I don't know about Boston, but there were 15,000 - 20,000 people in Atlanta's, which isn't bad considering it was held in the evening, when most people just want to relax after work.
Keith Olbermann said that the Atlanta Police reported there were about 5000 who showed up. Considering the fact that I can't find any credible news site that is reporting that 15,000 to 20,000 showed up, I would think this to be the truth. If their were huge numbers who turned out anywhere across the country, you can bet Fox would have reveled in reporting it. They haven't. It was a wash out.
If you have a credible, unbiased, and non blog link to the story that 15,000 or more turned out I would be interested in seeing it.

If most of them listen, there will always be me ! And my odds will increase.....hmmm....

Geez Oleg, 40 years ago it finally became OK for women to have sex outside of marriage. Now you're trying to teach men that sex outside of marriage is wrong. What will all of us liberated women do if men listen to you?

This is really strange. Obams has been injecting himself into many different debates that have nothing to do with what the Potus should be personally opining about. The press, in a shocking development, has been eating it up.
You just used to a President who did dick all and couldn't say anything intelligent.

I don't know if they have video to back up their claims.
Back up what claims?

Why did the journalist miss you ask? Because he's as quick on his feet as his mouth is to lie.

Those of us who do not abuse alcohol should now be made to pay more freakin taxes? I am so sick and tired of these idiots who are running the show. This guy is a high profile Doctor. It's not like he has to worry about how much he pays for a bottle of wine. This idiot makes my blood boil!

Harm reduction, combatting drunk driving and even raising the price of alcohol.
Some suggestions from provincial health officer Doctor Perry Kendall in his 2008 'Public health approach to alcohol policy report.'
Kendall says the report, which researches alcohol distribution and consumption since 2002, shows both are up.
So are harmful behaviours....including binge drinking by teens.
He's recommending a five-cent tax on every drink, which would raise up to 100 million dollars for research, prevention and treatment.

Your celebration will have to wait until January. There will be no war crimes trials...at least not until Chretien, Clinton, Blair, Schroeder, and Chirac go first.
Were you with Hannity, crying in the bathroom on the evening of the 4th?

Very happy Obama made it. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the spectacle in Chicago. Very uplifting indeed. Been awhile since the world has had something good to celebrate. What I'm most happy about is NO MORE BUSH/CHENEY!!! Democrats go! And while your at it, nail their asses for war crimes and toss them in the big house for a few years.

Hmmm, wonder if she'll have any job openings in the future?
I'm sure her book will be out in 6 months (sigh). She sounds like she didn't make it past grade 2, so maybe she can't write either. That will be a relief!

I've been to Stonehenge, it may just be a collection of very old and large stones but it exudes a certain aura or power. Hard to say why or what it is but it was almost tangible. Or maybe I was just awe struck when I finally got to see it. I've seen the Pyramids but they just didn't have the same effect on me.
I have been to Stonehenge too and I know just what you are saying about it having a certain aura. I did not expect to experience that. Awe is what I experienced upon my visit to the Tower of London and West Minster Abby etc. I got a completely different feeling at Stonehenge. Hard to explain.

Many people will vote for McCain even though they may disagree with his (Bush) policies and his gimmicky pick for a VP. And they will do it just because they won't vote for an African American. So, if African Americans vote for Obama just because he is African American, that might even up that score. Thank heavens!
-
Sorry, but he made himself look stupid and he paid for that idiotic remark at the polls. Maybe you guys just fell of turnip truck but most Canadians I know haven't.

You don't think that Stephen Harper is intelligent?
Any politician who says the economy is sound right in the middle of a world financial crisis doesn't sound too bright to me.
-
Harper shook his little boys hand instead of bending down to give him a kiss. That one act spoke a thousand words.

Isn't that Sarah's job - to meet other heads of state?
Yeah, they've picked McDonalds for the meetings location.

Obama needs to watch his off mike posture and facial expressions because the camera is still on!
Obama nailed McCain on his statement last week about not meeting with the President of Spain. McCain uttered "bullshit" twice. He needs to watch his off mike statements as the mike is still on.

Star Choice sucks! Their PPV sucks! Their Program Guide sucks!
They used to provide 35 channels on PPV. Now they have about 9 and that changes daily. The program guide is a joke! They give one sentence descriptions about the show and sometimes all you get are the names of who's starring, or "Program Information Is Not Available". I have complained to them about the program guide and they don't bother answering. If you need Tech support, you need to have a lunch handy by the phone. The wait time is ridiculously long!
-
A rehashing of the Carter Administration isn't any kind of "vision". And when you unplug the teleprompter, you unplug his charisma.
McCain should stick to a teleprompter. It might be too far away for him to read though.

"Doing news" is just one part of CBC's operations. I don't doubt that the upper echelons of the CBC are discussing the advent of a new culture of doing things as we speak. The prospect of a Conservative majority government will do that.
If Harper gets a majority Government, that will be the end of CBC. Gone, toast, buh bye!

Barack Obama is not "black"./quote]
You go tell that to all those folks who live in Appalachia.

Stevoh...this is most sensible explanation of the flaws in the American system that I have read to date. Even better than Michael Moore could explain it. I don't think he had the true knowledge of how our system works to make a comprehensive comparison.

I agree, we do have our problems. I still prefer not having to mortgage my house for heart surgery or whatever, just so an insurance company can get rich when they turn down my claim because I had a hang nail 10 years ago.

Keith Olbermann will be late to the game, just like he was when they canned his ass from ESPN for being a tool.
Not everybody gets their political news from the Internet. Thanks to the right wing MSM, the only place on TV where 'others" can see this appropriate protest against Palin will be on Olbermann, whose ratings have greatly increased over the last year. This is due to the fact that he is now exposing Bush Co. and all the rest of the Republican good ol boys. (and now good ol girls)

The man she was trying to interview shouted her down and would not answer her question about the fact that Americans are now eligible to receive a $400 rebate. They were protesting tax laws implemented by the Republicans. Doh!
Shouting everybody down is the Republican way, unless they are being interviewed on Fox News because nobody there asks the tough questions. Desperadoes!
