    - Oh I totally agree - he's wrong & likely knows it and likes the attention. - Epiphany Mar 4, 09:26 4
      - I like that attitude. It just gets right down to brass tacks. Sometimes you simply have to check a bitch. - Diva Mar 4, 09:29 1
        
        word -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 09:31
      - It's how a lot of Lifetime movies start out. Not that I've seen any of them, but...... -- nm - CQ Mar 4, 09:28 1

- One of my favorite things right now is Consumer Reports' running feud with Ford MyTouch. - David Mar 4, 09:04 9

After reading this, I may need to watch the Romney interview. He just doesn't get it. -- (link) - MDH Mar 4, 08:49 23

        I'll say what we're all thinking: Sally Field was *terrible* in Lincoln. -- nm - David Mar 4, 09:19 3
        
        You call that a slam? -- nm - The Onion Mar 4, 09:21

      - It sounds like an excellent night. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 4, 09:04
