Thank you and good night Anderson & Team 360.
Good night fellow writters, really enjoy interacting with all of you.
I wish everyone a safe and peaceful weekend!
@Nancy: i believe that animals are our teachers and healers. Everyday, science finds out more and more about the talents of animals.
Ooh- cute baby pigeon.
Kanye- you have to live with the conseqences of your actions just like the rest of us.
Birds are really ugly as babies.
Very funny Beat360!
Both good captions.
Kanye has had a terrible time since his mother died. He needs help.
You know, these performers today are too uncouth. They have no grace, no professionalism, no class.
@Paula, Colorado – yes, I noticed too!
We are buying everything on sale this year, and early. No waiting for last minute this year. My hubby calls it my one-person economic stimulus program. LOL 🙂
Zara Baker's step-mother has been arrested?
that's very tragic. She looked like a happy, young girl. I hope her killer is brought to justice.
Goodnight AC360 Team and fellow bloggers.
Good show tonight Anderson.
Have a great weekend everyone.
How sad. I was hoping they'd find her alive and well.
What a great show with " real " news. I think 360 is the only news program left on TV that has real news any more. Well, thank God for AC.
Sweet dreams all! Speaking of, may all your dreams come true! 🙂
Kanye, learn to humble yourself to the throne of music!
Kane West: He goes on national TV to apologize. Then claims he's was insulted by the who again? Then puts up tweet laced with Southern humor and familiarity...did I mention he's from NYC.
I'm so glad to see he's back to his old self. After all Kane is the enigma I never get enough of.
Have a great weekend everyone!
@Heather – Spokane, WA
"Oh darn....Kanye cancels....what shall we ever do.....(sarcasm)"
Ditto! LOL 🙂
Only 43 days until Christmas!
I hope FBI and John Walsh together succeed many fold to bringing an end to sex-tourism/sex-trafficking and all kinds of crimes. I hope the Internet becomes a tool for good. May good win over all evil.
Thank you John Walsh. Many blessings.
It's too early for Christmas!!! Not ready
Oh darn....Kanye cancels....what shall we ever do.....(sarcasm)
John Walsh has devoted his whole life to all of this. Bless him and all his efforts and he has been responsible for so much awareness and prevention. The child sex trafficking just boggles my mind. The U. S. should take a leadership role in combatting this abuse.
Yes, thank you for covering these cases Anderson!
John Walsh is best host "American Most Wanted" And catch bad guys including women!
This is disgusting!
This "sex-tourism"..gross; the way that children are exploited.
@ Sue from Syracuse
"Got to laugh when we can! LOL. SP gives plenty of laughable material!"
Agreed! 🙂
God bless Mr. Walsh and the work that he does.
His success rate is outstanding. I hope he will carry on and that many others will join him in the work he does.
Thank you Anderson for having him on and showing what is going on overseas!
Hats off to John Walsh.
He has turned his anguish to CONSTRUCTIVE causes for the good of the society.
[Certain whining politicians, take note!]
Bless John Walsh for doing what he does best and getting scum like this off our streets and neighborhoods!
Can't believe the scope of the victimization of children. I have never thought of this.
This topic is sick. I can not believe children are tortured like that. I can think of a stiff punishment for those child predators. yep, that's it.
Love the interviews with John Walsh this week. What a champion he is for finding justice. You're right Anderson, child trafficking is much more a problem across the world and yes, much more sinister and evil.
@Nancy in Oregon – Totally agree.
National Geographic coverage of Alaska (without special interest intrusion to peddle their interests and make excuses for their and their children's pasts...) would be really nice to see.
And, yes, I have always wanted to go to Alaska IN SUMMER! LOL
John Walsh has done so much good.
Of course it does, Karoline. A documentary about Alaska ( a la National Geo.) would be wonderful. I have always wanted to be there to see it in person (not a la Palin though!)
Hats off to John Walsh. He deserves to be commended for his lifetime of work. Thank you John Walsh.
John Walsh is doing a great service to society. I have alot of respect for him.
@Kelly, PA, Totally agree! SNL's cast of characters can smile all the way to the bank for 2 years... OR MORE! uh-oh
I've always wanted to visit Alaska too. It does look gorgeous.
We do, Emily. Or I do, anyway-I expect much more of politicians...though wrongly so, it seems. I would hope that our elected officials would work on our troubles and challenges. Instead, the 'politics' seem to take over. Our problems are ignored. All I can really do is try not to replicate that pattern in my own life and work.
@Jacqueline, NY – Got to laugh when we can! LOL. SP gives plenty of laughable material!
Uh-oh!!!! LOL!!!!! Anderson,
You're so funny!!!!! It was Kim!!!! 🙂
Sarah Palin running for president could be the best thing for Democrats and Saturday Night Live
@Jay, I like your way of thinking! NICE! 🙂
What are they calling Sarah Palin...Kingmaster? You cannot deny her influence on some of the elections last week. However, agree with Alex that she won't run for office. What a weird comparison...Sarah Palin and Kim Kardashian?!?
You guys are too funny!
I'm so afraid the media is going to make Sarah some kind of folk hero if she isn't already "the little woman from Alaska who took on the mainstream media, blah blah blah" (that's how her supporters see her). She took the money and ran. That's the only running she's doing.
Well, her INFLUENCE has not been positive.
@Mike NH
I agree with you about Palin, but as the panel just said, she is a tremdous fund raiser and king/queen maker.
I think she will never run for President.
I will not vote Sarah Palin for candidate president 2012.
Dont hate Sarah Palin; use her!
Sarah Palin is Not going to run for President!
I didn't know that she had this reality TV show, however, now that I see that, and the fact that she quit her job as Governor...
Well, Karoline, because her definition is very specific to herself.
