Good night Anderson!. Sweet dreams! Good night everyone. Sweet dreams.
Tee shirts are for people who do not have a life.......
Funny, I did my younger brother's homework for him when he was younger, I must be sexy then! sad thing is that there are girls and women who honestly believe that they are too pretty to do anything.
Have a great night everyone!
geography is important – like and such as – killer quote!!
I think there are worse tee shirts!
Good Night Everyone! Kids, that are so funny!
Good night everyone. Great show tonight. Gotta take my dog out. See you all tomorrow night.

Thanks for coming in, for join us tonight! 🙂

Thank you & good night Anderson & Team 360.
Good night fellow writers – good chatting with you all. I wish everyone a safe & peaceful tomorrow.
Those waves in China looked remarkable – I don't think i would stand so close.
Love the chat between Anderson & Piers – i think Peirs will have to go a long way to beat Anderson.
As always, Love the Ridiculist and am looking forward to Anderson's hilarious commentary.
Kids! I like the one that stated on the notebook, "I feel a shopping spree is come on!"
What a monster tidial wave 60 feet!!!!!!! Yikes and Wow!!!!! That's so scary I have see this!!!!!! I hope she is ok......
hmm. getting shot between the eyes and then just crawling back into the bog ... want that one on my side i think
It's nothing wrong with a lady when men whistle when she walk on by. They agree on what they see!
I agree Gloria, it's a compliment! When i was young it scared me at first and then i realized it was a compliment.
I'm so angry about this story I can't even talk about it. "Defraud those men"??? Those poor girls. Thanks Mitch Daniels.
I agree with your anger, Sharon. I feel the same. It seems it's always the women who bear such negative behavior in such religious cults! An Outrage!
Gary is asking a yes or no question.....he can not answer it!
It is an Outrage that "religious cults" can abuse children, especially girls!!
This report is seriously distrubing.
Somebody is accountable for this behavior! I refuse to believe that No One in the county, state, or federal gov. Can't do anything abou this!
What i also got from this is that these killings and abuse cases are mainly involving girls. Not to mention that recording from the 'minister's' preach is that women are at fault for everything, that we bring it on ourselves. It also sounds like rape would be girls' fault too and that men and boys are innocent in this
Not right abuse all many teenager girls!!!!!!!!! It is so wrong to do that abuse girls!!!!! It is so disgust to me, Gary T!!!!!
It makes me sick when people hide behind God and say that he said it was ok when they kill their kids, beat them to death or abuse them at all. Disgusting
I agree whole heartedly Heather. Someone Needs to be held accountable.
And, we, as Americans, condemn Islamists who abuse the girls & women. We need to clear our own house too!
Isha & Anderson,
I love my favorite dog always lay down on the vent during nap and It is so funny when his ears flap up and down!!!!! I love " The Shot"!!!! Isha, You get right choice dog!!!!!!!!! 🙂 LOL!!!
Cute puppies!
The shot reminds me of my cat in the winter, she will sleep or stand in front of the heater for a long time. i still love the snoring puppy though, haha
Love the dog shots Always! Hey, dogs aren't stupid, they know how to stay comfortable!
Ooohhh, so cute. Cool puppy for sure.
i love those little puppy ears flapping in the breeze – aawwwww
Me too!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!
It's so hard to see my birth state (VT) so destroyed.
On the other hand, my mom finally got her power back in MD today!
So terrible about Prattsville and many other of those towns in upstate NY. Flood damage is just devastating.
The cancer is cause by that fine crushed glass in the dust of 9/11!
Hello and Happy September 1st!
Hi BettyAnn, good to see you back!
It's cruel for the first responders not to receive compensation–anyone can see they were working in an extremely unhealthy atmosphere.
even with the hurricane being downgraded, it sure packed a whallop – so much flooding – quite a bit more than i think a lot of people actually expected
Yes, It is.
Asa retired RN, or even as a lay-person, it has amazed me that ground zero air was declared "safe" at the time of Sept. 11th and the days following.
The first responders who worked daily for months, under a very mistaken clearance of "safe air".
You would think that our government would be Very interested in helping these men & women as much as possible with health issues that so obviously affected their health!
Dr. Gupta makes an excellent point re: the combination of chemicals in the "dust" that lingered over the area for months. How could lung & cancer issues Not be determined to have been Detrimental to their health!!
I hope they all get the help that they so desparately need, including mental health treatment too.
It makes me mad and sad at the same time that the first responders are not getting the help they need. they went in when people were getting out and they were helping those who needed it most and now they are not getting help when they need it the most
Heather,
I agree with you........ We thought we don't know how find out leak from since almost 10 years now no answer to see this. Dr. Sanjay Gutpa is also right answer link cancer caused by dust cloud..... Yeah.... It is also mad and sad to me, Indeed.
Hellooooo everyone and Anderson!!!!
Thanks for coming in for join us tonight! 😀
Happy Thursday night!!!
My goodness that is so terrible shock link to cancer caused by dust since 9/11!!!
(Sorry to late join with you, I ate my dinner after!!!!!)
I'm not surprised by the new study. So many of the first responders have been ill. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they were exposed to huge amounts of harmful chemicals. I hope they get the help they deserve.
Gadhafi will never think he is out of a position of power over Libya.
He seems to think he is invincible and that he is more powerful than anyone or anything. Someone needs to knock him off his pedistole (sp?) and get him out of office
Greetings everyone,
Paula,
Seemingly, Gadhafi lives in the realities of his own world in which he rules forever!
I think it may be time that our government does another secret mission like they did with Bin Laden to get Syria's leader out of office and stop the mass killings going on there
Hi Heather, glad to see you back. In re: Gadaffi, hopefully "someone" will get to him & his sadistic son Siaf!
I couldn't agree more! That family needs to be taken down, they are too dangerous to be around people
Well said Heather. It appears that most of the Gadaffi family are sciopaths and Are dangerous to Anyone around them~!
For example, look at the nanny who was scaled all over her body for Not "beating" one of the sons toddler!
One of my Favorite consultants, Prof. Ajami. He informs us so well of what each Arab/Muslim country that has fought and have won and are still trying to win their freedom.
I also Love how Prof. Ajami insults Gadaffi (ignorant, hyena, etc) while he is speaking the truth!
God bless the Syrian people, who continue Non-Violence demonstrations, daily, in the face of a Brutal response!
Of course Syria would air Gadaffi's speech, they are birds of a colour.
I like his insights too, he is insultive without being insultive, haha.
That dust was a mixture of fine crushed glass!
Yes, it was so settle!
Good point Starr!!!!!!
Hi Anderson! Hi Everyone!
Good evening Anderson & Team 360.
Hello blogger friends!
Thank you so much Anderson for keeping the story of Syria alive!
Libya finally came to a halt with their war, it's time for Syria to follow suit
Good evening everyone. We've known for some time that Syria was lying. Sounds like an interesting program with the real scoop.
Hi Sharon. Don't you love that Anderson continues daily, to report on Syria & their lies. How hard he tries to bring us the truth.
I truly pray that the Syrian people Win their Freedom sooner than later.
It is a pleasure also, to see Libya re-organizing an entire country and enjoying the well fought for freedom.
I hope they locate Gadaffi & his sons, especially Siaf ASAP andbring them to justice.
Yes Starr. I do love Anderson's unique coverage, exposing the truth of what's really going on. That's why I'm here every night I can be.
Anderson,
Hi! It's great to see you on. Happy September!
Sounds like a fascinating program tonight–looking forward to your reports on Syria.
Good Evening Everyone! Greetings!
