It doesn't help...
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...that the only time I see clips (I am not going to a Clinton rally anytime in the forseeable future) of Chelsea on the political shows, she has that look that I have when being guilted (by my mother - big surprise) into going to some lame family function: I'm here, but don't expect me to jump up and down while screaming "Wooo!" It does seem like she's at her mom's events to please her mom (and spend time with her - Hill's got alot on her plate right now)... I could be wrong - I'd like to hear her speak eventually...
And, I'm sorry old folks, but "pimp" does not immediately carry a prostitution connotation in the lexicon these days - despite what Shuster's intention was. It should also be noted that Shuster was filling in for Tucker Carlson, who wouldn't think twice about making a joke about a threesome between Hill, Bill and Chelsea if it would help him make his "point"!

You can't be tough AND take offense to something some talking head said. You can't have it both ways. Especially when it seems to be just another way for you to appeal to a certain set of the electorate.
Where was HRC when Limbaugh called Chelsea "the family dog" (you know, back when Chelsea was still a kid)? Another "crying moment", dare I say?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Call me simple, but the universal truths of boys never change:
1. Legos
2: Dinosaurs
3: Cars
4: Guns
The names may change. The actual products mutate and recess. But its always constant.
And can I just say, TV-wise, what a god send "Boomerang" is! Non-stop reruns of old "Tom and Jerry" and Tex Avery shorts that just get better and better the older I get! Its my son and I's new pre-tuck ritual.
No cable? What's wrong with you, man? You'll find twice as many commercials on Broadcast. Some channels, Nickelodeon most notably, group the entire show into a 20-minute bulk and show the commercials AFTER. My 3-year-old already knows that the credit roll means: "End of Show" and will get up and turn it off himself. Disney Channel pre-K stuff also follows this format. Guess they figure the marketing only works when a kid can accurately articulate what they want to the parents, so why push it and tick off the parents early on...

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"If an hour-long program is repeated as a network broadcast, the writer receives a $20,000 residual payment.."
If I want to receive $20,000 extra dollars, I have to work another 4 months - every day - for at least 8 hours. So, um, a little perspective please...

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Kroft shows also affected my subconscious as a 70s youth: I vividly remember VERY bad dreams about the opening sequence of Lidsville (falling into a dark, bottomless hat) and the Sleestaks of "Land of the Lost". Those huge black eyes were scarier than most things that passed for horror in the years following.
I also have to agree with other parents about the state of childrens shows today - at least the Pre-K stuff. I mean, give the kid(s) a break! The whole Blue/Dora/Diego/(new)Pooh/(new)Mickey type of show where the kids are "engaged" to help in solving some sort of problem/mystery just grates on me after a while. My kid seems to like it, but like some other poster mentioned, he never laughs at it!
I thank Boomerang and Tom & Jerry for my first experience of hearing my kid laugh while watching cartoons! I mean - they're kids! They need to laugh - not to be constantly "learning"!

Worked pretty good for Dubya. Pelosi's daughter did a documentary on it...
Oh, that's right, the MSM totally questioned what the Bush admin. said leading up to the invasion of Iraq. No "eternal love" there. At least not the "eternal" part...

I'm sad.
Is Congress bored? I guess they need to get this out of their system, because if Obama wins in November, his new AG and bullet-proof Congressional majority will be prosecuting the former Pres. and VP for crimes against humanity. That might take a few other things off the docket.
As for Yao: yes, you could see it coming, just not exactly when. Let this be a warning to Portland - you might want to see what you can get for Oden RIGHT NOW...

Since his rigged senate election in 2004, in which his G.O.P. challenger was replaced with an unknown African American bible thumper..
OK?
1. The GOP challenger, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race after it had been revealed that he (allegedly) took his wife, actress Jeri Ryan (known mostly for her roll on the Star Trek Voyager series), to sex clubs (on more than one occasion) and tried to get her to have sex with him in public. This information was obtained through a request by the Chicago Tribune, not by Obama. Ryan withdrew 3 days later after calls from the likes of Dennis Hastert (then Speaker of the House and apparently, a secret Obama supporter) to withdraw.
2. Alan Keyes, the Illinois GOP's handpicked replacement, was a Presidential Candidate in 2000 (he was the Black one), and is hardly "unknown". Keyes best line in his ill-fated replacement-candidacy was that "Jesus Christ would not vote for Barack Obama". He lost 27% to 70%.
Get your facts straight if you want anyone to take you seriously. I doubt you do.
