I have a friend who lives in torture due to back pain, and this could change her life. Where is the info? Please help. Doug Alisyn,

Many of your reporters have no idea of how one should address navy or coast guard personnel. A recent news report had US Coast Guard Chief Petty Office being interviewed and being addressed as "Officer." A man of that rank in the navy or coast guard should be addressed as "Chief" Lower ranked petty officers (First, 2nd, 3rd class) can be addressed as "petty officer" Several months ago, the Commandant of the Coast Guard, who is a four-star admiral, was referred to and addressed as "Commander," which is six ranks below a four-star admiral. Some of the news personnel (not only Fox, but other networks as well), will call sailors, and airmen, "soldiers". Soldiers are in the army!! Sailors are in the navy; Airmen are in the air force; marines are in the marines; coast guardsmen are in the coast guard. For a station that supports the military, a bit of knowlegde seems to be lacking. Maybe Ollie can give classes.

Is there anyway you could investigate just a bit to reveal what might be going on? Presidential canidates can't keep a secret but the law can? I just think it is so unfair that this child died and no one has said anything since this lady was released from jail. I know that if it were here in Texas something would be done sooner. This all happened on Jan 10th of this year. Hopefully you can shed so light to me as why they are dragging thier fet. Thank you and I just love your show. I am addicted to it. My husband thinks that my tv only has one channel. I heard about a steo mother in Hobbs New Mexico that killed her 3 yr old stepson and it don’t seem that anything is being done about it.

Would this city do the same for Gay people? I don't think so, why the special treatment? I don't see just a racist action but also a sexual discrimination. Sensitivity?

After a slap on the wrist for stealing and destroying classified documents - what's he doing now? My fear is that his security clearance has been reinstated and that he's free to access classified information again. I realize it's no longer a top story but it's one that I personally feel shouldn't be forgotten. I’d like to know what’s going on with Sandy Berger (or as Steve named him – Sandy Burglar).

Tell Gretchen we have Ohio in common. At age 26, I was the youngest Mayor in the State of Ohio, but that was in 1975 – long before she was even born, and lived near Cincinnati for 38 years. Thanks for listening and I’d like to see if I am the only one struggling as a small businessman.
