What does the "countdown calendar" signify? (A 6 as I write this.)

My guess is the countdown is the daily IQ tally of the bloggers at Ranger Bob's.

Cecelia - your obviously weak analysis skills shock me! You know very well that a "6" would be too high for that!

I love repartee as much as the next guy but WHAT DOES THE 6 MEAN?

FNC: best ever
Krakauer's column closes with, "Whether you’re a fan of the ‘fair and balanced’ or not, it’s an amazing feat."
Bret and Shep rack up best ever quarter ratings with Beck blazing the trail and another group goes after Beck's advertisers.

"the 8pmET landmark show Countdown fared better without regular host Keith Olbermann than with him."
Hee Hee!

Johnny,
Evidently Countdown rated more highly with Lawrence "Psycho" O'Donnell, than with Keith "Jimmylegs" Olbermann!
Sweet!

6 days until it's "Send Ashley a check for $10 Day"! I urge everyone to participate.

Well, if you consider "1" will mark the day, that's Easter Sunday.

I vote for something to do with the love of Johnny's life, Julie Banderas.
Am I getting warm, Johnny?

I figured out the significance of the countdown.
April 5th is the anniversary of Charlton Heston's death. Even after death, Charlton Heston continues to be my one and only president.

Here I am offering dinners and trips to Exile Island and, come to find out, JD has another Julie on the hook. SMH ("shake my head").

She's JB, not JD. She's not a threat to you because she's way too hot/rich/smart for Johnny. You still have a chance!

CNN in a real bad spot as tac left or right will not change current #'s as they won't end up more conservative than Fox or more liberal than Messnbc. They have to hire talent that the folks find interesting & entertaining, right now there is no compelling reasons for an audience to tune in. I am amazed changes at the top have not taken place.
