Since most of these libs have openly made digusting statements about President Bush, please feel free to let them know how you feel.

I am so thrilled that Limp Biskit is performing. I wonder if they will tell people to riot and detroy everything in sight like they did at Woodstock.

Oh goody. We get to see our national celebrities parade before us with the excuse of them getting together for a social gathering and trying to convince us that they are pro-American and love our country. PASS!

[OldFriend]

Lucky us..the cable is out!!!!

[LBGA]

Okay... a couple of conservs in the lineup, I think. Clint Eastwood for sure, and I think Kelsey Grammer.

Clint, I hope you say "make my day" to Osama.

I am so glad Calista Flockhart will be appearing. Without her wisdom, I don't know how I could get through this crisis.

[WIMom]

Thanks for calling me over. Please give good analysis since I'm not watching! Thanks

ROFL!
Who will be the first to call for whirled peas?

Did anyone see O'Reilly tonight? He spoke to a guy from charitywatch.org, with the overall question being: who is going to oversee all the $ being raised for the victims, from all the different charities.

The guy told O'R that it is up to the individual charity's Board of Directors. He also pointed out there will be some victims that will not require any assistance, having their own insurances, and company plans, etc.

O'R ticked off about 5 different charities that have already raised well over 200M, and one charity told him they have so much money they don't know what to do with it all.

Is it maybe time to hold off on further donations until it is determined how many need how much?

Believe his show will be re-run tonight at 11:00EST.

[WIMom]

I brought the deviled eggs. Please help yourselves.

[LBGA]

I was walking by the family room when I saw O'Reilly ask someone about the mayor's long-time chauffeur getting the job as head of security at Logan.

Sheeesh. He knows how to get a long limo around a corner and that qualifies him as head of security?

[Miss Marple]

I will be checking in from time to time, but I cannot watch. I am too afraid that my blood pressure will pop an artery.

[WIMom]

I'm not watching either.

[piasa]

Maybe the spare cash could be directed to servicepeople's families.

[LBGA]

Me neither.. it's up to HLL. Sharpen your claws, gal.

[MamaLucci]

Yum...I love deviled eggs.
I don't plan on watching, either.

[WIMom]

And, we will get some good comments, no doubt. I miss having the TV near the computer. Maybe we will get this stupid basement done before Christmas. argggggggggg.

You guys have to keep me updated. I am at work so I can't watch. I want them to have separate totals for the amounts those celebrities have donated. So far I have only heard that Jim Carey (Candian) has donated $1 million and rapper Dr. Dre has also donated a million. Has anyone else donated anything noteworthy?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Ok, here we go. Bruce Springsteen singing....... HEY WAIT!! HE'S HAD A FACIAL PEEL AND BOTOX!!!!

[WIMom]

Are they singing "I'd like to teach the world to sing"?

[PoisedWoman]

Devilled eggs? Yum. How do you make them?
