That was Susan Roesgen, and that exchange happened shortly before the screencap at the top of this article. The lady in her face was trying to confront her about that earlier exchange.

I remember her turning to the camera and saying "50 million dollars", like Joe Isuzu or something.

BTW, she was put on hiatus shortly after that, and her contract wasn't renewed a few months later.

You could say Singer proposes allowing abortion in the 4th trimester.

This is why you should never, NEVER, give any responsibility that should be yours to the government without proper supervision, and then with a whip.

Vouchers are nice, but they don't replace educating your children, or being involved with their education.

They got they guy who voiced the cat in Coraline after Paul Winfield died, but I haven't seen it on air lately.

O wait, that's Kieth David (great voice). And it stopped airing in 2006. I've been away for a while.

Cold Case Files was a favorite. And anything narrated by Bill Kristol.

I would swap Spielberg with Kubrick because Kubrick has had far fewer misses throughout his career. You can even compare the two in the same movie - A.I. You can pick out the portions between the two, and Kubrick's stand up better. It's Spielberg's urge to get schmaltzy as he always does when he films a movie involving kids and the emotionally draining deux ex machina at the end that will keep me from seeing the movie ever again.

I'm with you on Steven Spielberg, not so much with Kubrick - I think all the films I've seen him direct have been great, with the exception of the truly terrible Eyes Wide Shut, but I think it could have been much better without Cruise and Kidman, they deserve their fair share.
Steven absolutely ruined A.I. after taking over from Kubrick after his death. you could pick out the elements between the two; standard Kubrickian emotional bankruptcy vs. Spielberg inevitable instinct to go treacly like nearly all of his films post Jaws.

Within the margin of error, but showing considerable momentum.

I was initially confused with your response until I realized you just can't believe anyone could possibly vote Republican if they were such a diehard Democrat. Therefore they must be lying.

Open your mind, people have political conversions all the time. Just because I can't see myself voting for a Democrat if I can help it now doesn't mean I didn't grow up in a diehard Democrat family and considered myself a Democrat until 1993. I almost voted for Dukakis and did vote for Clinton in 1992. Haven't voted for a Democrat for president since, they were plainly inadequate to the task - and I think this is the problem with Coakley. That commenter sees it. She is a poor Senatorial candidate, no matter if she's won statewide office before. She apparently felt she would take it in a walk and not have to campaign, and Brown's insurgency has caught her flat-footed. She now comes across as shrill and tone-deaf to the electorate, and that's a big bowl of Not Good.

Well, he as the Meritorious Service Medal - decent, but pretty much what you would expect from a JAG in the Reserves. De does have jump wings - meaning he has jumped at least 5 times. No small feat.
30 years is 30 years - you have to want to do it to do it for that long. I doubt that was just to "embellish".
Nice to see you types getting the vapors over a nearly 30 year old Cosmo pictorial. Funny you only do that when it's a Republican. You Democrats have very little credibility when it comes to selling votes lately. Ben Nelson? Mary Landreiux? The union exemption to the "cadillac plan" tax?
Okay, DO run the numbers, you brought it up. FWIW, his opponent hasn't served her country in uniform. Neither did their predecessor.

Comment of the day from the article:

rationalinma wrote:

I was raised by diehard Democrats here in Massachusetts. Since my first (eligible to vote) presidential election I have voted for; Dukakis (1988), Clinton (92&96), Gore (2000), Kerry (2004) and Obama (2008). I have supported both Kennedy and Kerry for the Massachusetts Senators. Never in my life have I anticipated, with such exuberance, the opportunity to cast my vote for Scott Brown next Tuesday.


Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark.
