This young new Republican Congressman on w/ Greta Van Sustern is GREAT — Grimm from New York. Well spoken, direct, sure of himself, and knows what he’s there to do.

Time to clean out all the old swampswimmers ... it’s clear they’ve failed. We need to give the new blood a chance to talk and to drive the car from now on.

Guys like this, like Ryan etc. give me a lot of hope.

I lost my faith in Fox the day after the Tucson shootings.

[Yardstick]

Is this the same problem that has caused the slow performance for several months now?

If so, hallelujah, and I can’t wait to see how FR performs at the next big high-traffic event.

"eventually the whole system gummed up and stopped responding"

Now that's exactly what I've been trying to say, but don't have enough knowledge in technical terms to explain myself.

[mylife]

Thanks for your hard work!

Guys like this, like Ryan etc. give me a lot of hope.

Don't you think it's interesting that someone named RYAN was chosen to give the GOP rebuttal? You know, Ryan, like the guy BO defeated (by unsealing his divorce records) for the Illinois Senate race?

[luvie]

Just so you know...we appreciate everything you and Jim do to keep this sanctuary from the madness up and running.

It’s got to make you want to pull your hair out sometimes, though! LOL!

[Liberty Valance]

Thank you John.

[pulaskibush]

Tea Party Rebuttal up now!

[John W]

Thanks guys.

Sounds complicated to me but I am always in the center of denial. Lov you still. You must have a very stressful job.

[Red Steel]

I tuned in for one minute and thought Biden was so bored he was going to pull out his hair plugs.

LoL. :-)

OK I didn ‘t see most of Obama’s speech because I was watching the Ohio State-Purdue game. I’d flip over during commercials. I get the impression that Obama was not that impressive. Someone on ABC thought he wasn’t that great and Kirsten Powers on FNC sounded disappointed. Even Krathammer on FNC didn’t like it and he’s been loving Obama lately. I thought Ryan was fine. Juan Williams said the Ryan Roadmap has been ignored by both parties. Is this true? It’s pretty much the most serious approach to cutting spending and dealing with the deficit issue. I thought Bachmann was fine but maybe it was just me but I thought she wasn’t looking straight at the camera but maybe a little to the right of the camera. But I liked what she had to say.

[Yardstick]

Ended up being a complicated little mess...I disabled DNS lookups on the DB and it seems to be okay now. We’ll see how it goes.

Is this the problem that's been slowing FR down during high-traffic times for the last several months? In other words, do you think you've found THE problem?

[HollyB]

Thank you for all of your work, I’m sure it can be quite frustrating. We appreciate it very much, as we’re all a bit addicted to FR ; ) Blessings to you.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Its interesting the CNN was the only one that showed Bachmann’s response live.

For those who missed the evening’s events (as I did) here’s a link to Ryan’s response: http://www.shallownation.com/2011/01/24/republican-response-to-state-of-the-union-address-2011-video-paul-ryan-speech-jan-25/

And now FOX has that Susan Ostrich on. What the hell is going on? Enough of this fair and BS stuff.

I lost my sweet Dachshund 13 months ago and he is still remembered. They will always be with you. Read this:

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
