Saturday Morning
Hi Everyone,
Perhaps you remember my interview with Rod Blagojevich earlier this year…he didn’t like it very much, said i wasn’t being nice to him. We get a redo this morning. Any questions for him?
What do you think of Self Magazine touching-up Kelly Clarkson to make her look thinner? Clarkson says she could barely recognize herself. The magazine says they always touch up photos to make the subjects look their best. What do you think? Would you rather see a pretty, albeit artificial photo in a fashion mag, or the real, unfiltered thing?

Hello!
test
It’s a little early for a test. No pop quizes at this hour.
Good morning Alisyn and to everyone on the blog this morning! Excited to be the first to comment this morning.
Sorry I will miss Fox and Friends, I have to go to work.
Darn Carolyn beat me! Hi Carolyn!
Two of my posts have been eaten already!
Have a great day Mary!
wordpress is hungry
Same here carolyn.
chas
Never mind…my posts won’t got through…..
Hi Chas.
Morning Ali! My posts are poofing re: your topics today
Ali: No disrespect but I am over Blaggo!
You look great this morning Ms Alisyn.
Another slogan for Jimmy. Great job.
chas
I knew that was Jimmy!
Morning Ali, more bla bla blago, what more did I want to know? hummm
I’m still getting over that a size 12 women is a plus size model, being a size 6 that freaks me out LOL LOL
It amazes me how diff people who’s pic’s are touched up look like in real life, I personally prefer the natural beauty in all of us, no one is perfect & gives the young girls delusions that they need to be perfect, say Kelli had a pimple some 13yrs seen it & felt “wow like me” not try to look like the perfect girl in the picture
Good morning everyone!!!
I’d rather see Kelly Clarkson as she is….she’s beautiful!!!
Good morning everyone.
Aly, ask Blago if he has any sense of shame.
Good morning Ali and all…..being from Illinois, I think most of us (and certainly I am) are tired of Bloggo. We were tired of his antics when he was governor and we are certainly tired of seeing him humiliate himself on the radio and tv. he was removed for a reason. But then, look at who he replaced (Jim Ryan – in jail) and who replaced him (fate to be determined).
Your story on air …. It is about time ACORN is investigated. If they are clean as they say, they should welcome an investigation to clear their name. But, I don’t think they are
Oh hello all you wonderful people! I totally agree about Kelly. Don’t we have enough problems without thinking we must have a perfect appearance?
Hey Dom. Nice to see you.
Ali, I think if Blago’s hair and Geraldo’s mustache got in a fight…..Geraldo’s mustache would win….just sayin LOL!!!
A little bit of Beatles. Oh Yea Yea Yea.
chas
Ms Ali, you sounded a lot like Paul.
chas
Hey I have that guitar hero set, I love the drums toooo much fun! I should get video of T & Me jammin you’ll be rolling
I don’t mind if they airbrush Kelly Clarkson. She probably needed it. But if they airbrushed Alisyn, that would be a crime!
I cannot wait to see how many people show upin Washington today for the Tea Party. I truely believe it is going to be amazing
I hope CSPAN broadcasts the Tea Party.
Also…be careful if you try to see how much money Joe Wilson has taken in since he yelled at Obama. I was attacked by a Trojan Horse when I was looking it up. Norton stopped it, thankfully.
Marine: I agree! Its really going to be huge!! And rightly so!! Everyone needs to speak up and be heard! And if this will help us be heard then that will truly be a great accomplishment, because no one was listening before.
Morning Marine, I’m looking forward to that myself! Sure wish I could be there too, the closest event if in Louiseville but I cant make it, BUT will be watching FOXNEWS Coverage from 1-3 (live)
Yes, I wish I could have4 attended one of the express stops, but I did attend a local one. I keep telling my representatives that “We The People” are watching and if they are not listiening now, they will hear us in 2010
WHO CARES IF KELLY CLARKSON HAS BEEN TOUCHED UP?
WE GET TO SEE THE REAL ALISYN CAMEROTA IN HD!
If Alisyn lost 30 pounds … there would be nothing but a head of hair on the couch….
Good point marine… we like you just the way you are Ally…
No need for weight loss or more height.
chas
I’m 6′ 4″ but I think 5′ 3″ is a perfect size for the hostess of F&F Weekends….
Morning folks! I wish I could have gone to Washington- couldn’t afford the time or money right now. The tea party protestors work for a living and fund their own protests, unlike Acorn and SEIU. We had two buses I know of going from north of Houston with about two hundred people, leaving Thursday night, driving straight through with shower stops, marching today and then turning around and coming back by Sunday night. More are flying out to DC. That’s dedication and real “grassroots”, not “astroturf”. They were asking on their website for people to donate if they couldn’t go to some who wanted to go but needed help to go. It cost $230.00 No billions in government Acorn money there, huh? I hope a million show up, and they just may.
Good Morning Alisyn, Chas, Carolyn, Me ,MG, DOC,Marine,Mark, Independent Voter
:)
Another rainy day in NY
I hope the Tea Party in DC will be huge. It’s about time the RIGHT made their voices heard.
I’m five one and a half with my hair foofed, a size four petite and 66 years old. I would like to lose about ten pounds, though. And anybody wants to airbrush me, be my guest!
I don’t think I want to take that were I could retrotx.
chas
You know, those kids who exposed Acorn with the prostitute sting may pull off the greatest journalistic coup in years in investigative journalism. I think the other shoe is fixin. to drop on that deal and there is more. Those are two smart, gutsy kids.
Hey Hey Merle
Merle,
I don’t think the Tea parties are just the “right”….I think they are a collection of Patriotic Americans that want their rights and freedoms untouched….that, as they said, “what our country back.” I know people in my area (Illinois no less) that were avid Obama supporters and always swung left, that are fed up with where this administration is taking our country.
Okay try #2
Good Morning Alisyn & to all friendly bloggers presant
Have a idea I’m going to say what I have to post copy & paste it~~~ So I don’t have to redo!! :l
LOL Retro I don’t think a size 4 needs to lose any weight. I’m 5′6 and wear a size 12 so I guess I must be considered large. However, I do not feel large or see myself that way.
OOps, chas! LOL didn’t mean it THAT way! Maybe I should go get a loan from Acorn! hahaha
out of smokes brb
morning Ali, and all….
thanks for reading my slogan!
Blago’s 15 minutes are up ! LOL
I think Marilyn Monroe was a size 12 , Merle, so don’t feel bad about that! That is an average size. I am just so darned short every makes my German genes sink to my jeans! Sigh. women are never happy with the way they look, are we? We should just count our blessings if we have good health. All that really matters.
Good Morning Alisyn and everyone,
Alisyn you are the perfect size,
The Beatles Rock.
Marine, I agree it’s not just the Right. I just meant to say that too many of us have been too quiet about where our great country is headed.
especially the Republican/Conservatives…..
I wonder how the “media” is going to swing 1 million people (I hope) showing up in Washington today. They can’t truely ignore that as a news story like they have so many other newsworthy stories, could they?
OOps, every POUND makes my German genes sink to my jeans!
I agree with that Merle
Dom,
You want to bet on that?
chas
Red Cross … send money, buy stuff. Do you know that the Red Cross charges me to teach their CPR courses?
Alisyn is a perfect size. You are a pretty woman, Ali, and I love the wardrobe. All the women on Fox are smart and pretty. They know how to pick ‘em.
LOL Chas …. don’t think the odds are with me on that one
I didn’t see other stations carry the ACORN story for 2 days.
Good grief, they charge YOU? My Dad was a young Marine in World War ONE, yes one, and he didn’t think much of the Red Cross but loved the Salvation Army. Said they did much more to help the soldiers and the Red Cross charged them for stuff.
Morning Alisyn ,must be a slow day if your going to waste time on Blago. Save your breath it,s much greener that way.
I’m tired of phoney just look at DC, I like the real thing
The networks are going to lose more and more viewers if they keep failing to report THE NEWS and it is even now getting embarrassing as they try to spin this stuff and deflect reporting the CORRUPTION. Glenn Beck is the new muckraker, which is ironic, since he doesn’t like the progressives of old who were supposedly noted for that.
Didn’t anyone FEED that cyber junkie? Have had 5 of my post go inti the unknown
SO this is TEST
Hi to all of you!!!
Blago is another one on my list of people I never want to hear another word about. Add him to Britney, Jackson, Kennedy, et al.
yes Retro … they charge my District $500 A YEAR for three of us to teach their classes. I agree with your dad, although the Red Cross did get me home on a hardship for a family member’s funeral when I was active.
Good Morning Jimmy,
I have a question about the slogans. I have sent 2 and have never heard them read. Do you have to wait a few weeks to hear them or do they use them the same day?
One of my solgans is “Fox&Friends…foremost, factual and always fun, thanks to Ali our resident HON.
The other is Fox and Friends needs no defense….I watch the show ‘Cause it makes sense….
Hey, Colleen, glad you made it in! Ate a couple of mine, too.
Good morning Alisyn and everyone.
Unless Blaggo has had a complete personality transplant, I doubt that he will have any thing worth listening to. If he thought you were mean to him last time, you must have done you usual excellent job.
To air brush or not to air brush…..don’t really care except for the influence these pictures have on young girls who are struggling with their own self image.
Those are good’uns, Merle! I’m too brain dead to think of any early in the morning.
hi Merle…those are great slogans!
I usually email mine in late in the afternoon….and if I’m lucky one gets read the next morning.
Good morning Liz K! As usual, I agree with everything you just said!!
Hey, bring on that airbrush! Add a little up top and subtract a lot down bottom! And wrinkles, what wrinkles? Nancy Pelosi me, baby!
you just have to keep sending….I don’t think they hang on to them?
retrotx, thanks I’m still trying still keeps going BYE BYE
I’m
that made it on.
Good Morning to all.
Please give the details of the online diet (where to go) your guests were talking about in the segment on the Alexandria, Va. mayor challenging America to lose 50 million pounds. It went by so quickly, I didn’t catch the website. Thanks so much.
Morning Colleen
Nice group here this morning! The blog is truly fun today.
I can’t imagine how embarrasing it would be to pose nekkid like that woman they just showed. I’m just old-fashioned but enough iw enough on the nekkid people stuff.
Although I guess some of it is “art”.
I thought Kelly’s pics looked ok, but they should really show her as she is naturally…..even though she isn’t a size 0 doesn’t mean she isn’t pretty!!!
Do you know who said this…..
Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s
I’m over Blogo.
Need to know the website for the mayor’s diet program. It went by so fast I missed it.
The Tea Party in DC would be so fun!! Wish I could’ve gone….no way to get away from work though…..oh well….I’ll get to see DC someday hopefully…*sigh*
goodmorning all
WHAT NO SWASTICKAS AT THE TEA PARTY? “DEM” PEOPLE MUST STILL BE ASLEEP…….
My hubby is trying to lose some weight. Too many donuts when he was with the NYPD (30 years) . He goes to a gym now and wants me to sign up too. However, he claims I look just fine….. My problem is I love my pasta,bread, potatoes and wine…… What’s a mother to do???? LOL
Good morning Alisyn and to all you great morning folks. Hope you have had a great Friday and looking forward to a wonderful Saturday.
Please let Blago disappear. Enough is enough. The question of the day. Will all the networks carry the Tea Party? And how many will say it is paid for by the Republicans?
ok for some reason this isn’t going thru …..
goodmorning friends
Allen Fox will cover the Tea Party…. Wishful thinking if any other network will
Merle I think all the pasta’s breads & wine is good for us just look at the Ginny Grannies they live to be almost 100
it’s the tomatoes. olive oil, ect….. eat drink & be merry!
What was the link to the State Farm 10000 pound diet????
Did anybody see the judge earlier this week saying It would be unconstitutional to discriminate against a group of people regarding healthcard? Said if you offer it to one group you must offer to all, including illegal aliens.
Good morning Phred! And to Allen too!!
That would never pass muster Allen. Along the way someone would figure out that illegals are breaking the law. The only free healthcare they deserve is while sitting in jail waiting for deportation.
chas
LOLOLOL ME

Speaking of tomatoes. I planted a few got 3 tomatoes and one was deformed . I got 2 green peppers, one zucchini and am waiting for the eggplants before frost kills em. What a summer.. A real bummer.. Oh wait Obummer???? wonder if there is a connection….
Ally help a sister out, the Mayor diet thing State Farm 10000 pound diet went by too quick, what was the Link?????
fox and friends the best by far
thats why they are our family news czar
ok ok i tried lol
I saw that piece with the Judge. My understanding was that if you provide/require universal health care then illegals would have to be covered based on previous court rulings…not based on what the Constitution actually says of course!
Shaanon try this link I’m been a memeber fron the very begining
I EVEN WON!! $1,000 in a random drawing they had I do the drawing everyso often GOOD LUCK with the wieght loss & hope you win a prize too
http://www.50millionpounds.com/
I’m on team Pottershouse
mornin metalgirl
Shannon, I heard something called the 59 pound website..
Ha! Ha! Merle
Ms Shannon,
I suggest that you try later. Ms Ali often post the links after the show in the topics at the top of the page.
chas
Oh Merle, I wish you were here…we have way more tomatoes than we can use.
they should take the guy who did that to miss andrews and lock him up, then she should sue him for every penny he has or will have over the next twenty years
State Farm wight loss site
http://www.50millionpounds.com/
Good one Phred….
we had lots of tomatoes here, too….and peppers and zuchinni!
On Hannity’s show the Democrat spokeslady said it isn’t true the illegals were covered because there isn’t even a bill yet. I wanted Hannity to say, well, if there isn’t even a bill yet then everything Obama said in the speech is a LIE so why even have a speech about a nonexistent bill? These people just contradict themselves coming and going. I wish I could interview one of them!
Good morning, Alisyn and everyone.
Allen, I’m glad you mentioned that. I’ve been wondering about it too — especially when the judge said Obama, having taught Constitutional law, should be well aware that illegals would have to be covered.
thanx merle
Obummer said, NO illegals will be covered… Guess what….. he will give all of the illegals amnesty. Make them legal and they will be covered….
YOU LIE!
Thanks Me….You Rock
Ozzie and Harriet was one of the very first.
Gee, Lanna, maybe HE LIED, huh?
morning lanna
i believe it was the Flinstones that first showed Fred and Wilma in the same bed.
no problem
love my FoxFriends LOL
wasn’t it …. if your in bed with a woman you had to keep one foot on the floor?
Well folks I shut this thing down & restarted to see if this does the trick!!
Ha!!! I bout fel off the chiar
Huck says He’s an idoit!!!!!!
First couple shown in bed was Fred and Wilma Flintstone
that’s right phred! LOL
We were so sheltered as kids it didn’t even occur to us watching TV anybody did anything in a bed but sleep until we were about 17! We certainly didn’t have much opportunity to find out, anyway!
He is cracking me up!!!!
Alisyn, I like you to ask Blago if he felt any shame when his wife went on that reality show. No I didn’t watch it expect for the promos.
Ozzie and Harriet Nelson did it in the 50’s.
Bewitched was the first show in 1964 to show husband and wife in one bed, that’s because Samanth was a witch and not a “real” women. Jake Depp
if we slept in seperate beds how could we wake up in the morning with 2 out of 5 kids and a dog between us???
If animals get the right to sue, what happens to the Beef industry??
Chas, you want to rephrase that? LOL
Why? It works both ways.
chas
if animals can sue that pig from the aclu can represent them
(ok ok i’m sorry)
if animals can sue that pig from the aclu can represent them in court
(ok ok i’m sorry)

Samantha was a witch which MAKES her a real woman! ;^) /s
Good Morning everyone.
good on John Galt! LOL
I like that shirt: Constitutional Pitbulls
chas
The couple Gov. Huckabee mentioned was first. It was obvious Ozzie and Harriot shared a bed, but were never seen in it at the same time. Next was The Flintstones, The Munsters, The Brady Bunch.
LOOLOL JOHN…………….. You are Baddddddddddddddddddddd………..
marine1967
congrats, now go do some spoiling!
I like the BUCK FARACK shirt!!
Thanks Jimmy. Just checking in to see what FOX and Alisyn is saying before I head over to Freedom Plaza. Anyone else going?
Good morning Alisyn and everyone.
As a genealogist it give me great pleasure to hear the news that the Census Bureau Severs Ties With ACORN. Congress has already investigated ACORN but can’t get legislation passed –
U.S. House of Representatives
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate. READ MOORE…….
http://republicans.oversight.house.gov/media/pdfs/20090723ACORNReport.pdf
NOW CONGRESS MUST PASS HR 2715, TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND ANTI-FRAUD ACT OF 2009 AND STOP FUNDING ACORN COMPLETELY! Say “NO” to ACORN receiving any more stimulus money!!!!!
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AT CONGRESS.ORG AND FAX AND REP. MICHELE BACHMANN
Fax: (202) 225-6475
Colleen, We do tend to spoil our grandkids…. I always wanted 4 sons…. Had 2 daughters… But now I have 3 grandsons, Anthony 8, Robbie 2 and Nicholas 6 months… They are a pleasure……
Bewitched~~~~~I still have mine
I have friends going, but I am unable, sadly.
chas
I’m having a bunch of shirts made with this picture on them.
http://tinyurl.com/b8f6ph
Who wants one?
Congrats on the new grandbaby! I am jealous and want another one! That shirt title made me laugh out loud! And that bill sounds like an excellent idea! Go, Michelle Bachman!
Chas, we had some rain yesterday and it is drippy this morning but no really hard rain yet.
Nice shirt Dog….lol
chas
I’ll take one in a medium LOL how much? I’ll send it right out to ya
Like the shirt
Great shirt, Dog! LOL
Ally: Maybe someone needs to explain to Obama, he was elected President of the United States, not President of the Democratic Party.
I’ll send them out for free after I get them made.
GREAT CANT WAIT!!
BUT really will pay ya for your expense put out
Merle, NY, I find such comfort in the spoiling them :lol I have seven brothers, so I really wanted a daughter, so I have to sons. Then I thought okay I will have a granddaughter, nope 1st was a grandson ( Very Proud of), so again I prayed finally I have a Gr-daughter, added bonus for waiting she looks like me! Then I was blessed with another Gr-son! SO very Proud of all of them.
bbl….
Eileen, there’s no need to pay.
Just promise me that you’ll wear it in public.
Maybe Blogo was kidnapped by Aliens….lol
chas
oh you know I will Dog! with pleasure!! I want to make the other one too Buck Farack
LOL Blago is cared of 5′ 3″ Ali… that’s because she’s ten times smarter and funnier than he is…
maybe blogo woke up & his hair fell out so he is hiding
Chas, I thought Blago was an alien? The hair kinda gives it away…..
Hey Ali guess you were to hard on his sissya$$ last time & he knows better to come on with you again LOL
Blogo come out come out where ever you are!
Maybe it’s the 3″ heels Ms Ali, makes you taller than him….lol
chas
maybe Blago went back to the mother ship after all…
hi aly,
blogo is a chicago politician and right and wrong is relative to the workplace-
kelly clarkson is in the business of selling records-self magazine is in the business of selling advertising-
you do what is necessary to encourage an immediately positive impulse to cause an individual to pick up that cd or magazine-
Jimmy: LOL!!! I was just thinking the same thing!!!
where’s Waldo…uh…I mean Blago?
or maybe the teapparty got him!
Maybe he’s changing his britches because the fear of Ali interviewing him again caused him to have a little accident….
It’s just rude that he’s pulling this no show business….very unprofessional in my opinion…
I’d rather ya’ll spent more time interveiwing the REAL PEOPLE at the tea party and nixed Blago- they have more to say!
MG,
We are talking about Blogo after all.
chas
http://www.cfourstrategies.com/eoodc1he.html
Apparently he doesn’t want to be taken seriously…..not that he would be, but still…LOL
if he’s a no show…he won’t get anymore bookings either…besides…who wants to read his stupid book? LOL
Chas, Oh yeah….how silly of me!! LOL!!!
I disagree you can praise kids to much and shouldn’t tell them they are smart. There are studies that contradict this. They studied this by telling teachers certain kids were smart and the kids performed better who the teachers “expected” to be smart. I don’t think you should make excuses for your kids but I think positive reinforcement works best.
EXPOSE OBAMA
http://www.exposeobama.com/
Forget Blago; go back to the tea party- I want to hear from the people with real substance!
Hiya All! Hope everyone’s off to a great start to their days!
<— waves to carolynro, chas, MetalGirl1, Marine, Dog, Mary, Me, Merle, retrotx, Colleen, Sal, (Yikes…I'll never catch up with my reading to know what's going on!) Jimmy, Brucewv, Liz K, Allen, A.Wall, (congrats Grandpa Marine1967 ) I'm way behind…as usual)
Okay…I think I'm almost caught up enough to join! Hiyas to anyone I've missed or don't know and a great good morning to the Fox-n-Friends cast!
Oh and the point of my post…ARG! I knew many years ago that the 'Praise your kid no matter what' idea was gonna backfire bigtime! What do they tell their first boss when the school praising ends? Or do companies all just go under because they cannot perform with the other companies for fear of hurting someone's KIDS feelings?
retrotx i agree……I think that praise helps kids build their self-confidence and their self image. To withhold that would do so much more damage! Of course kids shouldn’t be praised over EVERYTHING, but when its earned or deserved then let them know that they’ve done well!!
People~~~Blago logged on this blog & Twitter, read some of the questions facing him & ran!!! I’m
Didn’t that study show that the teachers developed a bias when they were told that certain kids were smart? I don’t think the kids knew, so the ones identified as smart didn’t really perform better. The problems the Millennial generation are experiencing in the workplace seem to be a result of endless praise for little effort. The author mentioned effort-based praise being beneficial to achievement.
Who’s Blago?
Funny group here today.
Okay, Okay Me! I got it! ~hides in the corner~
I had a fine time with you good people today. Thank you for your company and thoughts. I wish you a good day and hope to see you all again tomorrow.
Have a great evening Ms Alisyn. Look forward to seeing you in the AM.
chas
Wasn’t George Jones called ‘No-Show Jones’ for years? Maybe that Blago clown has a career in old country music….lol
ok wont post anymore grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr WHY would it let me post that stuff but not the live webcams in DC at the protests?????
<—- whiffs the armpits and thinks…..yup….me again….thats why they all split…. ~pout~
Isn’t this discrimination at its worst! Where is the ACLU?
I’m expected to accept all kinds of atrocities in this country, but we can’t accept someone being a little overweight! What a shame. By the way…madatory fat camps for kids…are you serious?
Hey if they want to make Kelly Clarkston look thinner than she is, so what? Sells more! I like her music.
Alisyn, how tall are you? I’d say 5′7″. Gretch looks 5″2″. Am I close?
Yes, the teacher’s perception of the kids became a self-fulfilling prophecy, but success breeds success is, I think, the point, and endouraging success and self-confidence helps them do better. I do believe that as a former teacher. There is usually not a problem with too much positive reinforcement, but the opposite.
well crap it will not let it post??????????

Hey, Ali:
I did an interview with Mr. Blagojevich yesterday, and I’d like you to ask for a more complete answer to a question I asked: “If, as you say, you know the ‘inside specifics’ of corruption in IL, why didn’t you write THAT book instead of a ‘I didn’t do it!’ for the IL jury-pool?”
If you just want to hear Blago’s response, it’s at about 12:50 min into our program. Please note the opening and closing musical “bumpers” we used, in honor of Blago’s oft-proclaimed love of Elvis music.
Unlike Joy Behar, what we ruffled was not the ex-Governor’s hair…

I thought owls were nocturnal.
http://twitpic.com/hfw98
oh…also…the word “disrespect” is not a VERB! Hoot! Hoot!
Good morning Alisyn…

English, 6th grade ! Hoot! Hoot!
good morning Gini….afraid I was just leaving…..but it was a very pleasant morning here until 9:22
Chaos erupts, would seem. Touched up pictures? Tell me NO!!! Surely NOT! Well…I think I just don’t care at all abt touched up pictures of someone I don’t particularly think abt at all? Yes…I’m sure that’s how I feel abt that! Blago? Well…good for him. I hope he realizes how privileged he is, that you would even let him in the same room with you Alisyn. Don’t particularly care abt him either, actually.
IN the mean time, dad is in the hospital, son is in the hospital, grand daughter is in the hospital!!!!! These other people are just, well, insignificant, actually……yep! for sure.
ok if jimmy & liz are going to flirt fight I’m out see ya’s later
Hi Jimmy…am at my daughter’s on her absolutely FABULOUS puter! Wow! lol
It actually works…too fun! lol So, how do you feel abt touched up pictures and Blago? lol
Gini I’m sorry to hear that I knew of Daddy but the rest? what happened??
Ha Eileen…well, you see, I LEFT THE HOUSE!!! Yikes! And chaos erupted! I am certain if I had stayed put, everything would have been just fine! Kidding, of course…but one does wonder, hum? YIKES! Asthma and blood clots {son} and some depression issues {grand daughter}. With today’s climate, one might think some kids would have some depression issues, hum? YIKES, again! lol Dad is still sick, but doing ok…and it’s his birthday…87 today! lol
Happy Happy Birthday Ol’ Soldier!!!!
So sorry about the kids Gini
eating my comments…again

Scrolling past seems to work for me! I do recommend that as a remedy.
http://twitpic.com/hfwg1
Dad is doing fine Jimmy…the son is in a bit of jeopardy, with the blood clots in the lungs, but it’s all good!!! At least the STAFF recognizes this grp, so I am not afraid they won’t pay attn, hum? ha! lol For sure….

I’m following on twitter Jimmy & the live cams I posted check it out!
Hey America .. if you want to see REAL hope and change look at Washington D.C. … that is change you can believ (cont) http://tl.gd/glha
Wow, I have been flipping the channels around and even MSNBC and CNN are showing the thousands and thousands completely spilling over the entire mall in Washington DC. We the People are speaking out and can no longer be ignored! I am so proud of these patriots- and they are interviewing them and reporting ALL of them saying they came on their own, nobody told them to, this is the first time they ever protested, etc. Eat your heart out, Nancy Pelosi. These people are the real deal. This is truly awesome. The mice have roared and are attacking the mousetrap.
ok…eating my posts…going to check twitter…bbl…
Chants of “You Lie!” Crowd is BIGGER than anybody dreamed!! This has to be approaching a million!
Real quick. Traffic camera’s in DC. Check out Pa Ave. The march is on baby:

Touched up pics? Who are they doing it for? Now THAT is the question. Most here know I am more interested in what is inside someone. For example, Is Liz ugly or beautiful? she is ugly, of course. Its what’s inside that applies. A not so ‘good looking’ person can be absolutely a beautiful person whereas an ugly person, no matter what they look like on the COVER (as in a book?) as in my example is ugly on the outside as well. Now figure a way to airbrush a mind and I may change my position on airbrushing. Maybe airbrush out Liz’s posts?
LMFAO Caver ! missed ya, glad to have ya back, where ya been anyway if you dont mind me asking?
OBAMA LIED!! AMERICA DIED!!
The report on “Praise Craze” on September 12 seems to support what Nathaniel Branden presented in his 1994 book “The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem”. One prediction that Branden made in this book was there would be a conflict in our culture between those who believe that “Self-Esteem” could be given away and those that “Self-Esteem” was something that comes more from behaviors like acting and thinking responsively. Interesting the two guests comments this morning seemed to demonstrate that conflict.
Brenden’s six pillars – 1.The Practice of living consciously, 2. The practice of self-acceptance, 3.The practice of self-responsibility 4. The practice self-assertiveness, 5. The practice of living purposefully, and 6. The practice of personal integrity.
FYI:Dr. Branden has been described as “The father of the concept of self esteem….”
Just dealing with life mostly….as I have been on my back for almost five years now, but my little eye problem was restricting my computer time until just recently and I’ve been trying to keep my promise to myself in keeping up with this blog daily, for a start, and maybe more as I go. I still have bad days with my eyesight where it’s all blur and can’t push it, but if I just wait and try again later the eye seem to calm down and give me a little playtime. I wasn’t even going to talk about my back here but I have started feeling guilty for being five miles away from the rally in DC and can’t be there in person. Let it be known I would have been there, and am there in spirit. Oh well… life had been pretty good to me in many ways so I’m really trying not to complain. Thanks for asking, Me, and careful what you wish for…lol.

ACORN’s response to me; @ Sharynn, the employees were fired for not living up to the standards and values of the organization. However, it is clear that the tapes are doctored. All the questions are dubbed in a studio. The responses are edited to appear to be to questions that you can’t hear asked in the room. And, finally, it is illegal in MD to tape someone without … Read Moretheir consent. In DC it is illegal to tape someone with the only reason to cause injury. The tapes are doctored. Which is why the “filmmaker” won’t post the raw footage.
Caver, I was unaware of your issues. Hope all goes well.
Another from ACORN on FACEBOOK!!! @Sharynn – ACORN is not in line for billions of dollars. That is a blatant lie. Believe us. If we were in for billions our offices would look a lot different than they do on the videos! Also, its kind of ludicrous that ACORN would get more money than agencies like the NEA, CPB and the like. It’s just absurd. That would be more than any one contractor gets from the govt. for assisting the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s just a flat-out ridiculous assertion.

Well thanks Kevin, but as you said, those are my issues, but the reason I make it here is all about Our Issues, as Americans. I have been proud of my Country ALL of my life….and the first time I ever had to wonder about it was when our ‘fearless Leader’ ’s wife found it in her heart to START being an American really set me thinking about it. Now I’m sure this will make ME the racist for , I guess, remembering who said it, and that she would never said that about being an African, (does it strike anybody else as strange that that always comes before American, especially those who aren’t even from Africa, but I am wandering off on another topic here) making it my fault again for not even having a family tree that was never rooted in a pre-slavery America. I have always got along with anybody that talks… less the few people that think my winter white skin ( Most used to ask me what part of Central America I come from during the summer ) meant I was a Slave holding American and I must owe them some serious cash. If an American with a ‘deeper tan’ sat down beside me I’d talk to them as if they had white skin, or brown, or yellow, or red, or blue, or green even, although I must admit, those last two got some questions the rest didn’t. You see, all I’ve ever seen, if that’s the way it has to be described, is what kind of person they are. Usually, a hi there or a how are you worked and I’d have my answer in seconds. My question was simple. Are you a good person?
Caver,
I’m trying to find common ground, but you have left me at a loss.
Umm (blushing even) I see Huckabee is having George Jones as a guest….hey Huck… tell George I like his music just fine…always have… it was his actions that got him the name…and no…. Bloggo has ZERO talent, and not only for a musical future…in all except being a good liar. He’s an excellent Liar. He’s a Democrat. Hope I wasn’t misunderstood about where the possible parallel between the two was.
Common ground? was that a question about something I said? Is there something glaring there I missed?
Caver,
I don’t understand why your comment immediately went to color, Mrs. Obama and Central America.
It did? How far along in your schooling are you? This may make it a lot easier for me to explain it to you.
Caver,
I have an Associates degree with a 4.0 GPA working on my Bachelors. And you?
You do come across poorly.
Common ground? was that a question about something I said? Is there something glaring there I missed?
It did? How far along in your schooling are you? This may make it a lot easier for me to explain it to you.
I thought I was quite clear actually but I can simplify it a bit. You said you didn’t know about my ‘issues’. Correct?
I’m hoping you agreed there
I replied with my reason for being here was about OUR issues.
I’m hoping you agreed there
An issue people have had was about ‘being an American’ and what that means to others. To me it means one thing and to others maybe another but the reason I mentioned Mrs. Obummer was because it was the reason I started questioning how people feel about America and what being an American is.
I’m hoping you agreed there
I also added that it would probably give your friend something to call me a racist about.
I’m hoping you agreed there
Most the rest of that part was a bit off the topic and I said so.
I’m hoping you agreed there
Continued on next post( if possible? lol)

Caver,
You’ve said more than I believe you know. Goodbye
I can take that. Poorly is fine. I am not good without knowing who I am talking to. I’d probably make a lousy politician, too. That would be taken as a compliment by me, Kevin. You are Kevin, right?
Oh, and I’m sure I forgot to explain the ‘Central American’ part. I get a deep tan and I could hide easily in a Central American Country. Or on any construction site in America. I am an Electrician by trade and I have a High School Diploma and a few college classes. Poorly educated in your eyes I’m sure. I have been paying my way since I was in my twenties and will turn fifty next month. My education has been in life. I am just fine with who I turned out to be in mind anyway. The body is definitely another question.
I don’t make the cut with you, Kevin? I wonder if that just means it’s my lucky day.

Caver,
I don’t understand why your comment immediately went to color, Mrs. Obama and Central America.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Can Someone, anybody, tell me where in my comments before this comment, that I immediately went to color…because I have read and reread it and can’t see it anywhere in the comment till far into it where I stated I don’t care about any color at all. Or is, by my saying ‘African’ racist or something in and of itself?
Caver, those of us who know what the real world is like understand you all too well.
Click on my name and join us.
We’d love to have you onboard!
I think you just don’t understand the liberal mind caver. In fact neither do they.

I wonder who Sharynn rerally is? Sound familair? Hoot! Hoot!
Jimmy: I think Sharyn is posting what she received from ACORN. I don’t think she was posting that post as her belief.
Caver8: The race card is being used “big time” by the left as the reason Obama is losing popularity. I have been listening to Rush and he plays comments made by MSM reporters throughout his show each day to illustrate how shallow their reporting is and how they rarely scratch below the gossip surface to get background or history of issues. Quite often, these leftists try to convince each other that the people who disagree with Obama is because they cannot feature that there is a black president. They purposefully do this to feed into the victim mentality and to gin up the sensitivity of minorities who have had black theology preached to them for decades. In short, race is used as an excuse for why minorities are kept down and the media uses race as a reason for why people don’t like Obama.
I don’t know how Kevin fits into this but it seems that he is trying to find a reason to find fault with people on this blog. At first he seemed pleasantly surprised at what fun it is then for some reason he decided any mention of being dark skinned was an opening for him to find offense- unwarranted by the way!
From The Politico:
Source: Wilson breaks $1 million
A source on Rep. Joe Wilson’s campaign says his fundraising has broken $1 million — and surpassed that of his Democratic rival, Rob Miller — since his outburst of “You lie!” during President Obama’s address to Congress Wednesday.
The source said Wilson’s current tally is $1,005,021 from 18,859 donations amid a high-profile campaign on the Drudge Report and elsewhere telling conservatives that Wilson is “under attack” for his willingness to take on Obama.
Wilson, who initially apologized for his words, is now riding a reaction that has surpassed the liberal backlash to his words: Miller has raised less than $900,000, according to the Democratic fundraising site ActBlue — though still more than enough to envigorate his challenge.
Still, Wilson’s success — despite having been criticized by Republican leaders — represents the power of the conservative grassroots to reward politicians who confront the White House in the sharpest terms.
CORRECTION: He may still trail Democrat Rob Miller, who broke $1 million yesterday.
<—- thinks….Go USC….
ty chas, for your reading it for what I really said. I read it over and over and know I wasn’t making any issue about color….it was completely about NOT color. I absolutely despise those who are making race an issue at all. My point has always been race is used to drive wedges between people that have no reason to dislike each other but no matter what you do….those who squawk about the race issues in this country are the ones who are using the hidden hand to toss the logs in the furnace that fuels it. It’s a sad state of affairs when the fact is racism will be alive and well until those people take a look into their own mirror and see what it is that is keeping it alive. It’s not who they are mad at. Although they should be mad at them, and embarrassed by them as well.
I agree Caver: It is too bad that people wish to keep everyone agitated for political gain. It only hurts everyone.
You probably owe Rod Blagojevoch an apology. He may have been standing vigil, waiting to hear word of his dying friend.
Ousted Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s former chief fundraiser dies, days before prison term began…….
Kelly was taken to Cook County’s Stroger hospital by ambulance at 5:15 a.m. Saturday and pronounced dead at 10:46 a.m., said spokesman Marcel Bright. Bright did not know whether Kelly was conscious when he arrived in the emergency room or where he was transported from.

I don’t think he should have ignored the people he made promises to though. A phone call or asking someone to call for him is not too much to ask. It’s not missing this show that made everyone mad at him, but treating them like crap doesn’t sell his books either.
Ms Rubie,
Doesn’t it come down to manners? I know Ms Alisyn and this was set up more than just last night. I am certain that this was scheduled weeks ago in coordination with his book release. I think he was concerned that the lady, 5′3″ in her stocking feet, was going to man handle him…again.
Which in political terms makes him a wussie. That is only my opinion of course, but given that last interview, I think well founded.
chas
Kevin, don’t try to understand them – just try to educate them. Caver is a very bitter person and she/he uses several different aliases, but it’s pretty easy to detect that they are all the same person….can’t get out so decided to be political on this blog…sad, but there’s just no reasoning with people who don’t understand much.
Good luck with school. I went to the Michigan game today! It was a real nail-biter, but we won!!! Go BLUE!!!
Have a great day! I see Obama did a big rally today. I don’t blame him for getting out of DC – what a mess. I wonder if both sides of the issue were represented there today. I’ll have to watch the news to find out. Of course Fox will only show one side – but the rally I went to last month had plenty of supporters.
Investigators searching for a Yale graduate student who disappeared days before her wedding reviewed security-camera footage and checked the blueprints of the building where she was last seen as the university offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to her whereabouts.
More than 100 local, state and federal law enforcement personnel were involved in the investigation into Tuesday’s disappearance of Annie Le, said Yale spokesman Tom Conroy.
Investigators were examining footage from some 75 cameras on and around the building where Le was last spotted. They did not immediately find any footage of her leaving the building.
Liz,
Thanks.
Congrats to Michigan!
I’m forcing myself to watch this replay of Glenn Beck’s 9/12 program/project.
Liz,
Listening to these people they are interviewing, I hear the regurgitated verbiage of their news source. Where’s the critical thinking?
There’s no critical thinking Kevin. Sadly, they don’t know it, but they are fighting for corporate greed. They don’t care about their own best interests, but in the long run they will be happy with national healthcare, just like they love their Medicare and Social Security. However, they will never give Obama the credit for it. They are just “sheeple” – easily led to the slaughter. It won’t happen this time though. We have to save them from themselves. I have no ill will against any of them though because I realize they are not thinking, however it’s hard not to get mad at them every now and then.
It’s hilarious to watch the interviews in DC yesterday. Their ignorance is so blatant. The ones that are not so ignorant are the ones who work in the insurance industry, because their jobs may depend on it.
Have a great day!
Liz,
My thoughts were sheep being led to slaughter…I’m blown away about how much we think alike.
This is scary.
They do tend to vote against themselves.
Liz,
Yep—the insurance companies and don’t you know, the lobbyists as well.

Good morning all!
To OD on aspirin? I guess I didn’t realize that was possible! I knew that it could make a person really sick if you took too much, but jeez…..that is sad news……
Chas, clueless?
Well, he is “blown away” by how much they “think” alike.
LOL
Good morning All Do you think they think alike cause they are the same person, just as she accuses some of you for doing. LOL
Good morning …. i see the games have already begun
John: Good morning!!
LOL!!! She accused Dog and I of being the same person!!! TOO FUNNY!!

Good morning. No new blog today.
Everyone should take a look at this “non-partisan” analysis:
DAVID BRODER of The Washington Post Writers Group by Kim Arrington-Oster.
WASHINGTON – A great speech is a combination of words and music, of content and color, of substance and emotion. When the speech is as important as the health care address that President Obama delivered to Congress on Wednesday night, it is worthwhile to go back and analyze the parts.
How weird was that? I mean how that posted….trippy…:)
So after watching it live on TV, I replayed it twice, the first time shutting out the argumentation and focusing on the tone and body language, the elements that communicate most directly with the audience. Then I listened again, weighing the assertions and evidence.
On the first run-through, I was struck again, as so often during the election campaign, by Obama’s ability to move an audience through his actor’s skills. At various times he conveyed deep-felt concern, anger, determination, reasonableness and firmness. The overall goal was to re-energize a slumping initiative, to summon and convey the determination to act – and act now.
The keynote was simple and almost substance-free: “The time for bickering is over.”
The reaction among his fellow Democrats was all that he could have hoped. They came off the mat, full of fight.
When I listened again, this time trying to tune out the rhetoric and trace the argument, the impression was strikingly different. For the first time I realized how far Obama has shifted from the proposition that marked his successful race for the White House.
Then, his great theme was “change we can believe in.” Now, the message is “change we need not fear.”
It is certainly understandable why he has shifted. This summer has been brutal to his hopes. A variety of doubts – some artificially fed by his opponents, others reflecting genuine questions about the costs and consequences of his reforms – have put the president on the defensive.
The classic response is to offer reassurance, to promise that nothing important to you, the voter, will be lost if Obama gets his way. The problem is that by emphasizing what will not change, the president inevitably reinforces the status quo.
Consider the two main promises Obama made. First, he said, to the millions covered by their employer plans, “Nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have.”
That sounds reassuring. But the reality is that the health care system is headed for crisis precisely because those employer-based plans are foundering. More and more are being canceled, and more of their costs are shifting to workers. They are a drag on the economy and a major factor in our loss of international competitiveness.
Obama knows we cannot keep what we have. This is why he is pushing to create insurance exchanges where families can buy their health coverage in competitive marketplaces that will help drive down costs.
But Obama does not tell people: “I want you to get used to the idea that eventually you may not get your coverage from your employer, and you will have to be a smart shopper, looking for the best deal you can get from competing insurance firms.”
The second big audience Obama addressed was Medicare retirees. Again, his message to this crucial constituency was: Nothing will change for you.
The reality is even more at odds with the rhetoric. Medicare is going broke. Health care costs are rising faster than the rate of inflation, and within years Medicare will add billions to the budget deficits. What is worse, Medicare is the main engine for subsidizing the most wasteful, inefficient system of health care payments in any advanced industrial country. It rewards practitioners and hospitals on the basis of the volume of procedures, not on the outcomes for patients. And because its reimbursement rates are below actual costs, they drive hospitals and doctors to do more and more – just to pay the bills.
Again, Obama knows better. He knows that unless he can fundamentally reform Medicare, he cannot achieve his goals. He knows he has to move it toward the models of the Mayo and Cleveland clinics and the few communities around the country where networks of doctors and hospitals have committed themselves to high-quality, low-cost medicine.
But he is not telling people that Medicare must change, so members of Congress will be reluctant to take the first steps in that direction.
I realize that what I am asking Obama to do is really hard. He has justifications for taking the easier path of reassurance. But his promise as president was to do the hard things, the big things. I wish he would try
Morning… I had to post that column.
I don’t know about anyone else but I believe the government is more likely to lead sheep to slaughter than I am to take myself to slaughter. Some of the people who come here obviously have not read Animal Farm or 1984 or even the Lord of The Flies. If anyone wants to let government run their lives just look at the welfare state we have now. The government giveth and the government taketh away. If you depend on government to make all your decisions about where you can live, where you can see a doctor, how much food you can buy each month with your food stamps, then have a ball….But, I am not going to let that happen to me.
Today’s thread is up.
Did you hear the piece on the latest minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment that is available? They cannot get it in Canada because their national health plan does not allow it. I don’t know how much more evidence you people need to hear before you will stop being dazzled by a man who has never even tried to buy health coverage because he has been on the dole most of his life himself. What does he know about health insurance or health care? He just listens to his rich white radical limosine liberals for advice with no practical experience to back up his rhetoric. It is a shame that so many people believe this charlatan. I know more about it than he does and I am just a poor minimum wage worker.
Freckle: I would much rather run my own life…I don’t trust Govt or anyone else to do it for me….I can make my own mistakes thank you very much Mr. Obama!
No one makes a DECISION to suicide. Suicide caused by severe depression, which is an illness. It’s not a choice. No person would ever CHOOSE to die or leave a wife or small children. Suicide is not about choice or decision. I would suggest that you educate yourself on this topic before making statements that are offensive to suicide survivors.
Obama just wants to follow through on his campaign promises – which included a national health care plan. He didn’t lie, did he? He was elected by a good majority, and that’s what they expect from him. It’s obvious to all “thinking” Americans that the Republicans are nothing but obstructionists working for their special interests – the insurance companies. Without them, most of the Senators who are against healthcare reform couldn’t hope to hold their seats.
SOUTH CAROLINA was taken by OBAMA!!! That’s why his opponent has raised over $1 million since Wilson’s outburst. Not only are they suffering with a Governor who needs to be impeached, now they have a Senator working against the way they voted!
The Saratoga County Sheriff’s Department tells CBS-6 a motorcycle accident has closed a road in the town of Milton.
The crash happened between 11 and 11:30 at Adams and Rowland.
A dispatcher did not have any information on other vehicles involved.
We’re told two people were taken to the hospital, but there’s no word on any injuries.
