Wow…what a drop from last Monday.
Plenty of Hookers for everyone…. Twenty or 21 women were brought back to the hotel in Colombia by U.S. Secret Service and military personnel. 11 agents – 5 servicemen.. Classic big government spending, plenty of unnecessary spares.
Monday night blues, numbers are down
O’Reilly and Hannity are good
Greta higher than usual
#2 and # 3 not good at all…
The top part of this chart seems to be the same as Friday…?
*NBC is reporting that the agents in Columbia had in fact Presidents Schedule in the rooms.
If that’s true guys, that’s scary stuff and put him in real danger. This story is about to get alot bigger. And it should, we can’t have him in that kind of danger.
Beckel did a fantastic job on Hannity last night…….http://hotair.com/archives/2012/04/17/video-beckel-did-a-bad-bad-thing/
Beckel, you are too funny.
@ coffee
Woah! they could and should face criminal charges for that!
Actually, I think those are decent demo numbers for MSNBC, especially in earlier primetime. CNN is another story. They can’t be happy with numbers like these and this isn’t an anomoly. Not only do they need to revamp their talent, they need a revamped executive team. The current lineup of “suits” has failed and they should be fired.
What bothers me the most about the whole Columbian ‘Ho scandal, is the dude who refused to come up with 42 extra bucks for ‘extras’. What a ‘cheap charle’. Had he coughed up the 42 bucks, everyone would have gone home happy and none the wiser.
@Joan
My guess is if that story turns out to be true, they will face charges. And should. That is so absurd to put our President in that kind of harms way, and if they have done this in the past, we are all very lucky nothing happened.
What has happened to people in important places in out Country? God help us all!
Chicken is DONE!!!! 24 pieces, I’ll fax all of you some
BBL…
Please do I hate to cook!
Watch DOVN. It’s the wave of the future.
Hi Coffee,
Whew! You are a patient person, but I bet that chix is wonderful. Now, if I can assemble all of those ingredients, I may try to make some. R-Boy, Oh, come on, you know that you are neck and neck with Boss, however, The Boss leans more to my favored left side, but, don’t fret, you are still way up on my like list. USNRx2 guy: I’m not angry at you. In fact, I enjoy your commentary. It’s just that I am ‘busy’ with my other friends, who keep me on my toes. Later.
@1Nancy2
Whew! You are a patient person
Right now I am one huge stuffed person. Top the chicken with my Homemade white sauce, and green beans and you have the makings for a heavenly meal. No dessert for this ole diabetic though, but to be honest I don’t have room for it anyway
@d.d.
Heres one for ya d.d.
*More U.S. cities set to enter default danger zone
(Reuters) – America’s swelling ranks of fallen municipal borrowers have been blamed in the past year on ‘what-were-they-thinking’ causes, be it a Taj Mahal sewer system in Alabama or an overpriced trash incinerator in Pennsylvania’s capital city of Harrisburg.
But the next series of major cities and counties in danger of defaulting on their debt can hardly point to one single decision for their malaise. Whether it be Detroit, Miami or Providence, Rhode Island, their problems have a lot more to do with financial policies that put them on course to live well beyond their means.
Reuters
If anyone from MSNBC or Al Sharpton’s “Politics Nation” show reads this board give your viewers more credit for intelligence. At 6:20pm on tonight’s broadcast while talking about Romney, the caption at the bottom of the screen read “47% of Americans find Romney Unfavorable”. Doesn’t that mean 53% are Favorable?
Well all 5 under classmen at Kentucky are leaving for the draft, but pre-season ranking still have Kentucky at #1, Louisville #2 and Indiana #3
Should be another fun year next year
