Heck Coffee Dude! You could be a FULL time pastor here on this site cuz it looks like there is a lot of savin to do!!!
Question For Apple, do you think Son of Coffee is de-caf?
@1966
Nice one. What do you think of the son’s teachings? Were they religous or perhaps philosophical in nature?
If you think they were religious, we need to have a serious talk with Son of Coffee. Either way it’s evident that, after all, they had no effect on Dusty – who I absolutely loved.

I’d say decaf Kopi Luwak, you know, because it’s kind of gourmet coffee…
<Taking my joker’s hat off>
Bill O only cable news show on the list.
AppleStinx’s link (page 1) is dead/don’t work.
AppleStinx – That would be John Paul Jones, who has a sense of humour but is the least colorful or talkative of the three IMO.

I thought he was the best of the three. I can see Letterman asking him a one minute question, then JPJ answering it with one or two words.
One guy said we put John Paul Jones beside you. Letterman said “yea thanks!”

Why don’t you include CURRENT TV in your cable news rating?

Last i heard they don’t subscribe to the Nielsen ratings. At least not the ones this site gets. They might get some private ones.

I think the real reason Romney lost his bid for presidency is that he said,
” When I’m elected, I will put Americans back to work “; and 51% said, “Screw That!!”

Off tomorrow so I decided to stay up and watch the MSNBC shows (have watched them time and time again). The big difference between them and Fox were threes things. First, each Fox show has there own theme/thing. MSNBC beats the dead horse. Two, while Fox is right wing biased it still reports on world events in editorial shows. MSNBC only reports on world events if Israel is involved/a flashback to Bush. Third, while again Fox is biased and can get annoying they have a legitimate variety of stories in all programs. MSNBC literally blames, bashes, and libels Republicans over and over again as if they are presenting facts. Maddow’s replacement tonight said Republicans passed a “doomsday” bill in congress(2005) to protect its members incase of a bad event. They parlayed this to them being idiots and believing the Mayan calendar. (If they checked facts they would see Dems had control in 2005 in the house)
Bring on the hate !
