What’s on your mind this morning. Here’s your chance to bounce some of your ideas off all of us — or just vent. In 3, 2, 1…go.

What’s on your mind this morning. Here’s your chance to bounce some of your ideas off all of us — or just vent. In 3, 2, 1…go.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Alisyn,
I sent two emails to Friends. However, I imagine that they will end up in the digital bit bucket, therefore I am providing them to the AC blog.
Email #1:
Hillary should not be allowed near table ware. She has a record of throwing plates, ashtrays, lamps. Why would Bob Evans open the company up to litigation by giving her access to China? Further, Hillary fits the profile for tainting food with hair.
She will have to look at other career opportunities if her present gig does not work out.
Bill
P.S. If she does take the Bob Evans gig, I am afraid Alisyn that you have just signed yourself up for training Hillary. I still do not understand how such a petite woman does all the heavy lifting of busing.
Email #2
I am shocked, shocked that you would insult the memory of Larry Fine by associating Bill’s mug with Larry!
YOU MORONS! I resemble that remark.
Why I oughta…
Bill
No disrespect meant to one of the Stooges! And, yes, I will happily train Hillary to wait tables, should her career trajectory actually head there.
What’s up with the hearts?
Which ones?
Tell Gretchen:
Leap days, technically known as intercalary days, are calendar corrections. Despite what you have been taught, there are not 365 days in a year. There are precisely 365.2425 days, which means we gain a day every four years. An exception: Century years cannot be leap years unless they are evenly divisible by 400.
Can somebody hand me a calculator?

Oh, ok, I understand better now.
Alisyn:
You are my favorite on the show, you are always upbeat and seem to really love what you are doing. I have watched Fox and Friends from the start but my question is, When is Fox going HD, Cnn is HD and so is Fox Business. When watching a Presidential speech etc, I am forced to turn to the other channels for HD and then back for comments. Fox News needs to make the switch….
We feel your pain! We’re waiting with bated breath too. I’m told soon…
Alisyn,
Happy Friday!
What is the deal with that giant screen? When you were interviewing Col. Hunt this morning I kept expecting him to say, “I am the great and powerful OZ!”
Just kinda freaky there…
Have a terrific weekend.
BA
We were experimenting. Some people loved it. Some, like you, thought the proportions were weird.
Good Morning & Happy Leap Year!
What’s on my mind? COFFEE!
The ketchup stuff so early this morning kind of left me queasy, but strangely craving a strong Bloody Mary….
Morning Ms. Alisyn,
Just a quick vent; I am sick of hearing how “surprising” it is that Obama has taken the lead over Hillary. It really isn’t all that. Anyone that thought that even a Clinton was going to overcome a 50% negative rating, much of it from her own party, wasn’t very bright to begin with.
Enjoy your weekend.
chas
Tell Gretchen that leap year is determined from one complete revolution of the sun being 365and 1/4 days. Therefore every four years we have to add one day to our calendar to accommodate for the 1/4 day per year. There is NOTHING ANYWHERE having anything to do with eight years in the leap year formula.
If drinking ketchup (or is it catsup?) a good chaser is vodka, worchestshire sauce and tobasco. (Well, not for Miley since she is under age.)
Alisyn, this morning you were talking about how it seemed wrong that the Presidental candidates were blowing through 100’s of millions of dollars in just a few months.
It is all part of the election process to show that they will be qualified to be President and head of the federal gov’t where they will be required to blow thru 100s of Billions of dollars in a few months. If they can’t waste other people’s money now how do we know for sure they can waste our tax dollars once elected?
Excellent point. It good practice for future squandering.
Hey you guys & gals of Fox, I watch you every morning before taking my teenage daughter to highschool. Now it’s time you listen to my show heheheheh every Wednesday & Friday 10:00 A.M. est. to 2:00 P.M. est. on http://www.wildliferadio.com please tune in because I’m doing something nobody else is doing on the Internet!
This is not a normal radio show folks lol every Sunday I have bands playing on my show here is a link for you to watch on my personal youtube page! Please check it out and let me know you have read this email.

Alisyn,
That shot of the buffet with Angelina Jolie was your typical military “Chow Line”.
You guys are great, I watch everyday at 4 am in Montana.
BTW, your husband is a lucky man. How does he cope with all the adulation you receive? Does he get irritated and scold people with remarks like “Don’t tell her that! Her head is big enough! OMG, I won’t hear the end of this for a week!”
Trust me, amidst three toddlers’ tantrums, there’s not a lot of adulation going on at home.
On a serious note. Its great all the friends thank the troops for the job they are doing overseas. I have been wondering would any of the friends join the military and do the same.
Keep in mind a lot of those troops are married man and woman with families.
That story on the hair in the steak was one of the grossest things I have ever heard! I am just wondering though, is three years in prison a little excessive?
I’m still grossed out
Alison, you should be the main anchor woman. you are much smarter and prettier. love ya
Prettier than Steve?
As the “run for the White House” begins to get more heated, will the name Vince Foster come into the discussions???
How about letting your technicians take some of the greetings you are recording of your viewers doing an introductions of Fox and Friends and then putting them in one of the sidebars of the blog so that we can listen to them Alisyn and vote on the ones we think are the are best That way everyone gets to compete with each other. Then feature the top five winners each day for a week in decending order 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 on the show.
Love the idea! Let me ask Toba
Here is the answer on leap year.
Which years are leap years?
In the Gregorian calendar, the calendar used by most modern countries, the following three criteria determine which years will be leap years:
Every year that is divisible by four is a leap year;
of those years, if it can be divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year, unless
the year is divisible by 400. Then it is a leap year.
According to the above criteria, that means that years 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300 and 2500 are NOT leap years, while year 2000 and 2400 are leap years.
It is interesting to note that 2000 was somewhat special as it was the first instance when the third criterion was used in most parts of the world
Alisyn I do think Steve and Mr Sunshine from Jimmy Dean need to run DNA tests to make sure one wasn’t cloned.
Last thing on Brian dancing the YMCA. Please ask him if he thought he was the Y that he was third in line….bad spelling….dyslexia?

Good Morning Ali,
With all the weather specialists now calling this year one of the coldest in years.. and the drop in temperature this year is the largest drop in temps around the world in the last 100 years and the ice up North has increased and so on.. Would you please as “Mr. Panic for money” or Al Gore to debate one of the actual scientist about his call of global warming… There is reports from 4 of the most important scientist studing the world climate saying with the lack of sun spot activity we might actually be entering another small ice age.. Like the one that started to end in the year 1830.
Oh,,,, and have him give back all his bogas awards he’s received over the last few years working him self into a sweat talking and his bogus claim of the death of the world by warming climates… What a sham! He has had several scientist challenge him to debate but he won’t.. He turns down any debate from scientist who know what they are talking about!
Thanks,
Will @Ca
Alison,
Maybe you, yourself, could show us on television on how to install webcams throughout our house to ensure the safety of our child. Since you are never home – always at work, the gym or dining out, I would think that you must be very experienced with the use of these webcams to watch the actions of your baby sitter with your three “orphaned” children.
Ted
Ted, I’m detecting some hostility. Perhaps YOU should get out more. And let me know how it is — I’ve rarely “dined out” away from my children in three years.
I can’t understand how people are in such a hizzy about Obama Hussein. He has no experience!
Bosses at FNC, please put Alisyn on the weekend f&f. I like Page and am not criticizing her, but Alisyn lights up the room and I guarantee ratings would go up.
Bosses at FNC, please don’t. I need a couple days off a week!
Leap year is to keep the years even. First guess there are 365 and one-forth days in a year, so every four years add a day. Second guess there are 365 and 1/4 + 1/5 days in a year so every 100 years skip leap year. There are even more rules to keep years right. The reason is the church must keep Easter on same day all other days drift but Easter is ment to be on the very day Christ rose from the dead.
Alison,
I forgot to leave a P.S.
I wonder if Andy Reid now wishes he had spent some more time with his kids.
Ted
Ted,
Do you have kids? Should you be caring for them instead of blogging?
In looking at the election, we should not be surprised by the swell of Americans who are swarming to the canidacy of Barack Obama. Look at the parallel of one of the most popular speakers in America today. Joel Osteen the powerful preacher in Houston Texas has been traveling all over America attracting tens of thousands of people to his message, one of kindness, feel good advise, refusing to talk about the consequenses of sin, not telling people how to live there lives. Joel Osteen does not get rattled, smiles in the face of his enemies, and promises a “better day”. This is all well and good, but his message leaves out how people have to change to make it happen, he does not point out the sin and it’s consequences. I personally like Joel and the influence he is having on bringing people to God, but I wish he would speak on the change that a walk with God requires, it is not about feeling good with the way we live our lives, turning our heads and ignoring the root of our problems.
Barack Obama has taken a page from this type of influential speaking.
People in America do not want to be accountable. They all want someone else to fix things, not having to worry about the consequences, and to not be told how to live. They like positive feel good messages, because they feel overworked and over stressed and that they are “owed something”. They want to live in a “fairy tail” where all will be happy ever after, they want positive messages without negative consequences.
Enjoy your show from Severna Park, Maryland every weekday morning. My wife and I – and Gracie (Yellow lab pup) all watch beginning at 6 a.m.
Suggestion: During this election season, why not have a report from your favorite eating place in your hometown – to get a pulse on the election.
Keep up the great work!
All of you on the show certainly practice the 5 P’s – Prior planning prevents poor performance.
All the best, Joe R. Severna Park, MD
loved the show today…always enjoy your upbeat attitude….
Both Gretchen and you are weariing hearts on your necklaces. Yours is very sparkly. I have a list of women that expect presents once in a while and that is a winner. Where did it come from?
Mine is from a designer named, if I’m not mistaken, Chiarella. I think her stuff can be found pretty readily at malls.
I have a 16 yr old that loves ketchup so much he wears a t-shirt “I put ketchup on my ketchup.”
He eats ketchup on:
Any meat
Spaghetti (like your friends!)
Brea
The only thing he doesn’t eat it on, is vegatables and his salads.
Great slogan
when are we going to begin to hear the tough questions about Obama?
Is he Muslim?
will he swear allegience to the flag of the United States?
will he use a Bible for his oath?
I think all those questions have been asked. I quick google search will reveal the answers.
HEY Don’t touch that toad! You’ll get warts!
Jeff Corwyn is sooooooo dreamy …..::::sigh::::
I was born Feb. 29, 1948 … I’m 15/60 today …. I’ll be your boy-toy, or your man ( heh heh heh)
Re: The guest that said schools are raising males to be “wimps”.
I don’t know if I agree with his point of view or not. I was too busy being repulsed by his obnoxiousness to hear his argument.
“NO, NO. YOU HAVE TO LET ME TALK!!”
He didn’t contribute anything to the discussion.
Heard you on XM radio this morning discussing leap year. Did you find out how it works? If not, here’s what my desk calendar says…
Earth circles the sun in exactly 365.242199 days (not 365.25). To make up for the indiscrepancy, leap year is skipped every three out of four century years not divisible by 400..so 2000 was a leap year, but 1900, 1800, and 1700 weren’t.
I did not know this. Anyway, you’re all awesome, but vote for Hillary!
no one asked about the cherry???? what happened with the cherry , alisyn? what did you do with the cherry? i want to know about the cherry! tell us.
Let’s put it this way: it was tame enough to tell a priest. Of course the priest did recommend not repeating it aloud.
ALISYN;

T.G.I.F.
Good Morning Alisyn,
As a contractor, I don’t believe that the general population realize how tough the economy is getting. Our work has decreased to almost nothing, Fuel prices have increased to the point of shutting us down, Insurance rates have went up, and no one will pay the higher cost to get projects done. I have always been an optimst, but I see a really bad signs that tell me we are in for some really bad times ahead. Oh well, Let me lighten it up a bit, and tell you I appreciate the Job you and your fellow newscasters do. You are a joy to watch, and I appreciate it when our service men and women are given the true recognition they deserve, for being the Hero’s they are. Have a Great Day!
Ralph
Re: Col. Hunt
Thank heavens FNC isn’t broadcast in HD yet…. That huge talking head would have given me nightmares!
Does he use Biore© strips? lol
TGIF!!!!!
Sorry, I’m not thinking yet and that is the best I could come up with so friggin early in the morning….
Why is — necessary? You (Alyson) are much smarter, funnier, and prettier.
More Alyson! Less — !
Hey Christopher,
You broke the rules — so I had to censor you.
Ted,
Rule #1 : Don’t mess with Alisyn; it’s her blog.
Rule #2 : See Rule #1
P.S.
Alison’s children are well cared for. She has got “people!”
Kids don’t want people, they want parents. There’s really no “off-duty” sign at home.

Every year that is divisible by four is a leap year;

I am convinced Prince Harry is wearing a cap with a subdued American Flag. Why? Grandmom will have something to say about that.
I have heard the word “ginormous” a few times lately, once on a TV commercial. Is this a real word?? Do I need to replace my signed copy of Webster’s Dictionary?
Good morning Alisyn:
While I think Bill’s comments about your “husband being lucky” are true, in my opinion, we are ALL fortunate to have the opportunity to watch you every morning at 6:00 a.m. I am confident that I speak for most everyone, in that you are “tops” in your career, and a breath of fresh air for us….not some dumb Anchor who has no personality, charisma or style. Keep up the great work~
p.s. You and Steve work extremely well together!
Thanks Leslie!
Hi Allisyn. You are great and I love watching you every morning. My question to you is who decides what you will wear on the show? I love your outfits and PS– You shoes are awesome!
I decide — with a lot of help from the experts
One more thought..
Jeff Corwin and Brian; twins separated at birth???
Do I hear a Fox News Alert?
Alisyn, intelligent & sexy could not have a better representative than you! And THAT’S the breaking news!
Hi, Alisyn!
Interesting that Prince Harry is wearing a cap with a US flag. What’s the story? Uniform? Souvenir? Political Comment? Sign of Support?
I know Hillary LENT her campaign 5 million. Is it true that she wants to be repaid with interest???
Hillary can’t seem to run her campaign, how does she expect to run the country!!!!! BTW Alisyn, you are a pleasure to watch every morning….
A political strategist close to Hillary’s campaign told me that’s not true.
I mean the interest part. The pleasure part still being investigated.
Allie,
Where is the Cherry story from the Bachelorette Party?
Also what happened to the Weekend crew of Paige, Greg and Kelly?
Frank
All remain a mystery
Will@CA, I think you are on to something. I live on the Space Coast of FL and had frost on the roof this morning. I say this is GOD showing Al that he knows nothing and GOD knows and is control of everything!
Al’s nothing but hot air in a BIG head!
Tell Geraldo we need LEGAL IMMIGRATION. I came to this country 40 years ago LEGALLY. I would not read his book if he gave it to me. He is a COMMUNIST!!!!! Oh no I may use it to light my fire place
It is my thought that all Presidential canidates should automatically loose what ever political position they have inorder to run for president. That way they show that they are not just playing the American people for sucker’s! Let’s do a gut check!
I think the comment by John about thanking the troops was right on. But don’t forget the spouses. Next time you see a spouse thank her also. Better yet, if she is a neighbor, cut her grass, or take the kids for ice cream. They really appreciate it.
Frank
Good Morning~Fox and Friends! Alisyn, tell Steve that being a young female in My 20’s I have a pistol permit, to carry a gun for self protection, in Alabama. Girls My age call it~”Packing Heat”! LOL I Love the show but, TGIF!…..
I think it was yesterday, there was a story about Senator Robert Bird in the hospital, and you repeatedly said he was third in line for the presidency — actaully, isn’t Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, third? Robert Bird, as President of the Senate, is fourth.
Chris Nordstrom

Alisyn,
Just wanted to let you all know,Fox and Friends is our wake up alarm. It is my favorite show on tv. You guys really are more like friends than personalities, but deliver the news in a “real” way.Keep up the great work !
Thanks Richie!
Good Morning Alisyn:)
Im so sick of race and gender, gender and race, rising to such a predominance in the Presidential race. We need someone thats not a hollywood prince or running on or from the coat tails of a previous President. We also need someone that hasnt made a living on Government all his or her life. This to me is wrong. Lifers in Goverment is an abuse of the system and should have never been allowed. We would get more experience and better representation from real people with real work ethics. Can you imagine not showing up for work as much as Obama and still keeping your job or the rest of congress for that matter.
Geraldo, good grief, ok we understand he’s hispanic,we get it OK, a book dedicated to excepting “illegal” immagration. I dont want to see anyone mistreated no matter where they are from but the people hiring the “illegals” are the real problem. A fence is rediculous. The real fence should be holding the ones hiring them and giving reason to take such a dangerous risk. I cant blame the “illegals” wanting better for their families. They arent the criminals, buisnesses that hire them are.
Hey, Alisyn
Before Geraldo leaves the building, can you let him know that Barack Obama is not black. He is black AND white. I sent an email, but didn’t know if it would make it to the foxandfriends email, so I’m trying my hand here as well. The point I made is that Tiger Woods, Mariah Carey, Halle Berry…are ALL bi-racial. My question is…why does the media deny one half of these folks’ heritage.
I’ll admit that this is a sensitive topic for me, because I am black and my wife is white. But as a matter of decency, we are teaching our children that should they ever become public figures, they should be proud of BOTH heritages, not just one.
Can we start being more MC (morally correct) than PC (politically correct) is this country?
*steps down from soapbox*
Thanks for letting me rant. My wife and I love your show.
Sincerely,
DT
Hussein O’Bama for President!
Call me crazy but my grandfather and before would fall out to even to know this country would consider a man of O’Bama’s decent and background for President. Call it what you want folks with “his name” are killing American’s period. Can he be trusted? Seriously!
Help me understand Alisyn?
Perhaps the country has advanced since your grandfather’s time.
For a complete Leap Year explaination see:
http://www.timeanddate.com/date/leapyear.html
Geraldo is pretty confused. If, on a future date certain, Americans were absolutely, positively unable to hire illegal aliens, those 12 million illegal aliens Geraldo mentioned would have no reason to be here and they would–given the following incentive–voluntarily return home.
Grant them amnesty for their illegal U.S. presence provided that they return home, acquire a passport, pass health and criminal background checks, and sign up for existing temporary worker visa programs.
Those who comply should be welcomed back as ‘temporary workers’, not immigrants. Those who cannot obtain a passport or pass required health and criminal background checks need to stay home until they can rectify the problem.
We have no obligation to provide employment to foreign laborers who cannot meet those three requirements.
Thanks.
Ally, why don’t you just sit on top of Steve and Brian. You over talk everyone like you are the only one that knows anything. You are ruining the Foxs and Friends show You are a camera hog.
Um, because that wouldn’t be comfortable.
WHERE’S MY PREVIOUS COMMENT?
I don’t know. Where’d you last see it?
Where is Paige? I love both of you. You are both so full of energy and fun.
Glad to see Kelly Wright gone from F&F Weekends and Ainsley is a beautiful girl but where is Paige? Bring Paige back!!!!!!!
What’s the big deal with Geraldo being on F&F so often during the weekdays? Is that your recent expert. You all ask him his opinion on just about everything, from Illegal Immigration, to dumbasses like Molly Cypress, or whatever her name is, drinking Ketchup. Is he someone I should be listening to? Is he going to start signing my checks, paying my rent, paying my electric bill, etc?
He says the Minutemen are racists, well what is he, because he’s an Hispanic (and I’m keeping it clean) he is in favor of opening the border to anyone from Latin AMerica come prancing willy nilly into our country. Personally, I would like to see him be the leader of the mass march back across the border with an M16 aimed at his head! CAN HIM! You would have a lot better show if we didn’t have to see Geraldo! If he is so good why didn’t his radio show on Fox make it?
Gary T
San Antonio
PS: And if Geraldo doesn’t like my comments then tell him to come on down here and we’ll go ten rounds with him about as fast as he can stand up!
Let me ask Geraldo if he wants to start paying your electric bill. What’s in it for him?
Alisyn:
I never did find out what you and your friends do with a cherry at bachelorette parties? Did you reveal it in your blog yesterday and I missed it, or did you just sort of let it die away?
Frank
The priest advised against it.
Ali, why does it take so long for our blog entries to post on your blog? If I blog on another FOX member’s blog it posts immediately – yours takes up to 10 minutes or more at times. Oh wait….I think I know the answer…..it’s because you or someone else has to proof the entries before they post because you have so many “dirty old guys” posting. ha ha!
Seriously though, is that why?
It’s probably because I’m preoccupied with my job of editing and reading the news. I hate when work gets in the way of our fun.
Alisyn,
What is email address for the “question of the day?” Can’t find it on website.
Thanks in advance,
David
Questions: What’s happened to The Big Show? Where are Gibson and Nauert? And shouldn’t an announcement or explanation about them be online?
Thanks!
BLAZE
Ali,
I would love to see someone seriously challenge the oil companies on Oil Prices vs Gas Prices, (price to produce one gallon of gas compared to oil prices now), prior to Katrina. If im not mistaken we had almost 130 or more refinneries and now we are down to less than a third of that. All we hear is the bought and paid for mouths for big oil stating we need to build more refinneries when the truth is they have volutarily shut down 2/3rds of them. They have no incentives to build more because, unlike the little man that gets jail time and fines gouging for lifes essentials, the oil companies are getting by with that and in my opinion, price fixing. The so called economy experts blame the oil prices on the weak dollar when the oil prices are causing the dollar to be weak through energy cost to maintain our way of life. Its a catch 22 situation and the people are stuck in the middle while oil profiteers make billions. The Goverment needs to address its refusal to allow patents bought out by big oil to hit the market and also lighten up on patent approval of new technology. I do understand there are inventions that are out there that would absolutely shut down big oil and a large percentage or revenue generated by oil. We will probably never see it though. OK now ive vented, wheres my coffee lol.
Ali,
We wake up with you every morning and “you’se” guys have been like family for the past several years…Enough of that…Hey, a friend of mine forwarded this video link this AM (http://www.dotsub.com/films/moredemands/index.php?autostart=true&language_setting=en_1618)
and if you haven’t seen it yet, its worth a look. Sounds like a Brit with his head put on straight.
Thanks to Steve and Brian for the laughs and insight…you work with a couple wingnuts…the best kind!
Thanks,
Tom Iradi
Matthews, NC (by way of North Jersey)
Good Monring…….
Did I miss the explanation of wehat the “Cherry Tradition” was from yesterday?
No you didn’t. Steve thought it was really tame but the priest said “Jeepers.” So, I went with the priest.
Alisyn,
I am going to guess you did not grow up in a home that watched The 3 Stooges.
I grew up in Dallas, Texas and after school every day my brother and I would turn on “Icky Twerp and the Slam Bang Theater.” (I do not believe Icky and Harold Ickes are related.)
Any way, that is where we learned the eye gouge, the nostril hook, and the occasional mallet to the head. We weren’t the only ones – our neighborhood friends also went to school in the Slam Bang Theater.
BTW, we also watched violence in cartoons – Tom & Jerry, Bugs & Daffy etc. Not one turned out to be a serial killer or a criminal. No eyes poked out (one became very adept at the vertical hand block).
I realized that you may need Steve, Brian, or one of the crew to help you with the context of my first message. You are not morons, although I have read some moronic comments on the blog.
Love F&F.
Bill
P.S. Watch some Stooges, practice your gouges, hooks, then try them on the boys on the set.
Hi Alisyn,
Im glad we been talking about Barack Hussein Obamas full name this week,we accomplish a lot,the American people need to know more about his Muslim back ground,now we need to know why he converted to Christanity, and why he belongs to one of the most racist churchs in America,I have nothing against Muslims people,you just need to know more about this man before you go vote for a person you know nothing about, he is a Presidential Candidate and he needs to answer a lot of questions about him self and the people he is connected with,lets look at what he has done in three years in the senate,I still cant believe tha Democratics are backing a man with no experience, we know every thing about Clinton and McCian,what about obama.

Alisyn, why isn’t FOX covering the Dickie Scrugg’s bribery case in Mississippi? Trent Lott’s brother-in-law, bribing federal judges, millions of dollars… pretty interesting stuff. I would have thought you guys would be all over it.
Good Morning to you all, first time I have participtated in a blog, and enjoy the show, will we see or hear about Megan wedding and if Brian consumes too much and dances on the tables?
Response to TED………….
How dare you judge Alisyn and her children, when you don’t have the facts? I am a mother just like Alisyn, and judging by all of her glowing comments about her beloved children, you can bet she is a GREAT career mom. She is juggling a lot of fronts as her success and career sky-rocket, perhaps you are just too envious of her. Back off and leave this blog to those of us with positive, upbeat supportive attitudes……..or: CHANGE THE CHANNEL~
Thanks for gettin’ my back, Leslie! Power to Moms!
Hillary has put Bill on a Short leash because he likes to talk about himself more than her…Example:
In a Campaign stop in Iowa on the 28th of November Former President Bill Clinton in his 50 minute speech mentioned “I” 94 for times and his wife, the candidate only 7 times….So I got to thinking .

Alisyn: I LOVE the necklace!!! Where did you get it. I love watching you, you should do the show all morning long, you make my day!
Thanks Cheri! If memory serves correctly, the necklace is by a designer named Chiarella — but it is about five years old.
Alisyn,
On the ASS today Gretchen said you all would be on Sunday. Is that right? Why?
Surely they don’t need you all to come in and do the Sunday show because of the primaries on Tuesday.
Indeed they do. And stop calling me Surely.
BTW — I’ll be hosting the 9-11 show with Bill Hemmer.
alisyn, you are a very attractive woman with a very nice shape. But is it necessary for us to have to watch you play to the camera with your posed stance?? This isn’t “Project Runway”.
You’re right it isn’t. It’s America’s Next Top Model.
Last one, really. Just in case this didn’t get through the email…
For real science and news that Al Gore doesn’t want you to know, check the website for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. Unbiased news by the scientists Al Gore claim don’t exist- because they and their findings disagree with his agenda.

You should have the spokesman, E. Calvin Beisner on for an interview. Level-headed, well-spoken, he’s the man to clearly speak to the issues. He has addressed Congress and the Vatican on the science against global warming.
Thanks for starting my morning right!
this was discussed on fox and friends this morning (leap year) and according to “google” . . . “This page provides the history of the leap year and the purpose it serves.
February 29, 2008
The year 2008 is a leap year. If you look at a 2008 calendar, you will see that February has five Fridays–the month begins and ends on a Friday. Between the years 1904 and 2096, leap years that share the same day of week for each date repeat only every 28 years. The most recent year in which February comprised five Fridays was in 1980, and the next occurrence will be in 2036. February 29, the leap day, has been associated with age-old traditions, superstitions and folklore.
What is a leap year?
A leap year is a year in which one extra day has been inserted, or intercalated, at the end of February. A leap year consists of 366 days, whereas other years, called common years, have 365 days.
Which years are leap years?
In the Gregorian calendar, the calendar used by most modern countries, the following three criteria determine which years will be leap years:
Every year that is divisible by four is a leap year;
of those years, if it can be divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year, unless
the year is divisible by 400. Then it is a leap year.
According to the above criteria, that means that years 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300 and 2500 are NOT leap years, while year 2000 and 2400 are leap years.”
you all are great alsyn. keep up the good work
Who knew people had so much to say about Leap Year? Kinda make ya wish it came around every year. Or not.
Alyson, I can’t find the weekend alkaline diet posted on the website. Looked under health section. Can you post the link to the alkaline diet please?
Alisyn,
Would you please inform your cohorts that they, Steve and Geraldo, have broken some serious gun rules on television. I love your show but this is irresponsible.
I’ll give you some examples:
Always treat a firearm as if it were loaded.
Always point a firearm in a safe direction. (The un PC version of this rule is never point a gun at anyone you do not intend to kill)
I know that the Ruby gun is most likely unloaded, I can only assume that it was checked and rechecked.
My point is this. This is how and why people die accidentally from guns. Breaking these rules is stupid and totally unnecessary and your show broad-casted it on television.
My hat is off to Gretchen for speaking up about the gun pointed at her.
Thank you Gretchen
ALISYN;
DURING THE CHEST (MANO UN MANO) OF STEVE AND BRYON I REMEMBERD THE SHOW WHERE
BRYON GAVE HIS FAMOUS “SPORTS BUTT SLAP” TO YOU.DID IT EVER MAKE IT TO HUMAN
RESORCES?I HOPE NOT,HE’S USELY A GOOD BOY.
Alisyn,
Love the show – love you!
I tuned in this morning at the tail end of the interview with the lady (something Graf?) talking about balancing your ph… I can’t find any more about the lady or her book on your website. Where can I get more info?
Thanks!
Soooo, what kind of decorations do we put up for Leap Year? Why isn’t it a mandatory national holiday when it falls on a Friday? Will there be any parades today? So far I am not all that thrilled about this special day! Pass the ketchup……
Alisyn: This is kinda long but is about a Bachelor Party I set up for my College Pal, Bill (his 2nd marriage). It was at a hotel in Daytona Beach. Lots of Bill’s business & personal friends, along with Bill’s Dad (retired Navy Commander) and his future Father-In-Law (an Alcoa Exec.) were all there. Bill was depressed ‘cuz none of his college buddies could come. BUT…3 of us flew in secretly.
THE SET-UP: All (’cept the 3 from “MSU”) were in a big suite at the hotel (1st floor). Lotz O’Drinks but little else. Kinda boring as NOBODY knew what was gonna happen. Bill’s V-P (female) had hired 2 “exotic dancers”.
THE PREP: Of the college pals…one of “us” was a Jewish Dentist from VA. He was always in terrific shape…but was short. The “other two” worked hard for about a month to “buff up”. One of the “two” was a retired Navy Officer (he’d crashed his chopper!)…and the other was “me” (a Marketing Dweeb).
We met the “girls” in the lobby and we were ready to go!
THE EVENT:
First, the Dentist pounded on the door. He was wearing a mask and barged in and proceeded to “strip to a speedo”. I didn’t see the reaction but heard later that everyone was totally grossed out and thought that Bill might be gay?!?! The Dentist removed his mask and surprised Bill! At least one MSU guy came!!
Then…The Chopper Pilot and I pounded on the door. We were wearing “bank robbery masks (bags with holes)” and were shirtless, were oiled and wearing leather vests. We got very belligerent with everyone and “explained the rules”. When anyone didn’t take us seriously…we SAT THEM DOWN and made it clear what damage we’d do to them when our “girls” arrived (if they violated OUR rules). Suddenly, the room got very somber and there was some terror in some eyes.
We then permitted the “girls” to come in and all HxLL broke loose. But…we continued to keep control in a most offensive way. Then…we removed our masks. Only Bill knew us and was so excited he nearly fainted. The group all (finally caught on) and it was a great night.
THE UNEXPECTED: Late in the party…we spied some poor soul sitting outside in a hot tub…alone! Just a drink to be his friend. So, the Chopper Pilot and I went out and got in the tub with him (in our clothes) and gave him a drink. We congratulated him and told him that he’d won the hotel’s special prize and to wait right there.
We then got the “girls” and out they came (wearing smiles)! They got in the tub and this guy was sure he was (fianlly) “living the dream”. We waited until his fantasies were almost at the boiling point. We then went back…apologized…told him there was a mix-up and that the REAL winner was in a different room. We took the girls and departed…but we watched through the window. The “victim” stayed in the pool for about 15+ minutes before he got out…wearing a dazed look…and departed.
Always wondered if he shared his ’story” with the folks “back in the office”?
I have the whole thing on slides!
This is disturbing on so many levels.
Leave Alisyn ALONE!!!! whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Alisyn,
Ok I am going to try and post again. The last three times that I have posted previously did not get published. I guess maybe it was because I was referring to your beautiful legs to much I just don’t know.
Anyway, I am going to use this oppurtunity to vent a bit.
1) Problem #1 in America, people are to naive and have forgotten to think for themselves. Most Americans pride themselves on being opinionated and out spoken, but in essence most of Americans fall for whatever they hear on T.V.
2) Problem #2. Why would anyone in their right mind vote for any of the current presidential candidates. According to the news we basically have three people left to run for presidency, atleast these are the three that are getting all the media coverage. What happened to all the other candidates? I mean think about it, the politicians that received the most media coverage are the candidates the we basically have left to choose from. I believe that the media should stay out of the election process or atleast by law be required to give each candidate the same amount of coverage and air time. Like I said in the comment above people only know what they see on T.V. If you are truely interested in a presidential candidate then maybe people should get out more and actually go to the conventions or to the debates instead of watching what the media has to say about them. If for example your watch FOX then chances are you are republican and will more than likely see more coverage concerning that party. IF you watch CNN chances are you are a democrat and will receive more coverage for that party. All I am saying is people need to get their noses out of the TV and get out a bit more and start to think for themselves versus what the media keeps force feeding them.
3) Problem #3—Illegal immigrants in this country. I am like most the above posters in the fact that I can not blame a man for wanting to come to this country to better himself and to support his family. I can however blame the people that hire them. We should institute very strict laws governing those that hire illegal immigrants. I am talking like the death penalty or life in prison, I believe that maybe this would deter alot of employers from hiring illigals.
4) Problem #4- People have become weak in today’s society. What ever happpened to public executions? What ever happened to spanking your children and making them learning respect for their elders? Part of today’s problems stem from people not raising their children correctly. I do not believe in beating a child, but I am a firm believer in giving them a good spanking and making them mind. If people were raising their children how most of them were raised then alot of the crime and these school violance acts would not be happening. Another point is if we were to re issue public executions do you think that this would deter people from commiting crimes? I know that if I saw someone getting hanged I believe that I would be alot more less likely to commit a crime. Nope instead we put prisoners on a pedestal and treat them better than we do our homeless or are poverty stricken.
5) Problem #5- WE NEED TO KEEP JOBS IN AMERICA!!!!! There should be such huge penalties for imported goods that it would be cheaper for companies to just build their products here. America is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world and yet we have a huge unemployeement rate and the value of our dollar is at the point that it is not worth the paper it is written on. The goverment needs to wake and smell the coffee. If something isnt done soon America is going to fall into another depression and is well on its way to becoming a new third world country. I mean what would it take to impose a terrif tax on imported goods say like 150% of the items worth added onto the total price of the item. That is just an example but say fine the crap out of companies trying to import goods into our country, and basically force companies to keep their factories here and to keep jobs in this country. Basically we are consumer economy instead of an industrial nation like we use to be. Bad thing about that is with noone working and people going without jobs how can out economy succeed since it is based off of consumerism.
By the way Alisyn I still belive that you are great and if it were up to me it would be just you and Gretchen on the show and just get rid of the guys.
you guys are great to wake up tooo…..keep up the good work …
COMMENT TO CHERYL B;
Again, this blog is meant to be positive and upbeat. Take your negative comments and watch CNN; you will see plenty of women “playing to the camera,” but Alisyn works for Fox News, the number one rated show on all of Cable and doesn’t have to. She is doing her job, and a spectacular one at that~
Go away negativity~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Someone at Fox please E-Mail G.W. Bush and inform him that the Experts predict Gas prices will be $4.00 a Gallon by this Summer. He keeps saying we are NOT in a Recession. Maybe he needs to go to the Grocery Store now and then. Bread Prices are soaring along with the Price of everything Else.
And as for Geraldo “Open Border” Rivera, keep him off of F&F ! Have Fox station him on the Border so he can cover the Drug Dealers and Sex Traders that are coming across the Border. Also he could cover some of the Rapes, Murders and Kidnapping that the Mexican Gang Members like MS-13 are commiting.
Alisyn…..I cannot for the life of me, figure out/or find out, how to email individuals at Fox & Friends. I emailed ‘the show’ and ‘Fox news’, but I wanted the individuals on the show to be aware of this, if they are not…. Fox has fairly recently started to air a commercial, in the early morning hours….specifically last aired at 552 am CA time today 2/29… called EXTENZE. I am certainly NOT a prude by any measure, but this is a PORNO/JUNK commercial!!! I stopped watching the American Movie channel because they air it constantly from 12 to 6 AM. I have NOW stopped watching Fox & Friends because of this commercial. FOX CANNOT POSSIBLY BE THIS HARD UP FOR COMMERCIAL REVENUE…..AND, I’m sure I am NOT the only one offended by this junk….AND children are up at this time!!! It is COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE, and FOX needs to take it OFF IMMEDIATELY. Thanks…..
Alisyn:
I admire how you balance family and career – it is tremendously difficult and rewarding to a level many can never appreicate. My wife and I have two wonderful sons. I travel extensively due to my international work and my wife has been the primary parent for 17 years. Our oldest is off to college next year and I can see in her eyes the torment she feels at the prospect of seeing him leave the house after spending nearly every day of his life with him – even though she balanced her parenting with her work as many mothers do. It is a saintly undertaking that should be revered and never ridiculed.
Dear Alisyn…what’s up with Cauliflower…in its natural state, it looks like a cadaver’s brain…cooked, it looks like wet pieces of cotton laid on a plate. Our only option is to pour cheese sauce over it. Then, it looks like an infected piece of animal tissue.
I hope the Guantanamo internees are being forced to eat Cauliflower…I can’t think of a more cruel and inhuman treatment.
Shalom Aleichem, Mark P.
Alisyn, I don’t know how you put up with such dough-heads as Ted and angelainherhoover. To make ridiculous hurtful comments about your children is way over the line. I guess that’s the price you pay for hosting a blog. I’m sure you can surmise from the vast amount of adoring comments you receive that they are in a very small minority. Listen, I consider myself a straight shooter, if you stink, I say so. I have strong negative opinions about others on F&F but will not violate your rule. You, on the other hand, are the reason I watch…you deserve your own show, you are that good. Witty, charming, intelligent, professional, gorgeous, geez, I could go on and on. Oh, and I would put money on the fact that your kids feel you are just a marvelous mom.
I missed the foods that make you look and feel younger. What r they?????? I really need to know. Thanks
Matt Drudge’s “breaking” of Prince Harry’s deployment to Afghanistan recklessly and needlessly endangered lives. Drudge’s action was deplorable, irresponsible and borders on evil.
Alisyn, love your show and watch it as ofter as I can. Swithced from cable to Dish Network and can’t get the show at home now and try to catch it at other locations.
My issue this morning is dealing with the presidential campaigns and nominations. I am a retired veteral and proudly wore the Us Army uniform for 37 years. My issue with the election process deals with the “Commander in Chief”. I personaly feel that in order to serve in the position as Commander in Chief that you must have been in military service and worn a U.S uniform. I have had issues since Billy Bob Clinton was in office and served as the Commander in Chief. He was a joke. Everytime I saw him greet a Soldier or any other service member while exiting Air Force One or Marine One, his salute was a joke and a mockery to the service member. Billy Boy didn’t even know how to salute.
It is also a mockery to our service members for the so called Commander in Chief to visit our troops at any location in the world and the Chief to have never served his country in a military position.
Feel better now as I have gotten this off of my chest. I would like to know how other viewers feel about this issue.
Keep up the good work. Your show is wonderful and I always look forward to your staffs comments.
You need to have more cooking segments on the show … and not the groady to the max segments like that hairy steak bit … Guh!!
Your first segment should be … Getting the real recipe outta the girls over at the Levain Bakery for their Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookies … A friend & I are trying to recreate it, but we’re on the wrong coast & don’t have access to those cookies … Help a girl out & go get one and send it out for a chemical analysis …
LOL
In a couple of the images during the story on Prince Harry in Afghanistan, it looked like the cap he was wearing had a subdued US flag on it. I cannot find these images in the stories online. Did I need to have my coffee earlier, or did those images actually appear?
Alisyn,
I’m going to have to agree with Christopher. You top _ by a long shot!
(insert any name here__)
Hi,
Just curious – what’s with the host changes with no announcement? I’m guessing that Kelly and Page have been unceremoniously dumped from the weekend show, like others in the past? It would be nice to have the changes announced rather than just having people that I like disappear or moved to another time slot.
Love the show, but it would be nice to settle in with some good hosts (not — !!).
Time to vent: About Fox News vocabulary,
I am tired of hearing the word “rhetoric” the other night on Hannity & Colmes the word rhetoric was used 17 times in 30 minutes. It seem like every Fox News show has someone or more who throws out that word everyone and John McCain’s mother is using the word rhetoric. Come on people expand your vocabulary, get a thesaurus. Here are just a few replacements: drivel, gibberish, hogwash, humbug, jabberwocky, or here are some less harsh replacements: floweriness, grandiosity, loftiness, pomposity or two of my favorite are jazz and wordiness all of these can be used in place of rhetoric. Now I am from Oklahoma so when an Okie thinks you need to expand your vocabulary you have a problem we use the word Y’all to save time.
I agree with so many – love your show so much. Started watching when E.D. Hill was still on and it just keeps getting better. Funny, there are sooo many men commenting on how much they love you I figured it would be good to hear from more women. I love all four of you in the a.m. It’s a great way to start our day as my husband and I get ready for work and always look forward to the A.T.S.S. when I get to work. We often say that we’d love to have all of you over our home for a dinner party – it would be great fun.
I’m with Darlene on the EXTENZE Info-trash !
There are so many good questions you don’t answer. How come??
This is mine
On a serious note. Its great all the friends thank the troops for the job they are doing overseas. I have been wondering would any of the friends join the military and do the same.
Keep in mind a lot of those troops are married man and woman with families.
Ex – Pat Tillman
I’m not sure the military would be well served by my joining. I’m sure my fellow soldiers don’t feel like having to carrying me around for miles. (Physical exertion is not my strong suit.) I think I could best serve our military forces by doing stories on their heroism — as we have repeatedly.
Alisyn,
It’s tremendous that you would spend time interacting with the public in this forum. Thank you. A few observations:
1. There is a big, noticeable difference between morning shows (t.v. and radio) where the hosts are actually funny and enjoying themselves (Fox and Friends) and the rest of the shows where they think they are funny but come off as fakes.
2. Ted is not very bright.
3. The more camera time you get, the later I am for work.
4. My two toddlers fight over the remote control in the morning to see who can be the one to turn on the t.v. They only know the channel numbers for Fox News and the Weather Channel.
Continue the excellent work you do.
That’s funny Taylor.
You may have misinterpreted my remarks.
I know parents are the most important ingredient to a child’s welfare having fathered 3 kids.
I know the “off-duty” sign is not present in your life. I admire you, your career, and your family. It is clear to most of your bloggers you are an exceptional person. My remark about your husband being a lucky guy…was to include him (inclusivity is a cultural must).
When I remarked to “Ted” that you have “people,” I was employing “nuance and subtlety” (something I have never been successful with – having grown up in Texas I share with “W” an inability to communicate very well). (Luv u “W”)
In other words, Ted, if you say anything rude about AC you will get a lot of “blow-back” from her adoring following from around the world.
Bill, you’re a sweetheart! I know you’ve got my back. Take that Ted.
Hey Alisyn at FOX & Friends,
I consider myself just an ordinary American Citizen and admit that I certainly don’t have all the answers. However, I cannot for the life me understand that if the all the candidates running for President have all of the answers to solve the problems with the economy, the war, immigration, etc. etc., then why do they just say they can fix everything instead of giving us the ways in which they are going to fix it. Further, especially the senators that are running, I would like to know what the heck they have been doing while they have been in the Senate – if they really do have all the answers. To me it is like the dangling carrot syndrome—that if you elect me—then I will give you the answers and make everything right–just forget the fact that I am a senator and that my job is to help make America better and stronger. Did all of the answers to the problems just come to light in their minds when they decided to run for President? Did they not have some idea of the problems in this great country of ours while they were in the Senate—and if they did, why did they not try to do something to help fix the problems then? I could go on and on—I guess what I would really like is for some candidate to explain HOW they are going to accomplish what they are all saying they can do instead of just telling us that is what they will do. I know—its politics!!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent!!!
Brian attacking Donnie Osmond was the highlight of the week-
what a hoot!
I agree with Hank. Geraldo has no business expressing his bias Opinion, or commenting on others actions considering his back-ground. He is one of the lowest of the low and should be sent packing. The fact he has written a book and making money off his bias opinion is a good example.
GRRR!
Could someone please beat Geraldo with a shoe!!
It’s NOT about RACE!!! It’s about being LEGAL.
I don’t care if your Hispanic, Korean, or Arabic, you must be coming to America LEGALLY.
Alisyn,
Just read all these blogs today….They DO NOT pay you enough!
Agreed.
What happened to Paige Hopkins???
Mary J
Have ya’ll considered doing a show in bathing suits to combat the Robin Meade cleavage advantage?
Just a thought
re: george duffer,alisyn, can someone find my brain so i’ll know how to find the answer on a calculator?
re: john-you just made it worse- now i need to find a pencil and paper…then i have to figure out which end of the pencil writes on the paper…do you have to sharpen something first???
Alisyn,
I was watching Hannity & Colmes one night as I do almost every night and Rich Lowry was sitting in for Sean. He could not get the word “nominee” out. Then it came to me, wouldn’t it be fun to watch all of the Fox News Channel people on a bloopers show. I am a big fan of Fox & Friends, O’Reilly and Hannity & Colmes and I think people would love a little break from all that serious news and to see something funny. What do you think?
Thanks,
Jane

Dear Alisyn,
I absolutely love you! Your charm, wit and intelligence really
brings F&F to life and I watch you every morning while I’m
getting the kids ready for school. I was wondering why you
can’t join Steve, Brian & Gretchen on the couch and make it
a foursome. I like Gretchen, but I’m always bummed at
7 to see you go. My husband loves you, too!
Keep up the great work!!
angelarinerhoover:
I don’t think anyone gets more of a kick out of Alisyn than Steve, Brian and Gretchen…She’s a team member and she plays her roll beautifully!!
It was a little unnerving the way Steve was handeling the pistol that Jack Ruby shot Oswald with . It is obvious he never handeled a pistol before and the way he was waveing it around even got you upset, yes you can say it was “unloaded ” but a lot of people are shot with “unloaded’” guns.
Also in New York state and aspecially NYC it is illegal to even touch a handgun without having a pistol permit( I assume he dosen’t have one ) so he also broke the law. I hope the auctioneer also has a pistol permit . If I’m wrong with that law you can correct me.
I’m not sure the military would be well served by my joining. I’m sure my fellow soldiers don’t feel like having to carrying me around for miles. (Physical exertion is not my strong suit.) I think I could best serve our military forces by doing stories on their heroism — as we have repeatedly.
I’m glad everyone doesn’t feel this. If they did you wouldn’t have the freedom to be able to report stories and earn the bigger bucks.
roll?
Where’s my proof reader!?!
Y’all have a good weekend!
I know why we are in an economic slow down. Because the media wont stop drilling it in our heads!
When can we expect to see the FOX equivalent to Headline News?
for ph and alkaline try apple cider vinegar
i love the ieda
Ken W-Just want you to know that I appreciated everyone that served in Viet Nam. During Viet Nam I was the age where it was cool to want to protest the war. I was one that didn’t. I don’t know what this country would be like if not for men and women of the military. Thank you Ken for your service.
I love the show, the stance and the way Alisyn engages in all the conversation. I think that Ted may be a little jealous and didn’t nurse long enough as a child.
Keep up the good work, I would like to see Alisyn and Steve go head to head in the Great American Culture Quiz. That would be entertaining.
Alisyn you rock…. Love ya in Louisiana
HRH PRINCE HARRY
FEBRUARY 29, 2008
In reference to your request for a comment on Prince Harry’s military role in Afghanistan. You asked if we thought it was a public gain or a mistake.
Having lived in England for many years, I can tell you with confidence that The English Royal Family are always an inspiration to its people. There is a tradition of military presence of Kings, Princeses, Dukes etc. They always demonstrate how much they love their country and their people. The Royal Family feels that wherever their soldiers are fighting, if a member of their family is present, they realize that it is a boost for the morale of their soldiers and they (the family) do it because they feel it as a duty and a responsibility to fight by their side, but mos importantly, because they love them. That is one of the many reasons why the Brits love their Royal Family back and forgive wholeheartedly mistakes they make in their personal lives.
I think that if our leaders really loved out country and truly felt a responsibility for what the Bush administration has done in sending us into a crazy war, perhaps some of their sons would also join the military! The boost to our troops would be important. And we would see that they are putting “their money where their mouth is” If you know what I mean.
I think the British, in the person of Prince Harry, have given us a lesson. Our politicians should LEARN IT.
about petrol prices now including the fact the australian dollar is sky high vs the us$ 0.95 we are paying between $1.34au/l and $1.44au/l for std unleaded as a gallon is 4.5l it works out to between $5.72/g us$ and $5.98/g us$ we have seen $1.54/l au$ for reg unleaded and premium unleaded 10c more /l so stop whining over there i’ll happilly pay your prices than here in australia
Toads were the only thing my ex- husband was afraid of and I had no problem picking one up and putting it in his face. THEY DO NOT cause warts, that is such an “old wifes’ tale”. Get real!
Ally I think you are the finest anchor on tv. I will keep watching all because of you. Keep up the good work….
Dear Alisyn…I appreciate your dignity (re: Ted, et. al.); they are obviously suffering from cranio-rectal inversion.
I think you are a wonderful example to your kids…and mine.
Heartfelt admiration, Shalom Aleichem, Mark P.
Bring on the jimmy dean sun guy. so we can clear up the heritage link between steve and mr sun
Was watching F&F this morning and there was a lady on that referenced a form that would be posted on the F&F web site, regarding guidelines for visiting colleges (for the purpose of selection of a higher institution of learning). I cannot find the form. Can you direct me? Thanks.
Wasn’t David Schuster right when he said the Clintons are pimping out Chelsea? She was out on a 30 minute “date” with Jason Rae, the so-called youngest super-delegate!
Three ways to enjoy this leap day:
1. Know that it is Friday.
2. Realize that those born on this day,
don’t really get to count their
birthdays every four years.
3. Know that the next one is only four
years away.

Don’t we like to celebrate?
Any day, or any date.

Hi Alisyn:
Mike Brewster here. Your blog is the best!
I’ll have to check in more often. Have fun in Ohio. Hope to see you guys again soon.
Please tell me why I have wasted my time participating in 13 elections/primaries. Why not forget about the popular vote and just hold debates for the delegates and let them have their caucuses to select the candidate they want? Why waste so much time and money campaigning for the popular vote when is doesn’t seem to really count anyway?
Alisyn,
I think Fox and Friends are wonderful. My husband David and I watch your show faithfully. I notice your special assignments lately. You are not leaving the morning show are you? Please say no. We love you and your rapport with Steve and Brian.
I have a question for you. Your necklaces are so beautiful. Would you mind telling me where you get them? I am particularly enchanted with a blue, sparkly necklace you had on in the last two weeks – it looked ike it had a crystal pendant. If you ever get tired of any of your necklaces, remember me.

hi alisyn i wood just like to say want a great job you do an foxs thanks
How can anyone show the young people of our country to follow the rules when the Dems can’t follow what they say.
All this shows is no matter what happens in life (including politics) just change the rules for what fits your agenda.
Yes I am very upset at what is going on. No matter what party I am in. I am just very happy that I raised my children teaching them the difference between right and wrong, respect & all rules apply.
What has become of Page Hopkins and Kelly Wright? I miss seeing them both on the weekends.
Hey there Alisyn…
Great job at reading the card’s and being a laky for the real host’s. It must be a really hard job being , “On the bench”, for that other dumb blonde.
Ya’ think anyone could do it? No! It take’s real talent and pro’s to create the person you do.
Keep up the great work!

I watch your program every morning. I feel the vaccine connection to autism isnt being covered enough. I am a mother of 3 children, sadly my last child suffered this terrible vaccine and autism connection. He had to be placed and my life has never been the same. Please for children like Andy and others bring this out so they dont continue to suffer in slience. God Bless Andys mom Kathy
I left a message 2 to be exacet, and no answer yet.
don’t you think Geraldine Ferraro took one for the team with her comments about Obama’s race driven campaign? i can’t imagine that someone so politcally savvy would accidently make a comment like that on tv without some direction from the top.
Hi, I am a 50 year old woman on my 3 marriage. You people are making such a big deal out of this. His wife had to know what was going on and choose to ignore it. I think this is also the kind of woman who would look the other way if her husband was molesting one of their daughters. Nothing suprises me any more when it comes to what humans will do to one another. We are only animals intelligent, but animals just the same.
Riding home from work today and was listening to Hannity. I could not believe “the preacher” of Obama! Why doesn’t anyone push for an answer from him. I listened to the sermon and was horrified. It’s not a black or white issue – it’s someone who is preaching separation! If your a politician, you should expect anything and everything. After all, if he becomes President, he should be able to answer ANY QUESTIONS given to him. Love your show, watch it every morning before leaving for work!!!
Not to mention the fact that Obama was mentored by this so call preacher. My real concern is the fact that all of the people who are asked to comment on the ministers rant and rave, concur that this is normal in the so called “Black Churchs” even Obama himself. If this is true, then we have a very long way to go to heal the wounds of Black & White Biggotry. In my 58 years of life and church going I have never heard anything other than love thy neighbor. Black, Brown, Red, etc. If this is the teaching that occurs in the “Black Church”, then we will never be as one in this country. It should be Gods Church not Black Church or White Church! These types of teachings are only creating hate and discontent. Wake up people!
Can someone answer me one more question? If we all want to be as one and equal, then why do people who are born and raised in America and happen to be black refer to themselves as African Americans. Just because I am white and of European heritage I don’t refer to myself as Euro American. Are we not all Americans?
what happened to kelly wright on weekends?he and greg were the best ever…
enjoy you all every day.
Why is nobody, anywhere, talking about the possible disenfranchising of the tens of millions of democratic party voters from all fifty states. I hear about concern for those in Florida and Michigan who toke the tome to vote in primaries that they already knew were invalid. What about the rest of the country when those 800 of so “superdelegates” step into the spotlight and are allowed by democratic party rules to ignore every vote cast by every US citizen in all the primaries and caucuses. This is the ultimate definition of a disenfranchised voter, yet nobody from any network, or any paper is discussing this.
I am a 42 year old Kansas City man, married with 2 young boys who has lost over 98% of my eyesight due to a rare retinal disease. I am running the Boston Marathon on April 21st where I hope to run close to a 3 hour time in an effort to raise funds and awareness to my disease. I have logged well over 3000 miles on a treadmill watching Fox & Friends and would love to do a spot to promote my efforts.
Thank you for your time.
