FIRST? Man Fox News killed everyone big time!
HLN beat CNN morning programs. That has got to be a low point for Soledad O’Brian…
You beat me because I well telling everyone else.
@TZCA
Both Marks very rarely reply back to me when I provide them with data. If they do it will be an obscure comment or very general like Mark did.
PS, being somewhat new to the Post, most here knows I took a 90K+ pay cut just so I would be well away from that Obama numbers that seems to float around.
Now that I am no longer employed there I was the Production Manager for GDLS / Force Protection building these

looks like MSDNC experianced the normal Friday drop but FOX didnt get that memo and rung em up!!
Brett did pretty darn good for a 10 pm Friday special!! and Hannity is still on it BIG time!
Rachel is the only one on MSDNC that is close to a threat in the key. That poor station is in serious trouble!
Early Start/Starting Point still under 200.

You noticed that too?? Mark2 is the one, he post some bat crazy stuff and then when his post is shot to heck by me and everyone else he goes mute while he looks for his next bat crazy post!
(he might just be busy crunching the numbers for the electoral map though
)
@usnretiredx2
Very neat
A rep from General Dynamics was one of about thirty in my senior project EE presentation back 2005. I had not dummy proofed the battery connections for my project and hooked up the batteries backwards about 15 minutes before the presentation, frying a few power MOSFETs. My project team mates weren’t too happy
After twenty minutes of slide shows of what we’d done and where we’d failed, the General Dynamics rep said “So, I’ve seen alot of what you didn’t accomplish, what can you tell us about what you did accomplish?”
I just stood there with my jaw dropped (literally speaking).
@usnretiredx2 and @Ratboy
In reading past posts, it seems to me that Mark (not Mark2) tries to approach certain issues objectively, though he is left-leaning and doesn’t hide it. I was taken aback by the taxes going to city or state comment.
FOX News be killing these other news channels. I see the Republicans don’t do anything but watch news all day.

Early start is a non-start. 58K in key demo. Time to cancel and start over. Maybe they could borrow the prison shows from MSNBC.
@Ratboy: Both Sean and Brett’s Friday night programs were excellent.

@Ratboy: Both Sean and Brett’s Friday night programs were excellent.
I missed both of them but i heard that Brett was good. d.d. said that Brett did a good job but she did not learn any real new info.
WOW! my Bears are playing the Lions tonight at the same time of the debate!
thank God for smart phones so I can keep track of the game!
@
TZCA
I read your post and I found it enlightening. I didn’t understand it but it was fascinating. Know wonder I’m poor.
@usnretiredx2
I take that back. I pulled up my electronic records of attendance at the project. The one who remarked was from General Mills (LOL, big difference), though there was a rep from General Dynamics in the group as well (also from competitors Raytheon and Lockheed Martin).

That is a rude thing to say you meanie.
She should go up against Eva Longoria for the classiest woman award!
Cher: ‘I’m Praying Obama Kicks Mittens Ass 2 the Curb!’
Cher went on another anti-Mitt Romney Twitter rant Monday hours before the last presidential debate.
She began, “Tonight is final debate & I’m praying Obama Kicks mittens ass 2 the curb!”
@Early start is a non-start. 58K in key demo. Time to cancel and start over. Maybe they could borrow the prison shows from MSNB
LOL–I think they would get better numbers. MHOO–if they would get rid of obrien they would see better results. Al Sharpton race baiting seems to work on MSNBC but not on CNN.
