We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
An astonishing statement yesterday by Hitlery. She said the immigration bill up for consideration would make her a criminal.
The provision at issue is anyone who knowingly assists or aids in allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the United States.
This is a keeper.
The former First Lady, who desires to be President, who says that she would be tough in the foreign policy arena, who says that we need to secure our borders...
...admits to aiding illegals to stay in America or giving them aid!
All the more reason to pass the legislation!
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Nor does this Bill, he is ACTIVE!!!! Just mean for some reason.
Back in the late 80's and early 90's we were trying to figure out what to do with our AM station. Rush was on and doing well in a market about 30 miles from our station.
My Daughter came up with the idea of using registered voting lists to poll people about various types of talk radio. Since political talk radio was in its infancy we were interested to know if there was a market for liberal talk radio. She was thinking we might go liberal in the morning and conservative in the afternoon(Rush noon to 3). The idea was the station would have two distinct audiences to sell.
The Results were astounding. In the predominately Democratic precincts there was next to no interest in political talk or even political news. They were a target audience for "if it bleeds it leads." We found a significant part of the Republican precincts were very open to political talk. We were surprised to find that Rush had picked up an audience even though they had to listen to a weak and sometimes hard to pick up signal.
We came to the conclusion that the Democratic base made up mostly of working class people, were not really interested in politics. They were democrats... They in effect delegated their political decisions to the Democratic Leadership.
I think that is why democrats can do things that are counter productive for much of their base and still get away with it.
If what we found in 88 or 89 is still true, liberal leaning newscasts will never draw an audience. The right now has other choices and the left base doesn't care.
I'll bet every one Moonves talks to tells him what a brilliant idea Perky Katie Couric is. I think the ratings will fall like a wounded duck with clipped wings.
It seems to me that so many business decisions are made by people that don't think. Here in my home town the a few years back the Mead Paper Company was in trouble. It had a very profitable "Law Books on Line" division. Within hours of laws being changed the new laws would be in on line for lawyers. It was very profitable.
So the powers that be at Mead sold it to get money to invest in papermills that were losing money, because paper demand had fallen sharply. I would have expaned the computer information division and shut down excess paper mills. It seems that expand the profitable and shut down the money losers is foreign concept to many buisness men. The Mead guy told me he understood the paper industry he did not know the computer industry so he was staying with what he knew. But he did not know either industry. The paper industry he grew up in, was dying. Mead has been sold twice since then and will close in 3 or 4 years.
Today General Motors is selling its very profitable finance division to support its money losing car business.
What CBS is doing makes no sense to me. So CBS management is staying with what they know.. liberal slanted news. The fact that the market is shrinking as old democrats die and new ones don't watch never occurs to them. I think their logic is Katie will draw a female audience. Since half the news audience is female they think they can draw half the news audience (about 13 million females) while NBC and ABC split the male audience at about 7 million each.
Katie Couric is the very model of the smileing female that will knife anyone in the back to get what she wants. No man who has much experience with womem in the work place would ever let himself get near Katie. And certainly never leave his back exposed. But from what I have been told, women do not much care for the Katie Couric type either.
Years ago I was side kick on the Robert W. Morgan show in LA. As a side kick I could attack people and situations and do it very unfairly. Controversy is part of a show.. but it is not smart for hosts to be controversial. They must be trustworthy. Bob rarely took strong positions on anything .. to maintain his host popularity, he had to be fair and honest. Neither Katie or Rather understood that simple fact. Katie can not resist showing her fake smile and her real claws. It is something no anchor who wants to prevail can do.
If you want to do bias, have the reporters attack, and the anchor make an effort to defend those attacked. That can and does work.
The people running the three major networks must never have been exposed to the real world.
Good morning. I'm off to WalMart and then exercise; have to lose those lbs I gained on vacation.
Oh, Mozie! That is great. He better call ASAP.
I'll say. I have so much nervous energy I'm channeling it all into cleaning. Pretty soon there won't be anything left to clean.
Okay, I just cleaned the monitor & mouse. Am I easier to read now??
...Nope, not that excited. LOL!
Haven't been outside yet, but I'm an incurable optimist.
Keyboard is now sparkly clean...
Jem, incurable romantic too?
I hope that phone rings soon!
Some morning cheer.

This is a great video by The Right Brothers called: Bush Was Right.
Enjoy
ETA at Green Bay is sometime late this afternoon.
He said when they got off the plane (there's a bunch of them taking leave at the same time) the USO had organized a bunch of people to greet them...........when they walked out of security all these people stood and cheered! Awesome!
He was rather taken aback. I told him to possibly expect similar treatment on his commercial flights; he was surprised. I said, well people DO support you guys, you know, and they appreciate what you're doing over there. He said "I hope so."
Makes me wonder what they've been hearing.
Well, we'll make sure he knows he's appreciated.........in fact we will spoil him rotten.
Now I have to figure out what to do about dinner...........we had no idea what time to expect him so I have nothing planned.
p.s. He actually called me first this time. I told him he'd better call Katie immediately because she is bouncing off the walls.:)
Hmmm, sounds like someone has a suspicion of something????
Good Morning HOB, beautiful here in central Texas. Have planted some carrots and kohlrabi, now I have to find some bush zuccini.
Mozie, you are in a cleaning mode, I cleaned my screen. See me?
He's getting down to BASICS, now. It's all about food, and he knows you're doing the cooking.
I am so happy for you Mozie. I can read the excitement in your posts.
Question. What is the secret for getting grits out of the key board.......
I'm VERY excited for you! Enjoy every moment with Ev. He deserves to be spoiled rotten!
