Thank you Tom & Randi-Kaye for a diversified show tonight & Team 360 too. Happy Thanksgiving to ALL of you.(and good night too).
Good night fellow bloggers and a Very Happy Thanksgiving to you!
The Palin shot was pretty funny....LOL.
Am looking forward to CNN "heros" tomorrow.
Truthfully, we are just wasting our time, money and innocent American soldiers in Afghanistan. How long are we going to finish this war? How many troops are we ready to sacrifice to get the needed result. We better quit Afghanistan now and leave them to solve their own problems. Enough is enough. The war that has brought unemployment, less security, loss of lives into our golden country needs to be stopped immediately. Sooner we get out of it better for our country. Let's focus on our nation security not security of Afghanistan.

Good night David (Indiana) and friends!
Great show today! Thanks!
See you tomorrow!
Good night everyone. Have a blessed and very Happy Thanksgiving.
Oh the classic turkey slaughter a la Palin.
is there any way any american can file a criminal or civil law suit against the security at that checkpoint and the 2 people that intruded on the presidents dinner putting everyone at risk in the place and jeporadizing american lives???
LOL, Pres. Obama is funny.
Polanski is just vile. The liberal elite in Hollywood who support him are just as bad.
Wonderful piece on Ted Kennedy's wife.
On breast cancer:
There are plenty of free programs for mamograms, but No free "Treatment ' programs that i am aware of.
God bless Andrea for her attitude and for her work!
@ Daivid, Indiana – re: elec hamsters, very funny comment. You are probably right, real ones are too muc h trouble.
I agree with many other bloggers, that Someone (or more) needs to be held accountable for the breach in White House security by letting that couple in.
I also agree with some, that the "couple" involved should face some kind of penalty too.
Black Friday got that name because it's when many businesses finally get into the black (make a profit) for the year. I wonder if that's true this year with the recession.
They moved the show to L.A. to get some more movie stars to participate. Good plan!
@Isabel, I guess they work together well.
Electric hamsters? I was following you Tom Foreman up to the electric hamsters. Real one must be too much trouble.
cops don't rule the world and if he was penalized for flipping off one, then justice was done if he got $50,000.
i never thought of walking in to the white house and having party with the president....this is a serious matter!
Good Evening 😉
I wonder if black Friday would help the economy!! And I will most definitely attend the after thanksgiving sales on Friday!
I can't wait for the charges to come tumbling down to theFoax couple at the White House:):)..
If people think that war is something generals do then perhaps one should remember history. Eisenhower said beware the military-industrial complex. Generals get reputations with war.
If "winning in Afghanistan is that important, have a draft, no exemptions, a war tax, a war footing and then see how popular the war is with Americans.
Everything else is hypocritical and political. Kids die for the machinations of politicians and generals. We have fought wars in Korea and Vietnam without learning anything.

That the security breach at the White House state dinner occured is both outrageous and indefensable. Those persons could easily have been terrorists or Presidential assassins. The mind boggles considering the probable effects of such a scenario. Coming on the heels of the murder of 13 persons by a Major in the U.S.Army on a military post, we all should wonder at the state of our national defense safeguards. Heads should roll and quickly.
Those little hamsters are so popular because they don't smell, they don't bite and they probably live longer than the real ones.
Wow! This is not good.Inside workers need to be checked out to see if they had a hand in this.
I like a good deal when I'm shopping, but there's no deal that I would camp out 24+ hours for! I'm planning to hit the stores mid to late morning Friday.
I think that the dinner party crashers actually performed a postive service to the Counrty. Good thing it was only them, now I'm sure security will be tightened up.
Tom is also another master of the Magic Wall!
