Re: "Dude, where's my car?": I'm not sure who to side with on this one.
Re: "Un-Cool": I shouldn't be surprised. The last time I saw LL Cool J on FNC, he was on "F&F" on Super Bowl Sunday last year. He was given a red FNC jacket, he put it on and said "I feel conservative" two times. It was live TV and I'd put it in Lee Camp/Montel Williams territory of interview hijacking or ambushing or whatever you call it.

I have to side with the victims b/c they were victims and all lost a minimum of $125.00, perhaps more depending on their circumstances.
Even if it was a college prank I'm a firm believer that if you want to play silly, vicious childish games you have to be prepared to pay the price if you get caught.
If it was a political dirty trick that goes double.
Either way I do hope the local authorities make an effort and hopefully catch whoever was responsible and charges them with the maximum allowed by law.
If the same scam was done at an Obama rally what do you think the media reaction would have been?-

I always enjoy reading Colmes' responses to his hate mail. One of the hate mailers said the President was "dumm". Reminds me of little John T who once discussed our "stupity" and once accused us of being "stupis". Thanks for the link J$.

Re: "The McVeigh tapes": I won't discount the MSNBC documentary, but I will ask this: what are the odds that someone involved with said doc will appear on "Countdown" to preview it?
Re: "Good luck, Jules!": I echo that.

The headline and introductory paragraph/s led me to believe that they were airing his official confession.
Read further and we learn that MSNBC is going to present two hours (less with commercials and interviews) culled from 45 hours of taped interviews with Rachel Maddow in charge. I think I'll pass on this and only watch it in reruns after hearing from those whose opinions I respect whether it is worth my time and effort.

Rachel Maddow in charge...huh?
Yep...this is an attempt to link tea party protesters with domestic terrorists.

"...offers insight into how a decorated American soldier became a dangerous, anti-government terrorist."
I think I can see how this will go down.

Good luck, Jules, indeed!
And afterwards, do a magazine spread so that we can see your baby and your nursery design.
(and tell Megyn she needs to do the same)

Do you all really think Johnny Dollar would shut down his blog and leave us News Hounders in peace? Ain't happenin' . . . .

No. I'm thinking comment system overhaul. Possibly site overhaul as well.

I know the mystery of the countdown. I wrote a poem on day "6" giving hints but echo ate it.

I do have another theory though it is a branch of my original thesis. Monday Johnny Dollar will close down the Dollar place and start writing as an internet columnist on the Newshounds website!!!! Sez you heard it here first from the original Son of Blackflon.
