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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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”?

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

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!

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.

Who was the guest on today who discussed a depression by 2012?

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.

RASH ALERT! See what happens when I oversleep? Good morning Bruce. and Cap!

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!

Well, the Republicans still have Romney and Huckabee, until they cheat on their wives. Anyone wanna take bets?

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?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Maya Kassandra Soetoro-Ng
born August 15, 1970 in Jakarta, Indonesia[2]) is an American high school history teacher and university instructor in Hawaii

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.

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

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,

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!

Tomato plants have been removed from stores in half a dozen states as a destructive and infectious plant disease makes its earliest and most widespread appearance ever in the eastern United States.

Late blight — the same disease that caused the Irish Potato Famine in the 1840s — occurs sporadically in the Northeast, but this year’s outbreak is more severe for two reasons: infected plants have been widely distributed by big-box retail stores and rainy weather has hastened the spores’ airborne spread.

The disease, which is not harmful to humans, is extremely contagious and experts say it most likely spread on garden center shelves to plants not involved in the initial infection. It also can spread once plants reach their final destination, putting tomato and potato plants in both home gardens and commercial fields at risk.

Alisyn…love fox news, big big fan.

Good morning Sharynn…

Mornin all,I.m ready to go to work, just thought I would check for life one more time.Gotta go though must finish a whole before I move on.lol

Why are you saying she has ONLY 2.5 years of experience as a governor? Isn’t 2.5 years as governor more experience than a community organizer? She made “yes/no” decisions affecting her state and never voted “present.” She knows what she wants and how she is going to get it.
We need to applaud the lady, not pyschoanalyze her. She will let us know of her political ambitions, if any, when the time is right. I, for one, believe she is doing this for all the right reasons.

Gtni is that GOP site on word press with you,Chas and Frank open to all?

What does “Higher Calling mean?”

If we never hear from her again, it means she has decided that living as a hockey mom is a higher calling than serving the public. (And she may be right)

If she begins laying the groundwork for a run for the Presidency, it means she suffers from the same inflated sense of self-importance as other politicians. . . God is calling and annointing her? She is the new “One.?”

John McCain never should have called her. Although bright and charismatic, she lacked experience and familiarity with national/international issues. She even lacked experience as a governor.

McCain chose her (1) because she could energize the evangelical wing that remained tepid in their enthusiasm for him and (2) because she is a woman; maybe she could pick of votes of some disenchanted Hillary supporters.

It proved to be a case of the Republicans giving in to liberal identity politics. Many “conservative” commentators began flatulating about the new progressive Republican Party, no longer exclusively stodgy old white man candidates, etc. etc. etc. She even identified herself with continuing Hillary’s work of breaking through the glass ceiling.

During the liberal Bush years, Republicans found it difficult trying to be Republicans. What made us think we could be Democrats?

Good morning Bruce,
A gorgeous day here in Ohio, and I still have a hole in my kit ceiling!!! YIKES! Perhaps the one son and his friend, who is a carpenter, will after all, come and fix the stupid thang! Pretty tired of it by now. Not funny anymore!!!! No…not open Bruce. Too many “rash” citizens out there to have that to contend with, hum? lol ~~chuckle~~ YIKES! Will chk on that, however, if you wish? lol

Good Morning
Everyone keeps talking about Gov Sarah Palins next move… or is this the right move,
if you listen to what she said in her speech… she said she could not do her job because most of her time and her staff… were defending her against these false allegations on ethics complaints,
and it was costing the state of Alaska 2 million and put her 1/2 million in debt,
and she said it wasnt fair to the people of Alaska,
and all these attacks against her is one thing…
but to attack her family is another story…what would you do?
if she were to stay and finish here term then they will say she didnt do anything for the state of Alaska the last 4 years because she had so many allegations of ethics complaints against her,
Sarah Palin has a book deal coming… .take it from there,
she will do whats best for her and her family.

Good Morning Gini… yes it looks like a nice day.

Hi Alisyn! We had the pleasure of meeting you, Dave and Clayton on Saturday morning outside of your studio. You were all so much fun, made our last day in NYC so much better. Thanks for being so kind and gracious to everyone. We love your show!

I agree Sal…and whatever she decides to do, I am sure it will be a noble effort in support of her beliefs and her family…she’s rather marvelous I think, and am anxiously awaiting her next “move”. I am also a bit tired of the guessing games going on abt her, and the continued attacks against her every move. To be expected, I guess. lol

WordPress is eating comments again today Sal…I agree w/you. lol

I have to go to work Gini….you have a great day.

secularsquare…..you hit the nail on the head! Bush had the most liberal presidency of the last 25 years. Sarah proved that she is too thin-skinned for politics, and McCain is regretting his decision daily. Sarah lost her Democratic allies in Alaska when she ran for VP. They are the ones who were helping with her agenda, NOT the Republicans. I remember when she even praised Obama during the campaign when she was talking to Larry Kudlow, before McCain tapped her for VP. My how things change.

I will Sal…you too!!! RASH ALERT RASH ALERT…heads down folks, incoming sniper fire!!!

More sniper fire coming Gini as more moderates infiltrate the blog…..keep your head down!

Very nice blog secularsquare!

Seems some would assume much, when no names were mentioned? Must be, if the shoe fits??? Yep…a guilty conscience, one must think.

WTF are you saying? LOL

Hi everyone,

Been away awhile and have been reading your comments. Regarding Sarah Palin’s resignation, I don’t think anyone but Sarah Palin knows why she decided as she did. I do know that the treatment of the media toward her has been relentless. It isn’t a matter of being “thin skinned”. First, she has already paid a half million dollars of her own money to fight against liberal snipes who have been conjuring up any silly, frivoluous charge they can think of to discredit her. Why? Because she is extremely popular, and they see their “anything goes” agenda as being threatened. Even if she doesn’t run on the 2012 ticket, people respect her because of the standards she upholds. She is intimidating to them because her standards are higher than theirs, which is easy, since they DON’T HAVE STANDARDS. They are bearing no expense at all by their attacks; so they can do this indefinitely. Sarah Palin does not have unlimited personal funds to fight them–not on her governor’s salary which is pathetic compared to others I’ve read about. These attacks only began after the election when they saw how popular she was. They have been so relentless they have impeded her form performing her duties as governor as effectively as she would have liked. I don’t blame her for passing the ball to someone else. Whatever she decides to do, she has the ability to change the upcoming elections for the better, by infusing her conservative ideals into the mix.

Hello again,

One of the big things a lot of people seem to be panicking about is the question of who will represent the Republican Party, now that South Carolina’s governor and Sarah Palin have surprised us. This may seem strange to some of you, but I don’t think it really matters who represents the Republicans, because Obama is the one representing the Democrats. By the time he gets through, Americans will happily elect ANYONE to the office rather than him. I MEAN ANYONE (a skid row drunk, a hooker, a drug dealer, a used car salesman, a teacher fronm West Virginia . . . you name it.)! He is getting more unpopular by the day. The Dallas tea party had 30 thousand participants. Colin Powell, who crossed party lines and voted for this guy, is now coming out and criticizing him for his insane spending. Even the LIBERAL press is getting harder on him, and I NEVER thought I’d see that! Even poll numbers say that Americans still like him, but they are getting very disenchanted by his policies. So, don’t worry, conservatives. Help from the White House is on the way!

There’s no easy solution to this horrible economy, but I do think he’s doing much better than McCain would have…..of course that’s speculation. I do like the fact that most foreign leaders like him and are willing to work with him. This news conference in Russia is going very well.

Biden does it yet again! Your hero Liz? They unestimated the economy. WOW What great leaders we have Praise the Lod for Obummer he missed yet again. Aren’t you sooooo proud of him Liz? Bush too liberal Liz? Your trying to be conservative? Sarah is a better person than all the women in bummers adm combined. How’s that for outgoing fire Gini?

Hi Roy,
I would certainly have to agree with you. lol And it can’t come too soon!!!

John! ~~laughing~~ You are just spot on, yet again. lol

Well, at least they estimated it…..while the liberal Bush admin. ignored it completely while they continued to spend, spend, spend…..and pretend they were watching the purse strings! Too funny for words!

Al Franken on didiots…..this is funny!

Hey Everyone,

Liz, I like the fact that other world leaders “like” him. What I don’t want them to do is view him as a chump! That is what I fear is going on now , especially with North Korea.
And Secularsquare, why pick on Bush now that he’s out of office? I’ve heard liberals say that conservatives are always looking back, but at least we do so for a good reason. We feel that what we are looking back at is worth preserving. But why are YOU looking back? And how long is the left going to pick blame Bush for what they are doing? Bush is out of office. Haven’t you insulted the guy enough? There’s no need to INSULT him. The “anything goes crowd” has already accused him of being dumb, and that’s okay. But PLEASE don’t call him a liberal! That’s an insult to the poor guy. If you’re gonna call someone a liberal, pick on someone who belongs to PETA. Find a member of NAMBLA. They really ARE liberals and their ideas for where this country should go are in the same vein as those of most other liberal “thinkers”. I love Anne Couter’s book, entitled, “How to Talk to a Liberal , Assuming Anyone would want to talk to one”. The woman is a genius! My goal as a teacher and citizen of the United States is to somehow convince liberals to stop watching MTV and switch to FOX. Or, at least, I hope they’ll read, “Economics for Dummies” (if such a book exists).

He’s anything but a chump….although that’s what the right wants you to believe. He’s used strong language against repressive countries, and you can’t deny that. As for Bush, OK, maybe he’s been knocked around enough, but over 50% of the country still believes he is to blame for the mess we’re in and only 6% blame Obama, and that’s only because they are uneducated, basically. We call Bush a liberal because his spending habits rival theirs and even exceeded any liberal spending admin. to date. They only pretend to be fiscally conservative, just to try and trick people into believing that.

Anyway, there are many good conservatives still out there, but Obama has taken the last good one and made him ambassador of China. I hope they can come up with some others….I really do.

If anyone should know all about idiots, Al Frankin should.
With regard to Sarah Palin, I take her at her word. I believe she left office because she feels she can do more good in another setting. Given how the liberal hatchet people were going after her, she is probably right. She is spending herself dry trying to defend herself against these nutty charges.The same hypocrites who criticize her for abandoning the people of Alaska should ask themselves who is paying for Palin’s legal bills. In case they don’t know, I’ll tell them. SHE was paying them, and what is left over the people of Alaska would have to pay. These rediculous hack liberals can do this junk indefinitely without concern about their own shrinking wallets. A half million dollars is a lot to come out of ANYONE’S salary, especially the pocket of the governor of Alaska, whose salary compared to other people of similar stature is pathetic. These clowns have not stopped since they election ended. They have attacked her family, her faith, her integrity, and everything else they could think of. Palin CAN be more effective outside the Alaska governor’s office. I take it she intends to perpetuate conservative values and ways of thinking; and that is a VERY good thing. Her “higher calling” I believe, is simply to help in ushering in a more effective group of leaders for America, and even if she does not do that as a presidential candidate, she can still be very effective.

Oy! Al Franken has an approval rating of 10.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama faces growing concerns among voters over government spending, the auto industry bailout and other economic policies, according to two opinion polls released on Wednesday.

Nearly 70 percent said they had concerns about federal intervention in the economy, including Obama’s decision to take an ownership stake in General Motors and the prospect of more government involvement in healthcare. Obama has made healthcare reform a top priority of his administration.

The poll also found that Americans were alarmed by the amount of money doled out to boost the economy and a majority thought the government should focus instead on reducing the federal deficit.

Both polls also found a majority of Americans opposing Obama’s decision to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Keep talking about Bush if it makes you feel better about your choice all you Obama fans. Bush’s mistakes cannot cover Obama’s just because so many of you wish they would!

56% of Americans do NOT want to pay more to fight global warming:

The times they are a changing, my friends!

Excellent statistics, Sterling.

Roy, are you sure it was the liberals coming after her in Alaska? You better check that out! I know she was not getting along with members of her own party up there. The Democrats were working WITH her and her own party was working against her. I’m not sure who exactly was investigating her, but I would find out before just blaming “liberals” in general.

I totally agree with all those statistics Sterling, who wouldn’t? I’m not sure I trust Obama either, but I definitely trust him more than I would have trusted McCain…..because I think he was Bush all over! I trust Obama 30%! LOL — He has all the best economists working on it though.

I’m sure ethics committees have to be neutral, but it seems that the total in legal fees for Sarah was actually closer to 296,000 and she is fund-raising to cover 600,000 that she says it cost her. I know you guys don’t like the Huffington Post, but check out this Alaskan’s “facts”. Until Sarah comes up with a breakdown of the costs, I wouldn’t believe anything I hear or read.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/akmuckraker/what-is-sarah-palin-think_b_225648.html

I don’t mean to be disrespectful at all, so please do not misunderstand me, but why would you believe what HufPo says about Sarah’s legal fees but not what she herself would say?

Roy,
I agree, and as is apparent, there are those who just can’t come into the moment, but continue to argue in the what if’s arena. Actually, as I recall, Himself won, and McCain and what he “might have done” isn’t even part of the discussion of the politics of what is happening at all. And so it goes, after all, when people w/absolutely no idea of what is going on, or the history of our nation {feeling strongly, and stated, they are “in the past and need to stay in the past”} try to interject themselves in the conversation. The “liberals” live in the land of justifying bad behavior by other bad behavior, as well as taking zero responsibility for the present state of the nation. We look forward to Sarah, and anything she contributes to the effort for more responsible, conservative, moral, ethical…citizens, to come forward to be leaders in this most difficult and tumultuous time. I do enjoy your smart and informed comments!

Sterling ~~sigh~~ She would rather discuss McCain, apparently??? and the “what if”, hum? Informed and smart are not the strong points observed by anyone at all, so a good question, but prob more of the same, in the answering, hum?

Mostly because she quit her job!

I took a lot of history Roy, so I do have some idea about what I’m saying…..believe it or not! If one of the liberal governors quit his job, would you be so forgiving? Of course not! Like they are saying all over today, there seems to be a “double standard” for Sarah, but who cares? She was “wronged”! But….who did she “wrong”?

I think she lost all credibility by quitting.

But Liz, that doesn’t make any sense to me. You’ve made clear that you’re not a fan of hers since you started blogging here. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t like her, but you can’t say it’s because she quit her job, because she just did that a couple days ago. That’s not a viable argument to why you wouldn’t believe her, but you’d believe the press about her. Did you not watch her speech on Friday?

OMG, I was replying to Gini! Scratch that last post….she wouldn’t know the first thing about it! LOL

Yes, Sterling…..her speech was “jumbled” at best. What did you get out of it? I came away with nothing. I’m going to check out her facebook page tonight and see if I can figure out anything.

I want a breakdown of why she was investigated and what was the cost to her and the state of Alaska! If she can’t do that, then she’s just not very credible. But if she can, then I will decide whether or not she was justified in leaving her post!

Ah…point and match, I think??? And so it goes….yep!

Well, Gini, sorry but I can’t make heads or tails of your posts most of the time. Are you speaking in code? Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t know that language. Since I actually replied to your last post you should be flattered! Hum?

Sterling, I have not been saying I don’t like her, just that I don’t think she is qualified to run for Pres. I think she needs a lot more experience in gov’t. and she just cut short her first term as Governor, which didn’t help her cause. She could be a good speaker for the GOP with a good speech writer….because I think she is “eye candy” for the majority of the GOP, which is mostly wealthy, older white men! I know that’s a sexist statement but that’s the way it is, and that’s why I really want to see some major changes in the Republican Party.

Wouldn’t you rather see someone like Megyn Kelly run for VP. She’s pretty AND extremly bright. She’s got a law degree and I love how she tells Bill O’Reilly what’s legal and what’s not. She disagrees with him vehemently sometimes. I love it!

Again…point and match! And the “shoe definitely fits” apparently???

Yes, my glass slipper!

Sterling: 42% of Americans don’t want their health insurance messed with.

It is well known that a platoon of liberal attorneys were dispatched to Alaska shortly after she was announced at the VP nominee last September. They were charged with digging up any thing they could make into a scandal to defeat Saraa. The legal bills she has had to rack up just to defend herself are nearing $2 million. It is a tried and true democrat tactic which is called the “politics of personal destruction” which has been used by unions as well to defeat their oponents. The funny thing was when the republicans turned it on Clinton. He didn’t like it one bit when it was done to him.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha ha ha! YIKES!

Hi Carolyn…how are you? lol

Very scary, isn’t it Gini. I personally wouldn’t keep visiting a place where I was considered …well, you know a play toy!

I am tired. I worked for about 5 hours on a project for work. Didn’t eat much so I am off schedule for sure. I had planned to walk but this project has been keeping me awake.

Me either Carolyn, hum? And certainly one does wonder. What on earth am I doing on the grass, anyway? Geezzzz!!! Need to take my own advice and KEEP OFF THE GRASS, to avoid SNIPER FIRE, which is constant, even if I have said nothing at all, hum? Rash Alert, may be in order I think. Attempts to be nice, are thwarted…mean spirited comments are plentiful…plainly not informed, proven, with no help fr anyone at all. Ha! Does that sum it up? Yep…

We moved the oldest kid again as he needs to live more cheaply while we wait for the stimulus money to get to Michigan so people will be able to pretend that the economy is improving LOL! I was listening to the school board meeting the other night and they won’t get their education stimulus until maybe October and even then they are still looking at a reduction in how much they can spend per student starting this month.

We are all going camping next weekend. The boys and the girlfriend are coming. Back to our old stomping grounds in northern Michigan. Then the following week I am off to college roomate reunion #2 in a Lake Michigan town. I may stop at a friends house on my way for a visit so I may be gone for 4 days.

Exactly Carolyn…it’s a huge mess. Programs are being shut down, students are being deprived of “all they should have”, and this fr the fellow who was going to change it all with his magic wand, helped along w/people, who apparently wear “glass” slippers, hum? I guess it’s no wonder it’s failing!!! YIKES!

Sounds like you have wonderful plans Carolyn, so I hope you get rested up b/4 you have to get tired fr the vacation plans!!! ~~chuckle~~ lol

Headhunter and Author Stephen Viscusi Wonders: Will Barbara Walters Tap Sarah Palin to Replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck?

This past Sunday, the political news shows and even the New York Times were all about Sarah Palin’s next career move. Everyone seemed to be guessing as to what her next job was going to be and why she resigned the job she had.

That’s where I come in. I’m Stephen Viscusi, a headhunter and author of two books on the workplace. My most recent book is called Bulletproof Your Job (HarperCollins), and I’m the founder of a company called http://www.BulletproofYourResume.com.

Let me be clear. Using no legitimate sources and acknowledging in advance that this is purely my own unsubstantiated conjecture, but speaking as a workplace expert, I’d like to scoop the rest of my fellow journalists by suggesting that Barbara Walters hire Sarah Palin to fill in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck, while she’s on maternity leave, on ABC’s “The View”.

Everyone else in the world has had their opinion, why not me? After all finding jobs for people and giving career advice is my business. So, I figured I should add my hypothetical two cents.

Barbara Walters is the grand dame, not only of interviewing, but she’s also one of the smartest TV producers and ratings grabbers in the history of television. Barbara, not that you need me to tell you this, but Palin would be a great addition to your superstar show, “The View”.

The fact that Hasselbeck will be leaving soon anyway for maternity leave allows Barbara to slip Palin in without insulting Hasselbeck, the resident conservative.

Whoopi Goldberg, who is the moderator and always a consummate professional, may not agree with the politics of Palin, but she’s no ratings dummy. She will politely transition in Palin, who will no doubt get a cold shoulder from the Joy Behar.

Doesn’t this make perfect headhunting career advice?

Do you think it’s a coincidence that Palin is resigning her office at the end of July and Hasselbeck is expected to give birth at the beginning of August?

I even have a “Plan B” for Palin if Walters passes up on my headhunting suggestion. Fox could grab Palin and give her – her own morning show. Sort of a counter-programming to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, which could be called “Morning Sarah”.

If Fox does a “Morning Sarah”, Palin could talk about being a mom and attract the majority of Americans who still consider themselves moderate while making moose burgers on the set with Martha Stewart as her guest. “Morning Joe” is sponsored by Starbucks while Palin’s show is more middle America and could naturally be sponsored by Dunkin Donuts. After all, “America runs on Dunkin.”

Well, that’s my unsolicited career headhunting advice for the networks and Palin. Let me know what you think.

You’re always welcome to write me with your career dilemmas, and I’ll answer you on this column.

Sarah is certainly no less qualified than our current commander-in-chief, and in fact, she has much more hands on experience than just showing up and voting “present,” and she’s got more than a couple years to prepare for much more. Judging by what is happening now, and the fears that are being raised by the recklessness of this administration, I think the country’s going to be more than ready for Sarah in a few years. We’ll need another Reagan-like leader, and Sarah may well prove to be that person.

She is a breath of fresh air to a lot of folks in this country who have felt that their representatives have given up representing them. She stands for the people, and as long as she is true to her character, she will go a long way. It may be an uphill battle, but she will prevail.

Stephen, I think that’s an excellent idea! Kudos for thinking of it. Let “The View” know, unless they already do! LOL

carolynro…..please don’t spew garbage unless you can back it up with facts! Thanks! Have a nice vacation. I’ll try to educate Gini while you’re gone! LOL (I said I’ll TRY)

OMG, no one has put in longer days than our president for the past 6 months! Doh! Looks like Sarah doesn’t even want to show up for her job….where are you coming from? Mars?

Gini, what do you think about Cynthia Davis…..she loves children….such a role model!

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/06/21/cynthia-davis-hunger/

Man! Point and MATCH yet again!!! Geezzzz! I LOVE it when I’m right! Incoming sniper fire…rash alert rash alert rash alert!
Stephen V…great piece!!! lol Loved it! lol Am smilin’ huge…and I agree. Your two cents are as good as anyone else, and put very well, I might add. lol

Reagan didn’t quit as Governor Sterling…..in fact he served 2 terms! I think The View is a much more appropriate setting for Sarah.

Ah ha! ~~smilin’~~ lol

Ignorance is bliss, but annoying to the total max! But, I LOVE being right…yes. lol

Gtni is that GOP site on word press with you,Chas and Frank open to all?
====================

My blog is open to all.

====================

I was going to post but the nonsense quota was exceeded.

Have a nice week. CYA Saturday.

chas

Absolutely Chas, and a wonderful read! As is Franks, and Sterling’s, and Carolyn’s, and others here at Aly’s. I have miss understood apparently. Bruce…I do not belong to a GOP anything. Some private correspondence only, and of course, not shared w/o permission. I have made some great friends here at Aly’s and some unsolicited enemies as well, would seem? lol I do read all the blogs posted here, and they are all excellent. open to anyone who wishes to click and read.

Oh yeah, I forgot how many hours it takes to fly across the ocean every couple days to trash America to our enemies. My bad.

And everyone sitting on your side of the fence said the same thing about Reagan, too. That he was inexperienced, a buffoon, and that he was unelectable.

Sterling I believe they are still saying that, hum? lol ha! They were wrong, however, no matter how many times it’s said. lol

Back atcha, Liz darling.

Gini,

“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.”
Thomas Paine

One of my favorites from Mr. Paine

Carolyn…she’s not very nice, is she. And that is patently clear to anyone reading. POINT AND MATCH, again!!! ha ha! I LOVE being right, hum??? lol Hi Sterling…mine as well.

It amuses me.

You always post excellent quotes, Sterling. One can learn a great deal from reading the works of the founders of this wonderful country. It is enlightening to see how many of their fears for the country are unfortunately coming true.

Liz K,

Try reading the debate notes from Madison if you really want to see how smart the Founders were. They were over 230 years ahead of us. They saw it coming even back then.

chas

Human nature makes many predictions possible, don’t you think?

I do agree with that, Carolyn, and unfortunately many do not learn from the mistakes of the past or don’t bother to even study the cause/effect of previous events.

Well, Gini: I have stood up against much greater things than sniper fire, believe me. I know who I am. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I just get upset when my friends are mistreated. You and the rest don’t deserve the abuse. You all have been nice. I admit I never even tried because I knew right away what the lay of the land was. You can say what you want about me but don’t disrespect my peeps! .

Loyalty is a wonderful character trait, Carolyn.

Yep, Liz K. that is why there is ACORN and all the other nefarious groups that capitalize on the dark side of people. The perfect union requires honor and sacrifice and generosity and self preservation. The founders knew that some would subvert their intentions. They did not know how many. And today we are seeing the culmination of that subversion- victimhood, purposeful fraud, negligence, dependence all promoted by a government that has become no better than the groups like ACORN. “Never let a crisis go to waste”, the words spoken by Obama’s chief of staff, speaks to the darkest, basest cynisim I can imagine. Always looking for a place to insert the agenda of the takers who dress themselves up as givers when all the time they are only looking for fame and fortune for themselves. Obama is not serious. He is playing a game. He may not even realize that he is the meal ticket for all the crooks he surrounded himself with. While we sit here and watch. They don’t even try to hide it anymore. This gang makes Hillary look honest. Good night!

Ae…thank you Liz. It gets me in trouble occassionally but it is worth it. Thank you for your friendship .

You’re more than welcome, Carolyn. Friendship is priceless, especially in the crazy world in which we live.

It amazes me that you will stand by someone who quits, no questions asked! And of course it’s all the libs fault. You don’t have a clue about what’s going on in Alaska do you? Sarah’s own party won’t work with her and the only ones up there who would were the Democrats. She threw so many people under the bus, including her ex brother-in-law, the she was investigated by the ethics committee – NON PARTISAN. Why won’t anyone here get their facts straight before spewing??? That’s mob mentality….and it gets a special mention in my paper! LOL Her ignorance civil rights and the constitution is causing most of her problems! And this is someone you want for President? Puleeeeeeeeeze! It is amusing me though, I must say!

AND I say again, Point and Match!

Her ex brother in law tazed his son and was abusive to his child and her sister. I would not only throw the jerk under the bus but run over him with the bus. I have this little intolerance of wife and child abusersbut I guess you think that is all right, huh, Liz? And as for changing jobs, people do it all the time. People quit jobs to come to work in the administration, what’s the big deal? Hillary quit the Senate to do it. It is a double standard.

Sarah was a reformer who went against the corruption in her own party, and those people don’t like her, naturally. The clean ones do. Now isn’t it interesting that Chicago has the most corrupt politics on the planet yet Obama is so well liked by HIS corrupt party there? This tells me something. Open your eyes, Liz. Talk about “mob” mentality- Chicago, the place where Obama was spawned, is the mob personified. Literally.

Liz, do you ever read about these issues? What books have you read lately? By the way, Liberty and Tyranny is NOT a consipracy book. Have you attempted to read it yet?

No, because I’m sure it’s very one-sided, just like Bill O’Reilly’s. I didn’t read Hillary’s book either, just because I have issues with her too. I do like a lot of the younger women in politics though who haven’t had time to become corrupted yet. I hope they stay that way.

Retro, what has Obama done that is corrupt that you can prove? There’s lots of innuendo, but nothing ever substantiated. I believe he’s honest and maybe Chicago will get a new reputation, who knows! LOL

BTW, Sarah’s brother in law was not Sarah’s problem was he? Her sister needed to resolve it through the courts. It was up to Sarah to avenge her sister, now was it? That kind of thinking is criminal Retro!

Hillary was running for President, doh! Then Obama named her Sec. of State. I don’t see the correlation at all, but that kind of bizarre thinking seems to be rampant here. LOL

Gini, what are we playing…..tennis? LOL

Hillary was a Senator and QUIT. She did the exact same thing as Sarah Palin, as did Kathleen Sebelius, Rahm Emmanuel, et al. People quit jobs and move on to other things all the time. Are you in your original job, Liz? If you don’t see the correlation at all,then you are not thinking fairly and logically.

As for Sarahs brother in law, is she her sister’s keeper?… to paraphrase a famous question. Sure, one can allow a family member to struggle in an abusive relationship and perhaps get killed, as many women do. Nobody with a shred of common decency would, but hey, maybe you are used to a family who doesn’t help each other. And no, she did nothing “criminal”. That accusation was not substantiated either. Let me tell you something Liz, I have a daughter. If her husband mistreated her, which thank God she is married to the sweetest boy inth world, but if she were abused, you can take it to the bank our family would get involved and put a stop to it. No way would we EVER allow that. And that is not “criminal”, it is the RIGHT THING TO DO.

Hillary never quit the Senate. She only vacated her seat after Obama named her Sec. of State. I’m not sure we are clear on that. Why did you think she quit the Senate?

Those people were promoted! Sarah was NOT! She quit for personal reasons, so it’s not the same at all. Doh!

Sure, Sarah could have helped her sister in many ways, but not by pressuring the Public Safety Officer to fire her ex brother in law. She pulled a third party into it and that wasn’t fair, was it? When he refused to fire the brother in law, she fired him. That’s why she was investigated. We are talking about two separate issues here Retro, or don’t you recognize that? The Public Safety Officer was not involved in their personal lives, therefore he was unfairly targeted.

No, I don’t believe anyone should be abused by anyone. Domestic violence has lots of victims, but there are ways of dealing with it without resorting to using your power as Governor to avenge your family. That’s abuse of power.
