1. Blonde college girls better be careful

It is time for one of them to go missing so the cable news channels can go 24/7 on that important story.

4. Yeah. And don't forget Cheney's a-fib.

Don't listen to them poo-poo that, it can be serious.

5. It makes news among other items...

I don't expect them to be economy and debate constantly. They've discussed other newsworthy items as well.

7. Discussing it is one thing, to call it breaking news and put it in heavy rotation is another. . .

10. I understand and I don't mind it...

but I do think they should focus on wars, Darfur and other human suffering as well. At least spend as much time on those that they would on Nancy.

9. Let me add...I think there are other items that should be news as well...

Darfur, Iraq and Afghanistan wars, along with the suffering of humanity and how best to ease it.

15. Eh, what more to say about the stock market?

It's always there on the ticker, or on the front page of the website.

Any speculation about why it's DOWN today would just be blowing smoke out their arses.

Reagan's pelvis is worthy of note, but I don't have teevee, so I don't know if they have helicopters above the hospital or what.

I'd like more coverage of Troopergate, Keating 5, etc.

17. I could care less but she is the wife of the most popular two-term GOP president in modern history.

I'm sure if Hillary Clinton were to break her pelvis someday, it will be breaking news, too -- no matter what is going on that day
in America.
