I just stuck with TLC. Didn’t have to listen to the likes of the usual libs like Shep, Vieira, Lauer, Walters ad naseum.

I’ve been fascinated with the horses. The white ones are too short for thoroughbreds, like the dark, socked ones at the flank?

They were silent on Fox...just a few comments here and there. Jonathan Hunt and Shep had a very strange exchange will I’ll spare you.

It’s because the wedding ceremony is a worship service and a kiss is a physical salute, a more personal thing, than is appropriate in a worship service.

I’ve always wondered why the queen has not updated her hairdo. I’ll swear she has worn the same do all her life!
She could be so much more attractive.

Camilla, looking very stern and waving her hand, mouthed something to Charles. He didn’t respond.
