    Gabriel:: my definition of double taxation is getting a pay check, paying the 30 per cent ordinary tax rate, managing to save a few bucks and investing in general electric stock, getting a dividend and being hit with another tax at the same rate as the first time even if the value of the stock went down…why would anyone invest their money under such a scenario…Obama calls this fair, I call it stupid and bad economics..

    62K in the demo for AC360 at 8pm smells like an all-time low.
    The O’Reilly Factor at 8pm has been on the low side in the demo as well, close to being beaten by its own 11pm run.

    What’s up with all these instances of ‘HLN Local Edition’? Is HLN turning to local news for much of the day now?

    All I can say is if anyone listened to gutted to five minutes on the five they would be hooked for good. He is hysterical.

    Joan asked: “Apple did nancy Grace lose her prime time spot?”

    She didn’t, according to the table above. I no longer get HLN, so I can’t confirm.
