Saturday Morning
Good Morning Everyone,
If you missed Captain Richard Phillips homecoming, we’ll play the emotional reunion with his family for you. Who (on Earth) deserves the most credit for this happy ending: Capt. Phillips, the NAVY Seals or President Obama who authorized the use of deadly force?
Students at Brown University won a fight to change the name of Columbus Day weekend to “Fall Weekend.” We’ll tell you why invoking the name of Columbus is so offensive to some — and changing it is offensive to others (like Italian-Americans). When you hear the story, let us know if you think it’s a change for the better or political correctness run amok.
Did anyone see the “Square Butts” Burger King ad? What did you think? The fast-food chain has pulled it after many claimed it was lewd. We’ll get to the bottom of it.
And on a sidenote, yes, it was wonderful to meet one of our charter members Eileen (aka ME). I’m thrilled at the community of family and friends that’s grown around the Greenroom.

Alisyn,
I am looking forward to seeing you this morning. I think Capt. Phillips and the Navy SEALS deserve the credit for success. However, I do think Obama did the right thing by giving the okay; otherwise, this event had the potential of reminiscing Jimmy Carter’s handling of the US Hostages in Iran, which I am sure crossed Obama’s mind.
Good morning, Alisyn and everyone.
I believe Captain Phillips deserves the most credit for the happy ending to the pirate saga. He exhibited extreme personal courage in going with the pirates and getting them into a position (off the ship) where it would be easier for the Navy to deal with them. All, however, deserve credit for this one. Captain Phillips trusted in his government and that government didn’t let him down.
Good Morning Ali, looking forward to today’s show. It nice you mention Eileen but I cant think of fan that wouldnt fall over themselves to meet you!
Ed
Good morning Ms. Alisyn,
I’m glad to hear you had such a good time meeting with Eileen. I know she was thrilled with meeting you.
I think the Seals deserve most of the Credit. It was the only choice the President really had but as far as I am concerned it shouldn’t have been necessary for him to make the choice. The Navy’s job is to protect the open seas for us and our allies. It’s the first thing a new guy learns in the Navy.
Brown is just nuts. PC gone wild. It’s no wonder race never gets the proper attention because idiots like these still want to relive the past.
Looking forward to the show today.
chas
G ‘morning Alisyn, Lanna, chas and all ~
I can’t watch the homecoming of Captain Phillips often enough, the smile & happy tear arrive each and every time!
I can’t wait to hear all the details and see the pictures of your & Eileen’s (Me) visit ~ ☂

Good morning Alisyn and all
I’m not a sponge bob fan. I could find someone other than him to promote a product. Very nice homecoming for Cap. Phillips. An American hero. I had a great time at our local TEA party. 200 or so were there.Every one was on their best behavior.I’m disgusted by that handshake.Obummer would befriend Satan himself for political gain. Alisyn,you look good this AM John
Changing the names of holidays because people think it is offensive to others is pretty silly. I am a Native American woman who is not offended by the mention of Columbus Day, and for others to decide on their own that it may be offensive to me is ignorant.
I see Obama is cozying up to the Piglet from Caracas. It’s so nice to wake up to a nice new surprise each day. Ugh. Looking forward to the yearbook photos. I wait all week for the weekend curvy couch.
Garofalo needs a muzzle. She needs to be put away.
chas
John, thanks for clarifying that Burger’s King ad was in reference to Sponge Bob ~ I hadn’t seen the ad and don’t watch Sponge Bob, but my imagination was running a little rampant this morning wondering about the ad. Shame on me!

Good Morning All,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I just spent ten minutes greeting each of you personally & was working on my answers to the daily questions when out of the blue,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, something “ate” my whole blog & sent me back to square one.
So all of you pretend these are all personal comments.
I’ll try and catch up.
I enjoy reading Cal Thomas in our local newspaper ~
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Good morning all.
Garofoolo should know a lot about the science of the brain seeing as how she’s clearly undergone a lobotomy.
Morning Gary,
I had such problems last week. Many responses went up in cyber smoke.
Morning fellow bloggers.
chas
Good morning Gary Monroe ~ I believe you, the dog ate it! Good morning to you!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
We will have to talk to Dog about that….lol
Since Garofalo is a big Obummer supporter, does this mean she hates all white people? John
Good morning Dog ~ I have never watched 24 so I didn’t know who she (janeane) was, what a mess!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Hooray for the Navy Seals! I am glad the government got out of the way and let them do their job so this story could have the happy ending it did. The Captain was also a hero saving his crew!
The handshake with Chavez disgusted me, particularly when at about the same time it was happening, the White House was trying to pretend the President was “unaware” of the thousands and thousands of us who WERE PAYING for the trip who are outraged at the wasteful spending and overreaching of government and were protesting at the tea parties. The Seals show government at its finest, the handshake and the nonbow bow show government at its worst, and the tea parties show We the People intend to stand up as our founders intended and organize to protest and vote to stop it!
Alisyn,
We are looking forward to the RV segment this moring. You gotta love that RVing.
Garofalo supporte Obummer and anyone who dissagrees with her is unamerican. Now why don’t you guys agree with her and we can all get along. John
Good Morning Alisyn and to all. Awe just love spring! One gets to find out just were all ones muscle’s are that were in hiding over winter!!
Chas, just got my coffee and heard Garofalo said, have to tell you about choked! Just read what you said “Garofalo needs a muzzle. She needs to be put away”. You have way of just saying it right! How did she get from over paying tax’s to race? Does she not pay any like the people Obummer keeps picking!
I enjoy RVing as long as it drops me off at the Ritz-Carlton at the end of the day ~
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Good Morning
I’m here in Youngstown Ohio with my 3 sisters we are having so much fun, been to long!
Ali, Thank You again I really had a blast with you! It was so cool to be IN the Greenroom!! I’m working on my blog with pictures & stories of my whole experience, This has been the best week of my life, so many great things happening! I fly home tomorrow
lol told T I was going to need 2 days in a quite room to get all my thoughts down on paper LOL
I woke everyone in the house up this morning by turning on F&F so we are all watching & waving LOL
Me, floating on air
Oh great, there is going to be an RV segment? I would love to see that. We are thinking of getting one to use as both a mobile office for our business and to travel in as we work toward retirement. We will sell our main business location then because of the economy and use this as a double duty office-we wanted to expand our present business location and build a little strip center on it, but are afraid to expand in this economy.
Hi Hugo any advise on how I can get the USA to be just like you country? I’m working at it but its not moving fast enough. LOL
Ms. Colleen,
I was a bit harsh. She is entitled to her opinion no matter how irrational and illogical it is.
But when someone wants to get up and rant, they should at least be able to construct a logical argument that follows some sort of reason.
chas
Good morning Me! I’m waving and shouting to you and your sisters – hello from Naples! Go someplace this afternoon and get drinks with little umbrellas in them…..that’s an order!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Eileen,
So good to see you. I’m so glad you had such a great time.
chas
I DVR ed the whole day of tea parties and attended my local one.
I feel inspired all over again. We’re going to have to do this about once a month just to keep me going.
It really was amazing to watch the other networks sidestep and minimize the coverage. I almost felt sorry for that CNN reporter (?). I don’t know how she could go to work this morning.
At least he didn’t bow down. Isn’ that an improvment? LOL John
LOL Betty I did last night at the comedy club we went to LOL I drank one for each of you
Good Morning from Flyover. Captain Phillips deserves hero status for placing himself in danger to save his crew. The SEALS always deserve credit because they put themselves in danger on every mission. Even Obummer deserves some credit on this one because he could have looked like Janet Reno if things , pardon the expression, went South.
An unnamed source sent me this by email. “You cannot bring prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” This was attributed to Abraham Lincoln. Do any of you history buffs know if it is authentic? If it is authentic, perhaps Obummer should study Lincoln a little deeper and not cherry pick his material.
Have a Blessed day. I will be back later.
Thanks Me, was the Comedy Club good? So happy to hear and see (thanks for the pics) you’re having a good time ~
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
This covering of the symbols at a religious institution is the most clueless example yet of PC run amok. You are so right, if it had been a mosque, it wouldn’t ever have been requested nor tolerated.
Good Morning Gary. Iam glad to know that you too are in the astroturf set.
Good morning alisyn, dave & clayton–
I wish last Saturday had been more conducive for the plaza–it was raining last Saturday & I was in New York. I did get to see the great Mike Huckabee’s show, in the live audience, and met him & Kathy Ireland afterward in the plaza. It was a great experience (short of the NYC taxi ride from the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott to Fox Studios!). If TJ & Brenda are reading the blog this morning–don’t forget to send my picture!
Suggestions to the contrary my tail feathers. Would it hurt just once for the WH to just come out and tell the truth?
Just say oops, that wasn’t the way we actually wanted this to turn out. Anything but the spin and respin nonsense they try and feed us.

Morning Olin L
I are I are.
The Lady from England/Scottish ( in need of more coffee to remember name), who sings like a angel needs no make-over! She is so obviously has so much beauty on the inside, if one can’t listen to her & watch @ the same time, just listen. And you willl her with your ears how beautiful she really is!
Chas, you are so right. And what gets me about garfolo is in the same breath she accuses everyone attending a tea party of racism she uses the offensive bigoted term “redneck”, not to mention an obscenity. Politically correct bigotry is still bigotry.

How sad that Oscaredy wouldn’t comment on any of the rescue till it was over.
You can bet if things HAD gone south,,,,,,,,,,,,, you would never have heard a word from the WH
about participation.
How do you know what age the sexter is? This sounds very dangerous to allow this activity. John
chas , have you read anything about the new Fairness Doctrine that the WH is trying to slip through the cracks by another name and unannounced vote? Trying to remember where I read that, but it didn’t make me happy ~ they’re still trying to stifle Rush, Sean, Laura Ingraham, Neal Boortz, etc. ~

Good morning fellow bloggers–
I have a quick question–have any of you experience, when first accessing the Greenroom Blog, a Windows Explorer popup windows, saying you need to run a virus scan on your computer?
I had it happened last saturday, when on work travel, from my work computer, and then again this morning, from my home computer.
Best I can say Merry is who is really the racist? Redneck indeed.
We definitely should not be protesting higher taxes, because that simply is not true. Didn’t you hear the idiot “reporter” from CNN that we should be happy with our $400.00? Does she not realize where it came from and who will have to pay it back? It’s the spending stupid!!!
I agree with Dennis Miller when he said he did not mind chipping in to help the helpless. He did mind being forced to chip in th help the clueless.
Gagafalo is a prime example of what is wrong with the secular progressive segment of our society. She makes a liberal look like a sunday school teacher. She has gone from hating George Bush to hating anything American.
hi aly,
I saw the square butt ad-after seeing it, the last thing you want to do is buy a bk anything-
Colleen, that singing lady is a beautiful person, but I think a makeover would make HER feel even better and she deserves the treat after all the years she sacrificed to take care of her mom and put her own ambitions on hold. I hope she gets the whole enchilada!
yes Anita…..it a shame…ran my program…no infections….they bother you to try to grt you to buy their program….do not load the program
Regarding Setexting. A misdemeanor with COMMUNITY SERVICE. Alot of parents likely think its kids being kids…so what…we all did stupid things! Too many parents are more concerned with the popularity of their child then the interaction and discipline of right and wrong. I see 7th and 8th graders hoping in and out of cars with their HS boyfriends and parents i think its great. As one parent said, “letting her have a boyfriend prevents her from sneaking behind our back.” Hello, when you arent home, she’s sneaking him in the house. What happened to the NO, from parents?
My two recent heroes are Pilot Chesley Sullenberger and Captain Phillips ~ two great men!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
I wonder if the defense lawyer would be pleased if his daughter or granddaughter chose th reveal all to some trolling teenage guy. Evidently he has no problem with teen age sexual activties.
I have brought that to their attention Anita. I’ve seen fewer complaints but obviously it is still going on.
Do you have your pop up blocker turned on?
I haven’t seen anything about it Betty, but like you I’ve heard some stories.
chas
Good morning Alisyn, all
I briefly saw the homecoming reunion between the capt and his family. I always feel a bit creepy peeking in on what seems to me to be such a private intimate moments for the family. I put myself in that situation and I would be mortified if the world looked in on me in that situation. Needless to say we were all thrilled this situation turned out so positively. All winners….. all to be apllauded.
The Brown University/ Columbus controversy seems to me to be something that can be addressed in the class room. I think they (native American’s) would be better to put their energies and monies towards improving education of early native American history (at all age levels) instead of focusing on a sir name of an individual whom landed on our shores. Most of “holidays” are based on stories that aren’t necessarily a true reflection of history. Let the name be and improve education.
I was not offended by the Burger King ad but if it didn’t sell many kids meals pull it! I think all of us talking about the ad will gain more attention then any ad they could possibly run.
jimmy/all–yes, that was actually the FakeAlert Trojan–
other bloggers–if you also got that popup, run a REAL virus scan of your computer, even if you X’d out of it. You’re probably now infected with the FakeAvAlert Trojan
Alisyn/Foxnews–
Please scan your website pages, it was definitely a link/ad on your pages that produced the popup that infects with the FakeAVAlert Trojan.
Anita in VA,
I got hit with that virus pop-up two weeks in a row. It shut me down for an hour or so the first time.
I was afraid to do anything. I ran every scan possible & never found a thing.
To your “Superpages” contest this morning…..How about a service called “Poop and Scoop” They come to your home, pick up and dispose of doggie Ummmmm do-do from your yard. BTW – I watch F&F EVERY MORNING…..starts my day off right.
Dom
Olin, we love Dennis MIller! He is a riot when he gets on a roll! I was also amazed at the CNN reporter interrupting the young man with the baby trying to claim his state was getting so much money “from” the government- where does this clueless babe think this money comes from in the first place, the sky? Aly and you guys on Fox must not have slept through basic economics in journalism school like this babe did.
Re your segment on “sexting” – clearly there needs to be something in place to replace the lack of parental oversight many teens are taking advantage of, but the solution is certainly does not rest with charging these teens and even pre-teens with sex-crimes.
When you allow cameras in the hands of hormonal children, you will produce childish results — but these are not sex offenders. Shame on the prosecutors for having no common sense.
Chas–
Thanks.
I do have popups in Internet Explorer Disabled, but it isn’t an Internet Explorer popup–its the Windows Explorer popup.
My Symantec OnAccess scanner grabbed it, even when I X’d out of it.
Good Morning one and all, enjoying the show as I always do on Saturday mornings. I’m watching it over my shoulder. Good show thus far, keep up the good work!
Anita from VA. I get those popups sometimes and I have to shut down my computer to get rid of it.
My protection says there is no problem, so it must be somrthing that is in the Fox system. I am sure that they are receiving attacks all the time.
Another potentially dangerous virus attacked my BW’s computer yesterday while she was in Peachtree doing payroll. It was a Microsoft screen, that looked authentic, that said her Windows XP was counterfeit and she needed to pay $149.95 to get an authentic version. According to our computer guru, if she had sent a credit card number, our accounts would have been cleaned out. They repaired over fifty computers yesterday alone for the same problem. I don’t know the source.

Navy Seal deserves the credit do them! Hands down.
I do NOT think the President deserves credit for this rescue. I think he only commented and claimed involvement when it was successful. Had it gone the other way, they wanted room to shift the blame. I think this is a cynical bunch who does nothing that isn’t politically motivated and I think they despise the military.
Fellow bloggers–
I was in NYC last weekend and had tickets for Gov Mike Huckabee’s show–what a great experience. Saw the inside workings of the studio–and Gov Huckabee came out into the Plaza after the show and personally chatted with everyone, posed for pictures to be taken. His guest was Kathy Ireland and we were able to chat with her, too. Great experience (save the drive from the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott to Fox Studios! LOL)

Ohhhh please …. Why give credit to Obama for any part of thr hostage rescue…..It’s his job to give the order and FINALLY he did something right…..but then went right back to his old failing, selling out America ways in Mexico and with Chavez.
As for Gorafalo needs to find another place to live. BTW….why even give her air time? She should just be ignored.
Anita I wished Id known you were in the city too I could have met with you too
Captain Phillips and his family don’t seem to be the least bit camera shy about their reunion being shown across the world ~ what is wrong with showing a genuinely loving, happy family’s homecoming, personally I think it’s wonderful!
God Bless America ~ Let Freedom Ring!

Good Morning Alisyn and everyone
I like Columbus day, it gives all the Italian-Americans one day…to say its our day.. that an Italian discovered this great country of ours,
I rememeber in 2001 President Bush said that he would change it to Italian-American day,
but with 9/11 and the war just.. to many things happened and couldnt get around to do it,
I say leave it alone people… let it go we have other problems to worry about.
The Navy Seals got the job done, so they should get the credit,
I say let the Military do their job, even Captian Phillips said that.
and Garofalo is out there….. way out there.. what she said is disgraceful.
and I hear a lot of people say that this Administration is going out of its way to undermine the last Administration and the American people, and I have to agree.
Alisyn,
Although I am as far right as Obama is left, I really admire your professional discipline in not revealing your personal political inclinations. Susan Roesgen could take a lesson from you. Don’t change.

Hiya Fox and Friends Saturday!
Garofoolo’s totally biased rant is just another reason why I stopped watching MSNBC, CNN and the networks for news.
Thanks for being fair and balanced.
Me–
yes, next time I’ll advertise on the blog–I did try to login last saturday morning to let everyone know that i was in nyc, but when i got the fake virus alert, i shut down.
terrible weather on last saturday, but still got out to the Huckabee show and then attended Easter Vigil Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral–highlight of the weekend. another great experience.
worked all week but was able to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday in the sunshine before heading to the airport to come home.
Here’s the only question I have for Janeane Garofalo. She wants to come out and constantly bash conservatives and what they stand for. Wants to join PMSNBC (Thanks Rush!) and the bleeding heart liberals on that “news” orginization. Yet, here’s my question. . . if she feels this strongly against conservatism in America, why in the world did she take a role on 24 to get a paycheck?!?!
PS- I did solve a crime when I made that Chocolate dessert..yes I did…I now know why my
butt is so big…haha
John…some now refer to it as PMSNBC LOL
When did Burger King pull there ad? The Reason I ask is it was playing on the tv Last nite. I like the song but when you have small Kids it is very DISTASTEFUL!!!
I also want to tell You I Love Your Show!!!!
Also i think that Brown U need to Quot trying to rewite history. I has a lot of people in Pitts upset because of their Italian-Americans Hertiage!! If it was for Columbus we may not be in the USA . I am Getting Upest that people are changing things that have been part of are History for Decades. THAT IS WHY IT IS CALLED HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Good Saturday Morning!
The actions taken by the Navy and the orders given by President Obama were EXACTLY what we should have and did do. Pirates are terrorists and the US does NOT negotiate.
My brother has been an US Marine for 20 years and served in Iraq. One American life is no different than 100 American lives. As a US citizen it is our responsibility to take an event such as Captian Phillips and handle it EXACTLY as was done by the SEALS and the US President. I am proud to say I crossed party lines and voted for President Obama. No regrets here and if anyone still thinks he doesn’t know how to handle a threat… think again. I’m proud of our Navy, our SEALS and of our President. Hopefully the rest of the world will stop “giving in,” and start following our lead in ending these types of situations.
God Bless,
Rhonda in Illinois
Good Morning Betty
I think that a lot of people should be given credit for the captain’s rescue from the crew, the captain, the navy seals and the president. More action like this needs to be taken to stop these pirates. I feel that this is getting totally out of control and it seems like so many countries are just willing to pay the ransom and hope that it just goes away.
I don’t agree with Garofalo’s comments (for the most part) but you guys criticizing Olbermann for not stopping or questioning her is a bit hypocritical. Pretty much daily Fox brings out super conservative guests to comment on stories (Ann Coulter, Cal Thomas to name a few) and never are they stopped or questioned or criticized for their comments. At least Olbermann isn’t claiming to be fair and balanced.
I have seen this garofalo interview several times–and it just floors me every time. where in the world is she coming from???

Is this proof enough that Obama is NOT a Christian?
President Obama speaks about the economy at Georgetown University’s Gaston Hall in Washington. The school covered up religious symbols bearing the name of Jesus during Obama’s remarks at the behest of the White House. Shame on Georgetown for allowing anyone to come into own their house and dictate that they suppress symbols of their own faith. This is frightening reminicense of communism.
But Obama bows before the king of Islamic Saudi Arabia!
Hi Alisyn,
America is the greatest force for GOOD the world has ever seen. For the President to go around apologizing for our country is bad enough. And now the rest of world will see him doing a buddy buddy handshake with an anti-American thug. What signal does THAT send to the developing world??
Other than that—Have a great day!!

Hey Garofalo, do you even know what the Tea Party was about?
Taxed
Enough
Already
Read a book lady.

Perhaps Brown University should change it’s name. Wasn’t the founder a slave trader?
I really like the idea of the Fair Tax, pay only at the point of consumption ~ yes, I like it a lot!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Garofalo must be able to read minds. Be careful what your thinking this AM. LOL
As do I betty, as long as they get off the 23% rate. That is not a tax it’s a consumption fine.
chas
The authority was already SOP and the Incident Commander at the scene had all the authority he needed under our rules of engagement. Also, I understand he shouldn’t have come out to give operational details on the rescue effort, but he completely dismissed the question at the press conference saying “we’re talking about housing now” not even wishing the Captain well, ask for our prayers. He COULD and SHOULD have said something like we are doing everything in our power..he said NOTHING..
also, here is a good article on how the deal went down from one of the most reputable military blogs on the Internet.
the commander on scene already had the authority to deal with an imminent death situation in his standing rules of engagement. It means that when this situation was escalated to national command authority i.e. Obama those rules were suspended and Obama implemented new ones specific to this incident. Then he had to restore the authority the captain already had to use deadly force to save a hostage from execution. There is considerable talk that the initial new ROE that Obama instituted did not allow a rescue so as to allow the negotiations to proceed, and then a second set of ROE was instituted after the Navy could not respond to Captain Phillip’s escape attempt. That is unconfirmed but fits the facts as they happened.

48 year-old Grand Mother of two and working CARPENTER. I would love to invite Garofalo to spend eight hours with me at work while I explain to her my reasons for being OUTRAGED at the spending in Washington. Black Bashing? My twelve and fourteen year-old biracial nephews think that I am COOL!
Re: Vermont’s Refreshing effort to bring sanity into child porn laws
If a child is too young to legally consent to a sexual act, then who, in their right mind, would deem that they should be legally accountable for the act? Yet that is exactly what is happening, time, and time, and time again: not just in Vermont, but in several states.
It is abject madness to prosecute kids for doing the very things that the law has deemed they are too young to consent to and be accountable for. How can you, on one hand, say that children are too young to consent to an act; then, on the other hand, hold them legally accountable for an act? MADNESS!!!
The spirit that drives such prosecutions is the same spirit that drove witch hunters and mobs. It is heartless, illogical, and vicious.
Vermont’s proposed law (legalizing sexting) protects children from being exploited by careerist prosecutors who lack any semblance of prosecutorial discretion and seem wont to “notch” their “hard on crime” gun at the expense of the very children the laws were designed to protect.
Kudos to Vermont for reigning in these idiot prosecutors and judges ; I would that more states would follow suit.
A poll showing that the majority of Americans think they should pay less in taxes? Shocking. Of course we don’t like being taxed, but we don’t want to pay separately for services that the government provides either. I’m all for consumption tax–as long as it’s ridiculous, non-essential luxury items that are taxed the most.
Oh and by the way, I am white!!! lol
Betty,
I, too, like the Fair Tax. Let’s face it–when times are tough and we consume less, our taxes will be less. When times are good, and we spend more, taxes will be more. It is directly proportional.
Aw chas, that would only be $46,000 tax on a $200,00 car – hey, look at the bright side! Let Britney, Lindsay, Paris and others start contributing!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Huckabee is dead wrong. He is buying into the ’separation of church and state’ crap. It is just as important, maybe more so, that our president not dismiss the religion of the people of this country. It really is not all about money all the time.
Garofalo should have been thrown into Boston Harbor! The comment she makes about people being racist; and then calls them “rednecks” seems to be a bit contradicting. Has conservativism become a race?
Dave – Atlanta
oops, I missed a pesky little 0 ~ $300,000 car ~ ✈ ✈ ✈
the only thing I was dissapointed about last week at the Huckabee show–his band didn’t perform and instead they had Rick Springsteen perform with him, but….it was previously taped, so we didn’t get to see it live.
Jimmy, it’s PMSDNC with a D. LOL
I continue to be amazed at the “importance” that the media gives comments and statements made by “Hollywood stars” on politics. Where did they get the title of political specialists or their doctorate in political history?? What makes their opinion so important? Why does anyone care what they say about anything?? I just can’t believe the attention and publicity they get.
Hope you all have a great day! It is beautiful in Augusta GA and we are off to our children’s ballgames. We are grassroots Americans for sure

George Soros or somebody must be paying Janeane Garofalo to put on a performance… she can’t possibly be so ignorant. Of course, after seeing Jay Leno’s “Jaywalking” segments…
Ali, its probably too late to ask the Governor but is Willie appearing with Asleep at the Wheel. His latest album ” Willy and the Wheel” is Texas Swing at its best! My cousins kid is the fiddle player with Ray Benson and the group.

Good morning Alisyn:
I went to a tea party and I do not fit any of the profiling that the leftists are attributing to me LOL>
Square pants offensive? What do you call all the bumping and grinding on MTV?
Columbus Day hmmmmm. I feel sorry for all the stupid people that some how get into college these days. So easily taken advantage of by leftists on campus. Very sad. Well, maybe when they grow up and start paying taxes they will re-think the important things in life.

Good morning Alisyn,
I’m finally up, and have my cupa, watching the best show on t.v., for sure! I’m with you Alisyn…let’s crash Huck’s show. I love Willy Nelson!! I got up to the segment on smiles, and was trying to remember if I was smiling in my HS picture? Hummmmm…would have to look, cause I’ll be darned if I can remember!!! I’ve been “smilin’” for a lot of years, and do recommend it as the remedy for much in life, as it is good for the spirit, in my opinion. And of course, makes your face so much prettier when age takes over!!
I think the tea baggers are great!
The more tight shots we get on their placards, the more the networks show people trying to explain why a 3 percent tax cut is a bad thing, the more we see all white guys running around with tea bags hanging from their hats with signs of Obama dressed as Hitler, the more we hear people not being able to define fascism and how we now have a fascist President while being interviewed on TV ( now there is an oxymoron) the better it is for my side.
The independents were turned off with the angry tone and the true intent of the protestors shined through in plain daylight instead of hiding behind the code word of ’silent majority”.
I say when is the next protest?
Sorry about the double post earlier. I got a security pop-up while trying to submit. Such an irritation. The people that waste their time trying to interfere with internet communications and hack into systems are the ones that should be tortured.
Obama should get no credit for the captians safe return. The Navy seals did their jobs and the White House kept quiet just in case in didn’t turn out well. The White House staff is smart to keep Obama just a step away from any and all negative impact but go over board with anything positive.

I agree Kim, 48 year-old Grand Mother of two and working CARPENTER. I would love to invite Garofalo to spend eight hours with me at work while I explain to her my reasons for being OUTRAGED at the spending in Washington. Black Bashing? My twelve and fourteen year-old biracial nephews think that I am COOL!
Lets contact the writers of “24″ and demand that she be Goroffolo be fired!
Seems like this Administration is constantly needing to “apolozing” for something. Unfortunately, they don’t do that enough to the American people, but instead they apologize to the world (i.e., the recent “apology tour” in Europe).
What about apologizing to the US for bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia, the “bro” handshake with the anti-American Chavez, the comment about the US being elitest in Europe (who, by the way, would be speaking German if it was for the veterans ….ohhh, wait…potential terrorists in WWII).
Or how about blaming the US for the Mexican violence. Then there is appointing a cabinet that cannot figure out how to stay within the law. Or PRINTING money with nothing to back it up….making my children and their children pay for their mistake. (can you say TEA as defines above)…..and we are still in the first 6 months……
All you posters out there are awesome….I enjoy reading ALL your points of view, even those I dont agree with.
Only 2 shootings in Chicago? Must have been a slow day for the mobsters.

Alisyn,
Garafola {sp} definitely is a very very very good example of the “smile theory”. Her face definitely reflects few smiles in her lifetime, which matches her incredible remarks the other day, so no one should be surprised I must think? She is not relevant at all. I could care less what this insignificant woman had to say, hum?
She’s gotten a bit of free press, however, so good for her!!!
Good morning Erik.
Deborah! I am a 49 yo mother of 11 and grandmother of 4 who was working Wed and couldn’t take my children to the Tea Party here. What a great home school field trip that would have been

Marine,
Thanks for your service and also thanks for jumping in. I hope that you will continue to join in.

jonah, Obigot certainly isn’t a Christian but he’s not a Muslim either.
He’s more some sort of perverted deist who, like Hitler, believes his own ridiculous hype about being a messiah.
Good morning Betty,
Ha! I wanted to be up at 6a, but slumbered late, this morning, boo hoo! Hubby woke me up, as he headed out the door to the store. I hope he brings cookies home!!!!!!
Kim, it is exciting to see people join together in trying to creat change in Our Government. We need to take our country back from the corruption in Washington
what did Garafalo ever do to get on TV, was she on SNL ? always thought she was a weirdo, modern day Jane Fonda I suppose
The Burger King ad is just sad! Obviously the ad guys haven’t any good ideas.
I was halfway homebound Wednesday and unable to attend any tea parties in my town, but while walking the dogs and getting a ride to an appointment later in the day, I saw a small airplane towing a teabag banner – what a beautiful site against the blue skies, and I felt included in a tea party!

Good morning Alisyn,
Do you all at Fox News have individual email addresses? I’ve been trying all week sending emails directly to the shows giving you all a teaser story about homeland security and some unbelievable things that they’ve done. The Obama aministration has done everything possible to keep it quiet, but they can’t quiet the victims. How can I contact you?
Burger King ad—I think any of their commericals with their King in is is freaky and creepy.
I think that if these people actually had to survive in this life they wouldn’t have time to waste on things like this.
Yet another case of people with way too much time on their hands. Please use some of that time to get a life.

Good Morning, Everyone; Whoa, Ms Ali: my favorite purple dress – if I had known, I would have gotten going earlier!
Not sure what’s going on this am – I saw chas talking about his tail feathers and almost went elsewhere!
speaking of it “going straight your butt”…have ya’ll noticed that fast food restaurants have the calories posted ont their menu boards? or is that only in NYC?
Whoa, Get Down, Ms Ali!
oh alisyn….you have now fueled the blog comments. LOL
yes Anita !! that King is soooooo creepy, like the old ads where he was outside the window, gave me nightmares !
Shake that butt Alisyn.
Hey Sal:
How about we name an Al Qaeda Day and see what happens, eh? Rude, I know but it seems like every thing traditional is going out the window. Don’t these idiots on college campuses realize that Native Americans took eachother captive and made slaves of their captives and murdered each other. Sheesh!
Meanwhile, while these goofs protest these “holidays” our country is being sold out from underneath us all!
Morning cap. Stick around, I used tail feathers instead of something that could have gotten me in trouble…lol

Morning Queen of the Goons ~ I flipped the tv on at 6 a.m. just to be sure Ali wasn’t sneaking in an early show ~ I wouldn’t want to miss it, but no she wasn’t so I went back to sleep for a half hour. Walked the pups & fed ‘em got my coffee and I was right on time! Hope you get your cookies!

Way to go Aly! You got the moves Babe!
The Sir Mix-a-Lot/Burger King ad was hilarious! I love things that make me laugh without having to think. My kids saw it and broke into dance, so that song is apparently timeless!
Thomas Jefferson was a big fan of flame-broiled burgers.
Marine,
Good morning, and welcome to this most wonderful place to be!!! It is awesome, for sure. I agree, and do have the old soldier living here with us. He would be stunned to know that after all his years as a soldier, he is now considered a “threat” to the USA, hum? He considers our new prez a “foolish young man”, and I must agree with him absolutely. For those of us who thought he might be, are horrified to discover he is exactly who we thought he might be, and not the “great leader”, the dem party told us he was. Thank you for your brave service…my father also thanks you!!
Rednecks? I couldn’t get my redneck co-workers to join me at these tea parties. They are to busy working on their cars for week-end racing….
Alisyn,
Great moves. Lots of smiles.
Good morning Anita in VA…
is it true that the Marines teach the Seals how to shoot and become marksmen, or do they have their own training ?
Thats just funny. I love my red-neck co-workers. If you knew them you would too….LOL
Did any one see the Daily Show where John compared the Obama crowds to the Tea Party crowds?
How disengenuous can he be?
Janet Nepalitano needs to go! How disgraceful.
The Burger King ad is appalling because it advertises the KIDS’ MEAL and targets children. If it advertised an adult sandwich TO adults, I wouldn’t have a problem.
As to the Square Pants add. Have any of these outraged parents watched the actual show?! There are NUMEROUS adult oriented references that children don’t get but any adult would. I have a 2 year old that watches the show alot and I sat and watched a few episodes with her and was suprised at some of the subtle sexual type references. I mean come on! they live in a place called “Bikini Bottom” and sell Crusty Crab Cakes. DUH! so if you are gonna pull the BK add you need to pull SEVERAL of the episodes if not SHOW! these parents need to lighten up and/or realize that to much censoreship can lead to nieve and sheltered children.

I’m confused, how can she withdraw a Bush assessment?
We had a great Tea Party in Palm Desert. Even had a retired Captain from the RCMP, wearing kilt, playing God Bless America on the bagpipes [mixed metaphor, I guess, but rousing nonetheless]. Not many big butts, though!
We do love Alisyn in purple!!! Royal color, ya know, so is fitting for our royal lady, I think? lol
I think we are watching “The Fall” part of America. A president who has little to no pride in our country. Cabinet members who are tripping over themselves to insult red-blooded Americans. Government officials who are unable to call things as they are in order to appeal to dictators of other countries. Meh!
Burger King/Sponge Bob ad — it IS ridiculous, and it negative towards women…b/c it uses Sponge Bob, people think it’s funny (guess you have to 1st enjoy Sponge Bob). There is NOTHING good about a lady shoving her [now squared-off] backside to be ooggled by others.
Also — just saying the ad is meant for parents is pretty shallow, too — have we all forgotten how attentive kids are to commercials? give me a break, let’s ALL grow up!
The Burger King Ad is advertising Kids meals and the end of the ad has a guy dressed like a pimp saying “Booty is Booty”
Alisyn,you are awesome.These people who are complaining should just turn the tv off and let the rest of us decide for ourselves if we want to watch the commercial or not
Garofalo was DEAD ON! Conservative Republicans and FOX Network are so transparent to the rest of the world watching!! RED NEK BIGOTS!!!
Its like watching really trashy Reality TV with a bunch of suits!
**Fair & Balanced** Thats Funny Fox!!!
It will be a big day when something really bad happens and they all have to go back and look at their notes to figure out what to call it, who to attribute it to, and who to blame for causing the bad thing.
Good morning Alisyn,
Now that you have danced for us; they can just take their commercial off the air—–you rock!
Gini, does that mean that purple is your favorite color?
carolynro, you have no idea how bad Napolitano needs to go. She and the Obama administration are hiding something that the American people have the right to know about. The story deals with homeland security officers and kidnap for hire. And a secret prison in the U.S. that the officers used to house the kidnap victims. Deplorable conditions. The FBI has freed these people, but the Obama administration and Napolitano has done everything possible to keep it quiet. NO more though, expect a huge story to come out soon. The administration can’t keep the victims quiet
Why would Alisyn snicker and laugh at the eyebrows of the woman who won Britains American Idol ? After all, of all the women on FOX Alisyn is the least attractive and is too in a need of a makeover.
J,
I would like to see your sources on this please.
chas
tHE BURGER-KING COMMERCIAL WAS THE WORST AND MOST DISTATEFUL EXHIBITION I HAVE EVER SEEN ON FOX NEWS. iF YOU THREE FIND IT SO OUTSTANDING YOU SHOULD RELOCATE TO CNN WHERE YOU WILL FIND A MORE APPROIATE ATMOSHERE..!!!
It’s so nice to see a “happy ending” with Capt. Phillips! Glad to see him home!
Even though the Burger King ad is geared towards adults, kids will still be exposed to it while watching TV, especially if they like Spongebob. It’s not something I would want my kids seeing since it has sexual innuendo. We do need to be careful with what our kids watch. What goes in, will come out. If advertisements are going to target adults, they shouldn’t use children’s characters, symbols, etc that would catch the eyes of the children.
The amount of political correctness in society these days is outrageous. We are destroying the rich history of our country. We cannot cater to each and every individual; these are not the opinions of the mass society. Though we are going through hard times today, this is still a great country, and we need to embrace that which our great country was founded on.
Gini: “We do love Alisyn in purple!!! Royal color, ya know, so is fitting for our royal lady, I think?”

I know we are not supposed to dwell on that subject here, largely because our Ali is a delightfully humble person, but she seems to be glowing and radiant this morning!
I automatically block out many commercials, the Burger King has always creeped me out. I haven’t noticed the Sponge Bob one, but as I said I automatically block.

Oh my! Let’s see, Christmas is now “Winter Break” Halloween is ” Fall Celebration” Easter is “Spring Break” so let’s change the rest. President’s Day can be ” Those Who Use to Be in Charge of America” We can not even call it The United States anymore because we are United. People this is HISTORY, not HATE. We need all of our citizens to learn the difference. My family came to America on a boat. My husbands family, well they fought in The Civil War. Our children would never have known that if WE did not teach them history. Our schools skirt by known facts in schools in fear of hurting someone’s feelings. Our children will never learn HISTORY, only HATE. Someone opened the door to this crazy, unneeded antics of suing those who hurt your feelings. Suck it up people. If everyone was to teach their children the differences in all cultures and yet still were able to show how this country has changed for the better in the last 100 years alone, then the intire United Staes would live in a more harmonious UNITED country. There are those in history who we are not proud of, but our history is what this country was built on. I beg you, don’t just critize those who want the generic lablel placed on our history but stand up, teach, fight for the right to prevent ignorance in our country. Be heard. Believe. Let the world know Those who ignore history…tend to repeat it.
Whoa, are you nuts, Butts???? Utterly off-base and absolutely inaccurate – Ms Ali is a gem in all ways!!!
Chas, I am the source. It has affected my family directly. We had been harassed along with our attorney and an FBI agent by Homeland Security for over 5 months. Our attorney and FBI agent working our case were kidnapped by HS. Obama can contact the NCAA champs, can pic his bracket, go on the Leno show and give the Capt. who was kidnapped by pirates a phone call, but doesn’t have time to contact any of the victims of these HS officers.
when is Courtney Freil gonna be on agaoin ?
Wow Seymour Butts, ,you and I definitely have different views of attractive, evidently. I think Alisyn is a great looking lady with great taste in clothing, my downfall!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Thank you Garofolo for your comments about redneck tea parties. I am by nature a “passive” conservative who has not become an “active” conservative. I hope her comments inspire more like me to become more active to save our country.
The President did not contribute anything extraordinary to the mission. The actions of the Navy SEALS in any other case would have been a standing order related to any wartime situation. I applaud the President for not taking credit for his involvement, and I applaud the Navy SEALS for their exceptional and successful mission.
My comment is in response to the SpongeBob Burger King ad – My household loves SpongeBob, but we do not like this ad at all. As a matter of fact, it was on yesterday evening, and my 16 yr old daughter, said ” If I were a parent, I’d be upset about this!” So, that spoke volumes to me, as a parent. It’s funny that you had this on speaking about it this morning, because I had wondered why I hadn’t heard anyone else complaining about it before. I know they say it is marketed to adults, but if that’s true why is it advertising kid’s meals??? (or am I wrong about that?) Well, I personally can’t stand the creepy king – last night when the ad was on, I had made the comment “you know I really don’t like many Burger King ads” to which my hubby replied : “I think you’ve made that quite clear before!” haha
I cannot believe you 3 acted like stooges this morning shaking your behinds like drunk ducks. You perpetuated that commercial for Burger Puke. Do you not have a moral left in your perverted bones? Really? Seriously? Do you honestly want YOUR mom, sisters, daughters, wives behinds leared at by the likes of Sir Mix a Lot? Do you really want to see your father, sons, brothers objectifying women’s behinds or fronts or anything? Talk about small minded and moral-less.
I happened to have discovered that my husband is a sex addict. You cannot believe the impact that such commercials have in our house. It is the UNNECESSARY CRAP like that that has about destroyed this family. Your problems are that you three are guilty of not knowing what you don’t know. You can’t imagine the pain, humiliation, degredation, gut wrenching hell the wife of an addict goes through.
Basically if you haven’t walked a mile in the shoes of the ones that disagree, do NOT laugh at us or make light of our points of view. Yes, opinions are like …???. Today I think there were 3 on F&F.
Yes, I changed the channel. You lost me as a viewer.
Sexting!!
To “brand” a 13yr old a “sex offender” for the rest of their lives, is just STUPID! Its a fact that the “BRAIN” of a 13yr old has not developed their reasoning skills. That wont come till later.
Maby the schools should put sports back into the system. It builds Carecter(?)! The kids have too much time & energy on their hands & should be “playing” instead of thinking of “SEX”
JoAnn @ Roxanne
well yeah, guess your right cap & betty, but she made me made when she and the 2 guys with her laughed at that womans looks who won the British Idol show
Hm…, Garofalo…, what is a redneck?
I have a solution for the Bown University students. CLOSE the school, kick them all out and require all politically correct students to provide an open outdoor space to conduct their classes. Also tear the building down and make it a park. Do this to every school that has a history the politically correct clowns do not like. Name changes do nothing to fix the history of a school, it only hides it like the liberal agenda..
It isn’t parents who pay close attention to commercials…it’s always the kids! So why would we think “ladies” shaking their “boot-ays” w/a square form, is humorous? How can that promote anything positive about how we view women? ‘I like square butts’ — wow. what a theme for any food selling company. yeehaw. No wonder the country has problems. Burger King may not be in the top running for fast food, but it definitely lost points w/this ad. And I have NEVER understood why people (“adults”) think Spong Bob/Square Pants was a GOOD show??? again, no wonder.
how often does your husband have sex with you Angela ?
After the Burger King as where the king is staring in windows like a stalker, peeping tom, (very creepy) I am surprised their sales have not plumetted. Makes you wonder if they are trying to go under in hopes of a bail out, or are they not big enough to fail.
Good morning Cap,
Another example of my “smile theory”, of course. Her smile is magnificent!! I’m whispering too, as we do know Aly is slightly embarrassed when we “go on”, hum?
Seymour, may I refer you to a good opthamologist?
Angela, I am sorry for your personal problems at you home, with your husband’s addiction. However that does not give you the right to declare dancing immoral because of in-home problems. You did the correct thing in changing the channel if your household can’t watch dancing, and I sincerely wish your family the very best, but I think professional help might be necessary.

The Brown University should be honored. Columbus didn’t discover America, Erik the Red was here years before him on Baffin Island.
Hmmm…. Ronald Reagan shook hands with Mikhail Gorbachev… Richard Nixon met with Nikita Krushchev… And Krushchev stood at the UN slammed his shoe on the table and stated “We will crush you…”
What say you… Its about using soft power…
Well darn it anyway!!!! I have NEVER seen the Burger King commercial, and if it was shown this morning, I missed it. The citizen should always object to that which is inappropriate, and can do so quite effectively with their pocket book. A letter or two, also helps this along, of course. We must continue to stay pro active, but it is an exhausting exercise!!! whew!
I already have 4 eyes DOG
Seymour,
You are getting out of line here. Please try and reserve such comments for a place where it is more appropriate. That BTW, is NOT here.

I cant believe that anyone would have a problem with Alisyn shaking that awesome butt,

czar
One entry found.
Here is the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of czar
Main Entry:czar
Variant(s):also tsar or tzar \ˈzär, ˈ(t)sär\
Function:noun
Etymology:New Latin czar, from Russian tsar’, from Old Russian tsĭsarĭ, from Gothic kaisar, from Greek or Latin; Greek, from Latin Caesar — more at caesar
Date:1555
1: emperor ; specifically : the ruler of Russia until the 1917 revolution
2: one having great power or authority
— czar·dom also tsar·dom or tzar·dom \ˈzär-dəm, ˈ(t)sär-\ noun
Our president is appointing all these czars – is he giving them total authority? Do they have to get approval for what they do? I personally dislike the term as it has a connotation of a loss of freedom and democracy.
As for Garafalo, she is just another Hollywood type who thinks that makes her smarter than anyone else and she should be ignored instead of getting all the publicty she is getting.
That handshake with Chavez is just more campaigning for Obsconfuscating Obama who thinks the American people are too ignorant and uncaring to know what his real objectives are.
Seymour, perhaps you just need a new TV.
Burger King just creeps me out. I don’t go there and my kids think it’s creepier than I do.
Seymour,
Geezzz, honey!! How far back should we go with this anyway? I wasn’t aware that the Vikings opened the America’s to Europe? Did they? hummm…must look into that, as I missed it along the way. Many prob hit our coast line along the way, but Columbus gets the cred, so deal with it!!! Geezzzz…need another cupa on that one!
I am merely pointing out the rules that Ms Alisyn has laid down. I’m not trying to be a boss, just posting a reminder.
Civility is the order of the day here as per Ms. Alisyn’s request.
chas
Much more talk about Burger King and their ad and I’m going to have to leave and get a flame-broiled!!! And shake my booty.
no Dog, seen HD and I think that shows too much detail of peoples faces, redness, pimples, etc.
I think shaking hands is what gentlemen/statesmen do when greeting another individual?
Chas …. It was MY honor to serve my country….but thank you. It is a country I would have and still would give my life for and I hate to see what is happening to it. PLEASE everyone….let your voices be heard and vote in each end every election. That is the ONLY way we can see the real “change” that needs to happen.
If you have problems with the “square butt” commercial, wait till you see the Burger King commercial where Padma is eating a sandwich. You would have a hard time trying to decide what is for sale.
I can understand quoting Garafolo’s comment on the show… but, quoting Keith Olbermann’s?!
SEXTING!!!!
To”brand” a 13yr old a Sex offender” the rest of their lives for sexting photos of “themselves”is not right! IT”S A PROVEN FACT that the brain of a 13yr old has not developed the ability to “REASON”. The brain developes in stages, & the reasoning stage doesnt come till much later.The kids should be playing & having fun just being a kid! Put sports & activities back in the schools,& the kids might have something else to think about instead of SEX!
JOAnn & Roxanne
Mornin, alisyn. Olbermann is what happens when you try to give relevence to a sportscaster!. Janenine Garafalo needs to get a life, a MAN!, and someone who thinks she can act. Are there any two people in this country that matter less?
Garafalo knows that saying the outrageous keeps her on the guest list of liberal commentary shows because she offers nothing else. The “tea-bagging” references don’t offend me. I’m more amused at how that’s the only joke they have and whenever one of them uses it, they all have the same stupid look on their face like they’re the only one who thought of it.
Alisyn,
It was always too much money for not nearly enough food, for those six kiddlings of mine. Opted to fix lots of good food right in my own kitchen!
I don’t go to fast food places ever, so cannot really comment on any of it.
yes Gini, but the Vikings weren’t here long. Archeology finds showed that they did have a camp on Baffin Island. They traded with the Natives, but when they traded goats milk, the Natives being lactose intolorant, got sick. They thought the Vikings poisoned them then they fought and chased the Vikings away.
im just waiting for obama to make himself king of the world. looks to me like he thinks he is already the one world leader , not the president of america.
I agree with chas. This is not the place for insecure people to obtain attention by gratuitously attacking people with hurtful comments.
Garafalo comment
If the tea party really was a hate Obama rally…they rally’s would have burned him in effigy, just like…hmmmmmmm…the left wing efforts and rallys to end the war in Iraq….didnt they burn Bush in Effigy? She is really a strange person…and I think we give movie stars to much air time…to the point they think they really do know what there talking about…..
There is no sense in all of these czars, what about the Department of Homeland Security, who will have the actual authority, DHS or the border czar? What about accountability of all these czars? I don’t like it ~

Good morning Sal! Beautiful day here in Ohio, finally!!! I really would like to put those darn boots away, and set my piggy’s FREE FREE FREE!!!

Erik….I love purple! Red heads can wear that color, ya know? Calming also…an added advantage, of course. lol
yeah Gini, guess Columbus should be credited for something. I wonder why we are called America after Amerigo Vespuci ? What did that dude do ?
I love that Janeane. Her ignorance is my entertainment.
All I could think about during the commercial was Wendy’s and their square hamburgers!
I think that shaking someone’s hand should be reserved for those worthy of respect.
Like the Burger King ads I block out, scroll past the negative hurtful posts, and consider the source.

I had the same thought Ms. Cindy. That and how creepy the King looks.

Betty,
How better to reward those that supported the party, but with a job as Czar, hum? Of course, it’s ridiculous, but they have ALL THAT MONEY, to spend, and it certainly was never intended for the citizen, of course. Makes perfect sense to me, in this weird moment we are witnessing.
Chas ….. it was MY honor to serve my country ….. but thank you. It is a country i would have and still would give my life for and I hate seeing what is happening to it. PLEASE everyone, let your voices be heard and VOTE in each and every election…from the smallest local to the National…that is the only way we can get the real “change” happening.
Thanks for the welcome
Hi,
I was really offended by the Burger King/Sponge Bob ad. I am a mother of two teenagers and, I think there are enough ads out there using sex to sale! This ad is for kids meals, and as parents we don’t need to be targeted by sexuality, we have nagging kids that are not afraid to tell us what they want. If I am not mistaken at the end of the ad Sir-mix-a lot is on saying “booty is booty” and that really upset me! If that isn’t what he said please let me know. A child may not be able to understand what he means by that but my teenagers are!
Todays show has been great. you crazy people make my day . love you all. the dance was so funny. thank you foxandfriends. all my best to you all.
Wasn’t it Nixon who appointed the first tsar? Anyone know ? I don’t remember, I do remember Reagan’s drug czar, and of course we had the bird flu tsar, and the Katrina czar…
chas, why are you then being disrespectful to Alisyns husband by calling her Ms Alisyn when in fact she is a Mrs ! practice what you preach bro !
Dog, that’s a tough call when you’re referring to Obummer & Chavez. Respect? I guess Obummer only that he is the current president (?) of the United States of America. Yikes!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Alisyn as I watched you dance this morning you looked like a young lady just out of college not a mother of three. Definately a “HOT MOM”. Always look forward to watching you, Dave, and Claton on weekend mornings. You guys really have fun.
Thanks for the great entertainment.
Bill
Seymour is correct re the Vikings. However, it is interesting that when the discussion comes up about who discovered “America,” it frequently boils down to a debate between Columbus and the Vikings, forgetting that the Indians, who are people[!], discovered it first of first!!!
Probably more than you have, on his slowest day Seymour??? Hum???? I think you need to smile a bit also, but that is just a suggestion, of course. lol
Peggy, don’t you know that Nobama is on his world tour right now campaigning to be president of the world? He declared that he is a citizen of the world and is talking down the United States at every opportunity while endearing himself, or trying to, to these other countries. Watch this man. He is scary.
Good Morning Gini it looks like a nice sunny day.
Capmotion, the indians were here first but it wasn’t America until Columbus found it and it was subsequently populated. The term native american is nothing but political correctness.
tom tancredo…..ive been telling people for years dont send your kids to those lunitic professors ,they will completely brainwash them against america. its been the agenda for years. america has been sleeping and now we have a night mare on our hands.
Obviously you have not lived in the south or understand basic manners. It is a term of respect until granted permission to drop the title.
And please research better before you correct people. Ms is a general term and is not Miss, which is used for single women. Mrs. would be if I were to use her last name thus designating her married status.
I you had spent much time here Sir, you would have noticed that I use the term often.
chas
Seymour!!! Chill honey, for real. You might agree with or not, but Chas is always a gentleman, so your comment is uncalled for, on every level. Perhaps a bit of the jealousy, is part of your attitude?
You might apologize for that remark, but I think you may be no gentleman at all.
Someone mentioned Wendy Burgers and I remember good old Dave, the representative! Gini, wasn’t the original Wendy’s in Columbus, but they tore it down a year or so ago?

Comment on the Burger King Ad….
. I think people can complain all they want, & sometimes I think people sit and wait for something else to complain about. What a sad way of life?!
I have three children, and two still watch Spongebob. I laughed out loud, he is Spongebob SQUARE Pants after all. Plus I loved the music, great job on the dancing this am. My 9 yr old son and I were watching, nice moves,
Thank you Fox & Friends, we love your show from Northern Michigan.
Good morning Susan…of course, you are correct.
Peggy, we don’t often have the ability to pick and choose what schools we send our kids too, so we should teach them to stand up for themselves and the truth when confronted with this liberal idealogies. Especially today, we need to be aware of not losing our rights to free speech in these so called ‘liberal arts’ institutions.
I don’t appogize for speaking the truth,and it is disrespectful to a husband to call his wife Ms and not Mrs.
Susan: “…it wasn’t America until Columbus found it and it was subsequently populated….”
===========================================
It was already populated by…, uh, Indians! We are just so ethnocentrically full of ourselves that we propose that “we” define the essence and beginning of everything. But what is the “we”?

Wasn’t the original Wendy’s in Columbus, Ohio? Dave was the sweetest spokesman – I also believe the original Wendy’s was razed a year or 2 ago ~

Ah!!! My personal shopper is home, so must go see if COOKIES were included this day!!!
Hopefully not another Lemon Blueberry crunch cake…YIKES! Very good, but very very very sweet, even for this “sweet tooth” person. lol
Have a great day everyone have to go see the Dentist.
The Sponge Bob commercial is annoying, but to me the Burger King Jr vs Wendys/McDonalds attacks are offensive.
I just had 2 posts regarding Wendy’s Burgers blocked – hmmmm…….they were nice.
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Bye Sal, and hopefully a good report fr the dentist! lol At least the sun is shining…
Seymour, you are sadly mistaken.
Ms. is acceptable whether a woman is married or not.
If he were to call her Miss, that would be inappropriate.
Lemon blueberry crunch cake sounds great, thanks I can’t drive yet! But thanks, it saves me the calories….

Seymour: “it is disrespectful to a husband to call his wife Ms and not Mrs.”
=======================================
Hm…, I guess I have been, and am, disrespectful a lot in my life. But no husband has ever objected. I wonder who decides that fanciful “disrespect,” the husband, or posters here?
capmotion, using your twisted logic most every nation on earth has no right to exist. Everyone should just go home and we should just redraw all the boundaries of all the nations on earth back to how they were………….when Adam and Eve were here! NOT
This land was not America until we made it so, after being found and populated by Christopher Columbus (Cristobal Colon) and those who followed him.
Having spoken to some SEAL pals here in Virginia Beach yesterday and
asking why this thing dragged out for 4 days, I got the following:
1. BHObama wouldn’t authorize the DEVGRU/NSWC SEAL teams to the scene for 36
hours going against OSC (on scene commander) recommendation.
2. Once they arrived, BHO imposed restrictions on their ROE that they
couldn’t do anything unless the hostage’s life was in “imminent” danger
3. The first time the hostage jumped, the SEALS had the raggies all
sighted in, but could not fire due to ROE restriction
4. When the navy RIB came under fire as it approached with supplies, no
fire was returned due to ROE restrictions. As the raggies were shooting
at the RIB, they were exposed and the SEALS had them all dialed in.
5. BHO specifically denied two rescue plans developed by the Bainbridge
CPN and SEAL teams
6. Bainbridge CPN and SEAL team CDR finally decide they have the OpArea
and OSC authority to solely determine risk to hostage. 4 hours later, 3
dead raggies
7. BHO immediately claims credit for his “daring and decisive” behaviour.

How about Clayton Moore’s photo in his yearbook…Was that really him?

I just pulled the Burger King Square Pants commercial up on youtube. I’m glad BK pulled it; not appropriate for young children, of whom the kids meal and cartoon is designed. As an early childhood teacher, I can see my students copying that commercial in class. yikes!
I think it is terrible for Burger King to to use half dressed young girls dancing showing their backsides
to try & attract adults. ??? The strange thing is the amount of people that think this is ok.

dogoncrack – ms was a term started by the feminazis of the world at about the same time as women started burning their bras and calling abortion a choice. Before then women didn’t have a problem being addresses as Miss or Mrs. depending on their marital status. Since when has being married become a source of embarassment for women that we must hide behind a made-up title?
Appoligies to all then, I was WRONG about the Ms thing and stand corrected, sorry folks
UN commandos [maybe an oxymoron] seized 7 pirates and are now turning them loose because of no detention policy? I know I was hallucinating when Ms Ali said that: it cannot be accurate.
I think ignore works for me hence forth towards you seymour. You obviously have your own agenda. Have fun with that.
chas
Ms — a married or unmarried woman
Mrs — a married woman
Miss — an unmarried woman
Ms is used out of courtesy when we do not know the marital status of the woman, or if she prefers the title.

Cap…c’mon now. You are parsing again, which makes it difficult to converse. Someone always occupied the land, before another came along, so where does that theory end, after all? I guess if those in power today, get their way, we will fall in that category sooner than later, hum? lol
Well, I think I’ve finally become a true fox and friends junky! After watching Alisyn shake her beautiful butt to the Burger King ad,…I really felt like running out to ,can I say- sink my teeth into a burger1
Thank you,Alisyn, for making me sooo hungry in the morning.
FINE ‘piece’ of journalism!….
I loved it…

Garafalo—-Question if I could ask her. Does that make all blacks who have in the past & future get togethere and protest does that make them all racist because of the white man in office? Where was your big out of place mouth then!
Obama— is to me POWER CRAZY!!!! I think he sees himself as a Czar of the world! He is very scary, he has a agenda & to myself I really believe he is proving that he did in fact listen to Rev Wright views way to long!!
Capmotion—– Your right & I agree the AMERICAN INDIAN was here first, I myself am Norwegian/Irish! Columbus day should be left alone. What’s next—-NO more ST Patrick’s day? Further more why do we still have black history month? Enough already!

I think Betty cleared it up best.
Gini, good for you! It’s nice to be among clear thinking patriots!
For those who voted for, or against Obama, did you vote for or against his white half or his black half?

Morning all…Morning Ally…just a thought on your Home Depot segment, regarding the energy saving lightbulbs. I think, not a year ago, Fox and Friends did a segment on how you practically need a hazmat team to clean up if you drop and break one of theses bulbs. I haven’t bought one since. I guess I’ll be in trouble when they stop making incandescent bulbs and replace them with the new ones.
Have a great day all!!!
I find the whole thing off topic and unimportant.
Let us return to the show and topics of the day.
chas
Seymour and Cap…..during the women’s rights movement in the 1970s….many women preferred the term Ms…….no one knows if a man is married or not by the simple monicer, Mr…..women wanted the same right……MS. is perfectly acceptable for a single, or married woman….
Blown off the map is prob more likely, however, I must think. As we allow those whose agenda is just evil, gain access to this powerful weaponry, I think we can assume they will try to do just that, as they have, after all, promised us they would. Not shy at all about their plans to abolish all that is “western”, hum?
cool ! thank-you susan ! I knew that term Ms was shady !
Geezzz Chas, I certainly agree, so let’s get back to the important issues of the day. Now, did hubby buy cookies or not!!!! Need to go and look!!!
~~laughing~~ at the ridiculous among us, for sure. And always entertained by it all, on Alisyns. lol
Uh, Colleen – don’t talk about eliminating St. Patrick’s Day!!!
It is absolutely absurd for anyone to think that teens should not be punished for doing and sending sexual pictures by E-Mail or Texting. Doesn’t anyone realize that this is the begining of such acts and leads to more serious crimes in the future? I agree that they should not be labeled for life, but, that some kind of punishment should prevail. Where do people think that these sex offenders started??
I use the old fashioned light bulbs and will continue to do so, especially for the little electricity i use by burning them, I live in the Sunshine State & prefer natural light.
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Oh Seymour, for goodness sake. Come sit by me and have a cookie. yummmy! lol
Garofalo is a left wing nut case. If some conservative had said those statements the left would be in a tizzy! Funny that she won’t come on Fox and say those things. Keith Overbite is a disgrace to journalism!
Alisyn, it wou’ld be so cool to belly up to the bar with ya over a couple Martinis and solve all the world’s problems
St. Patrick’s Day? Um, time to walk my dogs! Have a great Saturday and see you tomorrow!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
The English lady with the voice of an Angel is wonderful and what a shame that this hidden talent was not brought forth years ago. I agree that her looks do not come from the outside, but, from the inside and she should do what is comfortable for her and no one else. “GOD bless her.”
Burger King’s advertisment with Sponge Bob is lewd. Sex isn’t necessary to promote a product, especially for children. Look at the bigger picture by looking beyond the music which obviously is what you all enjoyed and ALL you saw. Then on top of it, the promotion of youthful looks using plastic surgery over BRAINS to get a job was just too much. I love Fox News. I watch it everyday, but quite frankly, I was so turned off Sat. morning watching your segment that I turned YOU off. I like having fun too, but, I couldn’t believe you fell for those shallow, postmodernistic lies by having fun with it. I hope that doesn’t continue.
Jimmy , it’s funny that you are the second man to say that ms is acceptable for women. As a woman, I say it is not, unless you are prepared to accept new titles for men that tell whether or not they are married or single. Until then, I suggest you stay in your own gender.
Betty, I did not vote for nobama by color. I voted AGAINST him for his lack of charaacter. I voted against him because i do not believe he is an american citizen. I voted against him for his acceptance and support of abortion at all stages and his denial of the born alive infant protection act. I voted against nobama because of his pandering to the world and because his wife has never before been proud to be an American. I voted against him because he telegraphed his desire to ruin this great nation and is no do that very thing.
It is about time that everything stop being about the color of someone’s skin and about the content, or lack thereof, of their character.
why did Sharynn post her supposed conversation with a SEAL, then post details of SEAL tactics ? SEALS prefer to remain very unknown and would NEVER talk about what they do to just anyone !
Susan
Good morning Colleen. OMG…not St Paddy’s day! YIKES!!!!
Now, that would cause a revolution for sure, me thinks???
are they chocolate chip Gini ? mmm
Uh…, Ruth, do you really believe that the hard-core predators and child molesters who properly merit public condemnation and life-time scrutiny started as kids passing pictures of themselves and their peers back and forth among themselves? You can’t really believe that. There is a yawning chasm of difference bewteen the two.
Oh Betty—For those who voted for, or against Obama, did you vote for or against his white half or his black half?—–I didn’t vote for either HALF!!! Seeing how he himself doen’t remember his WHITE HALF!!! Plus he scares the #*#*# out of me! CAPMOTION—NEVER!!!! I still have family over there & My family homestead still stands over in Norway!
No, No, No! You don’t understand! Ms. Garofalo is speaking from SCIENTIFIC POLL RESULTS.
Why, Ms. Garofalo’s staff numbered in the thousands. This caring, understanding crew took the time to interview every single one of us who attended the Tea Parties on the 15th. Ms. Garofalo spent millions of dollars out of her own pocket collecting this data and processing it into useful information quickly. I’m sure the Fox News cameras caught these volunteer interviewers working diligently into the night so Ms. Garofalo could report her results with such accuracy.
Seymour, hush now, and come sit by me and have a cookie already!!! You are just having the worst time this morning. Definitely need a dose of smiles…take five, and go smile a lot, and then come back!! Geezzzz…
You will feel so much better, I promise…
thank-you Ms Gini !
TNAndy
I voted against Obama because of the “R” word – REPUBLICAN ~
not racist.
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Susan….that was my point….many women in the 1970s wanted the title Ms……because it did not reveal a woman’s martial status……the same way that Mr. did not reveal a man’s. Personally, I do prefer Miss or Mrs……but many women don’t like that…….ie: Gloria Steinhem and other women’s rights activist……I did not creae the tilte?
You are welcome Seymour….
no Gini, that’s true, SEALS need to stay secrect for security reasons

I cannot believe you 3 acted like stooges this morning shaking your behinds like drunk ducks. You perpetuated that commercial for Burger Puke. Do you not have a moral left in your perverted bones? Really? Seriously? Do you honestly want YOUR mom, sisters, daughters, wives behinds leared at by the likes of Sir Mix a Lot? Do you really want to see your father, sons, brothers objectifying women’s behinds or fronts or anything? Talk about small minded and moral-less.
I happened to have discovered that my husband is a sex addict. You cannot believe the impact that such commercials have in our house. It is the UNNECESSARY CRAP like that that has about destroyed this family. Your problems are that you three are guilty of not knowing what you don’t know. You can’t imagine the pain, humiliation, degredation, gut wrenching hell the wife of an addict goes through.
Basically if you haven’t walked a mile in the shoes of the ones that disagree, do NOT laugh at us or make light of our points of view. Yes, opinions are like …???. Today I think there were 3 on F&F.
Yes, I changed the channel. You lost me as a viewer.

I want to know how they balance and spin those balls on their noses!
friends–i am off to enjoy the much-missed sunshine–probably just to spring clean, but the sunbeams coming through the open doors and windows are enough for me! (remember Trixie from the Sunday cartoons who used to watch the sunbeams coming through the windows? i think that was me as a baby)
see you all tomorrow morning!
Alisyn;
Beautiful in purple as always. Purple was my daughter’s favorite color.
Great program today guys, as always. Even the trivial Hollywood people got their undue coverage.
No, Jimmy, MANY women did not prefer the title. It was preferred by the same liberal feminazis who run NOW, NARAL and Planned Parenthood as well as the the Janine Garafalos in Hollywood and spread by the liberal media. It was their way of denying their marital status and to make themselves like unto men, men who do not have to bear the burden of pregnancy and childbirth. REAL women know that we are not men and don’t need a title like theirs to give us a sense of self-worth.
Betty,REPUBLICAN also. Also not racist, have friends who come many colors and they all make my life better & richer for knowing them as friends. Also some of them just plain don’t understand Obama either!
Ha ha! I did laugh tho, Betty, with that question, for sure, as it points to the absurdity of it all, when citizens are accused of bias towards this man who is president, and totally discounts the ability to listen, think, and discern, whether a person is qualified or not qualified, to be president of these United States of America. It is fr the far left, that we hear this accusation, after all. A group that definitely does not support “free speech” for everyone, and attacks with vigor, those who disagree. Your post made me laugh Betty!!! That, along with the COOKIES, have made my morning very nice for sure. lol
oy no cap, don’t make light of them, they are Supermen ! the animal variety are able to balance balls so well cause they balace they fish they eat on their noses. Seals always make sure they have the fish head on their nose before they eat it.
Good morning Olin…
Peggy, I totally see where you are coming from. Garbage in, garbage out. Have you ever heard the story of “dog-poop brownines?” It speaks to this very issue.
Dad’s Brownies
A father of some teenage children had the family rule that they could not attend PG-13 or R rated movies. His three teens wanted to see a particular popular movie that was playing at local theaters. It was rated PG-13.
The teens interviewed friends and even some members of their family’s church to find out what was offensive in the movie. The teens made a list of pros and cons about the movie to use to convince their dad that they should be allowed to see it. The con’s were that it contained ONLY 3 swear words, the ONLY violence was a building exploding (and you see that on TV all the time they said), and you actually did not “see” the couple in the movie having sex – it was just implied sex, off camera. The pros were that it was a popular movie – a block buster. Everyone was seeing it. If the teens saw the movie then they would not feel left out when their friends discussed it. The movie contained a good story and plot. It had some great adventure and suspense in it. There were some fantastic special effects in this movie. The movie’s stars were some of the most talented actors in Hollywood. It probably would be nominated for several awards.
Many of the members of their Christian church had even seen the movie and said it wasn’t “very bad”. Therefore, since there were more pros than cons the teens said they were asking their father to reconsider his position on just this ONE movie and let them have permission to go see it.
The father looked at the list and thought for a few minutes. He said he could tell his children had spent some time and thought on this request. He asked if he could have a day to think about it before making his decision. The teens were thrilled thinking; “Now we’ve got him! Our argument is too good! Dad can’t turn us down!” So, they happily agreed to let him have a day to think about their request.
The next evening the father called in his three teenagers, who were smiling smugly, into the living room. There on the coffee table he had a plate of brownies. The teens were puzzled. The father told his children he had thought about their request and had decided that if they would eat a brownie then he would let them go to the movie. But just like the movie, the brownies had pros and cons.
The pros were that they were made with the finest chocolate and other good ingredients. They had the added special effect of yummy walnuts in them. The brownies were moist and fresh with wonderful chocolate frosting on top. He had made these fantastic brownies using an award-winning recipe. And best of all, the brownies had been made lovingly by the hand of their own father.
The brownies only had one con. The father had included a little bit of a special ingredient. The brownies also contained just a little bit of dog poop. But he had mixed the dough well – they probably would not even be able to taste the dog poop and he had baked it at 350 degrees so any bacteria or germs from the dog poop had probably been destroyed.
Therefore, if any of his children could stand to eat the brownies which included just a “little bit of crap” and not be effected by it, then he knew they would also be able to see the movie with “just a little bit of smut” and not be effected.
Of course, none of the teens would eat the brownies and the smug smiles had left their faces. Only Dad was smiling smugly as they left the room.
Now when his teenagers ask permission to do something he is opposed to the father just asks, “Would you like me to whip up a batch of my special brownies?”
bye Anita…oh my! Must we wash windows today???
susan, if you object to that title so strongly, then join those of us who are trying to abolish the compulsory public education which teaches it’s acceptance.
http://www.schoolandstate.org/home.htm
Susn….I am not arguing with you. I did not create the title….I was just adding information as to the origin of the title.
I am more in agreement with you than you realize.
But it can be a problem these days.
How would you respectfully address altter, or an invitation, to a woman….if you don’t know her martial status?
Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill – or indeed, out of a pimple! I’ll call Ms Ali Ms Ali, and I suspect chas will also, until she says she doesn’t like it; it is no one else’s business. The extravagant Steinemization of the issue is absurd!
I am still wiating and hoping for thr Foxes of FNC to be published. When will it be available?
Oh, Seymour, THOSE Seals. Yep, they are great.
that’s a cool story Susan, thanks
REAL woman, don’t get caught up in this ridiculous argument, actually. I don’t care how they address me, as long as “they” are respectful. hum? So, whether using my first name, nick name, identifying me as married or not, doesn’t matter at all, actually. This is a silly argument to have, over a polite and civil, and gentlemanly effort, to afford respect to another who is held in high esteem. hum?
I agree al…the point is moot…..and trivial……more important issues to be concerned about LOL
Gini
I need a cookie too.
Woah….I just looked at my check. I finally got my “stimulus.” I think I will go out today and buy a car now…..Hot Wheels (they are still in business right??)
Agreed cap. This was the proper term of respect that was demanded of me by my Grandfather and I will not disrespect his memory.
Ms. Alisyn has never had a problem with it or voicing her concerns so I am sure she would if she were offended by it or wanted me to not call her Ms.
Some people just need to complain about something no matter how trivial.
chas
Dear Miss Alisyn. I’v have allways seen you as a very professional person and I still do, but with one exception, I will never for get your booty dance. for ever more to me you will be mess bootyliscious!
And on the sponge bob commercal I was very offended and it sould not been aired.
I’m a long-time fan of Fox’s early morning shows, both during the week and on weekends. However, I was surprised and thoroughly disappointed about your coverage of the Burger King commercial. Allyson and crew seemed to support it and even said how much they liked it. This is shocking, coming from a network that purports to uphold family values. The ad is trash. It is sexually suggestive and is the kind of message we don’t need to be showing our kids. Don’t tell me it was “aimed at adults” either. Kids watch TV at all hours. Shame on you, Fox, for supporting it.
Come sit by me, Olin, cause I definitely am willing to share the cookies. They are really delish, and I will prob eat them ALL!!! YIKES! The son is getting married in a month, so must be a bit careful, or the dress won’t fit…oops! Oh wellllll, details details, right?

Is this proof enough that Obama is NOT a Christian?
President Obama speaks about the economy at Georgetown University’s Gaston Hall in Washington. The school covered up religious symbols bearing the name of Jesus during Obama’s remarks at the behest of the White House. Shame on Georgetown for allowing anyone to come into own their house and dictate that they suppress symbols of their own faith. This is frightening reminicense of communism.
But Obama bows before the king of Islamic Saudi Arabia!
=============================================================RIGHT ON!!!!!!!
Jimmy, when introduced a woman should be introduced by either Miss or Mrs. Last Name. The familiarity of using first names 24/7 regardless of who we are talking to (and regardless of age) has contributed to the loss of respect for our elders and for those in a position of authority over us. My students only thought they could get away with calling me Ms. Susan!
Yeah. Even us “rednecks” say “maam” out of respect, not to be demeaning. Even when we are catagorized as inbred.
I wonder if Mrs. Camerota is gonna read all this Ms, Mrs, & Miss stuff and give us her opinion ?
Thomas Major, William Blackman – good for you!
Time to say goodbye. Thanks for the company and the thoughts. Have a good day and I hope to see everyone tomorrow.
Have a great day Ms. Alisyn. Martinis and chocolate for brunch, you are made of sterner stuff than I Ma’am.
Have a great day.
chas
Can someone tell me why….
1) Only some of my posts are posting even when the ones that aren;t are not offensive in any way… and
2) Why someof my posts are coming up with the name Peggy (sorry Peggy) instead of my name which shows on the “Leave A Reply” area….
Susan….I agree with you more than you will ever know…..raised in the south, I was taught to show respect…..and taught my children the same…..never yes or no to an adult….always yes Sir, and Yes Mam……you don’t hear that much anymore……but I am proud that my children show that respect….and are teaching my grandchildren the same thing….
Chas,
I must think this is more abt the absolutely horrible “womens” movement, and less abt the use of Ms, hum? Susan and I, and I suspect most women, are offended by it all, and continue to be horrified by an agenda that did so much harm to all women. This group definitely needs to smile a lot, to recover fr their hateful and grossly wrong, agenda. lol
Marine,
WordPress, Marine. It’s wordpress. Just lost one today, but sometimes a few more, and sometimes not at all. Alisyn does not block her fans…it is wordpress. Your comments may have gone to “moderation”, and may post in a few, or may be lost to cyber space, which is full of wonderful, and sometimes not so wonderful, comments!!!
Stand by. Another pot of coffee is brewing while I listen to Charlie Daniels in the background.
Good for you, Jimmy. It makes me feel hopeful when I hear from others who have the same values/morals.
Thank you Gini…..and again, I apolgize Peggy….some came up as you
Seymour…you can count on it. She reads it all! Comment? hummm…maybe or not, but she does read her blog. lol ALL of it. lol
The Ms. title was created to protect married women from job discrimination. This was at the time when asking gender, race, marital status and number of children were eliminated. Also, photo requirements on applications were prohibited.
Well, Marine, I agreed/accepted everything posted by ‘Peggy’. It could have been worse. You could have come through as ___________. I’ll leave that one to your imagination
ok…today is our anniversary…..made my wife her favorite breakfast….now going to shave and shower….and take her out to a fabulous lunch at her favorite place……
bye to all……wheather Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms…..or just Sirs and Mams! Have a great day!
Susan…
I don’t think anyone could argue that manners do define a person. Also, protects one fr being ridiculous, when confronted with an uncomfy situation. Like, for instance, going in the MEN’S ROOM by accident???????? OOPS! Happened to me on Friday, and manners coupled with a big smile, did save the day for me!!!! Thanks mom and dad…you have saved the day, yet again, for your often daughter, who finds herself in predicaments sometimes, that are too funny!!! Well, for goodness sake. I have mentioned I need to get my eyes chked, and those little guys and gals on the door, at a glance, look identical. And, I might add, no urinals, so how’s a girl to know??? YIKES!!! lol
Gini says ” Call me Ms. Miss or Mrs., Just don’t forget to call me when the cookies are ready” Chocolate chip , please! go great with the mornin coffee
bye Jimmy…Happy 18th Anniversary, and have a wonderful time with your elegant wife.
Chas – some people have the right to be heard. Speaking our minds is not complaining. You sound like a liberal hack making fun of gthe Tax Day Tea Parties. They have the same view because they don’t agree. Maybe you should rethink your comment?
Gini…..perhaps all those men in there staring at you when you entered could have been a clue..;-)
what if that lady singer did get a makeover and she would come out looking like Angela Jolee’s sister ?
Dan!!!!! You have nailed it kiddo!!! Spot on, for sure. lol Oooo, and they are delish! lol My fav, are the almond chip, so definitely those will be gone, in a few, actually. May not take all day, hum? Oh my! lol
May need to get another dress for the wedding, just in case??
gini – our local, remodeled kroger has a unisex bathroom. talk about yikes! Who wants to use the same bathroom as a stranger of the opposite sex. double yikes!!
then she would have big lips instead of unibrow
oh….and don’t call Gini “late” for coctails LOL bye all….
My goodness, such drama this morning over a title. If someone refers to you with a title that you don’t care for, what’s wrong with politely correcting them by saying, “I prefer Mrs. or please call me by my first name?” Afterall, the title is meant to infer respect, isn’t it? But I’m with Dan, I don’t care what you call me, just don’t forget to call me when Gini’s cookies are ready!
Marine1967 ~ WordPress didn’t post two of my very innocent Dave ~ Wendy Burger posts ~ go figure! Thanks for your service to this great country!

do unisex bathrooms haves urinals ?
Marine!!! It was EMPTY!!! Amazing, ain’t it?? The very nice gentleman, holding the door to the restroom, when I got finished washing my hands, and fiddling with my hair {a girl thang}, was just smilin’ huge!!!!! I haven’t stopped laughing since this happened!!!! By the way guys, your bathroom was very very very clean! I am totally impressed, as the womens is not always…such a messy group, ya know?? lol
only for uni- mr.
Well Seymour, since I don’t actually frequent the “men’s room” I couldn’t say. Altho, in Japan, there was no difference, years ago anyway. The men and women all used the available facility…not separated by gender. lol
Gini, when you gotta go, you gotta go
Hi there Susan. Nice to meet you. Please do yourself a favor and click on chas’ name, and read his blog. “Liberal hack” is definitely not a term that applies to this enlightened gentleman. Whether or not you agree with him.
Susan to chas: “Maybe you should rethink your comment?”
=================================================
What comment, about Ms Ali being made of sterner stuff than he???
Gini…..the reason it was so clean (you said it yourself)….it was empty….
I tried to post to Marine1967 about WordPress not allowing two very innocent posts re: the burger place with the little red haired girl in pigtails, but it won’t allow the explanation post either – wow!
I do want to thank you for your service to our country Marine1967 ~ that was the most important part of my post. THANK YOU!
✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈
Well, it looks like the garden and lawn will have to wait. Mother Nature is washing my windows, while I sip another cup. The BW is away, so I will do something around here to make her day.
I really enjoy the blogging, even though I am the antithesis of the CNN reporter. I could never be a journalist, because I would be soooo.. dismissive of some of the inane regurgitation from both sides.
yes, thank-you for your service Marine1967 1
~~giggle~~ {girls do giggle, ya know, at any age}, that is soooooooooo true!!! lol
Well folks….It has been VERY mice meeting you and listening to all the different points of view….the wife is draggin’ my butt shopping….Yippeeeee…NOT! I will stop by later hoping the discussions are still going. Tomorrow for sure. THANK YOU for making me feel welcome. Bye

this comment by chas: Some people just need to complain about something no matter how trivial.
Geezzzzz…the attack site thingy just popped up, threw me off, and now has chged this page back to tiny tiny tiny print!!! YIKES! Who are these people, one wonders? I hope the 14th floor gets on this, and blocks them fr knocking me off!!! lol
Okay Gini. Tell the truth. Was the seat up or down?
Oh, Susan, I misunderstood!
(-:
Susan…Chas is an elegant and smart citizen, and always a gentleman. ALWAYS…so you simply must not assume malice, where there is none.
Click my name, and find out for yourself…don’t have to take my word for it, but you could easily. hum? lol
Alisyn love watching you on the show and look forward to your perspective on events of the day
you need a daily spot on the couch
So nice to meet you, as well, Marine1967. Thanks for joining the conversation today. And of course, thank you sir, for your service to our great country.
Chas, I have read your blog and offer profound apologies for insulting you by calling you the L word. I would be honored to be your friend.
Olin…the seats were up, as a matter of fact, but that is not a curious thing to happen. The seats are up, if they have been cleaned by the cleaning crew, and have not been used. So, that didn’t ring a bell at all. It was not up on the actual “stall” I used, however. I still laugh every time it comes to mind!!!! lol Tooooooo funny! on every level, and just part of a humorous day. I was very relieved to get home ALIVE, actually! Chit! lol
Have a great day, everyone. It’s been fun and I would like to come again, if you’ll have me. Hope your weather is as nice as it is here. Beautiful spring day!
On the pirate saga: Obama did the right thing giving OK to the Navy to do their thing which they do so well.
On Garofalo: actors should stick to their profession and not use it as a soap box to air their opinion; who asked for it anyway? I don’t really care what they think, I have my own opinion and little ability to get it out there.
On the Georgetown issue: the Catholic Church is required to stand for its religious
beliefs and they are not to be hampered by any “authority”. Georgetown should get inline and get it straight!
Marine…you can click Sterling’s name also, as her view point is smart and informed, as well as Chas’ blog site. lol A very smart group gathers here to watch Alisyn, and comment on the “news of the day”. I provide the “comic relief” often appropriate, I think??? ~~laughing~~ hum???
My life is rife with many many many, I promise! When I write my book…….
*many many many, comical moments!! that is…
Susan, you are a class act for your apology, and this page is open to all. Come on back.
K. Now that I have absorbed my news from the Right, I’m gonna go read the St. Louis Post-Democrat, er, Dispatch to receive my news from the Left. I swear, with Christ himself as my witness, this paper cannot print one article without the words ” Barack Obama” in it!
Oh Susan!!! I would miss you terribly if you didn’t come back. I LOVE your comments and agree with you! lol See you tomorrow, ok? lol lol
Susan…it’s sunny here in the great state of Ohio too, finally, and I am so happy to see that sunshine, finally! lol
Gini
My BW taught me a lesson the first year we were married. With friends coming over to visit one evening, without my knowledge, the BW painted the following message on the underside of the toilet seat, in fingernail polish. “It’s So Nice To Have A Man Around The House”!!! After much giggling and hee-haws, I was finally let in on the joke.
Susan…I know you are gone now, but one prefers to not use the public restrooms at all, for a lot of reasons. hum? I couldn’t care less, actually, who was before me in “the stall”, as long as the facility is clean, or appears to be clean anyway. Of course, this restroom was immaculate, because the office I was in on Friday, is top drawer. lol
Olin!!! That is BRILLIANT, I say! May have to do the same here at the house. I am surrounded by MEN, and find the toilet up, lately, a lot. Could the “man” of the house, be having an age related moment??? After all, with four boys, and the boy I’m married to, I thought they all had it straight about the toilet seat, after all. Mom prefers to not be sitting in the water, after all??? OH MY GOODNESS!!! An alarming event, in the middle of the nite, when one isn’t quite awake, hum????? lol ~~laughing~~ oh my my my!!!
Olin!!! I remember distinctly when I moved from the “miss” category to the “ma’am” category. Another ~~giggle~~ coming on, I’m afraid. My girlfriend and I were heading for Okla, by air, to see my sis. The steward on the plane, ask politely, “…”ma’am”, would you “ladies” like a drink?” We looked at each other, and started giggling hysterically. YES! In that case, as we have moved fr “miss” and “girl” to “ma’am” and “ladies”, I think we need one for each hand, thanks!!!

We get the Post Dispatch too. After removing the coupons we use it under the cats’ litter boxes. Can’t read the news. Raises the blood pressure.

Do you subscribe and pay for that newspaper? Just curious..
Must go and take care of the old soldier now. He’s awake, and hungry!! I was in late, so missed so many comments. Have scanned a bit, so must say HI YA to Eileen (ME), and we have just been delighted with all the pictures you have sent along, of yourself and the gorgeous Alisyn. We await impatiently, for a more detailed acct of your trip and lots more pictures, of course. Enjoy your family, and safe trip home. Love ya!!!
I think teen sexing is just an excuse for bad teen behavior. If we want future adults acting responsible we should teach our teens responsibility! Don’t give them a law allowing them an excuse to behave bad!!!
bruce: “I think teen sexing is just an excuse for bad teen behavior.”
=========================================
It, of course, might represent bad behavior, but not all things that purists might deem “bad behavior” should invite a criminal sanction, in a free and enlightened society. We are a grossly over-criminalized society.
just running through, cap – sodom and gomorrah was a free and enlightened society as was ancient rome.

A poll showing that the majority of Americans think they should pay less in taxes? Shocking……
~~~~
But Matt…who gets to decide what is ridiculous and extravagant? hum? The Fair Tax, or Flat Tax suggestion, is a good idea to be discussed, I think. I would hope that it doesn’t disadvantage any group, however, if it were adopted. I haven’t explored either in detail, however, but would seem is a better plan than we have now.
“Rednecks” she says? So, I must be one in coming from a partially mixed ancestry of poor; Irish-English & Native American tennant farmers & carpenders, whom blistered their necks red, working hard in the fields everyday? Well, if if that stereotypes me as some; ignorant, uneducated, poor, white-trash to the wicked; “Unholywood” coven, and the “White House” Commies, then so be it! I still stand proud in the face of ignorant defiance. At least when I
die, and account for my actions on earth I’ll know who my savior is (He’s NOT in the Whitehouse) and where I
am going afterall. P.S. B.K’s needs to drop the sexy “fanny gags”, because it doesn’t get you lucky and they are prime contributors to America’s obesity, with all the unhealthy cooking oils & “up sizing” our meals into
coronary oblivion…
Cap,
I would agree, and of course, disapprove of laws made, that cannot be enforced, as many of “these” are. It does make those who propose these “laws” look very very very busy, and relevant, a must, if they wish to continue to hold their post, hum? We would all prefer to protect our children from ridiculous behavior, which might not serve them well in the future. It seems to me that this is in the hands of parents, and not the government, however, I agree. Before you say it, not every parent is blind and incompetent to what is going on with their teens. There will always be a portion of, however, that don’t give a flip, and to those there is no cure, of course. As a society, we should object, of course, but the government needs to keep their big boot out of the home front, in my humble opinion. Their interference often causes more havoc than any attempt to solve problems. lol
Susan…they “enlightened and freed” themselves right out of existence, seems? I would prefer to learn fr them what might be good, and escape the folly that took them to destruction as a society, hum? lol
Okay everyone. I am out of here!!! You must click Sterling’s name today. She has a new post on her blog, and it’s wonderful!!! An excellent writer, thinker, and smart lady, for sure! lol
Never heard of Sodom being considered enlightened, nor Gomorroh [two different communities]; Rome, of course, was…, until it started spiraling down a route not unlike the course being set for the U.S. ovr the past…, oh, 90 years.
Sterling,
On the recommendation of Gini, I visited your web site. Why do you state on your web page, “The current president shows no concern whatsoever in any who would disagree with him”?
My recollection is that President Obama invited Republicans to the White House and also attended a meeting of Republicans at George Wills’ home.
Visitor…did you leave a comment on her blog? You can and should, and she will answer your question faster there, than here, as this is Alisyn’s, of course. lol
Cap
Ms Susan,
There is no need to apologize, for no offense was taken. I have been called way worse and were I so thin skinned I wouldn’t have any recourse but to avoid blogging entirely.
I am not always successful, but I do attempt to do a couple of things. 1). Be Civil. 2). Be clear, not post as to confuse or mislead. 3). Stay within the rules as Ms Alisyn has laid out. I certainly would not be able to accomplish that were I any less an example of how to conduct myself.
I think Ms. Gini gives me far too much credit, be that as it may, I welcome you to this friendly blog and assure you that I have no malice towards anyone, regardless of their leanings or beliefs. I do hope you return.
I also welcome the hand you extend and hope you continue to read my humble blog. It is only a small voice in a wide world, but then again Jefferson was only one man. Sam Adams was only one man as was Henry. Sometimes a small single voice can ignite things for the better. No, I have no such ego to believe that I am that voice, just one of many.
most respectfully,
chas
Seymour: Let me introduce you to Rusty Zipper or Antlers in the Tree Tops.
Good afternoon everyone
I’mmmm baaaaaaaccckkkkkk…..anything new happening in here?
Good afternoon, Marine1967. Glad you stopped back by. It’s usually slow around here during the day. It hops while Ms. Alisyn is on the air, and then slows to next to nothing afterwards.
Missed you Marine…but, hope you had a good time shopping??? ah! Would have been better if it were “the hunt” prob, hum? Men hunt for particular items, usually, better than they shop for whatever is out there. Or so they tell us, and it has been my experience, it’s prob true. It continues to be a beautiful day here in Ohio, and I have almost got all the almond chip cookies eaten! YUMMM!!! lol Is it beer:thirty yet? {stole that fr Sterling, actually}
Marine1967, click on my handle or that of Chas or Sterling and leave a comment at one of our blogs.
We’ve got something special we want to show you.
I want to see a clip of the friends dancing to the Burger King commercial again. It was really funny. You guys are the funnest of the morning shows.
Hey Ali,
I too was just apalled at the Burger King Ad…I even emailed Gretchen the morning I saw it. I couldn’t believe it was targeting kids…just disgusting and I am glad they pulled it.
Hi Marine…I did comment earlier, however wordpress ate it!!! Must have been lunch time? hehehe…if you click my name, it will also take you to Chas’ site.
Missed it altogether, duh! lol Too many cookies and coffee, no doubt. lol
Susan…just jumped back over, and was scanning comments, and I think you comment was meant to mean just that? So, we agree then, I think.
Regarding the outrageous commentary by the propaganda machine for the left, remember they are playing to their increasingly diminishing number of constituents. Beware the government’s response to fair and balanced reporting.
The BK ad is creepy and more annoying than anything else to me. The Quiznos ads are the ones that I find extremely offensive!! I’m surprised no one else has picked up on those ones. If there was a way to complain to them, I sure would! Guess I should research their site, huh?
Alisyn, I LOVE you guys on the weekend show! A great way to wake up on the weekends!
I love seeing you, Dave and Clayton on the weekends. I really like it when you or Dave are also on during the week. Have they ever considering letting you add Friday to the week end show?
Five Houston children died Saturday after their sedan slid into a rain-swollen ditch when the driver lost control while trying to answer a cell phone, authorities said.
John Cannon, a Houston police spokesman, told several Houston television stations that the driver of the car was the father of four of the dead children, all 7 or younger. Cannon said the driver was taken for blood-alcohol testing.
Dear Alisyn;
What do you and Dave and Clayton do during the week for Fox. I love you guys.
Jeffrey
P.S. I want to see more of you and not just for substitutions
Jeffrey
Dear Alisyn.
I sent 2 messages. Disregard the first. The second one is better.
I love you guys.

To design Windows 7, Microsoft analyzed billions of pieces of data. It studied exactly what PC users do in front of their screens. It tallied hundreds of thousands of Windows surveys. It got feedback from people all over the world who tried different versions of the software.
As a result, every change or new feature in Windows 7 comes with a back story. Here is a sampling of things you’ll see in the next operating system and explanations of how each came about.
• New feature: You decide the left-to-right order of icons in the task bar at the bottom of your screen.
• Back story: Microsoft’s research showed Vista users commonly launching a series of programs, then closing and immediately reopening some. Microsoft realized that these people wanted their programs to appear in the same order on the task bar every time.
• New feature: Right-click on a task bar icon and get a “jump list,” a menu of important or frequently used options for the program.
Re Brown: I thought it was the faculty who started a petition to get rid of Columbus Day. The liberals will jump on anything that will advance their agenda and kids need peer approval. This is pansy PC gone amok.
OK, as soon as I saw President Obama being mention, it was necessary and I mean necessary for me to comment. No way should the Obama Administration, including President Obama received any credit for this action.
It was the United States Navy Seals that should get all the credit, along with Captain Richard Phillips because it was strictly strong action and the belief in our Heavenly Father that pulled this out and not President Obama.
I really do not feel a person who does not honor our heritage, our history and our Christian foundation understands the basic principle of freedom today, President Obama is changing this country and it is not in the right direction. The Obama Administration does not respect our military and is planning on a severe military budget cut, along with changing foreign policies in dealing with our life long enemies. Every step or program that the Obama Administration is touching, is placing this country in danger. So there is absolutely no way, that he should receive any credit for saving Captain Phillips. I am sure you will see his administration inviting Captain Phillips to the White House to take advantage of this Navy Action. God Bless America.
A Somali teenager arrived to face what are believed to be the first piracy charges in the United States in more than a century, smiling but saying nothing as he was led into a federal building under heavy guard.
Abduhl Wali-i-Musi, the sole surviving Somali pirate from the hostage-taking of an American ship captain, was to appear in a courtroom Tuesday on what were expected to be piracy and hostage-taking charges.
When exactly did burger king supposedly pull the ad? I just saw it last night.
Personally I disagree with the ad simply because they’re making a “spoof” of a song that was offensive to begin with. Seriously though, read the lyrics they are very lewd.
Why not? Remember what Feinstein said during the Clinton Admin! “We believe that the Government should control every aspect of life in this country.” (approximate wording from memory).
Apple Inc. pulled a 99-cent iPhone game called “Baby Shaker” from its iTunes store Wednesday after its premise — quiet a crying baby with a vigorous shake — prompted outrage.
According to screen shots posted on several Web sites, “Baby Shaker” displayed black-and-white line drawings of a baby. The iTunes description included the line, “See how long you can endure his or her adorable cries before you just have to find a way to quiet the baby down!” Once the iPhone owner finishes shaking the device, the on-screen baby is depicted with large red X’s over its eyes.
n the search for Earth-like planets, astronomers zeroed in on two places that look awfully familiar to home. One is close to the right size. The other is in the right place. European researchers said they not only found the smallest exoplanet ever, called Gliese 581 e, but realized that a neighboring planet discovered earlier, Gliese 581 d, was in the prime habitable zone for potential life.
An American expert called the discovery of the tiny planet “extraordinary.”
I believe Captain Phillips is the hero.However those who give Obama the credit should beware.Maybe when he leaves the Office the next President will see his actions as cruel and unusual punishment.Did he allow negotiations prior to giving the order to shoot them in the head?President Obama cannot have it both ways,torture to protect American’s is criminal ,but shooting in the head to protect one individual is O.K. by his standards.I feel we should have shot them in the head and I think tactics to protect this country are allowed to any standard.
I am really tired of our President being such a WIMP! When is he going to learn that you HAVE to stand up to a bully and that’s what the Taliban and these pirates are. You can’t talk to them they just keep doing what they’re doing until you STAND UP AND STOP THEM!
Airline booking fees charged by Travelocity, Orbitz and Expedia are on vacation through May. That’s giving travelers who had avoided those sites a reason to reconsider.
The fees generally run around $7 per transaction — just enough to send many travelers to airline Web sites. But in April, first Expedia (the biggest online travel agent) and then Travelocity and Orbitz suspended airline booking fees on tickets bought through May 31. Priceline.com had already dropped airline booking fees almost two years earlier.
That eliminates the big advantage held by airline Web sites, said Forrester Research travel analyst Henry H. Harteveldt.
You guys just had on the show a representative discussing ways to prevent malaria from infecting thousands of Africans and his solution is contributing $10.00 to purchase a `NET”. This is absolutely preposterous. The most effective method for completely eliminating malaria is spraying the entire area with DDT and within 30 DAYS it’s eradicated.
Why didn’t you guys ask him about the effective use of DDT?
Great to see the captain home, now to the point of this response.
You had the founder of save the redneck in response to Garafalow’s attack on the tea party members. Last I checked a redneck is not a class or society but a joke towards people from the south that live in the country. You had him to defend the remarks against tea party people with a one party member of save the redneck that was probably born over a keg in his back yard as a joke. You are a better news team that this. Her remarks were directed at tea party members stirred up by how the government is running over them and wanting the constitution to mean something. Did this guy attend a tea party or was he in his yard creating a new joke for Jeff Foxworthy. You had to even answer the questions for him.
It reminded me of a disaster scene where the reporter will find the only 300 pound person with one tooth wearing a moo moo to interview. Please do a pre interview and check them out before you have them on air to respond to a Hollywood moron leftist with the brains of a redneck.
All you did was add fuel to her fire with your choice of people to resond.
The bear cub could be heard but remained unseen among the barren trees and dried leaves blanketing the forest floor.
The wheezing sounds of her suckling grew louder as a pair of state wildlife officials drew closer to a rock outcropping sheltering the black bear cub and her mother in the gray light of the March morning.
Myron Means, a bear biologist with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, loaded a tranquilizer dart into an air rifle and took aim at the mother, who only stared back as he pulled the trigger.
