[pleah]

6. Thank you! This is going to be goood!

I almost forgot, K&R! :hi: :thumbsup:


Friday is grocery day, but I will try to participate. Thanks, again!

[ihavenobias]

7. Hey, keep in mind you can send them input any time AND you can watch them anytime at their website

You don't have to watch live.

Although I have to ask, when you say Friday is Grocery Day, does that mean you spend ALL DAY shopping for groceries?!

;)

[pleah]

8. I believe the live broadcast will be high noon my time,

No it usually takes about 3 hrs. at the stores. We only go every two weeks. We buy in bulk as much as possible so we spend about an hour or so after we get home,putting everything away. I transfer most dry goods to glass containers. Meat is divided into portions and placed in freezer bags and on and on.

Plus it is hubby's day off.

I am going to save the web address and check it out.

Thanks again.

[ihavenobias]

12. That's a very smart way to shop actually n/t

[IDemo]

9. Harry Reid is dazzling.... Harry Reid is dazzling....

I'm sure if I keep repeating that it will come true.. :evilgrin:

[ihavenobias]

10. Uh-oh. Considering Cenk is the host I hope Reid is like McCain (i.e. doesn't know how to use YouTube

Something tells me he'd be pissed .

Then again maybe he'd just feel ashamed because he knows it's true.

[pleah]

14. That was well worth 5 stars!

He really ripped them.

[ihavenobias]

16. I know, it's great n/t

[IDemo]

29. Hmmm.....I'm left wondering after watching that,

How do you suppose he really feels about Pelosi and Reid? :shrug:

[fight4my3sons]

11. Thank you!

[CherylK]

13. Bump!

[opihimoimoi]

[ihavenobias]

20. If by weak idea guys you mean the MSM, that sounds about right n/t

[opihimoimoi]

42. GOP is the WEAK IDEA GUYS...some are BAD IDEA DUDES...thats the GOP 4 ya

[PatSeg]

17. K&R

[flashl]

18. K&R nt

[OhioChick]

19. K&R

:kick:

[Fridays Child]

21. k/r

Can't wait to see this!

[AZBlue]

22. And the best part is that it's online, so even if you don't have cable, you can watch!

(like me right now)

[ihavenobias]

23. We got rid of the DVR and a bunch of channels recently (never had movie channels).

We'll see if basic goes next.

[AZBlue]

24. You don't want to do without basic now, do you?

Before the election? I'm actually hooking the cable back up next month and will keep it through November - I'll want the multitude of news stations, no matter how biased and misleading they are, LOL!

[ihavenobias]

25. Good point although TYT always has great election coverage too n/t

[CherylK]

35. DVR?

I feel stupid asking but what is that?

[ihavenobias]

36. I believe it stands for Digital Video Recorder. A big name brand version is "Tivo"

You can record tv shows and watch them any time (and pause, stop, fast forward and rewind them) and you can pause and rewind live TV.

[CherylK]

39. Ok, I know what that is.

I wish I had one!

[theFrankFactor]

26. Outstanding!

Cenk needs to be out there in the media. Great show idea.

[ihavenobias]

30. I agree 100% n/t

[navarth]

27. K & R. And I'm glad to see Marcy Wheeler getting some props on there.

I've seen her going up against Young Republicans on a state politics show here in Michigan. She's really good, totally outclasses their teensy weensy little Republican brains.

I just wish she'd call them out when they say 'Democrat Party'.

Cenk is totally on the way to stardom, and it couldn't happen to a better guy.

Don't forget your friends, Cenk!

[ihavenobias]

31. I'm glad to see a lot of people on that list getting props!

It should be an informative, entertaining show.

[fascisthunter]

28. AWESOME!

[Javaman]

32. If someone here goes, tell someone at the Huffington Post to fix their slow ass site. nt

[ihavenobias]

33. Funny, although I've honestly never had a problem with HuffPo, except for when commenting n/t

[CherylK]

34. LOL!

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

37. Good intro, look forward to it. Thx

[ihavenobias]

38. Less than 24 hours away, can't wait n/t

[gateley]

40. Kick! I want everyone to see this! nt

[ihavenobias]

41. Thanks n/t

[PLE]

43. Thanks

I hope I can catch the premiere live!
