I'm flabbergasted by the SC decision. Their basically allowing one "person" to speak for thousands who have no say in in who their investments support -- nm - Guy Jan 21, 10:45 2
- Big businesses are more important than people. It's been that way for a long time. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 21, 10:47

Back to Kindle-talk briefly: My biggest gripe is with the cost of some titles. I saw one that was more expensive than the paperback version. Why?? - Fuzzy Jan 21, 10:44 1
- this, to me, seems like the biggest swindle in a loooong time. -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 10:46
So....STers who could host a late night show. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:43 8
- Anybody could. It's all about the guests anyway. -- nm - Loyola Jan 21, 10:46
- Clearly, Reagen would be host, and Dignan would be wisecracking sidekick, a la Conan and Andy. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:46
- I suppose I could spend an hour talking to myself. I doubt it would be as entertaining as Ferguson, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:46
- The Worst Damn Sports Show w/ musubi and crash. -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 10:45 1
  - Throw in David and I think you're got a recipe for success - musubi Jan 21, 10:47
- Amanda. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 21, 10:45
- Between Two Slurpees -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 10:45
- We can replace the West Coast Hour with the new talk show. -- nm - When in Dano Jan 21, 10:44

Anyone have a "GREAT" site for free birth-day e-cards that are funny? -- nm - JenBro Jan 21, 10:40 2
- i use someecards.com these days -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 10:42
- www.lenocheapshots.com -- nm - Jay Leno Jan 21, 10:40
Showing total disregard for what little credibility I have on TT: Seacrest may be a cheeseball, but he's prop a good fit for Talk Show Host. - musubi Jan 21, 10:37 21
- He actually probably would be good. If he tried to do the Tonight Show or somethig like it, he'd have trouble with the monologue. - Jim Jan 21, 10:43 1
  - To be fair, he wouldn't be writing it himself, he'd have help. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 10:50
- it may make him palatable to a network but it doesn't make him good quality -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 10:42 3
  - As we can see by Leno's success, quality doesn't necessarily equate to success. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:43 2
    - But Leno knows how to pander to the lowest common denominator ... Seacrest is above that. - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:44 1
      - Thank you for that IM, I was so confuzzled. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:45
- Didn't Whoopi Goldberg have a shot at it once? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 21, 10:41
- I thought his morning drive time radio show was nationally syndicated. Or is it just local? -- nm - con_carne Jan 21, 10:41 1
  - It's national. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 10:43
- if you're talking about The View, maybe, but not for late night. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 10:40
- man, you are full of wrong today -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 10:39
- disagree. he's a host, not a comedian. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:38 9
  - Thus, good talk show host. - musubi Jan 21, 10:38 8
    - Charlie Rose's monologue is not funny at all. -- nm - When in Dano Jan 21, 10:40 2
      - says you. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:43
      - Heh. Exactly. So long as Seacrest knows to not try to follow the comedic formula, I can see him carving a niche as a Talk Show Host. - musubi Jan 21, 10:42
    - I saw his talk show. it was meh. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:40 3
      - Later with Bob Costas was great. - musubi Jan 21, 10:41 2
        
        Word. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:45
        
        it was terrific. I still think about some things from it, and miss it. -- nm - b. Jan 21, 10:44
    - Joe Buck! -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 10:39
Ferguson was great as Confidence on Red Dwarf -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:36
Damn. This makes me want to blow sh*t up! Where do I sign up? -- (link) - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 10:31 [youtube] 14
- Needs more Linkin Park. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:47
- If I was a US citizen, I'd totally sign up for a few years. -- nm - Loyola Jan 21, 10:43
- They sure do a number on that family's house. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 10:39
- The music is a rip off of something too. - Mel Profit Jan 21, 10:35 1
  - Carmina Burana. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:35
- [deleted] 8
  - Isn't it the Army National Guard? (I haven't watched the video.) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 10:37 1
    - there's both Army and Air National Guard in every state and territyory. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:37
  - I don't understand. Did I say they were? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 10:34
  - Explain that to the Army NG folks deployed in Iraq. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:33 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - the Guard wears two hats (as they put it). -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:37
      - I think Mop's comment was more about the video than the actual job of the National Guard -- nm - Guigue Jan 21, 10:37 1
        
        I worked with the NG for several years and it's not inaccurate. They go into combat like other soldiers. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:39
I need one more music list from you guys: Name acts that don't have a single lead singer - prayformojo Jan 21, 10:30 54

- BNL. -- nm - Diva Jan 21, 10:44
- I love that people are still saying The Beatles when it was his first example. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:43 1
  - in my defense...I usually ignore IM's :) -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 10:45

  - doesn't Crucifictorious share vocals as well? -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 10:43 3
    - I thought it was just Lance. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:45 2

Mark my words! In 2012, we'll have candidates sponsored by corporations with NASCAR style campaign buses and clothing! - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 10:27
By the way. The fact that Ferguson has mostly stayed away from the topic is just another reason why he's the best in the biz right now. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:26 36
- If you count constantly saying that he's steering clear from it as actually steering clear from it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:29 10
  - He spends what...20 seconds of his monologue on it? If even that. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:32 8
    - when I watched the other night he made multiple jokes throughout the show. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:36 5
      - Last night's monologue had about 20 seconds of NBC jokes. 40 seconds of Ivana Trump naked jokes. And 2.5 to 3 minutes of Penguin Awareness Day. - Jim Jan 21, 10:45
      - Letterman spent so long bitching about Jay on tuesday's show that he had to cancel the top ten list AND the musical guest -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:37 3
        
        "less than Letterman" is not "steering clear". -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:38 1
        
        Look, here's the ranking of people discussing the subject ... - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:41
        
        This argument is approaching not liking the font levels of overkill -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:38
    - [deleted] 1
      - Word. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:33
  - Yeah, he hasn't really steered clear. Just hasn't go involved the way Kimmel and Letterman have. Which is smart on his part. - musubi Jan 21, 10:30
- That has nothing to do with why he's the best in the biz, or else that shine rubs off on Jimmy Fallon too. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:27
- Cuz now he knows there's 2 jobs opening up in a few years and he's in like Flynn. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:27 14
  - Something radical would have to happen for him not to wait for Letterman's job. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:28
  - Nah. I think he'll take over Letterman's show when Dave finishes up. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:27 12
    - What makes us think that late night shows won't wrap themselves up somewhat in this decade? - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 10:29 3
      - they're exceedingly cheap to produce and draw better than syndicated stuff. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:31 2
        
        My hunch is that teh audiance continues to drop until it reaches a breaking point and falls off a cliff. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 10:33
        
        And provide a way for corps to promote product on the cheap. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:33
    - yes. Dave is his boss (literally). -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:28
    - Yeah....then it'll be Conan, him and Fallon. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:28 6
      - Don't rule out Seacrest. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:29 5

        So that's what the cold chill of death feels like. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:29
- I have such a crush on him. - Callisto Jan 21, 10:27 8
  - me too. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:29
  - I've loved him since his Drew Carey days as Mr Wick. -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 10:28 6
    - I liked him then, but didn't have a crush on him. -- nm - Callisto Jan 21, 10:34
    - ditto...we should have known. - Mel Profit Jan 21, 10:32
    - This is what's weird. I *HATED* him on Carey's show. Couldn't believe it when they gave him a talk show. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:28 3
      - I thought it was an odd choice, but I did think he was funny. - Reagen Jan 21, 10:30 1
        
        Yup. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:31
      - *nods* -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 10:29
a comedian being unfunny is a far worse sin than crossing any imaginary ethical "line" -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 10:25 3

Can't we all just agree that Leno is a jackass for many, many reasons? -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 10:25 4
- Sure. Just not for this one lame joke. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:26
- Yeah, this didn't fundamentally change my opinion of him. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:26 2
  - I knew the Leno Show experiment would fail. I hope Tonight Show with Jay Leno 2 also fails. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:28 1
    - Me too. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 10:30
Word. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:25
Comics today: Realm of Kings: Inhumans (awesome last page), Nova. -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 10:25
