I note that Andrew attended Tulane University here in New Orleans. From New Orleans to Andrew's family, friends and colleagues, may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace, Amen.
To everyone in Andrew's family, his friends, his colleagues at Breitbart.com, those in the conservative movement, I extend my prayers and deepest sympathy and consolation. What a talented, dedicated man for principles and achievements and advocacy for political discourse and reforms he was. He never feared to take the truth to others, especially when it had to do with corruption of the governmental or constitutional processes. He achieved so much. I enjoyed whenever he was a guest on shows, especially on "Red Eye"...he was just on with Piers Morgan on CNN for coverage of the Michigan and Arizona Republican primaries Tuesday night Feb. 28, and seemed fine (health wise) at that time. We have lost a giant in the contemporary conservative movement, but his principles and achievements will live on. RIP Andrew, and thanks, thanks so very much, for all you've done for this country and those in the conservative movement. God bless.
As we should be investigating and observing these candidates in action, no matter which one, when they make odd utterances like that (no you're not the only one who thinks what Gov. Romney said was "really weird" and "really odd"), you have to think "If this person gets elected and sworn into office and says things like that now, then likely four years of this, f....o....u....r.........l....o....nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....g........y....e....a....r....s..................." And use that in considering who to vote for. ;-)
How does Mrs. Romney pick which Cadillac to drive, "Eeeny, meeny, miny, moe...?" ;-)
Article says "The charity is being dissolved, and its website has been removed from the internet." Where will the money go?
SNL today vs. the original 1970s cast.... Past time, to pull the plug. Long past time.
Back in the 2008 primary season SNL was truly funny, satirizing how the media fawned all over Obama and almost ignored Hillary by comparison. Four years later SNL is consistently lame.... except for when Betty White was the celebrity host. Back in the 1970s was SNL's best years, best talent, funny sketches. RIP John Belushi and Gilda Radner.
Were Madonna's moves slow so as not to risk making any dance mistakes on live TV? Or is she just getting old and slower? A few years ago The Who sang on stage for half-time, and they couldn't even stay on key. Maybe pre-recorded and lip-synching is the way to go, it sounds better, at least, when your star is aging.
Not that many cable systems have the OWN network, so viewership of these shows is going to be lower just because of that fact alone. There are lots of programming choices on cable and satellite anyway, so viewership will be down for OWN because of that, too. And more and more people are working full-time jobs during the day, so viewership of traditionally daytime-talk-show-type programs will be down anyway just because of that. Add in that maybe it was the hour Rosie and Oprah were on, when they are at their peak as daytime talk show hosts, that caused people to watch them a lot, as well as the fact Rosie and Oprah at that peak period were relatively nicer and apolitical than today. And add in that since their peak viewership-fame periods audiences of that era may have moved on now to other video interests in daytime TV, if they are at home during daytime TV hours anymore. That's when you add on Rosie's and Oprah's political views coming out vs. being mainstream hosts as potentially why their present day ratings are declining as they revive their former talk show careers. It's a new day since Rosie and Oprah had impressive successful ratings. Even on the main networks and local TV affiliate4s it's a new day in syndicated shows, too. You can try to "go back" and recapture what you once had, but audiences can be fickle and change over time and just because you try to reintroduce what you once had doesn't mean audiences will necessarily follow you there.
I only saw four movies in theaters this year: Captain America (saw it because my son wanted to, comic book movies are not my thing anyway), Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (the first movie was best, this one was like more of the same with fewer familiar characters), Cars 2 (I wondered why it got the first Rotten ratings of any Pixar movie at Rotten Tomatoes but went anyway out of loyalty to the usually stellar Pixar legacy, and found it a dull disappointment), and Cowboys and Aliens (I thought under Ron Howard and starring Harrison Ford it would be oddball-funny-campy and found it just oddball). The only movie this Christmas season I'd normally be attracted to is The Muppets, but with Kathy Griffin making a cameo and it being the second of two major Disney films this year to diss oil companies as evil (Cars 2 was the other one, and was overt about it) I'm staying home and reallocating discretionary spending on movies to other household needs instead. We're finding classic or older title movies to watch on cable channels instead, yesterday Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and The Wizard of Oz were on TV.
