Ooooh I can smell it from here snugs!
As a result, I was volunteered to move boxes and rearrange furniture. By the time I got back to the TV, the road show was over.
I guess there is a benefit to Geraldo getting too much time on FNC after all. Just not the one I had in mind.

The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - The Review
By Mark Kilmer
Sunday, August 5, 2007
On NBC's Meet the Press, Secretary of Defense Bob Gates repeated that we will reassess our strategy in Iraq after General Petraeus reports in September. He said there is a "possibility" that we could begin to draw down our troop levels in Iraq by the end of the year.
On FNS, Secetary of State Condoleezza Rice asked that we not "dismiss the efforts" of the Iraq government, even if there has been no final resolution on the big issues.
Next on FNS, Michael O'Hanlon and Ken Pollack of the lefty outfit Brookings Institution explained that they had been to Iraq, done some serious study, and determined that the surge was working militarily. O'Hanlon suggest the possibility of having the Iraqis reschedule their planned 2009 elections to replace the Maliki government sooner.
On TW, host George Stephanopoulos hosted a GOP Iowa debate. This was the real thing: 90 minutes, a hall, podiums, the whole bit. The responses from the candidates were like the last ones and the ones before that, and Fred Thompson wasn't there. Everyone else, including Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul, was there.
First up on FTN, Secretary Rice said that though the Iraqi parliament is going on vacation, they were asked to be ready to vote on important legislation. The leaders of the Iraqi parliament are working on just such legislation. She did not, however, promise that anything would happen.
Next up on FTN, DCCC Chairman Rahm Emanuel, a former Clinton (Bill) staffer, boasted that his boss had solved all the problems in the middle east and that this President had squandered six years and now was forced to "buy" good will from the middle eastern countries with arms sales.
On CNN's Late Edition, Wolf Blitzer asked Secretary Gates when we would start to draw down troops in Iraq. (It is unclear but important whether this taped interview took place before or after he told Tim Russert that a beginning of a drawdown before the end of the year was "possible.") They are, he said on LE, developing plans for the various contingencies which may be contained in the report.
Next on LE, Carl Levin said that the surge had failed, there was no chance of political progress before the report in September. He later added that any of the Democrat candidates was more prepared to be President than any of the Republicans.

LOL!!
WOOO HOO!!
yes you do!
I mean it— I am holding you to that....
In fact— working on a special event for that very occasion!
;-)
“I fine thanks picked another 5 margarine containers of blackberries this morning. So I am about to make some blackberry bread from a recipe that Lysie gave me.”
Snugs! That may be off topic but it’s still the most interesting item posted so far! LOL.
THANK YOU!
The feedback I am getting is that they hated the last segment with all the yelling...
the local folks here that know me and jk.....they see him trying to set me up, etc....
but say I held my ground well, and loved YOU!!!
;-)
Here's a page with listings of show times for the first show's episodes and the first 3 of this years. Brown has a show page with details on all six episodes on his own web site.
And no, I'm not being paid by him to post this <g>
If only someone could get through to FNN and convince them to ditch the current Sunday Morning host and some of their more objectionable people and go back to being fair and balanced, and not just fairly balanced.
Yeah, I would guess that having cigars in the Treaty Room with the Pres is more access. LOL How neat is that?
Bishop Gene Robinson is an embarrassment to Episcopalians.
He is possibly the worst person they could have found had they looked the wide world over to be an advocate for gays in the priesthood/bishopry.
Everything about him is creepy and offensive.
I am Episcopalian. I miss participating in this thread so I can go to service. My church is fairly conservative.
I try not to think about the national church.
I think it is fitting that Gene endorses Obama, although why he doesn’t endorse Edwards I can figure out.
Why is it every time I think about meeting you I start to needed a very long, very cold shower?
Gotta be the quote of the day week month year.
I turned the sound up this morning and listened to Timmy and the Meet The Perps participants,, Gates was OK, Timmy predictable in his questioning..
The round panel or whatever they call that liberal love fest having folks like Bernstein and Kearns and such on was a bit much, a typical spew-a-rama for Hillary and Obama,, I had to change the channel, it was too much. click
FNC with Greta and/or Geraldo drove me away. Sadly, that means I many times miss Hannity because of timing. FNC seems to be trying to get a broader audience but I believe they are losing many who watched more often.
I rarely watch BOR, like you, and I will give Laura a fair hearing for her program on CNN. I also watch Glen Beck on occaaion.
It’s a good thing viewers have more than FNC to watch. This is what we have complained about for years, IF these networks allow our side a fair hearing.
The book was excellent. [McCullough’s John Adams]
*****
Highly recommended. If our schoolchildren were exposed to that book, they would have a totally different perspective on the legacy they have been given by our Founders.
Wait till you see what I have for dinner you will smell that :o)
He said he was endorsing Obama because of Obama's "experience with racism and discrimination." Huh? Didn't Obama go to Harvard and becoming editor of a prestigious student law review there? Didn't Obama, a relative unknown, give the keynote address at the Democrat Presidential nominating convention in 2004? Isn't he a US Senator, who after only a few years of experience in the Senate is one of the front-runners for the Democrat Presidential nomination?
In Edwards' case, there were reports that he told a newsman at one time that he was "uncomfortable" with homosexuals.

Episcopal bishop ejects clergy
By Julia Duin
August 3, 2007
Virginia Episcopal Bishop Peter J. Lee defrocked 20 of his former clergy, 18 men and two women, in a document signed Aug. 1, saying they had “abandoned” the church when they quit the denomination last year over the 2003 consecration of an openly homosexual bishop.
Virginia Episcopal Bishop Peter J. Lee has ejected 20 of his former clergy from the priesthood after they quit the denomination in December over the 2003 consecration of New Hampshire Bishop V. Gene Robinson, who is openly homosexual.
