I can not stand Tara Wall (repulican strategist)!!!!
It's not because she is a Black or a Repub (personally can't stand Carville, or Hilary Rosen that much) . What I can't stand is that whenever she speaks it's alway with this very unbecoming smirk. Particularly when she is saying some Republican talking points.
Ugggghhhh!!!

You know what bothers me about Tara and her ilk?
It's not like they're representing anyone? If they were on tv at the level that they're actually in the Black community, we wouldn't see ANY of them.

I live in Dallas, and I don't know if Air America in on here. Plus, I word early morning to the afternoon, so I rarely have time to listen to the radio (besides which, I only have a clock radio in my bedroon).
At my job, while there are a number of Democrats, it's a hospital, so I don't usually listen to talk radio, unless it's one of those top 40 types. I usually listen to my IPOD.
I really only watch TV from 5: 30 to 6:30am, I TIVO most of the shows I did watch

There is an Air America affiliate in Dallas, and it's an AM station, KMNY AM 1360. It's the only one in Texas.
This is their website, Rational Radio.
They have two brothers in their line-up, Jack Bishop and Tunde Obazee, along with Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes and Thom Hartmann, who is really, I think, deep.
Get yourself a CD player with AM/FM radio; or do you still have one? You can get a little stereo radio with headphones....for less than $20

So I've decided to give up on political news shows. It's time to ween myself off of them.
No more MSNBC, Morning Joe, or Situation Room. Gonna just get my news from online, and JJP.
The sad part is I actually like to watch the shows, but they get so stupid sometimes. I can't stand it. Like MSNBC, I like Olbermann, but sometimes he can be too much. Morning Joe when Scar is not on, is actually okay, and I actually like the Situation Room, but Ed Henry just irritates me. The best thing about CNN, is Cafferty and Jeannie Moost.
Anyway, is there any other news programs that ya'll recommend that just gives the straight news. I beginning to really like BBC America, but of course, it really just news from the world with an "American" twist.
I hear PBS, has good shows??

I have found that it's sometimes better not to watch tube in the morning, but listen to the radio.
There's PBS' Morning Edition.
Me, I listen to the line-up at my local Air America station. I listen to Stephanie Miller until 11, and then listen to Ed Schultz between 11 and 2. Stephanie has her Mooks, and has a Friday show with two black sistas, Frangela, who are comedians. Stephanie is based in LA. Steph is popular among some folks because she plays some real good Seventies and Eighties soul and disco in between talk.
Ed Schultz, of course, comes out of Fargo. A few black folks have called into his shows. He's a gun-toting, labor-loving liberal talk show host.
I don't know where you live, but you also might try streaming these shows.
BBC America is good, but I would rather get the real deal from the Brtis. One of these days, we're going to have to listen to the real BBC and al Jazeera in English on the cable line-up.

Democracy Now is good. Really any source that isn't so Western dominated is a breath of fresh air.

I just wondered if ya'll noticed what I noticed last night. I was watching some of the coverage, and my TV some how got turned to O'Reilly, and he was calling President Obama, Barack Obama. Ya know, "Let's talk about Barack Obama's speech", or "So what did you think of Barack Obama's speech". It really irked me to no end. Maybe I was just sensitive, but it seemed like O'Reilly could not call him President Obama. The reason I ask is because I'm not sure I ever heard anyone of Fox News call GWB anything but President Bush.
Just wondering if anyone else noticed it.

That's standard Fox Noise fare. Nothing they do suprises me or riles me up. I just don't bother to watch.

i think pictures will redeem the dress.
I think that as with all things, it was the expectations game that spoiled this dress for some people. People were expecting more color, and all those designer sketches that people saw colored our vision some what.
Anyway, I like the dress

When Keith O announced this at the beginning of his show, I thought it was a joke. Is the economy getting to his old butt and he couldn't afford the moving men? Maybe he shoulda called his cousins and 'nem to come round the house to help him out. :)

I don't agree, the "clean up version" was so that the MSM would not continue to harp on it, nip it in the bud so to speak.
The story itself is still not very newsworthy. It is just an excuse to divert momentarily from the excitement of the moment.
The decision of picking a vice-president and SoS are important one. The original way this slip was gonna be covered seemed too cavalier an occurence. And if there is one thing no one seems to think Obama is...is cavalier. The man thinks over (some might say overthink) everything. That's why I say it's not newsworthy. Yeah report, but I would prefer the media does not try to get their news from entertainment programs.
Besides, per Marc Ambinder @ The Atlantic, " ...Aides said they issued a clarification not because they were worried about Sen. Hillary Clinton's sensitivities but because they did not want the historical record to be compromised."

It is no big deal to me, but again when the MSM has nothing to talk about and a slip comes out that they knew nothing about, of course they will harp on it. Is it important, HELL NO. And the clean up version was to refute what Jill Biden said, she said her husband was offered the choice of SoS and VP. She said this because she did not want her husband away from home for long lengths of time and if you look at the look on her face after she dropped the bomb and Joe Biden saying , "shhhhh", this was not to be out in the open. Persons don't back peddle a statement unless it was totally right, wrong or f**ked up.

This is a blip.. What is Hilary gonna do? Opt out of SoS? Go out of her way to F*&^ up Obama's State Office Administration? Issue a comment?? What can she do...NOTHING???? And sadly, the MSM does a disservice to the nation by trying to make this a bigger story than it needs to be!!!!
They are just looking for contrary info to peddle. Tomorrow this will not even be a story. If anyone other than Fox News covers this as a big deal, they should be shamed!

It may be a blip, but it is news worthy to look at the process at which people were picked for positions in the O Admin. Is it a big deal? No, but an immediate "clean up version" would not have been released if the slip did not have any merit.
