You guys are the ones calling us names. UM, HELLLOOOO???? Pot-Kettle-BiRacial :roll: I weep for America, too. We've just elected our first Marxist president. Calling a Marxist a Marxist isn't a name. It's a description of his political beliefs. If I said, "We just elected our first Marxist a**...

That goes a little bit against the interview I watched last week with Brian Moore. Moore said that Obama was definately NOT Socialist, and that he (Moore) would never vote for Obama. Good for him. Unfortunately, that doesn't negate all that Obama has done or said. mikemck: Please start your own thr...

Ralph Nader (remember HIM) told one of the Fox News anchors (his name escapes me for the moment) that Barack Obama must decide if he's going to be "Uncle Sam" or "Uncle Tom." :o And they say President Bush is divisive. This should bury Ralph's dumb a$$ once and for all. Unfortun...

I hope I'm not speaking too early here, but so far, there have been no reports of rioting ... I've seen celebrations in Student Union Buildings and churches, but no rioting ... maybe we've rounded that corner, too. 'Night all. I just watched a middle-aged white man in the middle of a crowd, with te...

The music was an important part of the music...Elton John's Tiny Dance is used throughout one episode, with the Russian defector and Bailey Quarters. That's actually my favorite episode. "[spoken in thick Russian accent] Hold me closer...tiny dancer" has become a favorite joke in our hous...

As an aside, DVD release of "WKRP" was delayed for years because of music licensing issues. The show used a lot of snippets of popular songs, and those licenses ran out after about ten years. The DVD release has generic music dubbed in (such as when Dr. Johnny Fever played "The Long ...

Love Buffett's music but, sorry, I need a better reason to vote for somebody than because a singer I like is voting for them.

I think I've made my mind up and am going to vote for Chuck Baldwin on Tuesday.

Obviously, I know he isn't going to win, but I can't go on saying that Republicans and conservatives must stand on principle if I'm not willing to do it, myself.

Did anybody watch the festivities on 6ABC??? Did you hear what Chase Utley said on LIVE tv???? :o :o :o I watched it on Comcast and even Michael Barkan made a comment about it not being a good thing to say. Passion is one thing but when you're a role model to so many children, there's really no exc...

Just have to say "WOW" . Was at the game last night and it was unbelievable. Have never felt that much energy from people in the stands like that. I was at WS games in 1980 and 1983 in Philly and last nite was way above the other two games I was at ..... even though it was only 3 innings,...

I met him briefly when he was filming the movie "Jersey Girl" at the police station next door to the post office where my sister was a supervisor. He was a little rude. Ironically, it was George Carlin, who always seemed so angry, who was very polite and took time to talk to every body. Ge...

I don't know yet. I keep hoping some viable 3rd party candidate is going to jump out of the bushes at the last minute. The one thing I do know is that I won't vote for Lord Barry. I don't like having to vote for the lesser of two evils because the lesser of two evils is still evil, but at this point...

If that game had to be postponed any longer, there may have been the chance where the Phillies, Eagles, 76ers, and Flyers could all be playing at home on the same day. I wonder if THAT'S ever happened before. :lol: Yes. I used to volunteer as a parking lot guy down there to get free tickets. Back i...

When they went up into the stands to celebrate with the fans, that was just too cool.

Second best memory of the night was Harry singing "High Hopes".
