Good morning everyone. I was unable to access the internet this morning, after having wierd things happening to my computer yesterday. I now have my cable power cord connected directly to my modem which solves the computer problem but leaves me without a television. This may be, on the whole, a good thing.
If you have cable internet and TV you may have a weak signal coming in. I had this problem. I called my cable supplier and they came out and fixed the problem.
FNC is reminding us multiple times that f you buy CITGO gas you're supporting Hugo Chavez. I'm switching to something else.
MSNBC is hysterical that the stock market might break it's all time high today claiming that's the reason for Bush's approval numbers rising.
Too bad Imus didn't chide Chris Matthews about the number of Hardball viewers:

If Matthews lost his cool over Imus saying Matthews was among the MSM who was initially for the war, just imagine how a ratings discussion would have upset him.
Dead last, Chris! Dead last!!! LOL
I swear this is true. Chris Matthews just said white people lie to pollsters. Then he cited two campaigns where the men who polled way ahead, ended up losing. LOL! 'Why don't they just tell the truth?", Matthews pleads.
somehow, I don't get it, he's tying this into race and ethnicity, and George Allen's Jewish mother.
"but leaves me without a television"
I believe that's against the law.
Again, I was zoning out and really wasn't listening to Matthews during that segment. I'm about ready for some Seinfeld.
Brain Lamb Friday!

Grimaldi, James Correspondent, [Washington Post]
Mr. Grimaldi talks about investigations into current and former members of Congress including Representatives Bob Ney (R-OH) and William Jefferson (D-LA) as well as former Congressman Duke Cunningham (R-CA). He also discusses efforts by the House and Senate to change earmark and lobbying laws.
Oh Good! This should be very interesting, lp!

Poor Chrissie has always hated it that people (like us) lie to the pollsters. Hey Chrissie, it's none of your business who I plan to vote for, or who I did-as in exit polls.
Looks like I'll have to play my recording of "ScrewBall" tonight.
I just love it when Chrissie is depressed. I so enjoyed Imus this a.m.!
Boring? As a rule I tune him out but when he started off complimenting the President for getting out there and showing the public he was in charged, something we hadn't seen since 9/11, it perked my interest.
As he began to analyze the reasons for the turn around, he couldn't contain his annoyance that the dems have lost their moment in the sun; that the MSM was not covering the war as extensively as they should and that Chavez's rumblings will keep GWB on the front pages, which is precisely what I believe prompted Rangel and Pelosi to come out in support of our President and gleam some spotlight.
BTW Rush played Rangel's comments made a few years ago which closely parallels those spoken by Chavez yesterday. Hopefully Hannity will have an opportunity to call him on it.
Well Hannity didn't disappoint by playing horrible negative rhetoric about GWB that we've endured from Albore, Pelosi, Dean, Kennedy and Sharpton. Difficult to distinguish from those of Chavez. What Sean should have pointed out is that many of these remarks were made during a time of war and that both Albore and Carter chose to criticize him while they were overseas.
FRIDAY
SOOOOO funny to hear Bernard and Imus rail on Nancy Grace. Imus said no one watches her show and the only reason he even knows her show exist is because it's part of his job:

LOL as I notice Grace gets more viewers than any MSNBC host that Imus touts.
All is right with the world.
Blind Mississippi White Boy Pig's Feet Dupre' is in the Imus house.
He actually said that?
I've sort of followed the story but she's just got a hard edge. Imus has had her on in the past. Wonder when the next time will be?
Does the Pope wear a pinkie ring?
Don't you doubt me....he said it!
"Does the Pope wear a pinkie ring?"
Does he? :)
I should have know better then to ask that question :0)
that HARDBALL transcript should be available sometime today, and you remind me, I was just as incredulous as you when I heard him say it.
