Coffee, pls tell me you are kidding about what the CNN contributor said!!
@DB
I wish I was kidding, but nope, it was actually said on CNN. Theres video on mediaite
@DB
Is it any wonder why CNN is in last place?
suiko, you make it very hard not to comment on your IQ but I won’t. Also, try to get through a post without using the F word either in full or abbreviated. Again goes to your IQ.
$17 muffins at a government conference. Strain your brain, you can remember. This does show it was an insignificant issue, even to you.
uhhh, you mean when people on FN and everywhere were complaining about 16 dollar muffins which was wrong…the muffins weren’t 16 dollars yet people kept saying they were? People in here bring up insignificant topics like they always do, same with the muffins I guess…..however I don’t ever remember talking to anyone in here about muffins.
Get through a post without using the F word? I’ve only used it twice since I’ve started posting here which has been awhile now…so don’t even exaggerate. But keep going around calling people idiots and dumb without actually USING the words…..
Just seen on a local station here, a small Occupy Louisville group are walking around with signs, If the GSA can afford all that stuff, then they can afford to pay us
Night Everyone
Peace
I recently asked my neighbors’ little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, are liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’
She replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.’
Her parents beamed with pride.
’Wow…what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that! You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.‘
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ’ Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50? ‘
I said, ‘Welcome to Conservatism.’
Oh, by all means, lets have people with untreated schizophrenia come into the gated communities of America so they can pull weeds and mow lawns. Feel free to visit your local underpass and make the offer yourself.
lets have people with untreated schizophrenia come into the gated communities of America so they can pull weeds and mow lawns.
Talk about being followed with a gun……Zimmerman case all over again…I kid I kid. That was just for you DB.
Good Moring all
Got on the bike and was just enjoying the ride and was heading home and all of a sudden I could not see.
Could not see going home right then on a good riding day.
Does anybody take CNN news seriously?
Then again does anybody take any of the News stations seriously?
Just about all of the talk that I have heard on CNN, has been a current event that everybody reports with a bunch of trivia that may or may not be accurate because they are talking to someone that has know idea what they are talking about or speculating on something that they really do not have enough information on to make an educated guess. Their research seams to be shallow. Or maybe it is their anchors that are shallow and can’t comprehend the good research from the trivial BS.
Fox and MSNBC at least do a little better job of researching. The problem with fox and MSNBC is that they think they are in debate class and the information is always slanted toward their opinion on the debate. Which has a definite slant.
Goooooooooood Morning Everyone
@usnretiredx2
STOP IT!!! Ya scared the bee jeebers out of me
Bill O and Hannity about to sign big time deals
*O’Reilly, Hannity inking new multimillion dollar deals with Fox
Fox News is in the process of inking new deals worth millions of dollars with primetime hosts Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity, a spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Caller Wednesday.
The impending deals were first reported Wednesday by Deadline.com. The website reported that the “new multi-year, multi-million dollar agreements … are expected to be completed by early next week.”
O’Reilly and Hannity — whose shows are the highest rated in cable television — joined Fox at its launch in 1996.
Good Morning!!
navydude, you suck! You scared me too, but…………….I may get even!
Jobless claims up again
But there is some good news, manufacturing looks stronger this month, not as many layoff’s as expected due to gas prices.
Hey Rats?
Our gas is back over $4.00 what’s it like there?
Vetting Hannity would provide many new jobs….he’s such a fool! Besides who cares what he says?? I certainly do not.
Gavin Newsome will be next Governor of Cali and will eventually run for the White House. He is truly a great leader with compassion and courage, GOP fear this guy.
Ted Nugent….sadly we lived in the same small town. He opened a gun hunting shop in the 90′s….went belly up….quick! Its common knowledge in our town that he was a reclusive a$$hole that no one really liked…..Jackson Michigan is the birth place of the GOP and they can’t stand him.
Better “story”
I asked my neighbors child who’s parents are extremely conservative and bible thumpers “what would you like to be when you grow up?”
“Definitely not a Republican!!” She said “Republicans side with big business, greedy banks, oil companies, and do not tale care of the Earth GOD gave us
Then her parents went immediately to register as Democrats.
Good Morning usnretired!!! Mr. Coffee!!! D.D. Suiko!
Good Morning Jeff, hope your morning is off to a good one
@Ratboy
I’m going over the latest credit report on my paid part of Moody’s. Dude, they are starting to scare me, you don’t want to know what they are saying about the housing market. But I’ll tell ya anyway
*New US RMBS Deal Lacks Process for Resolving Repurchase Conflicts
As the mortgage crisis has shown, having clear mechanisms for resolving disputes between investors and providers of representations and warranties (R&W) is critical for any US RMBS transaction. Given this, the lack of these key procedures is a credit negative for such deals. Industry commentators have noted that a recently launched deal from CSFB, CSFB Mortgage Securities Corp. 2012-CIM1, seems to fall into this category, as it did not include procedures for conflicts resolution over repurchases of defective loans for 82% of the pool…
And boys and girls? 3 years without a budget and the White House yesterday telling Paul Ryan if he doesn’t stop it with the cuts, they won’t sign any spending bills has Moody’s in a bad mood. We do NOT want Moody’s cutting the rating, if they do, the market will explode.
This could come to a head by Mid-June.

Hey Rats?
Our gas is back over $4.00 what’s it like there?
it has been ping ponging back and forth. It had dropped way down but then we got a 25 cent hit all at once. then it triclkled downd then up then down. We are at $3.98 this morning but I am betting that a Thursday will bring an increase going into the weekend.
