    I heard that all the cable news outlets are in serious trouble !

    NO…not because of a dip in ratings but because of plumbing problems.

    Apparently all those Keith Olbermann resumes have blocked the pipes.

    How much longer for Erin Burnett?

    I have asked this a few times, but it would seem quite a pertinent question.

    How much would it cost CNN to buy out/terminate her early?

    Breaking…
    The Chicago Way: Justice for Sale at Holder’s DOJ

    An explosive Newsweek article set to rock official Washington…

    Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer is set to reveal how Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice are operating under a “justice for sale” strategy by forgoing criminal prosecution of Wall Street executives at big financial institutions who just so happen to be clients of the white-shoe law firms where Holder and his top DOJ lieutenants worked.

    Developing…

    @Coffee Steve

    The numbers for friday is still pretty high which means they can’t even take off a friday from the brainwashing of Fox News… to like go to a movie… Et at red lobsters or something. Go to the library. Something productive.

    @Ratboy & USN

    They have a new and improved UnderWare Bomb, and this one is a serious threat, and also they have implanted explosives inside some bombers.

    Look for tighter security at Airports if you have any flying to do

    @Andies,

    FYI, MSNBC’s highest-rated shows in the A25-54 demo on Fridays are at 11pm and 12am (8pm, 9pm West Coast).

    Russians are Putin again, Putin enters office for a third term, and was Putin as he entered office. All Hail President Putin

    (I don’t care how you put it or type it, that just doesn’t look right)

    @Marvin – How much longer for Erin Burnett?

    I think she will last atleast into September maybe October. They usually do not start a new program during the summer. They want to wait until people are trapped in their homes due to weather.

    Anderson Cooper’s numbers aren’t worthy of what they are paying him either. Their whole line up is sinking.

    I think that many times you are better off starting off with some unknown that needs to prove themselves so they work harder at delivering what an audiance will tune into.

    @Hillbilly

    Since your here overnight, make sure you put REAL WET paint in Ratboys seat and top it with Superglue :shock:

    Peace

    When satellites were the new “this is better than sliced bread” for measuring global temps all was solved. Guess what? Now their adjusting the satellite data to fit the models. :lol: These folks never learn. You can’t keep changing the rules, adjusting the data, refusing FOIA requests, etc & expect folks to take you seriously.

    Read more here.

    The paper does not resolve all the discrepancies among the records, and researchers will continue to look at ways to reconcile those conflicts.

    “It will be interesting to see how these differences are resolved in the coming years,” Po-Chedley said.

    IE..they will need more grant money to study & adjust the data to fit their already “the science is settled out comes.” Their amazing result was +0.08 F per decade. Now thats not global, only the tropics. The tropics warmed +0.08 F in a decade..we are doomed.

    They examined 3 different sources of satellite data. University of Alabama in Huntsville, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Remote Sensing Systems. I’ll give you one guess as to who had the bad data?

    Now the real kick in the balls.

    The Remote Sensing Systems and NOAA reports continue to reflect warming of the troposphere that’s close to the surface measurements, with warming of 0.26 F per decade and 0.33 F respectively.

    NOAA & Remote Sensing Systems has a difference of 0.07 F but their OK with that. :roll: I guess 0.07 F is the cut off point. Wonder why 99% of the time these “adjustments & errors” they find are always to make the earth warmer?

    I was shocked to see sex-tape starlet Kim Kardashian and noted shoplifter Lindsay Lohan at the WH dinner. But it has shocked me even more to learn that they were invited by Fox News Channel. What were they thinking?

    —————————-

    Their trying to create a Monica Lewinsky type controversy. I’m sure Media Matters will have the story any day now. FNC edited bleeped Ted Nuggent cussing, so i wouldn’t put anything pass them evil b*sturds. :lol:
