Before premiering Cheers (Drink to That) music video,Rihanna unveiled an official sneak peek to the clip. The red-haired singer, who is currently taking a vacation from herLoud tour, revealed on Twitter that she is going to debut the video in full on iTunes sometime very soon.

Its scheduled 4 today(Wed) but due to the evacuation of some businesses yest,Nike Air force. Nike soccer shoes it may have delayed it a bit so 2day R 2mo, Riri wrote. Prior to that nike air max shoes, she proudly shared to her followers that the single is climbing to No. 6 on the digital song chart. What 6th single could do this wirihanna musicth no video or promo..tell me, she posted.

Judging from the teaser, the video might feature footage of her live performance during one of her 2011 tour stops. Her applying make-up on the dressing room and people chanting her name are some of the scenes shared in the sneak peek.

LeBron James has rented six cabanas at the W Hotel South Beach this weekend to celebrate his team decision, two sources confirm toUsMagazine-.

That adds more fuel to the fire that James Nike Air force, 25, will announce hes joining the Miami Heat Thursday night, as several insiders toldESPN this morning. (Hes still confirmed to attend NBA star Carmelo Anthonys Saturday-night wedding to former MTV VJ LaLa Vazquez in NYC.)

The basketball great will make his announcement from the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich, Conn. Thursday night during an hourlong sports special called The Decision, to be aired on ESPN at 9 P.M. ET. Proceeds from commercial sales will be donated to the club.

If James goes to the Heat (where hed play alongside All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh), hed likely take a $30 million pay cut, ESPN reported. His current team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, has offered him a six-year,Nike soccer cleats $128 million contract, while Miami would sign him to a five-year deal worth $99 million.

Both the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets (who are relocating to Brooklyn) have been wooing James as well, with campaigns starring everyone from Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Jay-Z, a Nets part-owner.

Joked Diddy on Twitter Wednesday night, Breaking news!!! Lebron signs with the Knicks!! I just saw him leaving the knicks owners house!!! He lives next door to me! Lets go NYC.

itaska massie If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed it..The residence of Cleveland and the team owner acting as if KING JAMES did not give them the best success that that city has ever had . Regardless of where he plays, He is a credit to the state of Ohio. They have only proved what we all learn at some point in our life …that no matter what you do for people it will never be enough. Now KING JAMES knows that he made the right decision !! I am a KOBE BRYANT n and if he were in this type of a situation , I would never act in such a ungrateful way. Father forgive them for they no not what they do. TASHA in TEXAS

Jim Looks like LeBron took the easy way out to me. Taking on the challenge of winning a title for his hometown in Cleveland would have been worth several championships with the new, stacked Big Three in Miami. He should have stayed the course in Cleveland, and his popularity would continue to soar, which automatically increaseMovies-TVs his income with more endorsements!

Reggie Lebron James gave 7 years of blood, sweat, and tears to the city of Clev. and this is how the ns and owner Dan Gilbert thanks him???? He deserves a better class of ns Nike mercurial vapor superfly, and he will get that in South Beach. Long live King James.

kim Good for him!!! The Cavs did not deserve to keep him after Dan Gilberts statement!! What a sore loser!! Lebron will have much success in Miami!!!

Well, he took the pay cut I dont even like or watch basketball but for some reason, I have a huge desire to see the Miami Heat lose badly. Just stacking the deck with the best available players doesnt guarantee championships; look how many years the Yankees did that but came up empty. I dont expect it to happen but how sweet would it be if the Cavaliers won next year?!

Brianna I am a BIG BIG BIG…. n of of Lebron james, and I think he should stay in cleveland because he would have more pt there than in Miami.Also he will get more money there. But were ever he goes he should be happy,and his ns will,nike air max shoes. or should be happy. 1. n

richie This story is a lie because its been reported all week that this week he will be in NY for Melos Wedding!!!!

PartyKing Thats cool and all, but The W is so lame. If he wants to play for El Heat, he needs to start acting like he knows his stuff. Come back to me when LeBron rents out space at club BED and rubs elbows with A-LIsters like DJ Khaled.

Lebron James Story was picked up from Coopers Pick NBA Blog and now its getting notoriety on yahoos homepage as coming from us magazine. Where is the justice in this world?

LBJ_Fan you guys are such morons. dont you realize this is yet another publicity stunt to throw you off ????

JVI1979 LeBrick is one UGLY Looking DUDE! Kobe and Jordan at least had some game with the ladies, this guy has nothing. WINLESS!

Route19 My gut tells me that Miami isnt as sure as it is being reported. LeBron has kept things pretty quiet the whole time, and now theres a leak the day hes going on TV to make the announcement? Are you going to watch? Im polling: /

Chart Did you credit the source who you got this from: ???? Like how you try to block people from posting the link to the original story also.

Brian Vander Ark – Magazine

Brian Vander Ark – Magazine

Based on the melancholy nature of his first three solo releases,Brian Vander Ark has been through enough already.  Resurrection, Angel, Put Your Face On, and his self-titled third album are all tremendous albums in their own right, but they also tended to be downcast in their content, with few moments of humor or fun thrown in.  His newest album, Magazine is the exact opposite.  From its funny album cover, to the tracks contained therein, Magazine is Vander Ark&8217;s funnest solo album to date. It comes on the heels of the recently released Verve Pipe reunion, A Family Album; a release -ed to kids, with some winks thrown in for parents.  The sheer fun that comes from singing a song about cereal, has clearly rubbed off on Magazine.

Teaming with med producer, Bill Szymczyk, Mr. Vander Ark humor magazinehas succeeded in a charming, poppy, and thoroughly enjoyable album.  Opening pair &8220;Seems to Be&8221; and &8220;No Getting Over You&8221; are a fine representation of the album.  Overly dramatic piano,Nike mercurial vapor superfly glowing harmonies,  and Vander Ark&8217;s impassioned pleading on &8220;Seems to Be&8221; segues right into &8220;No Getting Over You&8221; which is all bouncy and joyous in its sound and lyrical content.  &8220;Independence Day&8221; is a poppy number too, reminiscent of Crowded House. Despite never reaching the heights of his major label debut with the Verve Pipe, Vander Ark can still write a helluva hook.  &8220;Miracle Mile&8221; is a slow acoustic love song with a nice muted vibe &8211; a welcome change of pace that shows caring in the production.  &8220;Into My Arms&8221; is perhaps the best song on the album and is easily as catchy as anything Vander Ark has ever done.  &8220;Gotta get you outta my head/Off of my mind/ Into my arms&8221; sums up the yearning theme simply, but effectively.

&8220;Michigan Coast to Coast&8221; is a name checking Nike Air force, rollicking tribute to the Wolverine State.  And what could come out as hackneyed and ke in lesser hands, thrives in Vander Ark&8217;s.  His tongue is planted firmly in cheek nike air max shoes, but his affection for the state is honest.  &8220;On the Day I Fell&8221; is a moving piano-led tribute to Vander Ark&8217;s wife and features some very soulful singing.  &8220;My Little Town&8221; is the big dramatic anthem that have become plentiful over his solo career.  Written with Jeff Daniels (the actor and part time musician), its affecting tale of pride and loss is a winner.  &8220;Red Letter Days&8221; is a great closer, opening with synthesized percussion and buzzes before Vander Ark begins his tale of renewal.  It builds slowly to a crescendo and ends slowly thereafter, not overstaying its welcome.

Magazine is a different kind of album for Brian Vander Ark.  It&8217;s more joyous, and yet like the rest of his solo catalogue it is filled with quality songs that sound great together.  His debut Resurrection was a mostly contemplative album filled with lost loves, regret, and death.  Personal vorite, Angel, Put Your Face On was even more dour with a jab at the right wing thrown in with the aforementioned themese.  And his self-titled album featured a song about a murderous hitchhiker and 9/11.  But Magazine is filled with true love, positivity, and renewal.  It is as good as anything he has done.

Coldplay are doing a song with Rihanna, Coldplay are doing a song with Rihanna, Coldplay are doing a song with Rihanna, Coldplay are oh you get the point, but how exciting is that?  Its undoubtedly going to be the best track of the past twenty years and will appeal to every human on earth because, well, how can it not?

Have you heard a song by either Coldplay or Rihanna recently,  just think about that for a second and when youve recovered look outside and say, Hurricane what?

While youre stuck inside until the 24

of October waiting for the worst titled album the Bono School of Charity Rock has ever released and youre trying not to get snapped like a twig in your now wishy-washy coastal town then why not look at some of these musical videos while nestled in your duvet drinking hot chocolate, its what were doing.

Everybodys vourite half of the most credible pseudo novelty act around has just releaseda cheap new video for his second track before doing a solo tour. In his first solo video Scroobius Pip shaved his hair off and cut his iconic beard and now well never know if it was true because the sanctimonious misanthrope has only gone replaced himself with a tattooed lady. In ct there are three ladies here, the other two representing P.O.S and Sage Francis, they are all terrible actors.  Or, maybe its the cheap looking video, but hey fellas got a budget to stick to.  The songs good though, plus hes lovely and political and all that other stuff you vacuous idiots enjoy.

Sticking with the rap thing weve started, lets move swiftly from clever to ironic parody and look at the new Das Racist video for Michael Jackson.

Look at them, just look at those three, they have no idea what they are doing and yet somehow they manage to make a video that is a perfectly acceptable level of tacky and crass. It looks a bit like a toddlers toy box was sick on a green screen and then Das Racist rubbed it on themselves while filming the results.  For a group who founded their career on mockery it makes perfect sense that they have a song about MJ that simultaneously rips the rug out from under the feet of politics, religion, commerce, defence, and pop culture.  Its just what they do.

Okay.  Now is the time for your to get in your duvet because the next video is the best thing we have witnessed in about ten minutes and its going to stay that way for at least another twenty while we hate ourselves for not having bothered to jump on the Los Campesinos! bandwagon sooner.  There video for By Your Hand features E.T,Nike Air force. lots of cats, a horde of

&8230;s that arent even Barbie,Nike soccer shoes but probably Cindy, Polly, and Shelley, her male counterparts action man, Ken, G.I Joe nike air max shoes, and lonely Ginger doll are also present.  Its brain curdlingley twee and even while someone is gently hammering a nail through their steak aorta its hugging your heart like that Red or Black contestant is his money.  If you dont feel just a little bit happier after seeing this then the number for Samaritans is at the bottom, but you should probably just give up anyway.  If music videos were items of clothing then this would be a woolly jumper.Treasure it.

If the sub-zero/tropical climate outside has not subsided yet then call yourself a meteorologist because were going home, you cant rely on music videos forever you junkie. Besides its like October 24th in jusrihanna musict over a month and we have to prepare ourselves.

Really were still thinking about Princess Of China (Google it.)

As promised here are the numbers for Samaritans:

UK: 08457 90 90 90

ROI: 1850 60 90 90

WORLD OF COOL

Thanks to talked-about performances fromAdam Lambert,Lady Gaga andRihanna and wins by the lateMichael Jackson and country superstarTaylor Swift, the American Music Awards drew its strongest audience in seven years.

According to Nielsen estimates, the awards show drew 14.2 million viewers, which is 2 million more than last years program and represents the best showing by the AMAs since 2002.

Though NBC still won the night with Sunday Night Football, ABC pulled ahead during the 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. hours. The strong numbers for the show were boosted, no doubt, by the promise of more than 20 performances from some of musics biggest acts, including Jay-Z, Green Day, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Eminem with 50 Cent, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston.

In the end, though, it was Lambert who made the biggest headlines, with his aggressively panual performance of the title track from his major-label debut, For Your Entertainment. In addition to drawing more than1,500 complaints from viewers who took issue with the man-on-man kissing, girl dragging and S&M play,Lamberts awards-show coming-out party lost him at least one gig when ABCs Good Morning America announced Tuesday (November 24) that it hadcanceled his planned appearance due to the controversy kicked up by the AMAs.

Lambert took it all in stride, though,telling American Idol host Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Tuesday that he respects the GMA decision. They gotta do what they gotta do, Lambert said. Its too bad. I think there were a lot of ns who were excited to come see me. They probably had a lot of pressure coming at them from certain people who werent happy about it. I respect their decision. I dont necessarily agree with it, but they need to do what they need to do.

Lambert, who lamented what he perceives as a double standard when it comes to risqu&233; performances by men and women in music, said he felt no need to apologize for his AMA debut. I dont feel I owe anyone an apology for anything, he said. I performed, it was late-night TV, I did something that female performers have been doing for years, no different. Its just the ct that Im me and its a little different for people. Its really not that big of a deal. Im not a babysitter, Im a performer.

this performance sucked…..n that shoving someones ce into ur crotch is not at all entertaining wats so ever ..it was jus a bit too much n the singing was horriable as well

Adam Lambert has all ready proven himself as one of the great singers. Every performer at the Nokia had sound problems. I had never heard Keith Urban or Daughtry sound so pitchy. Only the lip syncers sounded okay. His performance had the most detail and was choreographed. I have no problem with the girl drag or the guys on a leash or any other part of his routine. The women got away with a lot more that night. Janet Jackson bent over her male dancer and simulated butt play. Alicia Keys simulated oral her dancer to her in their number. Rhianna wore a strap S&M cat suit that let her breasts show and sang with a crotch strap on. The double standards in the music industry are ridiculous. Go Adam. Your music video is excellent and your CD is a huge hit.

SHOW had best year NOT because people suddenly tuned in to see what Lambert was doing – THEY TUNED it because they wanted to hear his vocals nike air max shoes,Nike soccer shoes hear some of his new stuff , as well as Rihannas Lambert took a wonderful opportunity and BLEW IT. BUT heres my real rant and rave — First of all thought Lamberts performance was horrible, not because of what he did, it was JUST BAD – bad vocals, bad song! Second, the kiss wasnt so bad, it was the other stuff. Being gay isnt about , but perormancers like this tell people it is and sets us back years. Supposedly he was acting out the song lyrics, but his vocals and the song were SO BAD rihanna musicnobody really got this. Lambert should NEVER NEVER be compared to such greats as Elvis. Elvis was a natural performer not a forced, look at me broadway performer like Lambert.

Oh,Nike Air force. pooh pooh. Adam Lambert has not done anything so bad to deserve to be canceled from any network show. My God people. Our society has allowed NAKED woman to be displayed in magazines and on movies. Its ok to see two woman make out, be naked or scantily clad without anyone a fuss. Marilyn Manson has done a whole lot worse (whom I LOVE) than anything that Adam did on AMA. He is an ARTIST and ENTERTAINER, he is to create, and he is to be watched and listened to for ENTERTAINMENT. So, if his performance was DISGUSTING to YOU, then WHY DID YOU WATCH?? So you have something to complain about? Some people are only happy when they make other people miserable. That is what I HAVE to say about the whole thing.

YOU MUST READ THE LA TIMES ARTICLE. It is bulous because it puts the AMA performance in perspective. It mentions Elvis (his hips were blocked), the Doors (who sang about drugs and werent invited back), Kurt Cobain, and other rockers who pushed the envelope and survived. Everyone should read that article, and they will see what is really happening here. Adam is just being a rocker, he is being himself. He really ISNT a gay icon, hes not trying to be. Did you see his professional music video version of For Your Entertainment on his my space music yet? ITS AWESOME. It really shows what he was trying to do. It IS art. You have to watch it. I initially had a negative response FIRST when I saw the AMA performance, but after having read the LA Times article and seeing the real music video, my mind is changed. Adam, You ARE A GENIUS!!!!

Let me prece my comment by saying that Im gay, and enjoy celebrating in the artistic expression and achievements of others. However, I found nothing entertaining nor artistic about Mr. Lamberts vulgar performance on the American Music Award which was further overshadowed by his over exaggerated make-up. It appeared to be nothing more than a juvenile display of ual immaturity and insecurity, not worth watching.

Adam Rocks!!! Thank goodness CBS has picked him up to perform in the morning on the Early Show!! ABC are fools to drop him after only -0 complaints and 14.2 million viewers. GMAs lose!!! I dont respect their decision at all, but as always Adam is nice about it. He is a good guy and people are blind not to realize that.

Next year, I expect to see Glambert at the AMAs, naked except for a truss, nipple clamps and a extender. If all its about is an aggressively panual performance, why not? Bring it!

City on film: Contagion, left, was a big-budget movie that shot scenes in The City. (Courtesy photo)

Hollywood actor sightings, movie-extra auditions and production jobs are on the rise in San Francisco, a promising sign as The City has spent years trying to breathe life into the film industry.

There was a 26 percent increase in film activity such as commercials, feature movies and television series last fiscal year compared to the year before, a trend the Film Commission hopes continues.

The filming activity included eight feature films such as Philip Kaufmans Hemingway & Gellhorn, which based production in The City, and Steven Soderberghs Contagion, starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law. Also included were the final episodes of the NBC television series Trauma, which Movies-TVwas canceled.

Film Commission Executive Director Susannah Robbins has set a goal this year of landing another television series. She would not reveal any details, only saying, There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

Movie,Nike soccer cleats TV and commercial productions in San Francisco mean jobs, a cash infusion to the local economy and a tourism boost when The Citys iconic images are broadcast or shown on the silver screen. Last fiscal year, film productions spent $56.23 million on labor, hotel stays, supplies and other costs, and $-,500 for city permit fees.

In 2006, The City initiated a film rebate program in an attempt to lure more TV and movie productions to San Francisco. Under the program, productions can receive a rebate on city fees, including up to four police officers, which cost $1,200 a day, $1,000 for use of a Muni trademark, film permit fees of $300 per day and payroll taxes. A rebate could not exceed $600 Nike soccer shoes,000. Trauma received $164,276 in a rebate for four episodes last fiscal year.

Im sure some people will complain, Why are we giving money away to Hollywood? Robbins said. But, were giving back money they already spent, and the money they spend locally r exceeds any rebate they would receive, she said.

Supervisor Mark Farrell has proposed expanding The Citys film rebate program to include documentary films and reality TV programming such as cooking or adventure shows. Farrells proposal comes before the Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Committee on Wednesday.

Robbins said the proposal is driven by interest, such as the possibility of a $5 million Nike Air force, 12-episode documentary series the focus of which she wouldnt reveal. Also, she said reality shows have grown into big-budget productions.

The legislation would also slash the $300-a-day film permit fee to $100 for small-budget films.

Alexa Fraser-Herron, general manager of Scary Cow, an indie-film co-op in San Francisco, said the proposal can only be good. She said indie filmmakers often rush scenes without permits to avoid getting in trouble, but with the lower fee will pay it and have the time to shoot a stronger scene. Small businesses stand to benefit too by winding up in shots of these indie films that are shown in film festivals around the world,nike air max shoes. she said.

HOWIE CARR: You see how youcan tie yourself in knots when you begin to say one law is going to be enforcedbut another law is not going to be enforced.

"That should be illegal!"

"Inciting violence already is.

Didn&39;t you know that?"

Apparently our Government, under the Obama administration, does not seem to know or care about that. There are countless examples of direct and overt statements calling for civil war which are very well within the legal definition of "Making a terrorist threat".

These people should have been arrested a long time ago, especially since the brainwashed, hate filled masses would not have been that demented several years ago-it takes repetition of propaganda to push people over the edge.

Now that nothing&39;s been done to quell these terrorists in gestation, this administration has painted itself into a corner. If it starts doing the right thing it could detonate the psychotic masses of Foxian puppets.

If nothing is done, these psychos can, and eventually will, self-detonate. And doing nothing seems to be the conscious decision of those in charge.

It seems that our government&39;s philosophy is: If you ignore them, they will go away. This is probably based on the tactic of deliberately ignoring a blustering individual on the assumption that he only wants attention. So, if he&39;s ignored, he&39;ll get tired of his act.

The problem with that type of thinking is that we are not dealing with a blustering individual-a single loudmouth. Instead, we are dealing with a collective group of tens of millions. They don&39;t need to beat their chests in front of everyone. That&39;s because they are their own audience.

We have reached a critical mass where there is simply too much dry tinder in a dry forest. The civil war these terrorists want will become a self fulfilling prophecy.

I suggest that everyone here plan their lives accordingly.

I&39;m curious as to what exactly you think is going to happen.

(As a side, how is this any different than any other doomsayer out there?)

I never got why Howie Carr hated Whitey Bulger so much; they have a very simidry humor definitionlar attitude about human life.

I remember seeing a commercial way back in the mid- to late-90s where it showed people buying concert tickets, paying bills, checking their bank balance, and watching live baseball games, all on the "World Wide Web". I remember how to narrative to the expanding powers of the Internet were touted as a means to retrieve knowledge at the speed of light, where internet speeds would one day allow an entire web page to load in a fraction of a second, where school kids could have a world of knowledge at their fingertips, where advances in science, medicine, and other technologies would become available to anybody, anywhere, at any time. It was going to be an information revolution the likes of which the world couldn&39;t possibly imagine.

What happened instead? Dumb people learned to use the Internet. But not just any dumb people, dumb people with dangerous ideas, and a whole plethora of emotional problems where violence is often their only response. These dumb people then found each other, started talking on message boards, and started coalescing into a blob of vitriolic anger, mixed with the nationalism, racism, and xenophobia of old, and steeped in a teacup until certain politicians started paying attention, cleaning up the delivery of the message (but not the content,Nike soccer shoes or spirit of the message), and started taking over our nation&39;s government.

Video may have killed the radio star, but the Internet will kill America.

People like that have always existed 100 years ago, they exist now, and I see no reason why they won&39;t exist in the future. This can be considered a flaw of democratic governments where a person is promoted solely based on popularity.

I honestly think you&39;re being too dramatic.

That is just my 2 cents, I just had to say it. Sorry :(

Fascinating. I think people who are cheerfully speaking of their intent to murder other human beings have kind of waived the right not to be insulted.

I meant in a sense of overgeneralization. Imbecile spoke of "dumb people with dangerous ideas."

I&39;ve never been into mocking or insulting anyone. I&39;m too nice for that. :P

I&39;m glad you&39;re not too taken back from my note.

I think people (especially those in politics) have a bad habit of taking themselves too seriously.

"I meant in a sense of overgeneralization. Imbecile spoke of "dumb people with dangerous ideas.""

At any given time 14 million people per week are listening to Rush Limbaugh and you think it is a overgeneralization? The United States has a virtual corner on the market for repubtard morons. These same morons all have access to the internet.

""dumb people with dangerous ideas."" is a perfect description of ux viewers.

There are a lot of and stupid people in the America. There are 77 million Americans with an IQ under 89. Over 46 million Americans do not have at least a high school diploma. All of these people watch ux, IMHO.

This link shows the percentages of Americans at any given level of IQ:

This link shows the total population at 308 million.

The first link tells us the percentage of Americans belwo 89 IQ is 25%. Multiple 308 million by 25% and you get 77 million. The below link from Business Week magazine tells us that at 85% of Americans have a high school education, thus 15% do not. Multiple 15% by 308 million and you get 46.2 million without a high school education.

If you just inlude over 18 Americans nike air max shoes, there are 34.5 million Americans without a high school education and 57.5 million Americans over 18 with an I.Q. under 89. I am sure they all watch ux nooze (My speculation)

It is important to understand the WHY, but that doesn&39;t mean we have to humor them and give them legislative power while we unravel the clinical mysteries of their emotions and ignorance.

Yes, dumb people have always exist, but 100 years ago, if they wanted to commiserate with one another, they had to walk, or figure out how to ride a horse, and even then, they could only travel so r, thus limiting their infection of dumb ideas to only those within a days&39; travel.

Today, however, they don&39;t even have to put pants on to do that same thing.

Where we once only had one or two angry souls bemoaning emancipation on someone&39;s front porch, we now have nearly every last one of them hunting and pecking their malapropisms, misspellings, and mutated thoughts into one cacophony of idiot outrage. The idiocy is laughable; the effects to our national discourse, and the influence they wield over politicians desperate for a new block of previously unexploited voters is not.

The idiocy is laughable; the effects to our national discourse, and the influence they wield over politicians desperate for a new block of previously unexploited voters is not.

If thier so-called &39;idiocy&39; is popular and it gets politicians votes then nothing else matters.

Those that are politically astute are the minority, and minorities don&39;t win elections.

That thinking runs afoul of the constitution, which is what actually matters, because it specifically prohibits mob rule, otherwise known as majority rule.

Ah, I&39;m glad you bought that up.

Everyone has a different idea of what the constitution "should" be. That includes the man on the street and SC justices, so I don&39;t think that is entirely effective.

Neither. (as I&39;m not entirely sure what those are.)

However, I&39;m just always curious as to others think.

For example, if a Republican and/or Libertarian gets up and says something that alot of people agree with. (even something you think is stupid) Isn&39;t how that democracy is supposed to work?

That is how democracy works. But we&39;re not a democracy. We&39;re a Representative Federal Republic. We are bound by law Nike mercurial vapor superfly, not people. We adhere to the constitution, not the whims of the vocal idiocracy.

That sounds like a lot of nonsense to me.

Those who are the most vocal and loudest will always gain the most influence in any government. Especially when so many voters are apathetic like they are now.

How do you know alot of people agree with something.

There are people paid to promote talking points using multiple identities. How do you isolate the paid opinions?

The case of around a hundred of these paid wingnuts dominating a news site, has no equivilent on the left.

Imbecile has made a call of stupid, towards individuals and groups, after presenting an argument. Our trolls respond with insults, lies, and an astonding inability to understand the written english language.

Others agree because the choice of scapegoats leaves them with no responsibilty for the problem and a chance to exercise their ux righteous anger at the scapegoat "others."

There are several regular posters who identitfy themselves as conservative and post well.

The teaparty rates currently as less popular than either muslims or atheists. Yet whose opinions dominate, and are given cresidence, by our media.

You acutally bring up a good point. If the Tea Party is so detested then how come they get all this media attention? I&39;m sure everyone here knows why.

However, I think should be able to use thier money as they see fit so if they want to give thier money to do something worthless it&39;s thier loss.

I&39;ve listened to Howie on & off for years. This example from the "chump line" is pretty much the tone of a lot of the comments that get recorded & played. And Howie&39;s response, typical as well.

BTW, if Howie finds out MMFA covered this, he will wear this thread like a badge of honor. I&39;m gonna try to listen to his program [volume low] on my computer. I&39;ll let ya all know if he mentions this.

It&39;s a nautilus shell!

That&39;s my answer to everything I don&39;t have an answer for from now on. LOL!

I haven&39;t seen Miz JJ here for a while hope her bike ride went well.

Were you safe and dry from the storm?

Thanks for keeping us posted regarding Howie, Jeter. For some reason I couldn&39;t play the above.

It&39;s a nautilus shell!

Ha! That can be our little inside joke ;-)

We were fine up this way, periodic heavy rain, some wind, but hardly hurricane force but we did lose power for about 6hrs. But up here losing electricity is a irly common occurrence whenever it rains, snows or the wind blows. It&39;s mostly an annoyance. Basically our power company, National Grid svcks. If they&39;d trim overhanging branches before storms so they wouldn&39;t break & take down power lines, it would go a long way in improving the situation. A lot of folks have invested in a generator, thus r we&39;ve held off, but we&39;re now seriously talking about it…

I haven&39;t seen Miz Julia around. Was she still gonna do that bike ride even with her recent bout with dizzy spells?

I&39;m listening to Howie on & off here, but thus I&39;ve haven&39;t heard him mention of this thread on MMFA. Maybe I&39;ll shoot him off an e-mail ;-)

He&39;s talking mostly about Obama&39;s uncle. Did you hear about that? Seems he got arrested up here in Massachusetts. Guy was drunk & driving. And he allegedly said he wanted to call the White House. Ha!I&39;ll find a link when I get a second.

Now see, you were probably one of those Conservatives (or was it the Tea Party) that refused to fill out your census form. If you had the Utility Co., county, or someone would have made those improvements by now. Ha-ha

Seriously, there are lots of folks in this area that think the the only purpose for the census is so Gobber-net can spy on us.

I&39;m glad you were spared the worst of that storm. I saw on another thread,Nike Air force. that you or your area, weren&39;t always that lucky regarding disaster. Probably a good idea to invest in a generator. Now days they even make quiet ones.

The "Chump Line" is Howie&39;s lame attempt at the "Whiner Line" done by WEEI, WRKO&39;s sports AM station in Boston. In ct, the caller on this message usually calls into the Whiner Line and is known for being dumb.

That being said, the caller did this tongue-in-cheek, but the producers were pretty much in the wrong to play it. Naturally, Howie let it slide, much like how his show has slid into the crapper.

F off, Howie!

I have listened on and off to Howie Carr&39;s program. Mostly just to hear what the other side is thinking and talking about. I did happen to hear this particular broadcast.

80% of Howie&39;s program, of late, deals with him bashing undocumented immigrants, "illegals" as he calls them. The balance of his program involves him shilling for his Cadillac dealer buddy in Woburn, from whom he gets a free car to drive around.
