Sunday Morning
by Alisyn Camerota
OK, I’m a little late this morning — always a rough start after a holiday that involves fireworks…
Anyway, more on Sarah Palin’s surprise resignation. What do you think is her motivation? She mentioned “a higher calling.” How do you interpret that?
What will Governor Mark Sanford do tomorrow: resign or stay in office? What should he do?
Who do you think will win our hotdog eating contest at the end of the show — Clayton or Dave?
What do you think the surprise is under the sheet for Clayton?

Hi Ali,
I am a little torn about Palin quitting. I do beleive you should see the game all the way through. On the other hand, I do believe politicians should have to resign their office to campaign for another position. Obama claimed experience as a US Senator but really had what 6 months before his campaign kicked in. You can’t say he, Biden, McCaine, or even Palin were doing the jobs they were elected for.
I’m witholding judgement until some more facts are evident.
Its great seeing you up and at them. I think I need a rest after the hoola hoop segment.
Ed
Good morning Ali ~you used Maureen Dowd’s article this morning as an example of what the MSM is doing to Sarah and her family, I wish her the best and have faith that she will clean up DC.
No comment on your trophy.
Nuff said.
Aly, you are sooo funny!
Being a lifelong resident of SC I think Mark Sanford should resign. If he had kept his mouth shut after his initial statement it would not be as bad, but he wouldn’t keep quiet about his “soulmate”. He is an embarassment to his wife, children, and state. I can not stand to look at him now.
Good morning everyone!
Interesting….I got up just in time to see your trophy. I think, I actually saw you make the trophy winning hotdog because I remember it invoked the same response from everyone on the set then as now. And that’s all I have to say on that subject.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth.
Yes, that was a proud day in 2006 when i “won” the trophy.
Good morning Ali and all. I’m pretty sure I actually saw you make the trophy winning hotdog because I remember the reaction then was about the same as this morning!
Hope you all had a wonderful Fourth.
MoDo writing that Sarah has a personality disorder? Puhleeezeee. Pot meet kettle. Kettle meet pot. She’s pathetic.
The way her family and person have been maligned is a crime. She’ll come back and raise money for GOP candidates and work behind the scenes to take this country back. I doubt she’ll be president but she’ll work like hell to restore it and may just pave the way for another woman down the road. The derision and contempt that people feel for this woman just baffles me.
Also, if Palin were ugly, no one would care what she does.
Good morning Fox and Friends, I agree Ed I would rather know instead of guessing. As far as Sanford goes it’s all abuot trust. I’m a man of principles and I can’t trust him any more
I think Sarah had to do what she did due to the unprecendented level of frivolous lawsuits and ethics violations being filed designed to harrass and waste her time and prevent her from doing her job. She did the right thing and now is free to pursue the next step. GOOD for her. Sanford should resign and shut up. He is embarrassing himself and everybody else.
The hot dog trophy is hysterical!! Aly, you are a hoot! Love the show. We wake up to Fox and Friends. Every morning. hubby is still snoozing. He worked his usual 14 hour day yesterday.
Small business not only is not getting the stimulus money, but the government policies are causing all of us to cut back and certainly not hire more. They’re nuts and have no clue about small business, nor do they care.
Thanks for watching everyday Retro!
Good morning Aly & all.
I think Sanford should resign, our leaders should be above reproach morally, though that is a rare situation since the days of “but I didn’t inhale” and “I did not have sex with that woman” Clinton. I know accusations were made against John Kennedy also but it was only later after he was dead as I remember it. Since that time, our society seems to have no moral compass and anything goes seems to be the rule.
I still think Sarah will continue to be maligned by the MSM but she is smart and strong so we will continue to hear from and about her.
Hey Alisyn, nice trophy,dose this make you the Weenie Czar
The guest is absolutely right talking about small business. Scary stuff and he is on the money.
The government neds to GET OUT OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. Absolutely
G’ moening soozer, if not Sarah Palin I like Michelle Bachmann in a leadership position. Would really like to see Palin and Bachmann together, they would really clean house!
I tried to wish you good morning earlier, but it didn’t go through so will try again. Hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth.
I won’t speculate on Sarah Palin’s motives for her actions. I’ll wait and see what she actually does…..novel approach I know.
I have no sympathy for a politician who can’t keep his pants zipped. He should quit talking and go away!
Wait and see? Who has time for that??
Good Morning from Flyover.
As I said yesterday, opinions are like noses, everyone has one. Only Sarah knows why Sarah really stepped down, and only Sarah knows what her future will be in politics, if at all.
Sanford is a pig who cannot even be honest with himself. I doubt that he can be effective as governor. I think he should fade rapidly into the night.
Betty, thet’s for sure! The best man for the job is a woman in both their cases! That hot dog trophy is a total hoot, Aly! I thought I would fall out laughing when the wether guy pointed it at my old home town, San Antonio! boy, 103. And will e 101 here today. God bless air conditioning, which we didn’t used to have in the olden days.
Yeah, Rick really grabbed that joke (pun intended) and ran with it!
Your right Retro, I never thought it really mattered who got electsd because the country would take care of itself. Boy was I wrong.
Good morning Ali,
I hope she didn’t resign due to all of the MSM garbage. That will be seen as a sign of weakness if she pursues higher office. I have a couple of thoughts, perhaps run for President under a 3rd party, entering the private sector, work for the RNC campaigning for Republicans in the lower 48 during the mid-term elections. Whatever she does, I do hope it’s for the best. I really like her and her agenda!
Good Morning Alisyn and everyone
I f you listen to her speech she said it was hard to do her job when she had to keep defending herself on allegations of false ethics complaints and now 1/2 million in debt,
and to use the Governors office to do so wasnt fair to the people of Alaska,
she said its time to pass the ball so that the team can win,
I say she shouldnt resign… but Sarah Palin doesnt want to use taxpayer money to defend herself,
she has a book deal coming to help pay her debt and then maybe start her campaign for the Presidency or help with others for the Presidency.
Can’t believe I think I saw my son in the Baghdad hot dog eating contest you quickly showed this morning!
He’s in the NC Army National Guard serving his second tour in Iraq in Baghdad.
Originally he is fom Valley Stream, Long Island.
Where can I get a copy of the video???
Fred, Proud LI Dad
That’s great, Fred. So glad you saw your son! Now, here’s the bad news…i don’t know how you can get a dub. We don’t use videotape anymore. There may be a service that still tapes our show but i don’t know of one.
Sarah is faking out the harrassers by refusing to be distracted and cost her state money and is moving onward and upward. I think she is now going to become a more national presence and will go either for Senator or President.
Good morning Ms Alisyn,
Fireworks, how nice. I hope the kids enjoyed it. And you know what they say, Better late than never.
I think the idle speculation over motives will continue to haunt Ms Palin. Time is the only source of answers along with her actions. I believe that she has plans but isn’t going to expose them and give the media yet another reason to attack her.
chas
Well said, Sal. I keep wondering if some of the people speculating about Governor Palin actually LISTENED to what she said.
I am so sick of people talking down about Sarah Palin. Would you truly think the obvious, she has morals. This country is going down the drain and all we can talk about are things that don’t really matter. I think she is like the rest of us, for the first time in my adult life I am afraid for this country.
Thanks Liz K.. and Good morning.
I’ve owned a small business for 39 years and the worst period in business we had was the Carter years. This is Carter squared. All small businesses are cutting back. It’s going to be worse than it was then and we had double digit unemployment and somewhere around 20% interest rates. You really think people are going to hire over 25 people when the new health care bill penalizes you and makes you pay insurance for all employees over that number? Get real. That is just one of the ridiculous proposals. The other stuff is horrible, too. Cap and Trade, etc.
I to fear the future Georgia, We still need at least 3 years to change things by vote. I hope we can hang in there.
Good morning and thanks Sal ~ its crystal clear what Sarah said to those who listen but the MSM will always turn a deaf ear, it seems.
Mornin’ Betty. That Trig Palin is TOOO cute and Piper Palin has the most awesome name evah! Why people have such a visceral hate for this family is just bizarre.
Don’t know much about Ms. Bachmann except the left hates her, which makes her AOK in my book
Sanford is an embarrassment all the way around and he should resign. He wasn’t any kind of presidential frontrunner. No one even knew who he was until he decided he wanted to tango the night away in moonlit Buenos Aires with his fabulous luh-vuh.
morning Ali and all….
a great 4th !
The tea party people are MAD and there are lots of it, regardless of whether we get rported about by the elite media fools of the msm.
Good Morning Betty, I know the MSM will come up with all kinds of scandals why she resigned,
they will say anything but the truth….we already hurd that from the robot.
I think Sanford should resign for literally abandoning his state with not even the Lt. Governor aware of his whereabouts.
Bruce, I think our country will probably be destroyed in three years. I was at a tea party yesterday and heard some very inspiring speeches. We are concentrating on 2010 and hope to change the balance in the white house so we can get some people in that really care about what “We the people” think. I am with Sarah I don’t really care what they call themselves as long as they truly care about our country and keeping the freedoms that we have.
Hi Alisyn,
Yesterday your blog opening said that you were going to bed before the fireworks start;and today you indicate that its a little rough getting started because of fireworks. “OOOKAY”. I will forgo comment because its too nice a day to be edited.
Have a great day and enjoy the rest of the Red White & Boom!
Paul-Eau Claire. Wisconsin.
Both are true! I did go to bed before the fireworks started but that doesn’t mean i can sleep through them…
Most of us are very afraid that the current administration is leading this country down the tubes. I truly don’t think anyone in the government reads the bills that they support and pass. So anyone can slip any diabolical legislation in and get it passed. There is no longer any belief in the adage that you should never sign anything which you haven’t read.
The rash of infidelity by people in leadership positions makes one wonder if anyone can be trusted. It is also sending a message to young people about how much one should value their marriage/partnership and fight to keep it strong and enduring.
Sanford should resign and Sarah scares the liberals and media to death. They can’t control her- she does what is right and not what they think is “popular.” That’s why she resonates so much with real people.
What is “MSM”?
It’s not Mighty Small Mouse.
Lol I am a little behind on my DVR but in all the years I have watched this show I have never laughed as much as i did when you brought that trophy out. Noone expected that. I can’t stop laughing, teach them two a leason later. I think your trophy proves you are more then qualified for this event. P.S. ank Dave Clayton where his emey is
Yeah, produce your Emmys Gentlemen! Then you can laugh at my distinguished hotdog award.
G’ morning Paul Boettcher , is it not a woman’s prerogative to change her mind?
Main Stream Media Ms Kristen.
RoseAnne, good point about not signing anything you haven’t read. You would think with all these lawyers in Congress that would be rule number one, but no. Not when they’re spending our money and not theirs.
MSM = main stream media
Thank you Chas
Main Stream Media–NYT, Newsweek, WaPo, LA Times, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC—to name a few. Should be called DDM–Dying Dinosaur Media.
Thank you Betty
They will say anything but the truth…we already heard that from the robot.
Georgia, I was totaly amazed at the tea party in my city. The people who put it together did an out standing job. I was disappointed at the turn out I don’t understand why some people don’t get it.
Retro, Sarah also scares the Republican establishment and elitist women who think that no one without a fancy college education can be intelligent. They simply can’t comprehend anyone not willing to “play the game.”
MSM is playing the BS card to discredit any person who won’t play their game. Controversy and ridicule are the highlights of their nonsense. They can make up lies and wait for the response. Olberman is the worst liar on the TV to date. The Tea Parties, Palin’s SarahPac, the 912 Project are a start of programs that help the real groups to get the real message of our people and that is protect our country, families and life styles.
This situation in Iran is why we shouldn’t elect leaders with NO experience what-so-ever.
Of course not keeping his word isn’t something Obama has a problem with.
chas
Will the 5 things to focus on to the the top in your field be listed on your website?
The Houston area Tea Parties had a pretty good turnout despite 98 degree weather with heat index of 102 at 4 in the afternoon. I really wanted to go but had family commitments.
Bruce, We had a pretty good turnout in Iowa. It was smaller than the previous one but it was the 4th so I wasn’t discouraged. I think people are beginning to get it but it is a slow process. I just pray for openings to talk to people and I have had some opportunities. One of my grandchildren finally see what is going on. Don’t give up, we all hate to admit when we are wrong.
Good morning you crazy kids~ I think Sarah’s reason has to do with something about being attacked every time she turns around. And it’s not only her. The awful things being said about her children. I don’t know how she got this far to tell you the truth. I just wish her and her family the best of luck no matter the reason or what she decides to do in the future.
As for Sanford….what can you say about a man who has no respect for his wife or sons? Or to the people who voted him into office. Leaving without telling ANYONE where he could be reached.
Oh Ali, that hoola hoop segment was fantastic! You go girl!
I think i pulled something.
Good morning everyone. Alisyn
That’s right Chad, I told everyone during the election beware this guy came down with yesterdays rain.
Good Morning Alisyn and to everyone on the blog this morning.
Please, enough with Michael Jackson!
Okay….good bye Michael
On Sanford, I’m disappointed in him and Ensign, but Sanford needs to just shut up!
It’s always been the question since Clinton’s debaucle as to whether we should hold our national and state leaders to a higher moral conduct. I think they should be held to a higher conduct, and if not we should hold ourselves to that moral equivolent.
Ed
sorry for misspellings!
I think Sarah Palin was in a no-win situation, and in that regard “forced out”. I will take her at her word. If she stayed as Governor, she would not be able to leave Alaska for other than strictly Alaska duties, without getting sued. I think her ambitions necessitated the freedom to travel whenever and wherever. So, her choice was to either forego her ambitions and stay as Gov., or risk the headaches and possible bankruptcy of constant lawsuits. (Remember, she is not a rich woman and does not have the backing of someone with money, like George Soros.) I believe she was unwilling to be hamstrung as governor and, more importantly, put her family through all of this.
Sorry Chas , I have fat fingers
Maybe C layton is getting a Klingon…
chas
I personally will be so happy when all the hoopla over Michael Jackson is not being talked about every other minute so we can concentrate on the important events that will affect us all.
No problem Bruce. I’ve been called a lot worse.
While some may FEAR a woman who can shoot and cook her own dinner, fight political corruption, run a state AND a marathon, braid Piper’s hair, put together a pipeline deal, work with her husband, run two households with 4 kids (while praying for her 5th child so far away), command the Alaska National Guard and make speeches while all the time having that cute baby on her hip and looking fabulous. But, I, on the other hand ADMIRE her. Sorry Ms. Dowd-your jealousy is showing.
just thought that you ought to know that Navy Medical personnel attached to Marine units are called CORPSMAN – medic is an Army term. I at least thought that you people at Fox would know that. Sloppy, Sloppy, Sloppy.
I agree since I doubt Ms Dowd can walk and chew gum at the same time.
chas
soozer, I went to the tea party in Conroe and there were about 2000 or so people there. It was good but too long and it was hot. Joe the Plumber and Mattress Mac were great. They also had a huge contingent of marchers in the Woodlands Parade. I was being the Statue of Liberty for the Marine Corps League and couldn’t march with them but I found them when we were waiting and took a picture with them.
Clayton’s surprise. 6 foot 8 Kobe Bryant.
You and Dave have a big cheese sculpture for Clayton! Can’t wait to see his face and see if he eats some of it.
How’d you know?
Who was the guest on today who discussed a depression by 2012?
Gerald Celente
I think Clayton’s suprise is the cheese statue of Lincoln.
Well said Soozer.
Sarah….don’t let me down! Palin 2012
Ed, I think this has gone on since Washington. Now you can’t cut the cheese with out some knowing. For me it’s all about the lying.
What is under the sheet for Clayton? How about that cheese statue of Abraham Lincoln? Clayton loves cheese.
Soozer, great description of Sarah! I went to the tea party in Conroe. There were about 2000, I estimate and it was good, although hot and too long. They also had a big contingent of marchers in The Woodlands parade.
Alisyn, i keep waiting to hear something about the one thing i remember most about michael jackson. that being the time he bought a cryogenics machine so that he could be brought back to life in the future. anyone remember anything about that? or about what happened to the machine he purchased>
Good point Bruce. It’s amazing that since Nixon they haven’t figured out that the cover up is more the problem than the event.
It was the same with Clinton.
Americans will forgive much, but hate being lied to.
chas
I’ll bet that under the sheet is a 6ft. 8in. I phone .
Is Clayton’s suprise a sculpture made of cheese …the one in a likeness of Abe??
They sold it to pay off his massive debt…lol
chas
I don’t remember the guys name but look up trends.com or trends research should get you to his site.
Soozer, great description of her. I went to the tea party in Conroe. There were about 2000 there, and bunch marched in the Woodlands parade yesterday, too.
6 feet 8 inches behind the curtain? Lebron James!
Bruce is right that this kind of behavior has gone on since Washington, and even before, in fact since the beginning of time. However the difference is that it used to be a hidden and shameful thing not something to brag about. And therin lies the downfall of marriage and family and society.
Maybe under the sheet is a giant hot dog!
Maybe there is a giant weenie under the sheet!
I don’t think we are addicted to junk food, I think we are addicted to the convenience of junk food.
I was so naive when I went to college I was shocked when I wrote a paper about Benjamin Franklin and found out he cheated on his wife!
Has to be the cheese statue of Lincoln under that sheet. We know how much Clayton loves cheese and history.
Great turnout Retro! I feel that trends guy is onto something. People will only “get it” when they realize what they lost just isn’t coming back. The time to stop this nonsense in Washington is NOW! 2012 will be too late. We have to turn it around in 2010.
I guess I don’t feel so bad then Retro, we had about 1500. Wheeling is the 4th largest city in WV about 29,000 although we draw from eastern Ohio and Penn.
Morning Joe.
I dont remember his name.. but I think it was something like Clemetie.
Morning all,
Gov Palin is not finished with politics. The MSM needs to do what it should do at any announcement…listen and pay attention to what is said….She will be working for causes and candidates…She cannot afford the legal bills ($500K) and does not like what it was costing Alaska ($2M).
Gov Sanford has talked his way into needing to resign. He should have kept his mouth shut and let MJ completely take over the news….
Gerald Celente—Google is your friend.
Sarah Palin- I believe she did the right thing by stepping down. She looked at what the media is doing to her family and her to her state and she felt that was the only right thing to do. She will run in 2012, and I do believe she will be the first “woman” president. But if you read her speech over, I bleieve she was saying that it is alright for a man to quit his position in government (senator Barack Obama) but she will be looked down on for resigning early. She knows that things will never be equal when looking at her and Obama. Sarah and her family are so far in debt over all of these accusations that the media has risen. Sarah will go out and do speeches and make money to pay off her debt and raise money for one of the biggest campaigns that our country will have ever seen. Sarah will run in 2012 and she will beat Obama. Srah will turn this country around and bring it back to the great country she always was.
Sanford-He has disgraced the GOP and needs to step down now. He should’ve stepped down the day he rambled on and called his mistress his “soul mate”. How does one do that to his family on national TV?
Hotdog eating contest- Clayton will win.
Under the sheet is the Abraham Lincoln cheese statue.
The surprise is the life size cheese figure of Lincoln…does he get to “take a bite?”
http://www.trendsresearch.com
His first name was Gerald.
chas
Good morning Ali and crew…Hope you enjoyed your holiday yesterday. Ali your tardiness is excused! It happens.
Well, where to start… The fireworks here in VA Beach were terriffic! Mt Trashmore, as usual was booming! So I hear anyway. Wife and I went to the beach and met some friends, where we had dinner, and watched the fireworks on the beach! Wow, they were fantastic! However, due to the economy, they certainly did seem a bit shorter in duration compared to past shows. Better than no fireworks I must say! I’ll know the economy is turned around when the fireworks shows take longer than 15 minutes!
Quick opions – Sandford should step down, Palin did, Drop the big one on NK, and Michael Jackson was always the king of pop for my family, sad that he is being revered now that he is dead. Where was all the media reports about what a wonderful father he is, while he walked the earth? We all should have embraced his talent with more kindness whlie he was alive. Don’t think we will be privledged to have such a wonderful talent again in our lifetime…RIP Michael.
Marion Barry back in the news? One word comes to mind… Smooth Criminal.
Hi Al,
About the suprise for Clayton, Fox got a hold of the cheese sculpture of Abraham Lincoln that was displayed yesterday at the Lincoln Memorial to go with his frozen potato fries snack.
So, behind the curtain is a cool-be (colby or cheddar) Abraham Lincoln. Bon apetite!
Have a great day!
Ed
Why is no one acknowledging that Michael had Lupus which may explain why he took so many pain pills and pills to help him sleep? Pain and insomnia are serious symptoms of Lupus and stress can make it worse. Getting good sleep helps in lessoning the symptoms which may be why Michael was using the Deprivan and other drugs to help him feel well enough to be able to get through the rehearsals. His Lupus may have progressively gotten worse leading to Michael’s drastic measures in using the Deprivan. Why he chose not to speak about having Lupus is anyone’s guess. As with any debilitating disease, it is sad that dealing with the pain and insomnia sometimes leads to such drastic measures of coping. The rehearsal video is a testament to Michael’s strength and stamina considering the Lupus and potent medications he felt he had to resort to in order to continue his unique talent.
It’s “Cheesebraham” Lincoln under the sheet.
hi ali,
snack foods addictive ? absolutely
if they all start out tasting the same-how do you make yours different in the marketplace?
add salt, sugar, and fat-it is like the components of msg-
Fox and Friends with out Allison would be like french toast with out Cinnamon.
I think Clayton’s surprise is either:
a) Bubbles the Chimp
or
b) a huge hot dog that he and Dave are going to chow down on
I would think that IF that were the case someone that knew MJ would have revealed that by now.
The truth is more than likely much simpler.
chas
Ali…Queen of the Hula Hoop…brings back thoughts of my childhood.
Mornin’ Aly and “The Boys”
The Conservative (majority) folks in this country are HUNGRY for a voice of common sense and the nerve to speak up. I think Palin is that person. She demonstrates more cuevos then all the “Good Ole Boys” combined. MSM like Dowd, not a journalist, it’s a cat with claws out. Frivolous law suits tied up her time and finances, state business was suffering,she did what most would not have the integrity to do…step down, roll up her sleeves, take the gloves off.Nothing strikes more fear to our Liberal enemies (those who put ideals ahead of country) than the truth. Pre Obama needed shovels to clean up DC…now they’ll need a fleet of BobCats.
Please, less Jackson, more news.Dead heads of state have gotten less press.He was a great talent, greatly flawed. Enough.I celebrated the 4th by printing and reading the Decl. of Independence and Bill of Rights.Never before have I been so moved to devote my time to save our great nation and our freedoms.
The lady in the blue dress is beautiful.
If MJ had Lupus, the researchers would have been all over him to announce it so they could use him to get grants and funds…
MJ like Palin i’ll wait till I know the facts. Right now the facts are MJ is dead and Palin resigned. The end
Really Bruce? I thought he moved to the island JFK is living on with Elvis.
chas
what is going on with the south carolina murders seems to me this is very important news which i have not heard anything on this this morning
Clayton loves cheese. We love Clayton. The surprise is either a carving of Clayton made of cheese or yesterdays Abe Lincoln.
Judyann, nicely said.
As for Sanford, was the bar ever made lower than an entire generation of kids taught oral sex wasn’t sex? Remember interviews of kids asserting this by saying, “the President said so?” Sanford is a dope who (literally) screwed himself out of a shot for the Whitehouse. It’s up to his state to decide what they want. We have far more important issues to consider, like the bankrupting of our nation and the loss of our freedoms so many died for. Let Mr. and Mrs. Sanford figure it out for themselves.
Actually Chas the island is part of Area56
Who is this so called Doc. talking about romance. I’ve been married 38yrs and we still have romance mostly on my wife side but I do to
Good Morning, Ms Ali, and the Gang. Hope you all had a wonderful 4th.
The thing with the redoubtable Ms Sarah might be no more profound nor secret than that she is fed up with her family members being attacked by a merciless press and disreputable politicos. Too much about Trigg, and her motivations and actions about him, might itself and alone have suggested to her that enough is enough. There comes a point in personal and family attacks that might cause one to retreat from the public field and go in another direction. Vicious attacks like these, and those on Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, etc., are much of the reason that we generally get only lower tier sorts going into public service.
Alisyn,
I have a question for you guys this morning (Sunday). With there being 17,000+ tickets being given out for the M. Jackson memorial at Staples, what is to keep some people from scalping/selling these tickets outside Staples just like a football game, all in the name of making a buck off of Jacksons death. Sad but I bet it happens.
Thank You !!
Doug
Is everyone on this blog extremist? Raise your hands please! I need a good count. When referring to liberals as “enemies”, that’s quite extremist. That’s saying you flat out refuse to work with them. At least it’s not that bad in Washington. McCain and Biden are still friends.
Who here thinks all liberals are your enemies, besides Judyann?
Good Morning Alisyn,
About Clayton’s surprise behind the curtain, it’s the cheese sculpture of Abraham Lincoln that was on display yesterday at the Lincoln Memorial. Now, Clayton can have warm cheddar cheese to go with his frozen potatoes.
Bon apetite!
Have a great day!
Edna
Keith Ablow rocks. How dare this “clinical psychiatrist” say that Mrs. Sanfords motives are” saving her husbands job”?
Years ago my sister was having difficulty in her marriage, and being the supportive sister , I supported her decision to end her marriage. Sadly, I couldn’t foresee the devastating damage to her kids. Her husband was a jerk, and these many years later,she is well rid of him. But I believe her kids were irreparably harmed . It changed the entire course of their lives.
Good Morning Cap, hope you had a great 4th.
I agree Cap I just call it the 3rd law of nature. You protect your family at all cost.
What about all the vicious attacks on Obama and Sotomayor? Is that OK Cap?
Morning Cap,
I agree. Who would want to put their family through the mill the press puts you through if you are a Republican?
chas
Good morning Alisyn and fellow LTD’S,
I am up FINALLY! Houseful of company expected today, so I am trying to wake up sufficiently to start the food, but do have time to spend a while here. You look lovely again today, Aly. S arah is going for the brass ring, I must think. Mark S, really needs to step down, I must think. I hate food eating contests!!!! YIKES! What is the present? I am waiting like the rest, to see. Not a clue, so C layton may read my comment!!!!! ~~giggle~~ looks like a rash alert is in order perhaps? Altho, I am just awake, so will scroll on past, to read more worthy comments.
I think there’s much more to the Palin story, but we may never know what it is. If there is no more to it than she says, then she’s much too thin-skinned to be in politics anyway.
The families always suffer more than the elected person. The public is unmerciful when they think they can influence an elected person by going through family members. It is a disgrace. We rarey have competative school board or city commission or country commission races here.
Liz why do you like to keep things stired up???
Good morning Alisyn,
Lost my first good morning, so suffice it to say, I am finally awake, and you do look lovely! lol
Ali, where is your necklace you are wearing from? My anniversary is coming up and it looks like something my wife would love!
Thanks, enjoy the show…
Carolynro, since you are a teacher, why didn’t you homeschool your kids if you dislike the public school system?
Good morning, Cap….very well said.
Cap, nicely said and very true…It is a wonder that anyone, except maybe egomaniacs, go into the political arena. The personal attacks on people need to end.
I’m just trying to make this blog “fair and balanced”! Anything wrong with that? It’s too one-sided!
There are bigger and better things for Gov. Palin. Like I said yesterday, let Sarah be Sarah. Quit speculating and just wait.
If anyone ones to help her, go to teamsarah.org
Well, the Republicans still have Romney and Huckabee, until they cheat on their wives. Anyone wanna take bets?
John Coale…a Democratic trial lawyer… as you already know…. started up the “Alaska Fund Trust” which is paying for Palin’s legal bills. I believe there is an ethics probe about it. John Coale is Greta Van Susteren’s husband.
Excellent post Cap, and I think that must have been everyone’s first comment, when the news came across she was stepping down. Enough already!!! But, hopefully, she isn’t done at all, and we will see more of her liberating message. Regardless, I think stepping down was a responsible thing to do, and not quitting at all. lol
Liz, I have never really understood what “liberal” and “conservative” really mean. The Framers were not focused on those supposed poles, but rather on “tyranny” vs. “anarchy,” and most of those who seemingly fall within both “liberal” and “conservative” camps [Teddy Kennedy of the former and Ronald Reagan of the latter] both function at the tyranny end of the Framers’ scale – they are both Statists. I know some so-called “conservatives” think they are descendants of the Framers’ views, but very, very few are. Indeed, Ron Paul is the closest of modern politicians to the Framers, and many laughed or scoffed at him.
Palin is also making 11 mil off her book deal… she’s not having money problems.
Cap, you are so revered on this forum…..the Messiah?
The robot gets paid to be here.
I can name one poor adviser/worker for Palin… Meg Stapleton.
I wonder if Sarah’s publisher is having second thoughts. I hope she talked to them before resigning. Just like I thought, she has a “writer” to help her…..the journalism degree for real? I wonder! Hmmmmmmm
Mornin Gini rash alert not quite strong enough. What do you think maybe blonde?
You wanna pay me Sal? Hey, I’d love it. I do hope to get paid for my article tho!
Gov Palin has a higher calling. I think maybe Senate or Congress? Gov. Sanford will resign, and probably move to Argentina. Under the “sheet”? Flat screen TV.
Hi Rob…very nicely said. lol
(7:36)
Good Morning Gini… I hope you had a great 4th.
Good morning Sal…and how are you this fine morning. I have issued the Rash alert, so one must needs, stay off the grass as well? lol Very contentious, when engaging with some, hum? The sun is not out!!! YIKES! And I have a houseful coming today. lol
Not as exciting as some I can see, but very nice. Dad is dong great, and did understand it was the 4th of July. He did not enjoy the noise of the fireworks, however, in the neighborhood. lol hahaha! Poor baby…but, we had a nice day for sure.
Wow, what has this country come to ? I think that people like Down and Letterman are jealous of Palin and her success. I am really surprised that the entities who Dowd and Letterman work for allow them to show their lack of character in the press and on national television. I think that she needs to sue some of these people for defamation of character, something that Dowd and Letterman do not have at this point in time in their careers. Dowd has the audacity to call herself a “journalist” and get away with her rants in the press. Letterman showing his perverse tendencies on national television by commenting on Palin’s children and then giving a lame excuse claiming he was “sorry”. I don’t think so ! What Dowd and Letterman did was in poor taste and it is a shame they are gettiing away with it. Buth then again our president is not setting a great example because he makes rude and disrespecful comments on national television about people who have opinions that are different than his.
Both Dowd and Letterman should be fired for their misuse of their professions and the people who are in charge of these two ought to have the guts to fire them. Just like Don Imus got fired for his rude and disrespectful comments. When you use your professions as a means to defamate someone’s character then it is time to retire. The bitterness from Dowd and Letterman makes you wonder how they got their jobs in the first place with so little character and personality.
morning again all…been in and out…..
Liberal = progressive; Conservative = regressive! At least that’s the way it is at this point in time.
That’s what happens when the left is too far left and the right is too far right Cap. I think the left has a better balance right now tho. The right is pitiful and I hope that will change.
The conservatives would have us in a deep recession or depression, but luckily we kicked them out, and they are still complaining. They still want to strip us of some of our rights, but the left will never let that happen.

OK, I’m a little late this morning — always a rough start after a holiday that involves fireworks…
I could not have said it any better!!! Morning Ali & All
morning Me!

Romney and Huckabee? I’d rather vote for Boehner.
Nice jab about infidelity…*cough*spitzer*cough*edwards*cough*mcgreevy*cough*barney frank’s lover running a male prostitution ring out of his home*cough*
I like that phrase Obamageddon.
Very original.
chas
Gotta’ love Sarah – she’s got everyone going nuts trying to figure her out.
Who was the guest you had on today regarding Obama’s economic policy. I think he was on in the 8 o’clock hour.
I gotta go to work so let me leave yewns with some Forest Gump “stupid is as stupid does “
Hi Jimmy hope you have a wonderful independence day!!!!
Bruce…wouldn’t want to insult the blonds, hum? I think bored to death, little knowledge abt anything at all, and disrespectful to the max, would define this rash event, or so I have observed along the way, as dif people have tried to engage, to no avail, and usually attacked thoroughly for their efforts.
The official recommendation fr Cookie Czar, is to apply masks, scroll past, and definitely KEEP OFF THE GRASS!!! YIKES!
Good Morning, chas, Liz K, Frank C, Sal, gini; hope you all had great 4th. The one downer for me is that the entertainment hole of the annual Boston Pops Fireworks show is shrinking; I might have to go to Boston to see it in person next year. But we had great fireworks here, and eats, and patriotism, and good cheer – and one of the best rendtitions of the Star Spangled Banner ever. And the Marines were here to present the colors – and to share their tanks and APCs with the kids [of all ages]. Good times.
Ruth…that’s because it’s been so long since thery have seen and honest person ! LOL
Morning Jimmy.
Hey Bruce, you stole that line from me….it applies to you! LOL
James C.
bye Bruce! Have a great and safe day. lol
Hey Liz! Do you still think Hillary wrote “It Takes a Village”? Law degree=writer? HMMMMM
Later! Go Barney! LOL
Me…..we did have a great day….lots of grilling and cold beer…and lots of company!
Wow Cap…
Sounds like a wonderful celebration!
morning Sal!…have a good 4th?
I was very disappointed in the Boston Pops coverage too….coming in at the end of the 1812 Overture???? They did the same thing last year.
But, Liz, even labels of “left” and “right” are meaningless in the Framers’ world [which is the only one of which I am concerned], because both of those are merely flare-outs on the respective sides of the Statism/tyranny end of the relevant spectrum between tyranny and anarchy – I, and the Framers, try to find an acceptable balance that is much farther toward [but not at!] the anarchy end, which is where liberty resides.
Morning Cap,
I haven’t watched the Pops yet, I have it Tivo’d though, so don’t tell me how it ends.
chas
Chas… hope you had a great 4th… Morning Eileen.. and Carolyn.. Mary.. Bruce.. Frank.
morning Liz K,,,,,,I know….but I love the 1812 overture……just when you think everything is lost….they come back fighting ! Love it ! LOL
CAP, the kids always have fun around equipment, military, fire, police….we are near FT Bragg and our area really pays homage to the military people at this event as well as Vets Day.
And yes, Hillary did write the book herself because she wanted to “stand by every word.” She did have help, but no ghostwriters.
They were Statesmen Cap. Nothing that passes for that is in view today.
chas
Well, I don’t want to be an anarchist Cap, not yet anyway!
Good morning James…or so we have been told, anyway. Prob a wise decision, on his part??? YIKES! lol
IF anything said would be the truth, of course, which one doubts. Seriously, you don’t really think anything said is true?? NOT, I think. Boring tho, so I am scrolling past. ha!
Mean, disrespectful, uninformed…suspect no friends, especially no male friend(s).
we want tell you Chas…..
Liz, read Liberty and Tyranny and then get back to us when you can discuss this stuff intelligently with some background. Right now it is kind of a waste of time to discuss it with you. You just don’t have the education but there is a lot out there which can help you acquire it. If you don’t choose to avail yourself of it it’s like a group of adults trying to have a political discussion with a 6 year old, frankly.
Yeah, Liz K; I don’t know what that’s all about. They used to play the whole 1812, which, with the Army cannons shooting across the Charles, is one of the great musical experiences of all time, yet it was shaved back last year, and even more last night – most disappointing. They should go back to the 2 1/2 hour complete show.
There’s my Bush!!!! he’s such a cutie
excuse me…..won’t tell you ! LOL
Gini, you are so full of “dribble”! Hilarious! Have you found a man here yet? I hope you do soon! LOL
Yes Jimmy
it was a great day didnt even have to leave my house.. we could see the fireworks from my yard.
Call me naive, but I believe that Sarah Palin is simply doing what she feels is right . Right for her family, right for her state, right for her country. I said it yesterday, I’ll say it again, just because she doesn’t get credit for the points,i.e. holds the post as leader, doesn’t mean she can’t effect change for the better, can’t contribute to the win.
The statue of Abraham Lincoln, made out of cheddar cheese is under the sheet.
Sal…we go out to the club after dark…..they do the fireworks over the lake……beautiful !
Sorry, Retro…..I’m just not ready to get into any conspiracy theories, but maybe someday. You never know! LOL
Me… I agree about President Bush… but not the cutie part.
Ali, love the Vets tribute…the stories of real heroes
Uh huh, Liz. Google Barbara Feinman. The jury is still out.
I agree with Michael Reagan’s assessment about Palin 100%.
mornin Sal I just think cutie with his sense of humor & his silly ways I just smile so huge when I see him
Retro…good morning. A conclusion everyone who has tried to engage, has come to. I do love to read your comments, however. As you can see, attacks are the end game, and every single fan on this blog has been thoroughly attacked at every single turn, and threatened w/a law suite, in fact.
Under the sheet…. a lifesize painting of the curvy couch and weekend occupants??
Good morning Gini, what I am thinking is what this person is wishing and piling or her nieces, nephew and cousins children’s is such a debt. I did not mention he children because surely the force will not let such a contemptible w I t c h bear her own children. Bring it on to your little kin.
Ps: still waiting for your name, address and phone number so someone may contact you to discuss things in person like you said we would not. Surley there is someone near Detroit/Warren.

It’s a cheese statue of Abe Lincoln…
We had a great parade and it was fun being the Statue of Liberty, and then last night we went to the Marine Corps League party on the lake who had sponsored the parade thing I was in. It was great- fireworks going off all over the lake, and a nice cool breeze. Lovely relaxing time.
Why do you keep giving Garofalo free publicity?
Hi Ali,
I think it’s the cheese sculpture of Abe Lincoln under the sheet.
cheese sculpture of Abe Lincoln
Madison had the Regatta yesterday & almost lost a driver, praise God he is in stable condition but boy it was scary to watch them doing CPR right there I believe that it was the power of Prayer that saved that man! thousands of us all praying at once very moving
Elizabeth…I agree w/you. We don’t know what she is going to do, but whatever it is, I do look forward to her efforts to spread the message of freedom and liberty. lol
Wow, Dallas had 37.000 at the tea party in plus 100 degree heat. Awesome.
Elizabeth
I agree…
I HATE eating contests! YUK!
Me..lol… I know what you mean..I smile also when I see him….he is a great person.
OMG! Good on ‘em!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Wow, Dallas had 37.000 at the tea party in plus 100 degree heat. Awesome.
Retro…and you were lady liberty in the parade, I read last nite? Tooooooo fun, I think.
WOW what a turnout and no FOX hype…what are they going to say now?
It is amazing that people idolize a man who was self-destructive and the final result, dead at 50 ! Yes, he was talented, but to self-destruct by choice like he did is a tragedy. He did not take care of himself mentally or physically. He always looked weak, especially on the video when he was walking in a suit coat and pajamas to a court hearing. I am sorry, he was not healthy emotionally or physically and he did not seek help that would help him lead a healthy lifestyle so he could watch his 3 children grow up. Michael made bad decisions throughout his young life and they caught up with him in the end. Who killed Michael Jackson ? HIMSELF !
He had so much plastic surgery which possibly led to his addiction to a drug that is an anesthetic to get sleep. If you need an anesthetic to help you sleep, you are in desparate need of psychology help. How about the skin bleaching question and the fact that his nose was so tiny you could barely see it which possibly led to breathing problems. Not to mention the bad example he was setting for his young children by taking all of the prescription drugs. It would be better to idolize people who make better decisions concerning their life. His family life growing up is irrelevant. He abused his body his entire adult life and now he is dead. Instead of getting Michael help, each family member and friend just stood by and watched him self-destruct. Everyone who thinks he looked good on June 24th at rehearsal is blind.
The tea party movement is gaining steam and it is interesting some of the major spokespeople happen to be black when the tea party goers have been accused of being racist. Two of the speakers at the Conroe tea party were black. The last one was a dynomite speaker- really inspiring guy.
Eileen…we did all pause to say a prayer, and I am relieved to hear he is going to be ok, despite his injuries. lol
I got disconnected from the net when I started churning out my response to Me writing that Bush is a “cutie”! Uh, Me, I darn near spit my Starbucks all over my laptop! Please give warning before writing any more humorous absurdums – Please!
Morning Retro… hope you had a great 4th.
I think dave is turning green!
Dallas had a tea party, but there’s not a single word about it in this morning’s Dallas Morning News. Even if you go to their website and search for “tea” it only shows a video from a local TV station.
I have noticed that too, Retro…. black leaders, no Fox news hype, and very few politicians….that makes it harder and harder to ignore and ridicule.
Gini, it was fun, but the costume is very hot. I think that is why they asked me; I was the only sucker among the oldfart ladies who would do it, LOL! Also the costume is small and I am a runt. The Marines have a beautiful float that is a cutout silhouette of the Iwo Jima flag raising and then two red antique cars- one is a convertible and I ride in it in the costume.
Well Cap…he is a “cutie”, so if one doesn’t like him at all, that is a good definition, and if one does admire him, it’s a good description, and if it made you laugh right out loud, then that is an excellent result also. She’s amazing isn’t she? Always fun and funny, regardless, I think.
Laughing being excellent medicine for the spirit and the soul, hum?
By the way…your “head out of the sand” yet? Now…talk abt laughing right out loud!!!!!!! My my my…lol
Even from the ridiculous, can make one smile and laugh, hum? lol
gini, I live in the sand! And that sand is cooler this year than this time last year!
Hi Sal, had a great 4th, hope you did, too.
BETTY YOU WERE RIGHT!!!!!
I was waiting Cap… I knew you were going to say something about..what Me said about Bush…lol
why doesn’t Lincoln have a neck?
Cap careful you never know whats gonna come out of my mouth LOL
37,000 people show up at an event and the Dallas Morning News doesn’t report it? Gee, I would almost thing maybe they are biased and have a liberal agenda if I didn’t know better. Funniest thing, huh?
Please ask Roger Ailes to broadcast Pres Bushe’s speeches even though he is retired. I guess we missed a good one in Oaklahoma yesterday. We need the good news badly in this socialist climate. Also Gov. Sara Palin is a good example of how to run a personal life and a political life. God Bless her and her family.
Retro, the tea parties as you well know are not about Dems/Republicans, Black/White issues. They are about all Americans that are fed up with paying higher taxes and watching government intruding into every aspect of our lives.
No coverage on the tea parties, is anyone surprised? I think not.
As government interferes more and more with the taxpayers, you will see more tea parties.
By the way, did anyone see the “one” yesterday? I know I didn’t. Wouldn’t ya think he would want to say something about Independence Day. Maybe I missed it, but I saw nothing but coverage about MJ.
Hi, Gini- the Statue of Liberty thing was fun but the costume is really hot. But, if it helps the Marines, what the heck. Little enough to do. Not as hot as Afghanistan and Iraq and nobody was shooting at me.
well Retro….we all know whose pocket the mainstream media is in !!! LOL…..or maybe they were too busy covering the WH cookout ! LOL
Cap
Read that excellent post last nite also.
Gini, tried to tell you hi but this thing ate my post. It seems to be eating every other one. Hi and yes, the parade was fun.
On the tea party discussion, the one close to me was cancelled because the cops would not give permission/access to the area?/! That rather proves the need for more of the events, say what?/!
Mary, so true. I did see a brief comment by the President. Looked like he was speaking on some balcony sort of like one of those South American dictators who appears to allow himself to be briefly lionized by the great unwashed below.
Sarah Palin is embarrassing women, by being all over the place, something they accuse us of all the time. Thanks Sarah, who is advising her.
Joy,
By the way, How come there are not any Blacks hosting FOX and Friends. Do I know the answer; I hope it is not true.
Thanks, gini.
what was the site, Cap?…..public or private property?
capmotion, where are you?? The cops were directing traffic and helping at ours.
He was on tv briefly a couple of times yesterday, Mary. One was at the WH party for the military and then a recorded thing during the Capitol Fourth. I dound other things to do during both.
Jimmy: I think public; I think it is the same place we had the original one. Don’t know the details yet, but will soon.
Well all, thanks for the fun and friendship….have a great week all
My mom & I love love love your heart necklace your wearing! Who makes it or where can we get it.
Thank you
Sherie
Joy, you must not watch Fox very much. There are black people on the shows all the time. There just was a black tea party spokesperson on this morning. Katie Couric and Keith Olbermann aren’t black either; do you think their shows are racist?
The Right to assemble, (if you can get a permit). The Right to redress grievances against the Government, (unless they don’t like what you are against).
“Rebellion to Tyranny is Obedience to God”
chas
Retro: that one was to be in Palm Desert, California. Interestingly, I learned at our fireworks last night that there was one only 5 miles from me yesterday morning, but it had not been publicized on the tea party website, so few knew about it – which is kinda counter-productive.
Cap….I think we still have the right to congrigate??? Another Dem. Regime violattion of the Constitution!!!! Well…there’s another lawsuit !
Kelly Wright use to be on Fox & Friends weekend… but does a show later in the day with Jamie.
Autopsy on McNair??? Lead poisoning in the head – what mystery could there be about cause of death????
Thanks everyone once again for your thoughts and company. I hope you have a great week.
Have a nice week Ms Alisyn.
chas
Sal, who was the 3rd chair with Mike and Juliette?
Cap, they need autopsy to confirm that McN is really dead…
Have a great day chas.
later Chas !
Juan Williams is on all the time. There are numerous other black people on Fox all the time. I don’t particularly notice or care what anybody’s race is, though. I am more interested in what they might have to say, but then I am not racist in judging people and that is not one of my criteria for viewing choices.
Yes, Sal, Kelly wright is an anchor, and Charles Paine is a key person on Fox Business. There are also several Fox contributors who are black. I don’t believe I’ve seen any black anchors on any of the other networks.
Frank… I think his name was Jullion?,
I cant remember his last name… but I do remember him.. he was a cool dude.
Fox News Alert ! M J is still DEAD !
later guys ! LOL
Yo, chas; have a pleasant week.
Since the tea party movement is so grassroots and not sponsored by any “professionals” sometimes the publicity and production is volunteer and not slickly done. Hopefully as it gains exposure it will become more publicized.
Julian Phillips…thanks Sal
Oh yeah, Julian is very good. All the Fox hosts have been good. Aly being of course, TOP OF THE LINE!!
Thats right Liz K …hmm… wonder what she was geting at? you know.
Retro…it’s eating my most excellent posts also!!!! ~~laughing~~ ONLY the excellent ones, of course.
ha!
On the other hand, it didn’t eat ONE Cookie Czar post! Not one, to my amazement! lol Go figure…hum?
Your welcome Frank.
Love your necklace!
The race card is often used, when one has nothing intelligent to say, the object of course, to inflame the conversation, and the necessity to defend, of course. This isn’t abt color however…it’s abt the Constitution, and so every citizen would be concerned, regardless of their position politically or their color…that’s why we see all those who are educated, on board w/the tea party events, with no ulterior message except the Constitution, and the liberty it gives to us all.
Can NOT agree with Michael Reagan’s assessment…calling Newt the only one to lead the Republicans, but accusing Sarah Palin of giving in??? Wasn’t it Newt who gave up Speaker of the House along with his 11th term election?????? Newt bailed (chickened out), and I’m still having a hard time believing he wouldn’t bail on the people who voted him in, if pressured again…and he wasn’t HALF as bashed by the media as Sarah Palin was/is. (Michael Reagan must have forgotten about that). I would love to see the blog writers, media outlets, etc. being sued (just like the National Enquirer has been) for ANY defamation of character towards Palin and her family…I hope her and her lawyer follow through.
Also agree with most posters…ENOUGH OF MJ…Let the man REST IN PEACE!
Amen Retro.
Well said Gini.
Cap…wouldn’t they be searching for drugs, etc, to see if there would be more to this story? McNair…an explanation for his apparent suicide. IF that’s what happened. My hubby thinks it was a robbery! lol But, I guess we will have to wait and see what the police decide. lol A sad sad story, for sure, and I do feel so bad for his fam, again…they will feel the brunt of it all. lol
PNW, be nice. Michael Reagan’s only relevance in any debate is his last name – he hasn’t much of a clue about anything, and no time should be spent analyzing his “analysis.”
gini – no one believes the many-times-shot [included in the head] McNair committed suicide! More likely is that the woman with him angrily shot him up and then killed herself.
Ah ha!!! Chantix makes you crazy, and coffee helps fight bad breath!!!! lol
hummm…and coffee drank by women, reduces the chance of stroke. Well…there ya are!!! lol
I have always liked Juan, but his attitude and Language changed after the election.

I am more interested in what they might have to say, but then I am not racist in judging people and that is not one of my criteria for viewing choices.
Gini, if it was suicide, I doubt that he is the one who committed it. He has several gunshot wounds; she had only one.
Alisyn: You and FoxFriends have kept me sane during my maternity leave! I LOVE your necklace that you are wearing….where can I find one like it??? Going back to the career would be so much more enjoyable with that around my neck!
gini – I answered, but it disappeared. He didn’t commit suicide; she did.
“Obamageddon – 2012″ (Gerald Celente) Maybe the Mayans were right…..
Sal…I am having a houseful of company, and the sun is not out!!! lol In fact, it looks like rain!! YIKES! And dad is FREEZING to death, as well…and not happy abt it at all. I have him covered over w/blankets, to no avail…brb. Must address the cold feet…
My answer to that disappeared too, Cap. Of course I may well have hit F5 instead of submit….seems I do that frequently lately!
Good “late” morning everyone….
Yo, Marine; it’s almost tomorrow!
I wondered Cap. I heard that he was shot several times…and then I got busy for a sec, and didn’t hear the rest of the report. That certainly would have led one to believe, he wasn’t the shooter. lol So, they have decided she shot him, and then turned the gun on herself? lol Again…tooooo sad, for sure. lol
LOL … Cap…i stopped in yesterday too but everyone had left for tomorrow already
Oops! Closed some tabs…maybe that will help w/the comments being eaten? Hi Dom…
Hello Gini …. how goes it?
Gini..I hope not..but its still early..it will come out soon ..we hope so.
James…he (J aun) did do an excellent job in B ill ’s seat the other nite. He did chg, to my amazement. I was disappointed he didn’t just stay put, doing his usual, but he did hop on the bandwagon. Maybe he is done w/that now, w/everything that has happened. He should feel totally disappointed in this man he supported, hum? I would have to think so. lol
Ms Ali, no copying of the program? Highly unlikely – what if someone complains to the FCC about something on the program and the FCC demands a copy? Is your answer really going to be “we don’t make copies any more”? Uh…, if so, you need to make changes in your legal department, because you are not getting good advice on that subject.
Morning Marine.
What was the website of the guy that is forecasting “Obamageddon”?
Dom! It’s cloudy and chilly! YIKES! Not much fun, when one was planning to be on the deck and in the pool, hum? But, Sal is right, and being Ohio, that can chg very fast. lol I thought the forecast said sunny today? I am sure it did at one point or another. ha!
Hello Salvatore … nice to see you
Oh dear, did I miss something important about copying the program? I couldn’t stand to watch the hotdog segment so jumped in the shower.
Ah Cap…she shot him, and then herself? That is just too sad. lol
Well Gini …. it is sunny someplace. I have forgotten what that looks like
I was hoping to see MORE COVERAGE of the July 4th “TEA PARTIES” that went on all over the USA! There were over 1300 of them! Come on Fox News! Show them to us!
Thank you Alisyn
Well Dom…soon enough you will have as much as anyone would need, hum? lol
Found the website ….. http://www.trendsresearch.com/
I hope so Gini….say a little prayer. Either way, i plan to have fun
Alisyn,
So you know what we are taking about….I am taking my wife to Jamaica this month…she knows that. What she doesn’t know is that I arranged to rebew our vows on the beach … bought her a new ring and even got her a dress (with the help of one of her friends) to wear forthe ceremony.
Does your wife watch the show, Marine? If so I hope Alisyn doesn’t mention your romantic plans on the air!!!!! Your wife is a very blessed woman!
Only occsionally Liz …. I am the F&F fanatic in the house and relay the important stuff to her. Anyone that can live with me all these years Liz, makes ME the blessed one. I have trouble living with me sometimes…..lol
Marine1967, you are a wondeful husband. Your wife is blessed.
Just doing a quick review.
Nice to see you got some time to come back and respond to some of your bloggers Ms Alisyn. I’m sure they are very happy about that.
chas
Dom
~~sigh~~
Capmotion,
Although this wasn’t part of the program today, but with you being the resident, revered attorney on this blog, my roommates and I hoped you’d settle an issue for us. What’s the deal with President Obama’s birth certificate?
Our discussion is getting somewhat heated here! Help me keep the peace!
Do we need a retainer?!!
After I was so careful Dom!!!! YIKES! Well…you will have to keep her away fr F&F for a sec, anyway!!!! lol
We want PICTURES!!! A little joy in the news PLEASE, would be welcome. lol
Have a great day everyone.
be back later.
Thank you Kristen …. but as I have said before …. I just hoe she says “yes” the second time….LOL
marine1967, my roommates and I would like to clone you.
Yes Kristen …. I would really like to know the status of his birth certificate also ….
bye Sal…posts still getting eaten, but some have shown up. lol
Have a great day. lol
Well…for goodness sake!!! Three down, or was it two? Kristen. We would alllllllll like to know the answer to that question, however, would seem it’s a huge secret, and those in power have no intention of letting the citizen in on the answer, hum? All the while, I am required to have mine, to leave the borders of this country. YIKES! A conundrum, for sure…
Liz’s posting have a tendeny to close the shop.

July 5th, 2009 at 9:49 am
LOL … Cap…i stopped in yesterday too but everyone had left for tomorrow already
LOL James … tend to agree
Kristen, I am sensing that the birth “certificate” is really the alternative birth proof decree that one can obtain by court action for a home birth baby whose birth was not attended by certifying people. They result from declarations and affidavits of people who witnessed the matter, so one can “prove” virtually anything with those sorts of things. I have no personal thoughts of the matter, although the relative who claims to have attended his live birth in Kenya certainly sounds convincing. One day the truth will accidentally emerge, and I suspect it will be that he was born in Kenya.
Just old school Kristen …. cherish, love and respect what you have
She does do that, so the comments are definitely down James. And so it goes, however, one needs only scroll past, and the conversation can continue between the fans that come here, and are interested in discussing the news of the day. I sure do miss it, when the fans of Aly, feel they shouldn’t come because of the rash events.
This person shouldn’t have that much stroke, actually, and I am sure she is happy she does…her purpose? Could be it is to shut us up, as well as shut this blog down, hum? She certainly is no fan of Alisyn, as her posts clearly show her disrespect for the rules of engagement on this blog.
Cap…whatever happened to the aunt who was living here illegally? Never heard any morea bout that? And again, no one, except the people, seems to be questioning the non-existence of a birth certificate for the President of the United States.
Cap …. do you know whatever happened to the aunt that was living in the United States i l le gally? And I wonder why it is that now one, except the people, are questioning the absence of a birth certifiacate for the President of the United States? Doesn’t anyone in authority think that is strange?
Does anyone know if Obama’s sister is an American Citizen?

Cap …. do you know whatever happened to the aunt that was living here in other than legal ways? And I wonder why it is that no one, except the people, are questioning the absence of a birth certificate for the President of the United States? Doesn’t anyone in authority think that is strange?
Third time I tried to post this
Marine1967, you are sending tears down the faces of all us ladies here.
Grrrrr….i have tried to send an email about his aunt and it will not go through
Gini the first day I logged on she was saying someone had threatened her. I did not know whether to hit summit or not. I think now it was here making the statements to get something going.
Does anyone know what happened to the “Os” aunt that was not here in accordance with the law?
I don’t think any one in his family is an American at heart .
What she had to say today was out of the blue and was totally uncalled for … I was elated that no one responded to her. I mean if you want to have a debate about the news of the day, I am all for that. After all, that is what most of us are here for, to hear the views of other. We may not agree, but we respect the person and their right to have their own views. We,most of us, do not attack the individual.
I remember when you came James, and it was just after she started w/all the nonsense. Hopefully most stuck around, so they could see she is the offender, not the fans who post here…I am awfully glad you stayed. lol
Capmotion,
Thanks’ for responding. We thought you might ignore us. If we might press you further: some in the group state his mother was an American citizen, regardless as to where he was born, he would be an American citizen. How do we combat that? We have no pre-law people here, can you tell?
How do you combat what Kristen?
Kristen, the rules regarding children of citizens is not so clear, and it has changed many times over the years, so one would have to review the law as of the time of the birth to come close to an answer. Now, a child born to an American citizen mom would be an American citizen if the mom lived in the US for 5 years before the birth, and if 2 of the five were after the mom was 14 years old; that has only been the rule for less than 25 years – one would have to research the law at the time of Obama’s birth to figure your question out, but it is not as simplistic as some think.
Ohhh…I get it…never mind
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
No luck today at all w/the posts, and I am being very careful! hahahahaha…but, have important things to tend to, so am off to do just that. The sun is out…hope it stays out! lol
I knew about that law, Cap, but didn’t know when it went into effect. I know that many have used it in their arguments, so it is good to know that it wouldn’t apply to him….now to find out what the law was then. I won’t be doing that today, though….much to nice a day to be doing research. Thanks for the info.
I’m leaving also….everyone have a great and safe day. Stay well…..bye
I’m out of here too…have things to do before we play in the golf tourney this evening. Hope everyone has a great week.
Gotta run. You all take care, have a pleasant week, and see you here again.
marine1967, we ladies wish to double-clone you if that is possible. We’ve emptied our tissues boxes. Sorry if we were not clear. The majority here state if President Obama was born to an American citizen, he would be considered an American. A few side with capmotion that if he was born in Kenya, he is not an American citizen. I think we got capmotion’s comments right. So how does this group combat that being born in Kenya to an American mother not make you an American citizen?
Gini I saw a lot of names those first few days that I don’t see anylonger. I tellmyself that some of it has to be vacation.

Cap,
my question would have to be concerning all of the Constitutional laws that Obama is breaking.
i.e. Firing a private interprize executive, Appointing all of his Czars into Governing positions, no elections by the American people. Slamming huge bills containing, many laws being changed without feeling any need for the American tax payng and voting citizens to have any voice or knowledge of their content. Not to mention the Republican party not being allowed to see the contents.
And the list goes on. I don’t understand how these things can be done in any legal form.
I don’t know….. but it looks like Gansta Government to me.
I don’t understand how all of this activity can go on unquestioned?
Don’t we have anyone to investigate ?
Are there no Constitutional Lawyers ?
What is up with Our Government, and our elected representatives?
Am I the only person that is outraged by all of this?
Did anyone consider that Sarah Palin might be leaving for family reasons which entail another little Palin in the works? Just curious…. Also, Gov. Sanford has not only humiliated his wife with an affair, he has also shown very little emptahy for her feeling and NO respect in telling the world he found his “soulmate”. Do we really believe Mrs. Sanford is sitting at home playing Meredith on Grey’s Anatomy pleading “choose me, pick me, love me”? I’d send him packing to his mistress.. Great example to set for your son’s future relationships….
I can’t believe that Fox News is still talking on and on about M.J.
R.I.P. Michael …. if they will let you ?
James….there are those who are regulars, and are here, just when they have time. With the summer, one assumes people are busy, for sure. I’m not going anywhere, however, so there ya are!!! haha! lol
We who have been coming for a long time, have experienced this b/4, actually. She’s bound to get tired of it all, and find another space to harass, hum? Or better yet, a space where she is more comfy, hum? There are certainly enough of them out there. She has invited everyone to leave, or told them they are being sued forthwith, and other outrageous comments, one wonders why she bothers with us at all. Wish she would go away, for sure. And she will, eventually, no doubt. Until then, we issue regular RASH ALERTS as needed.
~~laughing~~ Might as well have a bit of fun with it all, don’t you think? lol Sure! We are not w/o humor here, after all.
Hi Brenda…sure. I think everything possible went thru the minds of those listening. I don’t care at all. She’s rather wonderful, and I am sure whatever her plans are, we will be hearing fr S arah.
Brenda…yes, of course. But, don’t care at all. Her reasons were valid, I feel, and I look forward to whatever she has in mind. She is an amazing woman, I think, and I feel strongly she will continue to be a player. lol
Sarah Palin, will do what God want’s of her, in his timming.
I believe that the question of Obama’s citizenship comes from not only his birth place but his obtaining school aid for foreign nationals.
The US, if memory serves, does not have dual citizenship. Now depending on the laws of the Country he claimed to be a citizen of, he might have had to renounce his US citizenship.
This differs from, say England, who always maintains you as a subject of the Crown no matter what you say. In other words you are always English, even if a legal citizen of America.
So actually it has more than one edge of the sword so to speak.
Cap, feel free to correct any error here. It’s not my area of expertise.
chas
Chas,
Italy used to be a dual citizenship country. Was true in 65-68. I think it also depends on the Status of Forces Agreement with the country of birth.
Sindi…
Exactly Chas…but w/no info, this will continue to be debated, and no one seems to be able to get the information needed to send this to the courts. Lots and LOTS of money behind this man…but, of course, I don’t think evil ever wins, so we will know indeed, exactly the facts of it all, eventually. A better question is, can he be prosecuted if it is found he actually lied abt it all? and does anything he signed stand? lol
One would think not. lol
Can those who facilitated the fraud, be held responsible for treason? Another good question…and one would think they could be held as participants in a fraud?
Brenda
Have tried several attempts to chat…but so far, they are all in cyber space.
I agree….
Again…huge trust put in the process of it all. I guess that was a mistake also. The lib left apparently continues to have no conscience at all, regarding truth.
My point, exactly, Gini, and thank you for bringing it up. I am very interested in cap’s and chas’ insight on this subject. I have wondered as well, about the rules of citizenship, and it is very interesting to hear it from an attorney’s perspective. However, as I was reading all of that, I thought to myself, this might not be necessary at all if the man would simply release the information. For goodness sake, if it’s all legitimate, then there should be no reason to hide it. To hide it only adds to the fervor of the whole thing.
And to think there is a legitimate question to his citizenship is very frightening considering the Constitutional crisis it would create if he is not a citizen. And I believe that you are correct, nothing he has signed would be legal, and in fact, he and his conspirators would all be held liable for fraud. I’m not sure if it constitutes treason, but at the very least, fraud. This matter is so much bigger than Watergate and anything that their hated GWB could be accused of. And I’m afraid that that probably answers the question about why no one is pursuing this matter. Since all the money is currently in his own corner, there’s not enough to support those who are questioning the matter.
Home for lunch, I have to laugh Gini I’m patching a whole in a ceiling

Well I keep trying to post a reply to you, Gini, but I must be on the censored list this weekend. In short, I agree about anything he signs being null and void, and the Constitutional crisis that may be created if he is found to be a non-citizen, is very frightening.
Critics will say “she quit in the middle of her term or she cannot take the HEAT”, however, she has well stated she will not be a lame duck Gov as many have and she is doing what is best for her Faith, Family, Alaska, and the Country. Alaska now has a full time Gov and Gov Palin now has the opportunity to strengthen the areas where she was weak and travel the country and help other Conservatives win in the 2009 and 2010 elections.
Here is her PAC http://www.sarahpac.com/
GO SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capmotion,
My name is Madison. Kristen and the rest of my sorority sisters are confused. We are going to scour the campus to find a pre-law student. We realize that doesn’t measure up to your expertise; however, we hope the individual will explain further and allow us to ask intelligent questions as to what you’ve proposed.
Until then, for right now, it’s back to the books. Good week to all and to all a 4.0 in all endeavors.
And too Capmotion, thank you for engaging us.
Marine1967, we’re stocking up on tissues here. Please share your Jamaican trip with us.
Thanks,
Madison
Kristen
OMG Bruce. Get over here and fix mine would ya??? Still not fixed!!! Carpenters are NOT out of work, apparently, and not interested in small jobs, would seem. lol
That is hilarious!!!!
Kristen and Madison, welcome! You ask interesting and timely questions. I’m so relieved to hear that the young people of this wonderful country are listening and discerning and asking questions of their leadership.
I fear the possible crisis we will face if it is indeed determined that our president is not a legal citizen as defined by the laws of our land, including the guidelines of citizenship at the time of his birth. I submit that the most troubling aspect of this entire matter is his refusal to produce the doc u mentation that would answer the questions once and for all. It it’s not that big a deal, then why is he making it such a big deal?
Kristen…you will find many many smart people on this blog, so we hope to see you often. lol
Welcome to a most wonderful blog…
And Cap is great for sure. lol
As is Chas…and many others. You can click on the names, and be thoroughly informed abt the view points of any number of people who blog here. Very very smart, indeed. You will enjoy, even if not in full agreement with it all…
Madison…welcome!!!!
We love new and energetic, smart citizens. lol
The consequences of whether he is a citizen or not, certainly could be settled easily enough, I agree.
He apparently, does not wish to share that info w/the citizens, so questions will naturally be asked, and speculation will run rampant. lol
Ms. Madison,
The ramification of the this situation, should the allegations prove true, are staggering.
The concern over a foreigner taking office was of paramount importance to the Founders. Of course, in the years that followed, the concerned waned. It would seem that once again their fears and concerns come to fruition because we, as a Nation, have ignored their guidance.
“Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.” Th. Jefferson
Good luck with your studies.
chas
Gini, are you the blogger asking about Obama and the citizenship dilemma?
Two monorail trains crashed early Sunday morning in the Magic Kingdom section of Walt Disney World, killing one train’s operator, emergency officials said.
The transit system, which shuttles thousands of visitors around the sprawling resort each day, was shut down while authorities investigated the holiday weekend wreck.
The monorail operator died at the scene of the crash, which happened around 2 a.m., said Bo Jones, deputy chief for Reedy Creek Fire Department. The other train operator was uninjured, but was taken to a hospital because he was emotionally shaken. Jones said five park guests were treated at the scene, though the Orange County Sheriff’s office said six were treated.
Judyann……
It was Kristen that was asking about his citizenship.
Just got a chance to catch up on comments. Liz. Two thoughts
1. Don’t quit your day job.
2. How is all this working for you?
Ms Judyann,
Actually it was Kristen who brought up the subject requesting the insight of Cap, who happens to be a Lawyer.
chas
Gini – I am sorry we couldn’t chat as my IM appears to be on the fritz today and not behaving properly! Have enjoyed your posts today a great deal.
who was the gentleman you had on this morning, sunday July 5, 2009, that called Obama a facist, and was a bright man that had predicted many finacial disasters. I would like his website, his name and any books he may have written.
thank you,
tricia

My two expansive comments have disappeared, so I’ll write it briefly – yessiree, dual citizenship does exist here, especially where kid born here of parents whose citizenship is there. [Let's see if this banal version publishes.]
Wow, Ms Ali, you should do something about your censor-o-matic system, when simplistic comments can get through but thoughtfully expansive ones on the same topic cannot.
Hey Capmotion,
Good to see you back.
I asked you a question about 20 min. after you left earlier.
I’m not asking you to reply,soon or ever if that is your choice.
I am only letting you know that I did have a question for you.
BTW……… Good Evening !
Humm Capmotion……….. would that be Artillery ?
Oh hi there Ms Gini, I almost didn’t see you
Hello ………. The Lights are on…..Is there anybody home???????
“ The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”
Cap informs me that there is indeed dual citizenship in the US. My error.
However, the Constitution does not address a dual citizenship as in being eligible for the Presidency. Mostly because the notion did not then exist.
Time will tell, but I doubt this will ever reach a Court high enough to hear it. The humiliation would be way to severe for the Country.
chas
Umm…. I didn’t think anyone was still up, so I put up a little American Graffiti.
Sorry, my bad
Well, someone here once told me to check this website about another issue, so if you don’t believe this one then what would it take? I think it’s a dead issue….period!

Hey is that you ms. brain dead ?

Hey Liz…

Yes, yours Mac! Guess what? I am the Queen of the New World Order and you will be my slave!
