Hi Kimberly,
Read this blog consistently and you will see that both sides have their share of haters. Happy Thanksgiving all.
*****HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE*****
Enjoy a safe and happy one, and God Bless
Peace & Grace to All
@hillbilly
thank you for the video it was popular in early 1966.I was not born in 1966 I think it was the best year for music. btw my birthday is next thuursday.
kimberly posted…Oh and MSNBC is available in 5 million less homes than Fox News, so the fact that it’s so close tells you something right there.

yeah a bit of an exaggeration kim.

I just started reading these boards, and I don’t watch Fox News. Obama is doing a fine job as president, just some of his followers (YOU) ruin it for the rest of us. One’s preferred news channel does not determine their intelligence level.
———————————–
Finally a lefty with some common sense.
Well I guess it is time to get busy! No turkey for me (I will save it for the smoker)I am making myself a small Prime Rib roast but I have stuffing in the oven(gotta have stuffing)a green bean casserole and some mashed spuds!
Enjoy all and maybe BBL!
@ratboy
I can hardly wait to see coffee steve in a clown suit. lol
Mark – I am taking a guess when the cable news networks sell ads, companies targeting people in that age range are the ones buying(ie viagara, insurance, trips, retirement) hence why that specific demo is collected.
——————————-
Sounds reasonable to me.
This site had a article on ad rates & what some of the broadcast shows get for a 30 second spot. I didn’t see any cable news or regular cable rates. 25-54 is probably the key demo for cable news, but i think the 35-64 factors in also. I just can’t see Nielsen counting them for no reason.
Sicilian Papa – We have some time now before they start campaigning for Dems.

To late! Some already have. Letterman was praising Biden on how good he looks for being over 70.

Hillbilly, a couple of days ago it was rather silent on this site so i was going to play that same song, different version, but got sidetracked and didn’t.
————————–
1966 is always posting songs for folks. Nobody every post one for him.
So i decided i would.

His opinions are his facts. Sound familiar?
Kimberly – Oh and MSNBC is available in 5 million less homes than Fox News, so the fact that it’s so close tells you something right there.

Yes it does. You don’t read the site your on.

Hey now, a couple days ago i posted a song @ 1966…he thanked me so i guess he didn’t hate it. It was a cover of “Country Road” by a band called “Me First & the Gimme Gimmes”.
Happy Thanksgiving.
