It’s harder to cancel a magazine than it is to resign as Sunday School Teacher.
They are having so much trouble keeping subscribers, they will keep you on the list even if you don’t pay.
That way they can show bigger numbers to their advertisers.
You can count on getting the “O” forever.
Well, yeah, but you can’t pick on wimmen and you can’t pick on Blacks, so who the heck CAN we pick on??
If only Cheney was our candidate for Pres. in 2008 we would not be seeing the wild scramble occurring now for the nomination. Sigh!
Zinger, and a darned good one. LOL
Thanks, again, Anita. Bozell’s piece on Brokaw’s totally irrational hatred of Rush Limbaugh and talk radio, is outstanding. Brokaw obviously has never listened to Rush’s radio program. Brokaw knows as much about Rush as Brokaw knows about the sex habits of the “Arkansas Broadbeam.”
Thanks for that link, 3PD.
“Just looking at him [Brit]makes me feel reassured, kinda like looking at Cheney.”
Yes, that’s for sure. He epitomizes “fair and balanced”. I don’t think FOX News would have been as successful as it has been without him at the helm as Washington managing editor. He expects the best of his staff and gets it. Those who file reports for Special Report do a great job.
I’ll never forget the FNS on the Sunday after 9/11. Tony Snow and Brit were talking about the weeks events and were fighting back tears. When Tony read his commentary at the end of the show, he lost it and the tears came.
Love those two guys.
I think she does have allergies or maybe asthma .. I recognize that cough from family members who suffer from them.

Surprisingly, I’m a big fan of Mara Liason, who was also a member of my Washington Sports Club on Capitol Hill. Too bad someone can’t slip her a throat lozenge when she is suffering from her frequent colds and allergies.

I have a recollection that she was being congratulated for a new baby in the last year or so, but can’t locate any info about that.
Exactly! Wasn’t it ole Joe Stalin who said: “It isn’t who you vote for that matters, but what matters is who counts the votes?”
Not to support our troops wholeheartedly is a sin IMHO!
We are blessed with the greatest fighting men the world has every produced and the letter you refer to is a perfect example of our soldiers who value so highly God, Country,Family and Freedom!!
The fact that Veneable got thanks from Gen.Petraeus does not surprise me either. He will go down in history as one of our greatest Generals ever, despite the actions of people like Webb and the rest of the traitorous dems who will not fund our great fighting men in time of war have to say or not.
I predict that the dictators there will get there way and no on will ever know what the real vote count was.
“The biggest question I have about Guiliani is very difficult to answer.
My question is will he overlook his own views on issues like immigration, abortion and others issues in favor of a more conservative take on what is best for the nation as possible leader of a conservative party should he become potus?
I don’t think anyone can answer that question, so it comes down to character.”
He shouldn’t get more Conservative. Giuliani needs to take a stand saying that he will not push his personal beliefs in the social realm onto an agenda in his administration, that he will allow and even give the Conservative movement what it needs to accomplish its goals on the state level and in the Supreme Court.
he needs to also say that he will prevent Liberals on the Federal level to advance their progressive agenda.
She does seem to walk to the beat of her own drummer.(Maybe she will leave the dark side one of these days)

That is for the website for the
media kit info.
I would think the #’s for the TV
show audience would be much bigger.
