Coffee Steve=Smart?
@1Nancy2: That was originally for Muhamed, not you. It was the first sentence of what I decided not to send, but it was tabbed down below my intended close. I saw it when it was already posted.
Coffee “Smart” Steve: Hey, I thought that you were taking a nap before your 3D movie? Are we in the same time zone?
@Ralph
I find it funny that someone like Jack would attack me (but failing miserable) then misuse the word their and they’re.
@Ralph
I tried to sleep but with a 12 year old in the house, we all know how that goes
@Suikostinger
You going to see Avengers tonight? and how did you like the hunger games?
I’ve been reading you all,so, my last comment today is , I’m a Conservative
BUT ……………
I’ve never been a fan of Shep . He’s flip, sarcastic at times , & has used the F word on the air more than once. I think he looks absolutely terrible , seems dissatisfied , &, is no longer doing any more than a passable job. In news , that doesn’t seem to matter much . Look at CNN for their mediocre reporting.
With so many viewers going online for news by laptop, ipad or phone, , cable news networks should work a little harder than they have been . I mean they should have a field of investigative news. Heaven knows, we need it.

Hannity in 2010 taking Obama COMPLETELY 100% out of context…..what is this? MSNBC? Hannity trying to pull the wool over your eyes like the hosts on MSNBC does. I thought this whole thing was suppose to be fair and balanced? Even as an OPINION show, you can’t do that….LOL
@Ratboy,
I’m sending you some lightning and rain – no wind to speak of, though.
@Hoppy
How ya doing Hoppy? great to see you on here
I’ll send Rats some too, the Derby can’t be rained on
@ Ralph,
Your and you’re – and then there’s the lay and lie confusion and the me/I problem.
We had our Derby Parade in Louisville tonight and…
Cyndi Lauper apologizes for using expletive before Pegasus Parade
Pop icon Cyndi Lauper apologized for using an expletive that was caught by a microphone prior to a short performance in the run-up to the Pegasus Parade. She said it happened out of frustration over technical difficulties.
OMG, the Bartender Hannity has Bolling and Gilfoyle as experts on the Middle East, now they are three of the dumbest on Fox, what a joke. LOL
Hangin’ in here, Steve – good to hear from everybody. I’m about an hour west of Rats, so what happens here doesn’t stay here.
@Hoppy
Your a brave man for admitting you live near Rats
Good thing we bought our tickets this morning, SOLD OUT for tonight, were heading out to make sure we get a good seat
Later Gators
Have a GREAT night everyone
Peace
And one last bit of wisdom for tonight
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
If either MSNBC or CNN…thinks it’s ever going to get their ratings up…they are going to have to drop their love fest for Obama….People are truly sick and tired of listening to them promote Obama around the clock.
Both networks obviously ignore the ratings…and probably don’t much care. How do advertiser even advertise on these cable news outlets? No one ever sees their commericials.
In regards to the person who thinks that a rather large number of old and feeble folks watch FNC, a little math might set the record straight.
FNC total daytime:……….1,212,000.
-25-50 years of age………..304,000……ages 25-35-50.
-35-64 years of age………..525,000……ages 35-50-65.
Leaves————————383,000.
Question how many of the 383 are below the age of 25?
Question how many of the 383 are above the age of 65?
The real question is how many peoples are counted twice between the ages of 35 and 50? Those folks are counted twice in both key demos.
P2+ = viewers over the age of 2.
(25-54) = Adults 25-54 viewing.
(35-64) = Adults 35-64 viewing.
FNC total Primetime:……….2,117,000.
-25-50 years of age………….404,000….ages 25-35-50.
-35-64 years of age………….776,000….ages 35-50-65.
Question how many of the 937,000 are below the age of 25?
Question how many of the 937,000 are above the age of 65?
The real question is how many peoples are counted twice between the ages of 35 and 50? Those folks are counted twice in both key demos.
@Suiko… >>> I find it funny that someone like Jack would attack me (but failing miserable) then misuse the word their and they’re <<<
I'm a Virgo and so is a younger woman who works with me. We both HATE when we see misspellings. I had another female friend who would write something like: "I think he's a real looser."
There are three other words that are all pronounced the same but are often misused. And, nearly every song is spelled in numerics as well as tye alphabet. I don't know if it started with Prince's "I Would Die 4 U" or Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U."
And, in hip-hop, eveery other song has the 'F' word in it. If not, one of the other (former) seven words that U can't say on TV."
My favorite rap song TITLE is "I Got 99 Problems But The B—h Ain't One."
My favorite rap compliment. "You're The S–t." Nice, huh?
Suckitsinger,Call the spelling cop’s and have them lock me up,I made a mistake .Suckitsinger thinks he’s Mr perfect ,no you’re just a ignorant idiot.Now go have a muffin and a smile.DB posted that you have a obsession with muffins. Are they blueberry muffins? Maybe you and Al Sharpie can make a blueberry muffin and a blueberry pie commercial together .It could be called blueberry night with dumb and dumber. Oh ,can’t forget Nancy .Dumb,dumber and dumbest.THEY’RE you happy now Suckitstinger?
Ralph ,now you’re sinking to the level of Suckitstinger .It’s the internet for christ sake’s .Who cares if someone misses a comma,colon or misspells a word.Yes I made a mistake and thanks to Suckitstinger for being so kind tand pointing that out.But that’s all he can do pointing out punctuation and spelling mistakes. One more thing Ralph ,thanking queen Nancy for that ignorant post she made to Muhamed or what ever his name is just show you’re sinking to the level of whale sh*t.I guess after your bad speller post you just show you’re lower then whale sh*t,just say hi to Suckitstinger and Nancy.
