1. Bwhahahahaha! No news is good news!

:evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

2. I had no idea that 'the thing formerly known as Prince' was so popular.

Popular these days, and I still want to know how he was so great in the first place. :crazy: (he had some hits, but unlike Madonna he grew old quickly...)

[Toucano]

13. Prince is a musical genius.

You have to go beyond the hits to undertand it, though.

Hundreds of artists have recorded his songs from George Clinton to Jesus and the Mary Chain to LeAnn Rimes.

The corporations control what you generally hear. That's what the symbol was about in the first place. Looks like they're ready to exploit him again.

[FrenchieCat]

15. I disagree......Prince was a wonderful innovator for quite some time.....

It just depends on what type of music you May "have been into".

I saw Prince in person back in the "days".....and appreciated him for his writing and performances. The man knew how to perform, and clearly still does....tell you that!

I think that it's all of matter of taste...

[Toucano]

3. All news outlets are covering it.

It's not unique to Fox.

[LeftNYC]

5. I understand that, but what I am saying is they went away from

Enron to talk about it.

[Toucano]

14. Oh, I understand now.

That is absurd. Or should I say even more absurd than usual.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

4. All the MSM news channels

cover their own shows...Survivor, the last Will and Grace, yada, yada, yada. It's all one big happy money-making family.

[babylonsister]

6. Yes, but there's serious breaking news on, which I think was the

OP's point.

[LeftNYC]

8. yes...if it was Clinton and sex

they'd be beating it to death...

[babylonsister]

10. Was that

a pun? :spank: ;-)

[LeftNYC]

12. could be...nt

[TallahasseeGrannie]

21. Ahhh

Thanks for pointing that out. It wooshed right over my head. Just more evidence of the conglomerate.

[LeftNYC]

7. right, but they left Enron to talk about it...nt

[Drum]

9. move along, nuthin' to see here folks....

get back to American Idol, or the terrorists win! (sarc.)

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. jr will have to get Mr Lay's new address to send him Christmas

Cards.

[NYCGirl]

16. Here's something that'll really depress you then:

The host, Ryan Seacrest, said 63.4 million votes were cast this season, boasting, "That's more than any president in the history of our country has ever received."

[demswin06]

19. It depresses the hell out of me..

that over 63 million morans voted for "American Idol" last night. A question? is America that f$%^&^ up? Yes,I understand that ten year old can vote on AI,but does that excuse the fact that this is a country of blooming idiots?:banghead: I don't get it!!!!!

[zalinda]

20. That is just a little misleading

since you are not limited to one vote. You can vote as many times as you want for 4 hours. It's mostly teens and pre-teens who are doing all the voting.

One year some nerd set up a computer dialing system to vote for this one girl, and she stayed on long after she should have been off.

[LeftNYC]

17. yeah i know...i saw that...

very sad, but remember 10 year olds can vote on american idol. And multiple times. Still a sad statement.

[underpants]

18. Rush made no mention of it (just as I expected) NeenerNeener didn't happen
