Good evening, Anderson, Erica, contributors and all bloggers! Hope all of you are having a wonderful evening...

Hey Anderson and Erica...Hope you had a great day!

Glad to be blogging with ya tonight on my birthday!!

Cindy...Ga.

Hi Anderson and everyone, It looks like an interesting program tonight!

Hi, everyone – already a busy night!

Hello all...gee, Obama is now asking all the poor people to pay off Hillary's debt.

Hello, everyone. Another night of exciting blogging.

Hey Erica.....welcome back

Hi all, welcome back , Erica!

Hellooooo Anderson, Erica, and Bloggers!!!!!!
Welcome back to AC360 Erica!!!! missed you.
Whoa there is breaking news I see. I was surprised Hillary Clinton owes $22 million!

Hi Anderson, bloggers and Erica welcome back

Welcome back, Erica Hill!

So many topics , so little time:)

Good Day to all!!!

I do not see why Obama would pay anything for Hillary. He did not ask her to stay in the contest when she was already in debt.

I don't like the idea of Obama paying off Hillary Clinton's debt. I don't care how usual this might be, It sounds like he is buying her support.

I think she's trying to get anyone to pay off her debt.

It must have been a tense day on Capital Hill.

Hillary is a very smart politician, so is her husband and I like them both

Maybe Bill can pay off her debt? He rakes in millions from public speaking engagements.

Well that's because Barack is a nice guy.

Hello bloggers! Paying off some of Hillary's debt is the least Obama could do since he is depending on her for his "Unity" tour.

Hey..if Obama wants to pay off Hillary's debt more power to him!

Cindy...Ga.

Helping pay off Hillary's debt is a sign of unity, isn't it?

I don't know Anderson all I'm saying hopefully is a good excuse to earn that money for her....

Thanks, everyone ~ nice to be back

Yeah, Joann....
I agree with you....... I don't like Obama paying off her debt.

I'm not surprised that Bill had a spokesman say he was backing Obama. I think there is a lot of bad feelings there!

Cindy..Ga.

Hey bloggers! Hillary has a mountain of debt, how can you just owe yourself 12M, sheesh! Senator Obama is really nice to ask people to help her to pay off her debt

I think it is nice of Senator Obama to help with her debt. Otherwise she would have to eat a good portion of it.

Bill will come around when the time is right. He might be working a deal with the Obama campaign with his delayed endorsement.

I don't like him paying it off, but I guess if it move the election so be it. I think it is extremely weird. I don't understand why it is the right thing to do.

Erica,
You're so welcome!

EJ (USA), I think it has more to do with him wanting her support and needing the votes of her supporters. I don't think it has anything to do with being "nice."

EJ, Obama being a 'nice guy' has nothing to do with it. He needs her supporters, so needs her good will.

Obama taking and using someone's money to pay Hillary's debt. Sounds familiar.

The right thing to do? Why? He didn't force her to go into debt, she did that by herself. Obviously she wasn't as good at fundraising as he was...why is that Obama's problem?

it is very nice that Obama is asking people to help Clinton with her debt. If the roles were reverse, I don't know if the graciousness would be flowing like this

I am an Obama supporter but I WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT! NOT give money to bail Hillary out of her debt. She used her money to run a dirty campaign against him. Now Obama is talking loco, but I still support him.

Yap, Obama is really nice to help pay the debt, I agree Laylay.

I don't believe that John McCain or the Republicans would keep us more safe on the war in terror. I think they are the reason that it has escalated!

At this point does it really matter if Bill Clinton endorses Obama? HIllary brings him the women vote but I don't think Bill offers anything except perhaps his popularity and influence.

Mike there is no guarantee that her diehard supporters will support him. I think it is a goodwill gesture. There are some who will vote against their own best interest because they are upset.

Mike, Syracuse, NY, It is all about doing anything to win.

Good evening Anderson, Erica and fellow bloggers

Hello Anderson and fellow bloggers.

Jo Ann, I agree, I think Obama just wants Hillary and Hillary's supporters, so he is going to pay off her debt.

Shannon,
I agree, you are right, I don't either understand why he is doing right thing to help her.

He is not using the money given from his personal internet donors.

I think Obama is weak on more than just national security.

Cindy..Ga.

If helping pay the debt is common, than wouldn't Obama just look bad if he didn't? He didn't have a choice here

I think that Obama has most of her supporters as he is now leading in the double digits.

Jo Ann, that's why Obama's positions keep changing faster than you can follow them. say anything to win.

I guess Barrack is asking his supporters to pay off her debt so her supporters will support him

Guys this is politics, if it takes Obama's help to pay off Hillary's debt to win the GE, you bet he will do it.

I think Obama should stay the hell away from Hilary , I dont trust her.

I agree Jo Ann. For me, when it comes to politics the word "nice" doesn't come to mind.

Ugh, more Imus? Can't we just ignore him? I'm sure there are better things to talk about.

Great Work Candy, I wonder how Sen Clinton will climb her way out of the campaign debt.

He's just asking his supporters to help her. He isn't using any money that has been given to him.
If he can get them to give her money, good for him.
He still has to win her supporters on his merits. Doubt that helping with her debt will sway anyone.

Mike, you want to talk about changing their postion. Senator McCain has changed his so often or can't remember I'm not really sure what he stands for.

pay off hilary's debt? no one paid off my debt..this is kinda like a day at the casino's...everything is on chance..i am appalled....

Anderson says "As always, I'm blogging throughout the hour"

He should say "As always, I say that I am blogging but I only usually say hi & bye once a week since I got called on using the "my computer is broken" excuse too many times and I wouldn't mind if they got rid of this live blogging thing because its just another thing to add to my already hectic day!"

Cynthia, I think some of Hillary's supporters won't vote for Obama because they know he's not qualified. They are being Americans first, Democrats second.

Dr, Dobson and fruitcakes in the same sentence hmmmm

Mike, we get it you don't like Obama. This doesn't make what you say true. Obama has changed his mind very few times compared to the flip flops by McCain.

Hey Anderson and Erica,
Of course Obama should pay off her debt, he needs her voters and this is a show of unity and acceptance that Hillary is a force to be reckoned with and her voters are not easily swayed by his "sweet talk: about Hillary's accomplishments

Hi Anderson, Erica and Bloggers! Helping Hillary pay off her campaign debt is actually a pretty civilized thing to do in political terms–that and savvy Quid Pro Quo.

I agree with Stacy....Imus is never gonna smarten up and keep his mouth in check...lets not give him any more attention.

I like Dr. Dobson and his focus on the family movement, but I think he was rather harsh and mean regarding his comments on Senator Obama.

We have to have separation of church and state. Period.

Every politician and President has made decisions for this country based on their religion and beliefs. If Obama doesn't think that he needs to get real!

Cindy...Ga.

I am an evangelical Christian and I think what James Dobson today was just completely insane. When did he become a biblical scholar??? Did he even study theology?

Fine, let him pay off her debt with his own money, if he wants to. LOCO! LOCO! But how dare he ask the public to pay off her debt. Let her supporters bail out. Maybe I should ask her to pay off mine.

Why is it "usual" for the winning candidate to pay off the losing candidate's debt? Is this some sort of "campaign reparations"? The winning candidate saying "sorry I beat you, let pay your bills?"

Mike, its obvious you don't support him. I gathered that a long time ago from reading your blog. But, as I told you the other night – that's the great thing about America – we are all entitled to our opinion and our vote.

Hmmm, I wonder If Obama talking about bible policy, Why James Dobson accused Obama tonight?

Are you kidding? We are supposed to believe that we are getting the truth from Al Sharpton and Roland Martin?

Good evening all! An interesting show so far!

Most of the people in my religious studies class refer to Obama as a false prophet. i think that is a little over the top.

I think James Dobson is feeling left out this cycle and really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this "new" argument.

I hear you EJ, So True!!

Obama is right, thought, people have used the Bible to justify slavery and much more. It's open to interpretation by everyone. Besides, in the end, here in America there is supposed to be a separation of church and state. Not everyone is a Christian here in the US anyway.

I am a future pastor and have no problems with anything Obama is quoted as saying

Cindy: the point is leaders should not let their religion dictate political actions. That's part of the reason we left England. We need pure separation of church and state.

There are some lively people on the blog tonight. It should be very interesting

Obama has a 12% lead over McCain.... and asking his top supporters to help Clinton out with the debt. So amazing!! =]]

Ugh, Dobson. To echo the late great George Carlin, didn't Jesus leave instructions on how his followers should occupy their time? As in, doing GOOD instead of attacking people with false and poorly constructed claims?
All these "religious right" leaders, people self-proclaimed as "close" to christ are so often... terrible, hurtful people.
I don't expect this comment to make the cut, but it felt good to get out.

i have been an obama supporter from the start........and i really dont understand how paying off her debt, brings the party together, i have contributed to the obama campaign .... not the payoff poor hilary for staying in the race too long campaign..

Obama re leaving some of Hillary's debt is the right thing to do, however her campaign finances were a disaster. Sure she will have to take a hit on some of what she put into her campaign, but there should be some accountability from her advisers.

Doesnt just about everyone have their own interpretation of the bible? And how can Dobson determine what any other person believes, and who gave him the right to judge anyone's religous values? I thought that was GOD's job!

Obama is fooling himself if he thinks the evangelicals will vote for him!

Cindy...Ga.

Morality is NOT religion...morality is of all religions and all faiths.

Go to the Supreme court and see what you find...the ten commandments itched in stone at the doorway, moses in marble

The Clintons have made something like 100 million dollars since Bill
left office. Why can't they pay off their own debt?

Keep religion in church!

Keep politics in the statehouse!

enough said!

Whew....the bloggers are cynical tonight! I may not be a big fan of those on the panel tonight but it's always interesting to hear what they have to say.

MaryBeth...we say that but it has never ever been that way!!

Cindy..Ga.

Are you all suggesting that Dobson doesn't have a right to express his views...Is the right to free speech reserved only for liberals?

It is essential for Obama to help out senator Hillary. I think it iIs the right think as many from both sides did in the past. I remember when Hillary helped our a governor running for president pay off his debt.

Wow! I'm actually agreeing with Sharpton. We are NOT a theocracy, he is right. He's actually being logical....

This country has separation of church and state...the church is not telling the government what to do

I am an evangelical and vote for Obama

@EJ–Ha! Ouch. But not untrue. I say let Anderson just focus on the show.

There go the republicans again spreading fear in the masses! Go Obama!

Everyone does have their own interpretation of the bible and nothing that Obama said was offensive.

Yes, I do believe Imus actually.

Obama is being the better man by helping Hillary pay off her debt. It's time to see some change. Obama helping Hillary lets us know that anything is possible.

Good evening all. I agree with JoAnn. This is where the 'truth' is coming from?!

Cindy,
I agree with you, I thought Obama would not have vote bible or religious policy, I am sure that it hurts Obama.

I believe Imus' remark was not racist as much as I believe that Obama's "typical white person" comment was not racist.

The separation of Church and State is based on Thomas Jefferson’s view of the Anglo Saxons before the Normans conquered England in 1066.

We say we have separation of church and state but when someone as the president or whoever makes a law or a decision about a law they will always go with their beliefs! Always have.

Cindy...Ga.

Gary, we never suggested he doesn't have the right to express his views. We just disagree with Dobson stance. He is presenting his limiited interpretation.

Of course Dobson has his right to say what he wants, and I (along with many others) have the right to say how ridiculous his comments are.

EJ, I sometimes have a difficult time watching the show and blogging at the same time. Imagine Anderson's job. I do believe that he reads the blog though. Maybe I'm wrong.

Your Evangelical guest refers to "Orthodox Christians" – he needs to clarify that he does not speak for the Orthodox Church of America or The Greek Orthodox Church. Let's not confuse a long-standing faith with a relatively new franchise with a somewhat fringe bent.

There is nothing wrong with what Obama said about the bible and if al sharpton is not offended, why is James Dobson offended.

Cindy: I know...it's sad. The problem is our laws deal with morality (killing, stealing, etc) and people see that as religious. It's not...it's just that some acts are morally wrong, religion just happen to agrees. Morality does not equal religion.

Cindy why would you believe that evangelicals would be more inclined to vote for McCain?....because he is republican?

To me Obama seems to be a much more spiritual person and I can see evangelicals giving him a look!!

There are many strong Christian believers who do not classify themselves as Evangelicals–a political term, not a biblical term.

Roland, as the old saying goes – tell the truth and shame the devil.

The Anglo Saxon’s had a ‘relaxed’ religion... however when the Normans arrived they brought 'strict' Catholicism ’strict’ and forced the Anglo Saxons to obey. It was the Church running the State.

I think Stacy is right. Anderson seems to be very busy. Very lively & interesting show!

If only religion and politics were not entwined!

Kathy S – I was just teasin' Anderson. I know he's busy. I have a lot of respect for Anderson.

Yes Anderson you are absolutely right, but the evangelicals left behind by McCain feel the need to be in the spot light hence this statement from Dobson.

mike from boston...thank you very much!!!

you fellow bostonian, greek orthodox christian

Kim...Chicago...Because Obama's stance on the issues goes against everything that evangelicals stand for.

Cindy...Ga.

Shannon, it is your opinion that he is presenting a "limited interpretation". Not a fact. And there are people here who would prefer that Dobson NOT express his positions. I have heard many secular comments (not here and now) that actually say Christians should be seen but not heard.

Did anyone else notice how terribly uncomfortable Obama was during the clip they showed?

What about the seperation of Church and State? Doesn't every church pick and choose what scriptures suit them?

I think Barack's point, is that our country is from many religions, many interpretations of the Bible, and that as a President, you have to respect all of them, but not allow the extreme differences in interpretation to have influence on how the constitution is followed. The meaning is clear, the media is blowing this out of proportion.

One person's values may not be another's. Why is that the religious right seem to believe that their views are the only ones that are true and right? They can be true and right for themselves but they don't have to be right for me.

Religion & politics are always going to go together. Sad, but true.

EJ, glad to hear that.

That is the basis of separation of Church and State !! If people understood their American history this would not be an issue.

What happened to "change"??

Separation of Church & State should be at the top of Obama's list. He's caving.

Obama is paying or praying for those 18 millions voters to swing his way – at the cost of 10 million or so. sounds desperate to me.

I like Rolands idea on getting Senators Obama, McCain and Dr. Dobson together. That would make for interesgting TV especially if McCain can stay awake

Rev is right on the difference between the the politics and the personal religion.

Anderson, you're not concerned about your eternal existence? I'll pray for you.

Anderson,
I agree with Juliet. You're right about that.

Well, Obama's strategy is to go after the white evangelical vote. Good for him. McCain tends to shy away from any faith talk.

I don't think it's good anyone puts God and politics together. But hey this is just my opinion.

Roland always spices up the show!!!!

I think Gary Tuchman is starting a new fasion trend with the waders!

sorry, im late to the party

Gary is really a hero in my view for his coverage of this flood, he always goes above and beyond just to get the story thru. Thanks Gary.

It's hard to believe that the water is still rising. I really must admire the extreme hard work of the victims of this flooding.

it does not surprise me that Gary Tuchman would walk down a submerged street

I agree with Rev. Sharpton completely. And think that Dr. Dobson is doing evangelicals a disservice by being so unreasonable. People like him are the reason I left the church.

Every time I see Gary in those boots, I try so hard not to laugh.

If God starts talking to Obama like he did Bush, we're in BIG TROUBLE.

hey Anderson.....busy night

I can't believe they are getting more rain!! When will they get a break out there!?

Cindy...Ga.

I see Gary is back wading in that awful water again.

Those people are really working hard to keep their homes safe.

Wonder if they caught any fish?

Great to see Erica back! Missed you Erica!

That's okay, Anderson. You brought the drinks, right?

Oh Wow!
That is so terrible for people........ I am glad Gary T wear wader in the water, My breaking heart for them.......... my hearts go out to people.

Wine country burning. What will I do? Not real crazy about beer.

Dee F., in my opinion Roland tells it like it really is.

The award for most water logged reporter goes too ... Gary Tuchman!!!

Hannah: yeah...Gary is awesome. He went into that lady's basement in chest deep water to save some of her trophies.

Tanisha It is not about putting God and politics together it is about being who you are as a person. If you are a religious person and you think religiously you can not separate that from the rest of your person. That would be like saying that I am 2 different people. However, it is wrong for ppl to push their views on others.

Better late than never Anderson!

I want that shirt really bad

What we have to keep reminding ourselves is that it is "Freedom Of Religion" not "Freedom From Religion." We might argue, but it's still the best any country has ever had!

That's ok AC, the party is still going on for a little while. Good to see Gary again reporting on the flood. I hope the water starts to recede after tomorrow but what a long recovery and clean up that is awaiting...

Hi Anderson – good job as always... and welcome back Erica

Just an observation from the country to the North... religion never seems to be an issue during any election to office in Canada regardless of the ethnic background of a candidate. There could be more to be said on that subject but I think I made my point.
Vancouver, Canada

i got the drinks, but i forgot ice, be right back

Better late than never Andy! Welcome..

Welcome to the party Anderson!

Anderson,
That's ok....... I know you are so busy night!

Look at Erica Hill doing her best impression of a Price is Right model.

need the ice.....nothing warm or hot right

If FEMA doesn't step up to the plate this time with this flooding, I think American's are going to have a Revolution

Max from Dallas, you're right on the mark in your statement. I know what you mean by your maybe making the mark... I'm gald it did as none of my previous ones did; I've become to expect it but continue to check for the record.

i thought it was a good discussion between sharpton, martin and perkins. as always i like it when smart people discuss things intelligently without yelling and screaming at each other. way too much of that on tv

I bet after the Flood of 08 Gary will never want to wear waders again!!! At least he doesn't have to wear a suit.

@Anderson, if you're going back out anyway, bring chips!

Jana, These people have great perseverance! I don't know that I could do it.

As usual, Gary is doing a great job covering this story!

why isnt New Orleans a reminder of what can happen if the levees break? get you and your famlies out of there! these are the same people who wull be crying later!!

I just dont get it??

Better late than never. Welcome! You have been busy tonight, Anderson.

Happy Birthday! to Cindy in Ga.

California is always on fire. This state is hot hot hot! (laugh)

Don Imus, open food insert mouth

There are many people, on both sides of the political spectrum who were complementing FEMA today.

ok, last call, ice, chips, what else? gummy bears?

Why can't Imus just admit what he actually meant and move on? We all see the truth.

Cindy..Ga.

ohh gummy bears sound great

Oh no IMUS in the morning... Hmm... I'm not sure I buy that he was trying to stand up for him.... what a mess...

skittles, definatly skittles....and gummy bears of course.....got to build up that stock

M&M's

Great job Gary t. poor people keep getting worst and worst for them.

Imus should just go away or find another way to do sarcasim.

I so agree with you Anderson, intelligence makes for much better television.

Whether we like it or not, religion and politics will always be intertwined because they both involve people interacting in a public way. Instead of bashing one or the other, I think the realisic way to move forward is to take both into account and to blend them. They each show forth who we are and what we think.

Imus is still a shock jock and he should know better but once a shock jock always a shock jock! Open foot insert both feet!...

There will always be people who want to listen to Imus, so there will always be those willing to hire him. Why are we still talking about this, again?

I have to take Imus' side on this one. I believe he was defending the guy.

you know a year ago I had no idea who Don Imus was and I feel like my life was better for it

Don Imus can't seem to control himself or his mouth.

Sorry Cindy... but I think that is a stereotypical view of evangelicals. I love the fact that he thinks he can break through that barrier...

how 'bout some guac for those chips, ac?

I think Roland said it all last night and on his blog describing 'Pac man' Jones!!!

Enough with Imus, he is who he is, he will never change.

The thing about Imus, Howard Stern and the other shock jocks is that if you don't like them, don't listen.

Can't wait to find out what happened to the girls in Gloucester - should be a short segment ... they had sex - without a condom!

Ooh, gummy bears!

By the time the show is over all the bloggers are going to be raiding their kitchens for three-dimensional food.

No one can say for sure what Imus really meant. After all that the media and the black organizations put him through before does anyone really believe that he would make another negative racial comment?

Ok, Erica, guac for the chips!

Apparently, Anderson is VERY happy tonight. Glad to see you back, Erica! You were missed!!

I wish ppl would just acknowlage that it is ok to be religious but a person just need to respect the ppl who disagree with them. Thats a new idea isn't it?

Jo Ann, I know I couldn't do it. We had some flooding here in Indiana, but nothing like those poor people in Iowa and Illinois. I have one friend that had flood insurance here in Indiana and she is having to fight to get what she has paid for.

If Imus was truly trying to make a sarcastic point and to highlight that african americans are unfairly treated by the police - is a crock. If that was Imus' position – he'd have used the moment to "shock" the police on his view & clearly make that position statement. Not wait 'til "after the fact".

you think with Imus' history, he'd be very careful with his words. if this his way of defending the guy he should of been a lot more clear with his choice of words.

Mike, Syracuse, NY; I have heard Howard Stern say worse things than anything Imus has ever said, but he isn't as easy a target as Imus is and he would fight back.

The diversity of his staff excuse? That's not the first time that I've hear that type of excuse. That's like the excuse "some of my best friends are .........."

Dick Gregory! This is such a treat.

Thanks for having Dick Gregory on tonight! It's always good to hear his perspective.

My goodness I have not seen Dick Gregory forever! It's great that you have him on the show!

Roland is right. Imus should have expanded on his point when he made it yesterday, not a day later.

I think that you have to take him at his word unless there is evidence that he is being dishonest.

I agree. If he meant that blacks are profiled more for arrests and criminal activity, he should have clarified that right then and there.

Love Roland! "walk while black, drive while black" LOL

" I read $1,000 worth of newspapers every 12 days" ... best quote of the night,definitely have Dick Gregory on again.

I love Rolands straight talk! Pac Man Jones is a nut for real!

We should all just leave Imus alone and he will go away.

Seriously...who cares about what Don Imus says...

Yes, Imus loves to push boundaries. Yes, he should know better than to insert his foot AGAIN in his mouth. Remember, when we stop letting people express their views, right, wrong, or indifferent, we stop being America.

Who cares about what Don Imus says? He should have cleared up his thoughts yesterday. I hope he did mean what he said, but once again...who cares about what Don Imus says?

Thanks for coming in Dick Gregory,
I agree with his comment.

I believe Imus meant it, and I'm ok with that. He spoke his truth.

I don't buy Don's explanations at all.

Dick Gregory! He always has something interesting to say–& tonight is no exception.

A 12 yr old got a new car!! WHAT!?

Cindy...Ga.

lots of good discussion tonite

Roland... Every person's own mindset determines how they perceive what someone else says about African Americans – especially sarcastic remarks. Imus cannot be held responsible for the way others take what he says. That's THEIR issue – not his.

Dick Gregory was great

I'm on the edge of my seat for the pregnancy pact segment. Should be interesing hearing from one of the teen girls.

Why don't you just get Imus to come on the show and explain his point of view. Then people could make up their mind. Instead we listen to a bunch of people speculate about it?

Ok, I heard on the local news that the officials were stating there was no pregnacy pact .... this should be a good interview..

I don't believe Imus' story. But I also don't care. His job is to be shocking. He bashes everyone. That's what shock jocks do. Why is everyone shocked when a leopard shows his spots? If a black comedian had said it, it would have been OK.

Why is there no discussion of the young men who got these 15 year olds pregnant? Something is wrong with the town when they only talk about the pact, but not about fact of the pregnancies themselves.

AC why is 100% of the conversation all about the 17 girls and their pact? What about the boys? Where they in or where they tricked into getting these girls pregnant? Just sayin... Cause THAT might be the real story!

Seems like these girls were told to change their story.

Cindy..Ga.

Is it scary that this girl seems to think being pregnant at 17 is no big deal? Maybe I'm just old....

The preg. girls said there is no pact but decided after they got preg. to raise their children together? That # of preg. girls in one school is a heck of a lot.

I didn't believe that girl. She paused before she said there was no pact...

Good night Anderson and all bloggers. Was really a great show tonight. A good mix of stories.

That young lady should get an education and eventually get a good job! Having babies should be down the line, way down the line!!

I love it. The young girl was on birth control! Take that, Tony Perkins.

omg a girl got pregnant because she got lonely....maybe we should be teaching self respect and self worth.

Night Anderson and all.

Cindy..Ga.

Jolene, he couldn't have known it would be misinterpreted.

Well, he could have, but being himself, didn't. He should have a chance to expand now.

I don't think this Pact thing makes any sense and I don't think that ppl would accually do something like that I buy the coincidence story.

Why isn't anyone talking about those irresponsible boys? They need to pay the price as well.

Night all. Great discussion tonight! See you tomorrow.

And sounds like the principal and other key members are now trying to change their story..

Good program as usual. Have a wonderful night, Anderson, Erica, contributors and all bloggers!

So what about the homeless dude that supposedly had sex with one of the teen girls? Sounds like they wanted to get pregnant to me! Intriguing story!

Sam, I agree. Many of the fathers apparently could be charged with statutory rape. Why aren't they going after them?

I hope talking with my daughter (13) and making sure my son(16) knows how to respect a young lady never puts me in this position as a mother....

You throw a great party Anderson! Fun people, good eats and chat!

I thought the whole thing about the girls making a pact to get pregnant, was the stupidest thing I have ever heard. The problem is adults are paying attention to these kids in the first place. I was a teenage mom and I wish I would have made a pact with somebody to not get pregnant at all. Parents need to start paying attention to these kids and stop letting them raise themselves...I'm speaking from experience and from I have seen in other young mothers.

Wow....what a pretty t-shirt!

Good night all

I'm starting to think it would be less damaging for the school if there was a pact, they'd be able to blame it on Knocked Up instead of on a lack of sex-ed.

Good night Anderson, Erica and Bloggers!!!
Have a great night! Just sleep tight!!
See you tomorrow night!
Congrats Bart!!!! I want one!!!!!!!!

Imus probably didn't expand on his point because there was no point.
We need to just let this go. I think we have a few more pressing issues. I am with Erika, guac sounds great.

What's a "nettle?"

Please bring the nettles to the party.

Jo Ann thats a good point are the Dad's helping out at all? I would be interested to hear that part of the story.

with the ending story being about nettles....i am rethinking those snacks

goodnight anderson, erica, everyone at cnn...see you all tomorrow.
–Heath

Another great band name: The Nettles.

Good night Anderson, Erica, Jana, and Mike! Great discussions tonight; I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring!

Goodnight Anderson & Erica – Always fun watching you both. Have a great night!

This was a good discussion tonight, I'll be back to blog tomorrow

oh the shot is gross....so much for getting a snack now

great show Anderson and Erica......fun time at the party

See everyone tomorrow night

good night alll!!!
See you tomorrow night! sleep tight!

Great show tonight!!! Good night all!!!

Great show Andy and Erica! Love the humour! On my way to the fridge for a drink. I'm thirsty now!...

Won't they get sick from all those nettles?
