We've got all hell breaking loose in Iraq and the Mideast. We've got the Dems in the Senate for the first time in history denying a bipartisan majority of senators their right to vote on judicial nominees.
You've got commentators saying the President should be "Hanged." Presidential candidates calling the President a "Gang Leader." Terrorists are threatening to blow us up just about every day. Environmentalists are threatening to blow us up if we keep driving our cars. PETA is threatening to blow us up if we keep eating meat.
Linda Vester is one of the smartest women in Television and what do they have her doing? They've got her talking to some grandma about how she feels about Scott Peterson.
Enough with the Talk Back Live/Dayside Garbage! Its trash! I want good solid political debate. I don't want to know what Ed from Sacramento thinks about Scott Peterson's facial expressions.
Hannity and Colmes has started a bad habit of beginning their show with Scott/Laci Peterson and calling it their "Top Story." Thats not a top story.
Soldiers being attacked or attacking is a top story. bin laden or Saddam being captured is a top story. People must still be watching or they wouldn't be showing this awful crap!
I want good political debate. As much as I detest it, I would much rather hear Hannity debating with Liberals rather than Scott/Laci/Kobe/.
I've told this story I'm about to tell before, but I'll tell it again for the sake of this commentary. One night I went to bed with the TV on. I woke up in the middle of the night to hear someone screaming.
I quickly looked up and around only to see that it was Rita Cosby screaming at this newspaper editor on TV.
"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" she screeched!
"THIS IS CENSORSHIP! ARE YOU CRAZY" she screamed!
The story goes that a newspaper editor in Colorado got so many complaints about the over coverage of Scott/Laci/Kobe that he ordered a blackout of the story in his newspaper.
Rita had the owner of the paper on as well at the same time she had on the Newspaper Editor. The Editor was sitting next to Rita, and the owner of the paper was LIVE via satellite.
The owner said that he disagreed with the decision not to cover the Peterson case and Kobe Bryant but that he deliberatly left these decisions up to his editors.
Rita attempted to get the Owner to then fire the editor on the air.
"I THINK SOME CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE AT YOUR PAPER SIR! THIS IS CENSORSHIP! YOU NEED TO GET SOME NEW EDITORS!" Rita yelled.
"WILL YOU BE FIRING HIM?" Rita asked.
The owner replied that he didn't think termination was neccessary and repeated that he disagreed with the decision but that he lets the editors make all the decisions.
"THATS RIDICULOUS!" Rita yelled.
If we get enough people to complain about this we can get this coverage stopped. Imagine how wonderful it would be if Foxnews were to order a complete blackout on this story just like the Newspaper Editor in Colorado did.
Rita Cosby would be looking for a new job!
We've got the numbers in order to influence them. I'm pretty sure O"Reilly is sick of the Laci Peterson stuff as well. When he tosses to Hannity and Colmes he has to say whats coming up on their show.
He usually shakes his head and says "Laci Peterson Again..." with a smirk on his face
Lets make this an ongoing campaign. Boycott Scott Peterson, Laci Peterson, and Kobe Bryant!!!
Greta can have her little legal discussions but keep them ON The Record and Off shows like Hannity and Colmes and Dayside!
Don't go to Toys R Us because they don't carry them because they aren't PC. I bought mine at my local grocery store. Every time the dog barks I shoot the cap gun. He doesn't like it.
"Is your neighbor's barking incessantly also. Darn thing has been at it all day. Woof, woof, woof...woof, woof, woof...woof, woof, woof..."
HEEAY, NEIGHBORS!!!
And, what? Is the neighbor's dog barking so loudly and so long you can't hear the whirly bird circling overhead?
INCOMMMINNG!!!!
The poor choice past-Christmas puppy gift got a reprieve tonight. We had spaghetti instead. ;)
Do yourself a favor and keep 33 decibel earplugs on hand ... the highest decibel protection I've been able to find thus far.
Kind of a weird response from Roger Ailes' office, don't you think?
For several years, if I was home, the television was on and tuned to Fox News. The past couple of months, all that has changed. The reason: Kobe and Scott. Well, that's not entirely the reason, but they are the glaring synptom of a much more serious problem, and that is the picking and choosing of what gets reported. With all due respect, your priorities stink. In a year, 10 years, 20 years, nobody is even going to know who Scott Peterson and Kobe Bryant are, and most people wish they didn't know now. It is no wonder that America is such a mess when the top Cable News network thinks THAT is what is important in America today. Well, maybe it is if you're trying to appeal to the brainless wonders of the public school system whose idea of mental stimulation is MTV, but if you are trying to hold on to a reasonably intelligent audience, I would recommend you aim a little higher.
Our country is at war, our borders are being invaded, expressions of our faith are being driven underground, racism is not only being institutionalized, but enshrined, we have a judge in Florida passing a death sentence on a woman who has committed no crime while protecting the one who has committed crimes against her, democrats in congress can't open their mouths without undermining the president, we have traitors sitting on the Senate intelligence committee selling out national security in deference to their political ambitions and in the Senate, they can't seem get it through their pea brains that they are in the minority and use playground level bullying and childish temper tantrums to keep the president's judicial nominees from going to the floor for a vote because they object to the fact that these are judges who honor the Constitution instead of being judicial tyrants who hold the entire country hostage to the communist agenda of the likes of the ACLU and NAACP.
These are all issues that will impact ALL of our futures, and the futures of our children and grandchildren. These are issues whose disposition will determine the course of history for generations to come, but what do you talk about? Kobe and Scott. WHO CARES? I will get my news from Free Republic. I will still turn on Fox, and sometimes do when someone on Free Republic says there is something on worth hearing about and with which I am concerned as an American, but those times are getting less frequent all the time. I hate seeing Fox News go the way of the rest of the media, giving a platform to every fork-tongued, empty-headed blowhard with a belly full of hatred for everything American while virtually ignoring that these are the same people who are gnawing away the very fabric of our country. Is there anybody left in the media who has an objective relationship with the truth?
"Now back to our regularly scheduled program. In this episode, we will discuss the secret relationship between Scott Peterson and Kobe Bryant."

"All emails to Mr. Ailes are being screened and tracked and he may not read your email for quite some time, if at all."
Kind of a weird response from Roger Ailes' office, don't you think?
Unusual, but only its honesty.
Many CEO's email address or (snail-mail address) give the warm fuzzy impression that they're going to be reading all the mail "they" get. At least Ailes is honest and upfront enough to give the sender a clear notification that he has flunkies reading his mail for him (like most public figures), and he'll actually see only a fraction of the mail addressed to him.
NO to Kobi TV
NO to Snipe Case TV
This infomation should be on page 10A of the daily fish wrap and maybe a minute TV news report.
I have some problematic news about oil prices which I believe hit $35 a barrel soon.
Unless some company is building a new oil refinery to replace to one that is closing in this article below, less oil means less gasoline and that equals higher prices.
Shell Oil Products announced Thursday it will close down a refinery in Bakersfield next year because of the decreasing supply of crude oil in the area, company officials said. The refinery, which has been in Bakersfield for 70 years and employs 215 people, depends on availability of San Joaquin Heavy Crude to make gasoline, gas oil, butane and other products. SOURCE
The breakneck pace of Chinese economic expansion is rapidly changing the oil demand map," the agency added, forecasting China would overtake Japan as Asia's biggest oil consumer in the second half of next year.

LOL! Excellent letter, sweetliberty.
Yes, you're right about Ailes' 'honest' automated reply. Anyway, I sure hope our e-mails start "making noise" at FNC.
