Interesting to note that CNN placed fourth in primetime in both 25-54 and in total viewers last night, and their average primetime viewership was their 2nd lowest since March, 1997 (lowest was Thanksgiving, 2011) .
CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight at 9PM had only 39,000 in viewers in the adults 25-54, the lowest demo viewership at 9pm for CNN since at least March, 1997 (I lack the data prior to that date)..

I saw a picture in our local paper of the evil bast*rd that kidnapped & r*ped a 4 year old girl here. This was one of our cases when I was on the grand jury. No one at our hospital could even do r*pe check because of her age . Someone trained to do the check had to come from Nashville. She is an adorable looking little girl. Brave too; she will testify. I’m glad he is no longer on the loose.
===============================
He needs to be put down like the rabid and deranged dog that he is. Keeping someone like this in jail represents terrible stewardship of taxpayers’ money.

“Iran attack decision nears, Israeli elite locks down”
Was reading this earlier. Not sure if this is hype. Very vague on what the lock down is.
Here is what to look for:
Senior leadership is unavailable for comment.
Senior military are called into a meeting.
Unknown numbers of aircraft conducting operations at night.
Little to no moon, May 17-23, Jun 16-21 (best bet is Jun 20th longest daylight northern Hem, they are southern hem, longest dark for them in the next few months.
Air sirens going off (will mean they have started attacking and about to in minutes.

“the Obama being born somewhere else junk”
I to think we got to stop this Birth thing. The only thing I see in that is instead of saying he was an american indian to get in and maybe grants he used what he could.
@USN
Little to no moon, May 17-23, Jun 16-21
Ditto.
And to make it even more suspenseful, now the Obama administration is about to announce something on Iran as well.
And it’s time they stop ALL the birther, Rev Write and petty stuff, it makes them look so stupid.
Obama must be going after the “guys in jail” vote now. Or he is just being proactive and has John Edwards back (no pun intended)
Justice: Prisons to step up anti-rape efforts
WASHINGTON—The White House on Thursday ordered federal, state and local prisons, jails and detention facilities to step up the fight against prison rape, issuing mandatory screening, enforcement and prevention regulations in hopes of reducing sexual victimization behind bars.
I’ll be back later tonight, have a bunch of errands to run
Keep the place clean and fun

@usnretirex2
I think that’s the same guy who wanted to do the Metrosexual African American spots. Weird thing is if you just do a little research you will see his daughter is a huge Obama supporter and he just recently pumped alot of cash into the Nebraska Republican senate race, which we saw the person he backed who is a far right tea party person win. The repercussions of that would be although it was Democrat Ben Nelson’s seat who is retiring, that seat was expected most likely to go Republican, by putting a far right candidate it sort of turns that seat into a tossup(I believe the Democrat running is a former Republican governor)
Not saying the guy is intentionally trying to screw over the Republicans, but if he was trying coming out with Ads like Rev Wright and funding people in primaries who have a greater chance to lose in the general election is one way to do it.
For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat
And suffer fewer heart attacks than
The English.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
And suffer fewer heart attacks than the English.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
And suffer fewer heart attacks than the English.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
And suffer fewer heart attacks than the English.
5.. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats
And suffer fewer heart attacks than the English.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

I wouldn’t read too much into it. Here’s an excerpt from Breitbart:

The anti-stuff has got to go. I am so glad I DVR the few shows I do watch.
As for “Weird thing is if you just do a little research you will see his daughter is a huge Obama supporter”
My kids are all over the place, Left, right, middle, to the far R or L outside and one “Who cares”. When they grew up we did not discuss politics other than issue. No one knew who I voted for and same went with my better half. We do not even tell or ask each other.

Chris was on fire last night. It became a rout way before Final Jeopardy. The other lady was a pretty blonde from BBC America.
I’ve got an idea on how MSNBC could increase the number of viewers. They should put a REAL window in their 3rd floor studio and hook-up big amplifiers to W49th St below.
Shouting out the window among the Rockefeller Center workers and tourists alike, with a bull—-horn, MSNBC would have a much bigger audience at street-level than they do running a cable channel.
I have seen Piers interviewing liberals and conservatives. With Conservatives
he pretends to be objective while spewing his hatred – with Liberals its all kiss As$ time smochie smochie smochie, Just a matter of time before he follows Keith OO.
