I am bowing you, Anderson!!!!!! LOL 🙂
That's a great song, by Edith!
Oh, that so funny...I'm still laughing...
Have a great night Anderson, Isha, and bloggers! 🙂
Thanks for the laughs.
Good night. Whoever writes this stuff is very talented.
Good Night Everyone! Enjoy your night!
oooohhh – this is very punny this evening – nice!
Wow...the RidicuLIST is hilarious! 😛
I can see why you're also laughing, Anderson.
Good night Anderson, everyone and my friends!!!!!!!
See you tomorrow night, Have a great night & Sleep tight everyone!!!
That's so silly I like ridiculist Gerard P. leak on the planes (pees), Yikes!!!!!!! LOL! So funny Anderson, Thanks Anderson!!!! I agree with you, I love his funny expression face!!!!!! LOL!!! He is right! 🙂
Anderson,
Have a great night & good sleep at home after work!!!
See you tomorrow night!!! Just a plenty sleep at home!
Anderson, it is CNN's job to report the lies and inconsistent Perry statements. For example, the majority of new Texas jobs were non-military government jobs, stimulus money was used to help balance the Texas budget, 25 states have a lower unemployment rate, Texas has the most people without health insurance, Texas seems like it is becoming a third world state
Should be a good Ridiculist.
Good night everyone. Have a good night.
I thought about saying sleep tight but that would sound wierd coming from a guy.
I'll save it for my kids.
Spiritual discipline shouldn't be defined as physical force.
Discipline the art of mastering ones self. It can not be imposed.
Spiritual discipline - I've never heard of such foolishness!
That's why that guest said that the outside world doesn't understand, and would views it abuse.
Many of these "groups" seem to be hidden or keep to themselves; never associating with others.
Wow!!! That is so amazing hang in there stuck truck driver through wall 6 hrs!!!!!!! *WHEW!* He is so lucky alive!!!!!
Anderson and Isha!!!
I love "The Shot Actress Anna Hathaway raps her music with Conan O'Brien!!!!!! Anderson, I love your face funny expression!!!!!! Way so funny, Anderson!!!!! 🙂
I don't like going on those rides, anyway! I will wave from the ground looking up saying, "Heeey!"
That's not even how you train a dog or any animal successfully. All they learn is anger and fear.
Exactly Sharon.
That's so true, Sharon!
They also learn not to trust, which can lead to even more issues later.
Very sad when it's your own parents, whom you fear, distrust, and are angry with.
Religious FundaMENTALism is everywhere, isn't it?
yes How do we except kids to more creative when they are getting punishment like this
They won't be, Vic!
That's what's so sad. They won't have any self-esteem, or confidence. Tragic all around.
Really, what hope do they have for their future?
Wow, 6 hours dangling in a vehicle like that? Glad to hear that he's safe and doing well!
From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.
Hello everyone.
I hope Libya will be free soon. it's been a long hard fight for them.
Perry is starting to remind me of the 2nd George Bush with his big "Texas Talk"..... Scary.... Do we really want to go down that road again???
I think that Perry is much worse that Bush! He makes Bush look more centric.
I'm seriously thinking that it's only a matter of time before the Republican Party spits into two.
Now that "The Tea Party" has a name, I think that it's not if, but when.
Weird book tour–she should realize an interview isn't just a prepared statement.
The Republicans are still short of representation!
Wow!!!!!!!!! I am shocked Christine O'Donnell walk off on Piers Morgan tonight!!!!!!! No, Piers is not rude at all!!!
Piers is smart funny, and usually very good at getting down to the basic issues at hand. It sounds like a light politician just embarrassed herself in front of a heavyweight interviewer.
I agree with you, Grant!!!!!!!! 🙂
I wonder why Christine O'Donnell is even back now in the Media?
Emily,
Christine always avoid lot of Media includling Anderson......... She turned down for interview any media!!!!! She diased Piers as well.
I thought the same thing. Can't believe she's still floating around.
oh dear – personally i do not think piers was out of line – i think those questions were to be expected and (even if a person repeatedly does not answer the question/s) that type of response should just be a "press release" and not an interview, methinks
For anyone to say something, like, "I don't know what y'all would do to him" ...when talking about The President of the United States of America. It reminds me of the same kind of (despicable) speech from terrorists. Everyone finds the 'right' behind their speech, and a reason to put down & really insult another person. (not speaking about their polices).
She thought she is going to appear in America’s got talent for witch performance
CNN mistake same guy sitting in both
Good point there, Vic....... You're right about that!!!!!!!
Perry reminds me of GW Bush. Not good for Republicans..
It's sad that in this day and age with 24 hour media window people just can come out and say whatever they want.
It's up to the voters to.help Obama to see the second term through!
I'm in.
Gloria,
Me too..... I'm in!!!!!!!!!
At present there are no better candidates than Obama so I hope he will win
I just love keepin them honest. You're in the big leagues now Rick. Every word will be noted and tested against the facts.
Thanks Anderson
How Rick Perry create Jobs in Taxes
Gov. Perry is not interested in Facts, Anderson!
That don't go over as well in sound bites as the rhetoric he chose to speak.
Quote: "Where there is no vision, the people perish..." Proverbs 29:18 Amplified Translation
Quote: "A man without a plan, is a man without a future" TCU Coach Gary Patterson
What??????? I don't believe Rick Perry aays!!!!!! I agree with you, Anderson........ There you go!!!!! Thanks for keep then honest!!!!!! 🙂
So there is a problem with Pres taking some time with family but where is congress for 6 weeks? I find that funny.
G.W Bush came up with idea “ No Child left behind” remember
Actually G.W.Bush was thinking about Rick Perry
It is ridiculous to credit Perry for job creation in Texas. Is this a governor-level thing, or President-level? Since Texas is part of the US, Pres. Obama must also be due half the bragging rights along with Perry for the job situation in Texas. If Perry gets all the glory, then all the other governors are to blame for the horrible jobs picture in other states, not Obama. You can't have it both ways. Let's see Perry work his magic in Michigan, then maybe I'll buy it.
That stage collapsing at the Indiana State Fair is truly tragic!
Is that a State Fair where they re-erect the stage every year, or is it one that stays up all year long?
Hi Emily.....
Yes, It was....... people have listen what weather said, it was fail listen when stage collasped during weather storm!!!! They broke their rules, That's why they have to check if there problem as well...... Good question, Emily.
Hi Megan!
Thanks. I never really feel comfortable going to Fairs when they take down stages, rides, etc. I can remember reading about people who would be seriously injured (or killed) on rides that broke apart when they were on them. These rides were not properly inspected, or looked after. Very unsafe and careless. On a happy note, there were not more deaths at the Indiana State Fair. It was such a huge crowd.
Emily,
Sad news for you...... 5 people killed also...... that's my note tell you. 🙁
That is a sad update, Megan!
Thanks. I'm sure that we'll hear more over time.
Good evening
Obama gets it!
good point about "presidents get points for leadership" – as long as the followers of a strong leader are not merely lemmings going over the cliff, merely to follow the leader
You are so right in your comment, Lisal!!
I think that David is correct! Obama should have thought about this plan before, now, as in last year. Obama, himself is correct that if the unemployment rate is still so low on Election day, he'll be a one term president.
Hellooooo everyone and Anderson!!!!
Thanks for coming in for join us tonight! 😀
No, Governor Rick Perry!!!!!!!!!! I disagree with you, President Obama is not a job destroyer.
Finally!!!!!! Obama made it!
Good evening everyone. We all know unfortunately that proposing legislation and getting it passed are sadly not the same. David Gergen is just saying it won't pass. How sad, huh?
Good evening Anderson, Isha & Bloggers!
Anderson,
Hi! It's great to see you on. Sounds like a fascinating program tonight–looking forward to your discussions.
Good Evening Everyone! Greetings!
