propogates, with the backing of Rove.”

“BCBS is supposedly a non-profit Health insurance company, yet they pay their executives 10s of millions of dollars per year to make sure that we are denied our benefits. Non-profit just means that they will take all monies left over after they deny us our treatment and give it to a few executives”

“Arianna, I think everyone that is not an ultra right wing-Nut would prefer not to have to be giving all of this money & support to the Banks & Institutions on Wall St. Unfortunately, with deregulation & the laws that were passed that allowed the Banks to get into the Insurance Industry as well as the Insurance Industry to get into the Banking business, they all became "Too Big to Fail". Until these laws are changed, & there are regulations put in place that will actually prevent this type of scenario from being allowed to happen, we are all screwed. We better hope that once this mess on Wall St is resolved, that Congress takes Steps to make those changes & create true regulation, and Break up these companies so that they are running as separate entities doing business solely & uniquely for the product(s) that they were originally opened for. There needs to be a law that forces the breakup/division of any company that begins to reach the point of being "To Big to Fail". I know that many may see this as a form of Socialism, but it is far from it, because Socialism refers to being State Owned/State Run. IT will protect the Taxpayers & create more jobs & ancillary needs that mean money is flowing. Hopefully our Congress will recognize the need for true reform that will fix the problem & ideally prevent future congresses or Executive offices from gutting the laws & regulations that we”

“It was great to hear some civil, knowledgeable, & sensible debate that was based in facts & not ideaolgy or wrongheadedness, when Huffington & Stern were discussing the topic last night. Bachman, what a joke, you should marry Limbaugh, He could really put your useless mouth to good use & then the public would not have to listen to you anymore”

“this is another example of a so called Journalist that fails to live up to the creedo of the "Freedom of the Press" amendment. Once again the people of this nation that would bother to watch this entire interview are left to their own defense when it comes to being protected from Treasonous Leaders such as Dick Cheney. We should expect this, were he being interviewed by the Fox Comedy News Network, but When CNN stoops this low it is shameful. I am an avid viewer of MSNBC, but would flip over to CNN on many newsworthy occasions in order to get a supposed unbiased view as well as mostly honest & articulate thoughts from both sides. This decision to just give Cheney an unfettered opportunity to pretty much lie & continue to spew his treasonous views in order to rewrite history for his own salvation is utterly ridiculous. CNN has decided to follow the same path as CNBC & the SEC.”

“It's shamefully obvious that the journalistic investigations against corporate misdeeds is becoming a thing of the past. The media outlets that we could once rely on to do the research & seek out the truth are now owned by these same corporations, so they do not have the freedom to conduct research or any investigations that may be of detriment to their parent companies. So much as for Freedom of the Press.”

“I don't agree with the Author. The Mortgage Lenders & Wall St ruined the entire financial system with their "Fuzzy Math". It was Greed that caused this Recession/ Depression, & it has damaged every sector of the financial system around the Globe. Why not give most homeowners on the brink of losing their homes the ability to continue to pay their lender(s)? If we can make an affordable monthly mortgage payment, thereby putting capitol into the market, how does it not help the entire system? If Obama & Congress would agree to lower the Mortgage Interest Rate for every Mortgagee not just those on the bubble, wouldn't this be fair for everyone & garner more support? These Financial Houses cannot seem to dig their way out, so why not let Main St get the help & see if they are able to keep their homes & possibly have some money left over at the end of the month? If potential new Homeowners have the ability to purchase a home at the current value & with a lower fixed rate, how does that not help to build capitol in the Financial system. It's all about the flow of money, right? So far there is nothing flowing from the Financial sector down, so it's time to go at it from the other direction. From Main St. UP. When consumers are not getting ripped off by nefarious loan schemes they have the ability to control their own financial well being & spark the”

“Due to California's Geographical location between the Pacific & the Sierra Mountains, they could even be so bold as to Ban, Dismantle &/or refit Coal Burning plants outright & be so aggressive as to do it within 5 years. It is the worst possible source for Energy in that state based on the tons of Carbon emissions it produces. It should not be difficult to replace them with the Renewable energy sources now avaialble, especially where California already leads the way in these energy sources. Why continue to pollute their state any longer than necessary when you have a viable solution. The state should also require all new homes or addition/remodeling permits to require a minimum amount of that home's energy to be produced by self contained renewable energy. Imagine if every homein California had at least one solar panel on their roof top? What if they had the minimum amount of Solar/Wind power on their property to produce enough electricity to charge their electric cars that could be another requirement for every commuter? Is it really that far beyond the Realm? I suspect that most California Residents previously thought that Ed Begley was a nut job, just 5 years ago because of his initiative & foresight, & now they are taking steps in his path to do at least something. I look forward to the day not too many years from now when it is the norm.
Ed, give us some more "Living with Ed" episodes. We love it.”

“As a Conservative Republican & a Billionaire, why are you pushing so hard for the federal government, aka, the Taxpayers to spend all of this money on these initiatives? It seems to me that it wold be against your ideology & philosophy. Are you spending/investing any of your own fortune to see this through? I have no doubt that however this comes to fruition, that you are setting yourself up to make billions from it.
I agree that this nation needs to take more action to wean itself from Foreign Oil, & should invest much more toward renewable energy, & the Pickens Plan looks like a very well thought out plan. as a matter of fact I am a member of the Pickens Army & signed on early in the plan. I am just Leary of your ulterior motives, as I have pointed out, based on your past methods.”

“Every homeowner with a mortgage that has seen their home's value decrease over the last couple of years needs to be included in this solution, so it is fair. The Simplest way to do it is as put forward by a Nevada Congressman whom is even a Republican, that suggested a 4% cap on all mortgages new & old. This would allow most of those on the brink of foreclosure to be able to afford staying in their homes, & it can go a bit further by blocking any foreclosure where the homeowner can prove that they have the ability to make thoe new payment going forward, without having to make up the past due payment up front, but adding it to the end of the loan. I don't even think it would be necessary to lower the principal owed on these existing mortgages as a way of a "give back" from the homeowner to the lenders. The Lenders lower & lock all mortgage rates at 4%, & existing homeowners pay the new rate & but will still pay the full balance existing at the new rate. It will save most homeowners several hundred dollars a month going forward but will still pay back the lenders the original amount owed.”

“I hate protectionism, & am Pro-NAFTA however, when you look at the policies of the past decade or so, & how the U.S. has been shafted by the Asian Markets, we have to take a stand. If it causes some hardship while the Asian Countries attempt to fight us over this. Eventually we will see a fairer Marketplace that will be better for America & the World economy as a whole. Right now, every thing to do with international trade is ANTI_American. It needs to be seriously tweaked but not eliminated. NAFTA is the right premise, but again, it's regulations were clearly lacking & unfortunately, our US Corparations took advantage of lax rules to nearly ruin it's intent. One of the best goals of NAFTA was to give Mexico & other parts of Latin america the opportunity to gain greater economic & Ecological Gains amongst North America, so it could raise the lifestyles of it's peoples as a whole. The Corporate Greed once again reared it's ugly head. Regulations must be tightened in all trade agreements, & Corporate Greed must be punished, as it all lead to the financial collapse of Wall St & the Financial industry here & abroad.”

“Boy did he hit this on the head. When you think about three American Oil Companies garnering over 100billion dollars in profits over the past 2 years, & then the Wall St. CEOs stealing other people's money to the tune of another 50 billion dollars while their companies Failed, it is no wonder this nation & the world are in such a dire state of affairs. Freeze the assets of all of them. They all conspired to sidestep regulations or lobbied to eliminate the regulations that had been in place to prevent these very problems from taking hold. Don't blame Barney Frank for the Mortgage Mess... He had nothing to do with the predatory lending practices that were became a normal part of the business & greed of the mortgaage brokers & lending institutions. any one that blames him or any other legislator that was pushing for fair lending to more working families does not have a clue as to what went wrong with the housing market.”

“Get the Facts out. Make sure that no President's administration is able to do this to our citizens again. Investigate the practices of the DOJ, especially, the propensity of Alberto Gonzales to hire so many Christian Right wing Idealogues from Pat Robertson's phony Law School & investigate ths school itself for the shortfalls it has & close it if possible.”

“T. Boone, As a member of the Pickens Plan I agree with the problem & your goals discussed here. I also believe that You, as a billionaire Oil Man/Investor, could do more, especially if you could recruit a platoon of other wealthy friends & investors. Apparently the industry that is developing the newly required battery technology for the Hybrid/electric powered vehicles is on the brink of creating a viable energy storing, & space saving Battery System to power our vehicles. This would go much further toward not only weaning ourselves from dependence on foreign oil, but would significantly advance the goals of the American Auto Industry to meet & definitely exceed the Fuel Economy standards that are necessary for this nation's future, as well as a much brighter future for the American Automobile industry.”
