OK, but who are the choices for this week? I need to redeem myself after last week.

Hi Ally,
Where have you been? The show is not as good in the morning with out you. I actually find myself looking at other news outlets. It is getting a little boring, you at least provided somr more interest.

Waking up twice a week to Alisyn is not enough! We need more Ali-Time!

You should post the match-ups so we can submit our picks for you.

The Bucs nearly pulled that game out in the last seconds – D^$%.

Let’s get’em this week!

New England defensive tackle Vince Wilfork will be fined but not suspended by the NFL after meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell about a hit on Denver quarterback Jay Cutler.

Just because I get so tired of this garbage this election is putting out I had to blog again. Check it out if you like, comment if you will.

Have a great evening.

This week shows some real tough games in the offing. Hope we see the teams soon.

Alisyn-At least you’re doing better than Dave!

has anyone been able to find out if obama is a naturalized american citizen??

Obama and Biden want to share the wealth. Well, that is unless it’s their own. Until Obama decided to run for President in 2005, he only gave around 1% of his income to charity while he was, according to his own definition, -rich (making over $200,000 per year). At the same time, Biden was giving less than 1/2% of his income to charity. In the meantime, John McCain was giving over 10% of his income to charitable causes. Just another case where Obama’s actions don’t match his words.

He’d rather give 28% of your wealth to his charity, the non-working.

Hillary Clinton Supporters And Women For McCain Leadership React To Barack Obama’s Attack Ad “His Choice”

ARLINGTON, VA — McCain-Palin 2008 today released the following statements from former Hillary Clinton supporters and Women for McCain leadership in reaction to Barack Obama’s sexist attack ad “His Choice”:

VIRGINIA

Judy Black, National Co-Chair, Women for McCain: “Enough is enough! Senator Obama has stooped to a new low in his constant attacks on Governor Palin with his new ad titled, ‘His Choice.’ Barack Obama’s choice has been to attack, demean and ridicule women, first Sen. Clinton and now Gov. Palin. American women do not need any more of Obama’s sexist choices or attacks. John McCain made the choice to put a strong leader with a proven record forward as his running mate. As a woman, I am outraged by the over-the-top treatment of Gov. Palin and I urge all women to reject the double standard put forward by a man who was just a state senator in Illinois three years ago by voting McCain-Palin this Tuesday.”

Patty Denton, Washington County Republican Chairwoman: “We, as a country, should be past the days in which women were treated as inferior. Women are the backbone of this country. It’s disappointing for Senator Obama, who has proclaimed change’ as his mantra, to disregard the monumental progress women have made in this country. Governor Palin is an exceptional leader and has fought on the side of all Americans, regardless of race or gender. These types of ads show that the Obama campaign is willing to do anything to score a few political cheap shots at the expense of women. On November 4th, women will go to the polls and demand respect for themselves and their daughters from the type of negative attacks perpetrated by Senator Obama.”

MISSOURI

Representative Jo Ann Emerson: “With more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden combined, Governor Sarah Palin holds her own on the national scene and embodies the values that Americans want in those who will lead our country. This ad is just one more example of the constant attacks from the Obama-Biden campaign. With each attack, they attempt to dismiss the intelligent, qualified, and experienced woman who will soon become our next Vice-President of the United States.”

Sharon Barnes, Missouri State Chair Women for McCain: “These attacks on Governor Sarah Palin show the desperation of the Democratic Party to try to stem the overwhelming support for the maverick Republican team of John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin – a team dedicated to bringing about the right kind of change for the people of this country. The voters of this great nation will not be fooled. Gov. Palin is a proven leader and serious reformer with experience in economics, defense and foreign policy that the Democratic candidate for president can only wish he had.”

CALIFORNIA

Shelly Mandell, President of Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women: “I am outraged by the new ad put out by Barack Obama. It is sexist and demeaning to women. These tactics started with Hillary Clinton and continue, growing even more disgusting with Gov. Palin. I was a Hillstar for Hillary and an avid supporter. Trashing two women clearly in a sexist manner in one election is an outrage and must be identified and stopped. There must be consequences. Let female Obama supporters take a good look at this and still believe their candidate supports women’s rights and women’s dignity.”

Prameela Bartholomeusz, DNC Platform Committee Member: “I am once again stunned at the personal and sexist attacks by the Obama campaign against Gov. Palin. This latest ad is sexist and offensive. The Gov. of Alaska has been managing and balancing a budget of $10 billion; I think she knows a bit about economics. Sen. Obama never spoke up against sexism during the primary season, and is not speaking out against misogyny during this phase of the election season — he is contributing to it. I have no confidence that Sen. Obama will fight for women’s issues if elected. This sets women back decades.”

PENNSYLVANIA

Christine J. Toretti, PA Women For McCain Co-Chair, PA National Committeewoman: “Vice presidential running mate, Sarah Palin, is an experienced public servant. As governor of Alaska and as mayor of Wasilla she proved to be an effective leader and businesswoman. Senator Obama’s baseless attack on Governor Palin is preposterous. God forbid a leader is not only competent, but beautiful and wears a skirt!”

Bernie Comfort, Pennsylvania Women for McCain State Chair: “Senator Obama’s ad simply mocks Governor Palin. The real truth is Gov. Palin has experience dealing with the economy as an executive running the state of Alaska and as a business owner. She is the experienced leader we need to lead this country with John McCain.”

Stephanie Bressler, Ph.D, Hillary Clinton supporter, University of Scranton women and politics professor: “It’s a sexist example of reducing a woman to an object – a wink – and denying her a voice. Her lips are actually moving, but she’s not allowed to be heard.”

OHIO

Barbara Rosier-Tryon, Member of the Warren Republican Women’s Club: “This is yet another sexist cheap shot on Gov. Palin’s image from the Obama-Biden campaign. Sarah Palin’s record of reform and experience as governor of Alaska and commander of the state’s National Guard is more distinguished than Barack Obama’s one and only term in the U.S. Senate.”

NORTH CAROLINA

Martha Jenkins, North Carolina Women for McCain State Chairman: “Barack Obama chose Joe Biden to make up for his own lack of foreign policy expertise. He has absolutely no reason to criticize McCain’s pick of Palin. Gov. Palin is infinitely more qualified than Barack Obama. In running this ad, Obama is acknowledging that Gov. Palin is an effective and a positive part of John McCain’s candidacy; otherwise, why focus on her at all? Barack Obama is using this ad to divert attention from the fact that the American public is realizing that Obama is just as radical as his associates, and that he lacks the experience and judgment to be President of the United States.”

FLORIDA

Albert Chang, Regional Director of Citizens for McCain, a group that includes Democrats and Independents: “We look forward to winning Tampa and the surrounding counties for McCain-Palin. This ad is a distracting personal attack on an experienced executive and the voters of Florida will see through it. This campaign will remain focused on issues impacting the everyday lives of Floridians and Americans.”

Mary Calderon, Tampa, former Senator Clinton supporter: “I’m disappointed that Senator Obama has resorted to personal attacks at this point in the campaign. Would any male candidate for vice president of the United States be afforded similar treatment by the Obama campaign? I would say not.”

INDIANA

Judy Singleton, Indiana Women for McCain Co-Chair: “Obama seems to have a problem with strong, smart women. Ask Hillary. Running an ad like this is an affront to talented women everywhere. To imply that Gov. Palin doesn’t understand economics because she’s pretty and winks is ridiculous. As a governor, she’s proved she understands the economy better than Barack Obama, who hasn’t completed his first term in the Senate, does. All one has to do is look at her record of leadership on economic development and then look at his.”

NEW YORK

Amy Siskind, Ambassador for Hillary: “When Senator Hillary Clinton was demeaned and degraded during the Presidential Primary, many of us of, myself included, vowed ‘never again’. The treatment of Governor Palin by both the main stream media, and now the Obama Campaign, shows that the misogyny fest is alive and well in our country. There has been a complete and utter smear job of our fellow citizen, Sarah Palin, who is only trying to serve her country.”

I’d rather give my 43 percent to the poor than the rich, Which is exactly what I’ve been doing for the last 7 years. BTW have y’all cashed the check I SENT you this spring/summer? I betcha have. I didn’t get my own money back because i make over 150k a year. Tell me what did ya buy with MY money? You have the nerve to call ME a socialist? HA HA

Alisyn, where are you? Why don’t we see you in the morning anymore on Fox and Friends? We miss you. When will you be back?

That’s a silly argument obamalover; like who wouldn’t rather give their hard earned money away to the poor than to the rich? However, that’s where your argument falls flat, and frankly, absurd, because where does your (ahem) 150k come from? e.g, A poor person?.. Tell us THAT, and i’ll continue writing this comment……

However, i will continue w/this, you hate giving any of your hard earned money away, don’t you? And that’s just human, because you’d rather give your hard earned money away “yourself” to the poor or the needy or whatever; to whomever you see fit, right? It’s called charity, and that’s a wonderful thing to be able to give to. Tell that to Barack Obama the next time you see him because he gives so little of his OWN $$$ to charity!!

o_s

Hey Obamalover,

Guess what? theft is still theft even if you make it legal. I don’t give a dang if you give 90%, which you are quite free to do, because it is your money. What you are saying is that Obama is better to figure out where your money should go than you are. If that’s the case, then no explanation is possible.

Funny how generous the guy who gives, what 1% of his income to charity is so willing to give a larger percent of my income away. Set down the kool aid carefully, we don’t want anyone else to get wet.

Please feel free to send the Government as much money as you care to, or as much as you can afford. I’m sure they will find yet another pork project to waste it on.

Take a break people we are all American’s and all want the best for our country.

We have tried it your way for a while now, and look where that has gotten us, let’s go back to what has proven to work before. I enjoy money and would like to go back to the good old days of actually having some to be taxed.

How about we stop the American against American propaganda and join me around the campfire to sing God Bless America on November 4 ?

Your idea of good times always meant less in my pocket. No thanks. Here maybe this will clear your thinking, if not, then the closing lines will explain the reason why.

Bar Stool Economics

Suppose that every day, TEN men go out for beer and the bill for all ten
comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it
would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every
day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the
owner threw them a curve. “Since you are all such good customers,” he
said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks
for the ten now cost just $80.”

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the
first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But
what about the other six men, the paying customers? How could they
divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share? They
realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that
from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each
end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that
it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount,
and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued
to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to
compare their savings.

I only got a dollar out of the $20, declared the sixth man. He pointed
to the tenth man, but he got $10!

Yeah, that’s right, exclaimed the fifth man. I only saved a dollar, too.
It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I did!

That’s true! shouted the seventh man. Why should he get $10 back when I
got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks! Wait a minute, yelled
the first four men in unison. We didn’t get anything at all. The
system exploits the poor!

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat
down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill,
they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money
between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists, liberals, and college professors,
is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get
the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, or attack
them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact,
they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat
friendlier.

Too late Oba Loverboy. My 11 votes (thank you Acorn for teaching me how) have already been cast for Sarah and whoever that guy is running with her.

An aging cruise ship could become temporary housing for Hurricane Ike refugees if Texas officials can navigate through the federal government’s paperwork.

Federal Emergency Management Agency officials said they had not received a formal request for funds to use the ship and that a state agency’s e-mail to a FEMA administrator did not follow protocol for making such a request.

The LA Times citing “Journalistic Ethics” is as believable as a hooker espousing virginity.

Hi Allyson: I have a question for you. Yesterday Nominee and Senator Barack Obama made a statement about have in his administration “citizen soldiers”. I do believe that this is another telling ideal of Mr. Obama’s. My first thought is – will they be wearing Swasticas on their sleeves? Will they be turning in their neighbors? Are we going to be like Natzi Germany? What do you think?????

I blame chas for last week’s picks. He was too convincing. I think he is right about the tax thing too but my head is too foggy to do the math.

OBAMAlover sounds like a typical Democrat after they rig an election: “Let’s all get together and be friends and sing God Bless America.” No, it doesn’t work that way. Instead lets have an ACORN versus Joe the Plumber and friends hockey match or a ultimate fighting cage match. I’d like to show them just how much brotherly love I hold for those who stole my sole means of power. An election is the only day when citizens are all equal. It is the only time when lobbyists come second. I spent 23 years in the military, endured hardships, was shot at, spit on, and the Democrats manage to shave off the military absentee ballots EACH and EVERY election. So, yeah, OBAMAlover, I’d love to “get together” and “sing”.

Selfish!!! Maybe you could look up how much McCain,Obama,Palin and Biden gave to charity last year on their income tax forms????

The Green Bay Packers released Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, the franchise sacks leader, on Saturday.

The defensive end had been with the team for nine seasons and appeared in 124 games, starting 74.

He had 74 1/2 sacks for Green Bay, passing Reggie White’s 68 1/2 in 2007.

Today I heard that 98% of the overseas military’s votes will not be counted. Why aren’t we hearing what’s being done about this?
