Morning All
Morning all, Big Ben I totally agree with your post. Thr money would be better spent equalizing the messaging agents not changing conservative values. Wonder what is happening with the new network Sicilian Pappa mentioned earlier?
Coffee how are you doing after the dental visit?
Oops sorry about double good morning
Thr^the
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood Morning!
A very light dusting of snow overnight. Ok, thats enough now, lets bring summer back!
Wel I guess government DOES create jobs…………….well at least the government under King Obama!
You may have noticed some economic difficulties across the country in recent years among family, friends, neighbors, colleagues. One sector is doing quite nicely, however, under Barack Hussein Obama.
In the 1,420 days since he took the oath of office, the federal government has daily hired on average 101 new employees. Every day. Seven days a week. All 202 weeks. That makes 143,000 more federal workers than when Obama talked forever on that cold day in January of 2009.
Under Obama the total federal workforce has surpassed two million for the first time since the first Clinton term, now sitting about the 2.2 ,million level.
Good morning Letmethink.
Sicilian Pappa has posted several times about needing a fourth network. Did he actually say there was one in the works?
I haven’t been able to make sense of what he was saying. There are three main non-subscriber networks: ABC, CBS, NBC. But there are multiple subscriber networks: CNN, MSNBC, FOX, HLN, and there is the newer CurrentTV.
I always enjoyed Sicilian Pappa’s rants which concluded with “that media is a nice poodle to own.”
Hiya Ratboy, good morning.
@TZCA–Yes SP is one of my favorite posters. Glad he has found someone and is happy but miss his posts–particularly the one you mentioned. I believe he meant a new non-suscriber network.
Morning Ratboy—I am with you–ready for summer or even spring–which usually lasts for one day here in Texas–
@Letmethink
Yeah, I’m glad he found someone, too. I hope it works out for him.
I supposed he was talking about a non-subscriber network, but his context sometimes confused me.
I miss the posts of dd and Sunshine also. Maybe after the first of the year they will be back. I haven’t had much time to post either. In fact just about to leave for the day.
Have a great one all.
Oh by the way–Early Start/Starting Point broke 200. I am really curious as to what new management will do with that program. My bet is that it goes even further left to compete with msnbc.
Just to be clear, everything that RedBarSoap was arguing about—the poll that he was clinging so loyally to—WAS A TOTAL HOAX!!! It was all over the Internet yesterday. Tons of liberal sites fell for it. Here is the story for everyone to read:

So let the cards fall where they may….

Diamond Dave,
But, but, but ….
RedBarSoup posted the information, like 50 times. We are all, like, ignorant. There is nothing RedBarSoup can do for us as we insist on floundering about in our fantasy bubble and just couldn’t accept the ‘facts’ he presented to us.
Thanks for the link. It was good reading.
Letmethink – Oh by the way–Early Start/Starting Point broke 200. I am really curious as to what new management will do with that program. My bet is that it goes even further left to compete with msnbc.
There is a report that Zucker is thinking about moving Erin Burnett to the morning slot and pairing her up with a male co-host to compete with the other morning shows. There was no indication on what they were going to do with Solidad Obrien. They may have Obrien, Burnett and a male co-host.
@ Letmethink
I just posted a long post and (pooooooof) lost it.
I do read but don’t post much. I can’t handle in your face winners as much as I can’t handle sore losers. I explained and told a story about my Canadian city in lockdown yesterday because of the Messiah’s visit to Detroit. Lots of lost revenues.
I also miss reading dd’s posts.
I have seen where other lefty posters believe some of us have crawled under a rock after losing the election.
Not so but I must say I will patiently wait for the buyers remorse to set in.
To those who voted for B O with all the success he had in his first term all I can say is you deserve what you get.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and best wishes to those who celebrate other things during this season.
HOLIDAY HUGS from sunshine
SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!! I bet you had a good laugh a couple weeks ago as you peeked through the windows watching me crawl around the house on my hands and knees when I messed up my back!
I have not been around as much either between the back thing and trying to close a bunch of projects out by the end of the year plus tryingto post anything intelligent when the loons are on the lake is almost impossible!
You better keep on peeking in!

That’s one common unintended consequence of being hit in the eye with a big pizza-pie: the brain turns to mozzarella.
Thanks AppleStinx
A Lady-and-the-Tramp tune always help to lighten up the day
Republican campaign consultant Scott Tranter appeared on a panel Monday hosted by the Pew Center on the States to discuss the long lines and voter ID controversies that plagued the 2012 election. In his comments, Tranter seemed to imply that he believed these issues were helpful to Republicans and should be pursued for that reason.
“A lot of us are campaign officials — or campaign professionals — and we want to do everything we can to help our side. Sometimes we think that’s voter ID, sometimes we think that’s longer lines — whatever it may be,” Tranter said with a laugh.
Tranter owns Vlytics, a company that was paid more than $3,000 by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign for “data consulting.”
Boy, RedBarSoup sure changed the subject really quickly didn’t he…what a moron…
