Um, I think you meant Tuesday, August 7th.
You know what I hate? People who insert “um” before a comment. IT’S SO TIRED!
Hi D.D,
The best option most teachers in Chicago agreed with was to raise the percentage of pension they contribute. However, with that said, even that won’t wipe away the debt both the politicians in Illinois help to create and the market crash. Even with MA teachers shouldering the entire costs of their pensions and the added social secuity a state collects off teachers we can’t collect, won’t solve the problem. A large portion of money we paid into the system went up in smoke when the market crashed.
Oh Chris…you came SO CLOSE to beating Shep in the demos. I predicted before the Olympics(tm) that Chris would average ONE MILL-YUN viewers for the single showing of “Hardball”, but it didn’t happen. Close though.

I get a thrill up my leg when I read your posts.
Your predictions have been pretty good!
@where’s tony?
It looks like MSNBC hasn’t been able to convince any viewers of Olympics to stay for ‘Politics Nation’.
twins fan asked: “where’s tony?”
There seem to be two commenters named ‘Tony’. One of them uses gravatar.
If MessNBC can’t get ONE FREAKING MILLION with The Olympics inserted between every lame brained commentator, they never will…. Hey, add all THE LOSERS together and they come close to FOX, every hour…..
@apple stinx
lol the tony without the gravatar.
Don’t those walking jokes at MSNBC realize that half the views they are getting are from moderates and conservatives, who only tune in because MSDNC is now the new Comedy Channel, especially since the Comedy Channel has been moving further and further away from comedy?
I don’t see many obama bumper stickers…
They sure would be a help evaluating auto accidents….
You could tell if you should call 911 or the WH….
Were all the cars that bore them traded in during cash for clunkers program ?
I need to have my hearing checked. I thought I heard Shep Smith say that singer Randy Travis was found nekkid.
Well Mitt and his campaign certainly in trouble after today’s remarks. I think Rush and Eric Ericson said it best.
Rush-The Democrats accuse you of murdering a woman, and your response is she would not of died of she lives in Massechusettes.
Ericson- I think we just lost the election today.
Lived* in Mass.
@Jeff
Calm Down about Romney! You’ll start burping
@AppleStinx
I’ve met Randy Travis 3 times, trust me, you DON’T want to see him nekkid
Steven Segal shot him(Randy Travis) in the head, in the movie Fire Down Below. Travis had a small part as villain. One of Segal’s better movies. In my opinion.

Nancy Pelosi ‘Swears’ Spirit of Susan B. Anthony Spoke to Her in White House
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) told a recent gathering of the Women’s Political Committee that the spirits of suffragists Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul spoke to her at the White House.
Pelosi said she heard them say: “At last we have a seat at the table”.
A video recently posted on Youtube shows Pelosi speaking in May describing her first meeting with President Bush in the White House after becoming part of the Democratic House leadership.
In the video Pelosi says, “He’s (Bush) saying something to the effect of we’re so glad to welcome you here, congratulations and I know you’ll probably have some different things to say about what is going on–which is correct. But, as he was saying this, he was fading and this other thing was happening to me.”
“My chair was getting crowded in,” said Pelosi. “I swear this happened, never happened before, it never happened since.
“My chair was getting crowded in and I couldn’t figure out what it was, it was like this,” she said.
“And then I realized Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul, Sojourner Truth, you name it, they were all in that chair, they were,” said Pelosi. “More than I named and I could hear them say: ‘At last we have a seat at the table.’ And then they were gone.”
