Discussion of the past weeks show's and latest breaking news!!!
I was working so I missed it all..Nothing on the radio....Checked yahoo news at work...they said there were thousands...they had 59 pics one arial view...looks like 200,000 Thousand people!!
The rally was AWESOME! Sarah looked and sounded very presidential!
It was a historic event!
At LEAST! I figured 350K to 450K and most here say I'm WAY under.
BTW did you get an email about A.M's father?
My daughter has that cold kicked her butt!!!Build your immune system up to help!!! I am going to gog see if I can find a replay..kids got the TV so it will be off to the bedroom to see...sleep is the best sorry I am nosey...Go Sarah Go!!
No???
Found it!!
I haven't read it yet but did you see there's a thread on the FR front page about buses going to the rally? It's from WTAE so I know it will be on this weekend if not Monday.
Hello Greg and P6.
I watched some of the rally on a facebook link a FReeper posted. It was great, and you know, it wasn’t so much the speakers although they were great. It was seeing ALL THOSE AMERICANS there, and knowing there were 111,000+ on the facebook link alone.
Now let’s see how the MSM spins this one.
Have a great weekend!
All in all there had to be around a million or more watching! What a GREAT DAY! I hope Rose was there and has a report Monday!
BTW how did the trip to ohio go? Everything OK?
Yes, we are slowly making our move!
I also must say, the Star Bangled Banner rendition at the rally brought tears to my eyes. WOW
Did you catch Sarah wiping atear from her cheek during Amazing Grace?
Oops, have to run...Wife is taking me to work and just called. I'll be logged in at work in an hour or so.
I was only able to catch the last part of Sarah’s speech-when she introduced Marcus Lutrell and the two other gentlemen.
BTW WTAE is running their report on the Restore Honor rally. What a disappointment! At least it was a fairly long segemnt and had the local Tea PArty organizer Patty Weaver comment.
You could tell the anchorette - SHannon Preone(sp) - didn't like it. She openeed that the controversial rally was a gathering of Tea Party people.
As an aside WTAE is supposed to voice our weather forecasts. THe Afternoon crew has been trying to contact them all afternoon but hey won't answer. With Erin Kienzle having her baby Thursday they are short handed but still they should answer their phone!
Between us I think there is going to be a house cleaning at that station, probably after the first of the year.
If there is a house cleaning, then it better for people who can at least present the news without political slant. Channel 11 at least presented Beck’s rally and Sharpton’s rally and there seemed to be no overt bias. And frankly, that is all I want from news. Just tell me what is going on-we don’t need no stinkin’ Susan Roesgens.
Totally AGREE!
Although they better keep Demetrius or else....wait, what am I even saying. I will be watching some local Ohio news..
One of my former students was at the rally. He posted that is was awesome! Great guy..in the marines..I keep teasing him that someday he should run for office.
And I just had a "funny one" here at the station.
I had gone quite a way down the hall to the lunchroom to get my...lunch. Now as I think I mentioned I'm battling a SEVERE cold toinght, all the usual nose, eyes watering cough, sneeze fever, but I'm by myself and staying away from lots of equipment.
My back is out, my chest problems are noticable and I have few other things going on as well.
I'm usuing a walking stick my youngest son and I made for scouts a few years ago because my legs are a little wobbly.
IN any case while I'm in the lunchroom I hear the phone in the studio ring and figure it might be WTAE giving me the weather BUT try as I might the phone stopped rigning as soon as I got in the studio.
First I called WTAE but no answer so them worried there might be a problem at home I called my wife. Turns out she can't pick me up right at midnight because our oldest son is working, his wife has their car and won't make it to pick him up so my wife will have to do that first.
The funny part was if someone had video taped my with my stick trying to get down the hall as fast as possible!
Sometimes I feel SO old, LOL!
It is always that way...the phone stops ringing as soon as you get to it!!! And there seem to be a lot of people with that cold. I guess I will do the vitamin D/sunshine thing. Worked last year with the H1N1 thing!
Get well soon!!! Don’t work too hard.
