Anyone else having problems with Hotmail?

I just heard Obama talking about "Insurance Company Boondoggles And Inefficiencies." What makes him think a government run program will do any better?

I came home from my part-time job and set down to watch Pastor Warren's Easter message on Fox News Channel. Half way through they cut to a news alert announcing the release of Captain Philips and never returned to the message. I tried to watch it again at midnight but Geraldo was on. Anybody know where I might watch the remainder of the message?

I just received a call from a very pushy woman who asked me if I was aware of all the free programs for seniors that will be available under the Obama Administration. I tried to find out who she represented and she would not answer. She was insistent that I make an appointment for someone to verify whether I am eligible for any of these programs. I finally hung up on her.

What's the story on the video that's all over the internet that allegedly shows Chambliss groping his granddaughter? Who was behind it?

Fox News Channel has been running an ad all day long that ridicules clean coal technology. I finally got fed up and turned it off.

She's been with them for 10 years. They did not renew her contract.

Shepherd Smith was absolutely indignant that Ralph Nader used the term "Uncle Tom" when referencing Obama and called him on it. I wonder if he felt the same way when Michael Steele was called an "Uncle Tom?"

I haven't seen E. D. Hill on FNC recently. Anyone know why she hasn't been on?

Did anyone hear Shep Smith tear the McCain spokesman a new one for bringing up Bill Ayers on his program this afternoon.

My 7 year old granddaughter came home from school the other day and told her mom that she wanted Obama to be elected to show the country that it's okay for a brown person to be President.

Mort Kondracke said on Fox tonight that Palin is not qualfied to be VP. He also thinks Obama is presidential material because he's been running for the job for three years.

Barack America! ...and his sidekick, Jo-Jo A member on another forum I frequent thought they would make good comic book heroes.

The first few minutes has been nothing but negative.

My Hotmail account is being bombarded with undeliverable mail messages that I did not send. They are in a foreign language. Any ideas as to what is going on. I have sent a message to MSN support.

I recently went back to Verizon for land line service after having trouble with phone service provided by my cable company. I ended up with a higher price than the marketing guy quoted me and they made it very difficult to get the discounts I was promised. After reading this editorial, I find I'm not the only one having trouble.

Chris Wallace really went after the Fox and Friends crew this morning for spending a too much time discussing Obama's just a typical white person remark. He needs to move over to MSNBC.

Is it ethical for my doctor's office to call me and tell me that I would be better off in a HMO than traditional Medicare and then recommend a couple of HMO's.

Fox News Channel spent quite a bit of time today covering the successful rescue of a horse trapped in mud in Texas. Shep Smith wondered if the story was " the glue that held the network together today." It prompted emails from pet owners who thoght the remark was inappropriate.

Geraldo was on Fox & Friends this morning. They had a college Republican on as a guest who club had started a 'Find the Illegal Alien game. Geraldo launched a vicious tirade against him and I turned it off.

I received a mail message from a fellow Freeper and don't know how to reply to him. Would appreciate help from someone.

It was reported on Fox News Channel this morning that Rep. Jefferson received a standing ovation from the Congressional Black Caucus for his reelection to Congress

I have a Heil 3.5 ton package A/C unit. A tech from my service company did a tune-up on the unit today. In the past, the techs have pulled the top off the unit to clean the evaporator coil. This tech did not pull the cover but marked on the check list that he cleaned the evaporator coil. Did I get short changed on this tune-up?

I received a call today from a group calling themselves the United States Navy Veterans Association who claimed they were raising money to send packages to the troops. Is this a legit organization?

When I sart up my computer I get the following dialogue boxes. Windows Installer: Preparing to Install Norton AntiVirus 2006: Please wait while Windows configures Norton AntiVirus 2006 Norton AntiVirus 2006: Norton AntiVirus 2006 does not support the repair function. Please uninstall and reinstall If I click on the Norton box in the right hand lower corner of my display it says all Norton installed programs are working properly. What do I need to do?

Glenn Beck said tonight that the U.S. is providing 90 days of room & board to evacuees from Lebanon. Anybody know what he is talking about.

I recently scheduled a payment through my bank's online bill payment system. The payment was for my homeowner's policy which is due July 30th and will be cancelled if not received by then. When I scheduled the payment it indicated the payment would be made by mail and would be delivered by July 13th. I received a message on July 13th that the payment had been delivered. I have now found out that the "delivered on' message means only that the bank cut a corporate check for my payment, mailed it out and deducted the amount from my checking account....

I was watching a clip on PBS that showed people voting in Mexico. The poll workers were matching photo IDs with pictures in the voter registration book. Sounds like something we should be doing here.

MIAMI, June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Roy Black, Rush Limbaugh's attorney, issued the following statement today in response to several inquiries by the media: While going through routine Customs inspection of luggage at Palm Beach International Airport upon his return from an international trip, Rush Limbaugh was detained by customs agents after they noticed a non-narcotic prescription drug, which had been prescribed by Mr. Limbaugh's treating physician but labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes. After a brief interview, Mr. Limbaugh was permitted to continue on his journey.

FT. DEPOSIT, Ala. - Billy Walker, the Grand Ole Opry legend whose hits included "Charlie's Shoes" and "Cross the Brazos at Waco," died in a wreck along an Alabama interstate on Sunday. He was 77. Walker was killed with three others when a van they were riding in ran off Interstate 65 south of Montgomery and overturned, state troopers said.

Can anyone give me a link to a story about NBC's putting riflescope crosshairs over President Bush's picture a couple of years ago.

TAMPA - In recent years, Florida law enforcement agencies have been pondering an unusual question of political correctness: If your officers fire at targets that are black in color, is the agency sending a racist message? Not wanting to take any chances, the Tampa and St. Petersburg police departments, among other law enforcement agencies, have switched to more colorful targets. "It never was a big issue or a big debate," said Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy, whose agency switched to blue silhouette targets from black ones two years ago. "Nowadays, you can never be too sensitive, and we felt that...

Democrats unveiled a new Code of Conduct to clean up Congress Wednesday. Sin is a dangerous toy in the hands of inexperienced Republicans. Sin should be left to Democrats who know when to play with it and how to put the batteries in correctly.

An ABC publicity photo promoting their annual depressing-party-in-a-box, New Year's Rockin' Eve, is causing controversy for having Photoshopped in a smiling, fully upright, pre-stroke Dick Clark next to co-hosts Hilary Duff and Ryan Seacrest: [T]he image of the 76-year-old Clark was taken before his December 2004 stroke and superimposed onto a recently taken picture of Duff and Seacrest. The "Photoshopping" spurred rumors that the ageless celebrity hasn't recovered from the stroke and may be unable to properly perform his annual year-end duties on Saturday night, New Year's Eve. A spokesman for Clark and ABC bosses denied those rumors yesterday. [...]

I just read an article about a family in California who is unhappy that the body of their son was shipped home from Dover AFB as freight on a commercial airliner. Is this standard military procedure?

Bob Beckel was just on Fox News discussing Howard Dean's over the top rhetoric. He said Howard's problem "is that he's never had an unspoken thought."

Those Democrats demanding an apology from the Bush Administration in the wake of the Libby indictment seem to have forgotten the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

TAMPA - Rising gasoline prices are forcing some station owners across the Tampa Bay area to end credit card sales, cutting off an option for consumers growing short on cash to buy the fuel they need. Retail dealers say they are losing money on every gallon of gasoline as more motorists turn to credit cards to purchase it. Across the Bay area Friday, the price of self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline jumped as much as 30 cents a gallon from the day before, hitting $3 or more at many stations. Meanwhile, credit card use for gasoline purchases rose to nearly 80...

What happened to Linda Vester who used to be the host of Fox News Channel's Dayside.

Texas and Florida allow only state-funded uniform memorials that can be applied for by contacting the departments of Transportation. Florida memorials are plain white, bear the victim's name and read "Drive Safely."

Am I seeing things or has Shepherd Smith got another new hairdo? He also looks tanner than he did last week.

BATH, N.Y. - It began with three haunting notes from a teenage girl. A second bugler, about 100 yards down the road, picked up the tune. And then a third. More than 850 buglers, trumpeters and other horn players fanned out Saturday along 41 miles of roads in rural western New York and performed a cascading rendition of taps to highlight the scarcity of buglers at veterans' funerals. The 24-note melody started up at Woodlawn National Cemetery in Elmira, overlapped from one instrument to the next as it reverberated through a string of small towns from Painted Post to Campbell...

CNN ran a clip of Ward Churchill speaking to his supporters at the University of Colorado. Hanging on the wall behind him was a red flag with what appeared to be a gold crescent in the lower left quandrant. Anyone else see this and recognize the flag?

U. S. Rep. John Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, seems determined, despite evidence to the contrary, to raise voters' suspicions that the presidential election in Ohio was rigged. There were problems in the Buckeye State, but the irregularities we have seen so far do not rise to the level of fraud. A prolonged effort to expose corruption in the voting process and sustain the specter of another tainted election is not constructive and only threatens more political divisiveness. Yet Conyers is bent on stirring the water. He told Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's Countdown, that he...

The Kerry Campaign is running the following ad in the Tampa Bay, Florida area: If George Bush Is Reelected He Will Cut Your Social Security 30 To 45 Percent. This ad obviously target uninformed, gullible senior citizens.

In fact his voice is so bad, doctors have advised him to rest his throat and only give one position on each issue for awhile.
