Great read, seems there may be some truth…
The Democratic National Convention last week provided an opportunity for MSNBC to introduce themselves to a wider audience. And that they did.
*******************************
What? So was MSNBC introduced by Obama at the convention? Introduce themselves to a wider audience? How do you do that when only current viewers even know you’re are on? That means, since Fox covered BOTH conventions, that they introduced them to a wider audience…that why O’Rielly is up a million viewers?
@S Papa
THANK YOU (I think) LOL
@
Stan T.
He knew how much the debt was in 08 when he was running against Bush. Maybe we can find the video and remind him. I saw the Letterman interview and thought wow he’s got amnesia.
@ Sicilian Papa ,
“I have screenplay called “Pleasure Field” that I think you would like. I have some interest in the project. I am not trying to solicit your help just making conversation.”
No worries , I read screenplays all the time. You can send it to me, my email is arikkail@yahoo.com
The big studios unfortunately only interested in making money that’s why every movie out there is a sequel or a remake of a successful movie from the past.
That’s why I quit my job in 2006 and started my own independent studio hoping that I’ll produce the next Titanic ( revenue wise ) but the whole thing collapsed during the financial crisis and I found myself sleeping on my friend’s couch.
Now I’m restarting the whole thing over again. Hopefully it’ll be a success this time.
Obama says debt is short term problem–not a problem for next 50 or so days.
SP–good one about Coffee and the mask–did his wife tell you that?
Just teasing Coffee, I am sure you are Clooney like( looks wise, not politics).
Sam, hope it is a success for you. My son is starting his own business also. Alot of work and trepidation. Hang in there. If it succeeds, I am sure you will have built that!! Sorry, couldn’t help myself, had to get political.

@ Gabriel ,
“They’re great as long as you’re not drawing a picture called “the prophet” on a piece of paper. That’s an offense worthy of decapitation.”
As a person who have been to the Muslim world, I believe that they let the crazies over there to get loudest voice. The crazies are generally rewarded unfortunately even in our culture; crazies like Beck, Rush and Pat Robertson who get millions of followers are also motivating the radicals here as well. In the Muslim world a lot of the most famous “celebrities” in TV are radical clerics.
********************************************
That’s funny…it’s not the Tea Party that are the crazy radicals…it’s the OWS who are the crazy, loud, obnoxious, who look the most like the protestors in the middle-east right now…just look at the protestors in Egypt, dont let them wash, put them in dirty clothes, and they look exactly the same. Even the signs they hold up say the same stuff.
@
Sam
I’ll send you the treatment. You can read it in a few minutes. I had an independent wealthy guy who wanted to fund the project. His real estate company took a big hit in 08. He still has money but he can’t fund a movie.

@Sicilian Papa … “Deficits don’t matter.” — Dick Cheney.
Hahahahaha.
*******************************
You hate that Dick Cheney said that, though I’d bet if I looked, I’d bet you took him out of context, as you always do…but then you think it’s fine for Obama to say the same thing, not taken out of context?
HAHAHAHAHHA… hypocrit
SP, you hang in there too. If Obama goes then Romney will get the gov’t off the small business man’s back and the creative juices can be successful again. Just remember us little guys when you make it big and don’t even let Jeffie know your name or he will say you came to a “catered pool party” at his house.
Anthony, you still around? Don’t stop posting please. It gives me hope to know there are a few reasonable democrats out there.
The election is OVER
If Obama wins Nancy Pelosi says she will persoanlly kiss every person that votes for Obama
President Romney says thank you
@
DB
Oh no if I make it big I’m going top party with Jeff. I would love to have you come along it would the title of my next movie “Murder in the Hollywood Hills.”
SP, coffee, Stan, where did all the radical lefties go? They wanted us here, we came and they left. I am sure they are busy getting informed by media matters. huffington post and will come swarming back with nonfactual facts, innuendo, bush and romeny bashing, four letter words and just all kinds of cleverness. I miss them!!

*********************************
But didn’t he just read it off the during a speech? Just because his teleprompter knows, doesn’t mean Obama has any idea…even with a teleprompter, obama said thier were 57 states, so how smart can he be? Even a 5th grader knows there are 50 states…you’d think with Obama going to the best private school in Hawaii, he would have learned something…
Good one SP and I would be happy to come. Wouldn’t be a murder though, I am 6’6″ and weigh about 260. Jeffie would be gone in his Bentley as soon as I walked in. Don’t tell him I am pretty much nonviolent unless someone uses the F word in an insulting way. It would be fun. Maybe he wouldn’t be so bad in person. And maybe Obama isn’t a narcissist.
I need sleep. These three day work weeks are a killer. Post ya later.
Coffee, or your George Clooney like looks that has them intimidated. Yeah, thats the ticket!!
