• O’Reilly to Beck on Saudi National Story: ‘We’re Always Willing to Give You a Hearing’

  April 26, 2013 at 3:19pm

  I don’t have cable TV so I’m getting everything via my Roku and PC. I hear comments my dad makes about Fox News, and I’m losing respect for them. I do have the Fox News app. I don’t like how the handled the moment of silence for the Boston bombing. We got ads instead of silence while CNN showed images of Boston. O’Reilly is coming across as more arrogant. I can’t watch his video clips anymore. Megyn Kelly and Hannity are the only ones I like now. I hear more of Hannity’s radio show than his TV show. My dad is only watching Fox News because the other channels are too liberal for him. My mom has switched to CNN.

  I would get them The Blaze but they sometimes get lost while trying to use their PC. As for a Roku, my dad is lost using the on demand on DirecTV – just moving the cursor around to highlight options. They need The Blaze as a channel.

  I wonder how many of the trolls here really work for the current administration in some capacity. The number of trolls or at least number of screen names seems to have increased.

• ESPN Sources: Two NASCAR Drivers Advised Not to Do Interviews in Media Center to Avoid Appearing With NRA Logo

  April 13, 2013 at 3:10pm

  I don’t know who’s racing in this, but I did find this page – http://nraracing.org/ It looks as if some drivers donate space on their cars for the NRA. No NRA sponsorship for cars or drivers.

  I’ve never been to a race, and work often interfered with my being able to attend any races. I have enjoyed watching the races the few random times I saw a broadcast. (I rarely know what’s going on with any sports so never really know what’s on TV. Glenn might know more than I do.)

  This might kill my desire to ever attend races at PIR. I don’t know if they have any non-NASCAR races there.

• Why Is Retail Giant Target Trying to Scan Your Driver’s License for This Seemingly Simple Purchase?

  March 19, 2013 at 12:07pm

  I remember going to a bar that would scan your driver’s license. I was already known there so my license was never scanned. For them, it was to make sure it wasn’t a fake ID.

  I understand the concerns, but it could be this simple. If they can scan it, it’s an additional level of security to check for a fake ID. Target hasn’t given me any problems with promotional stuff, but I also don’t have a card with them.

  The Walmarts near me are a headache – not enough cashiers. I have heard the front end managers complain about the cashiers not being scheduled. I have to go out of my way to a store with less traffic or stand in line for 10-15 minutes (seriously).

• Sequestration Is Upon Us: Now What?

  In reply to PIGSWILLNEVERFLY.

  Some of the Phoenix local guys have been saying it too. (92.3 KTAR in Phoenix) It seems all or most of their daily shows have discussed it a few times this week. Beck explained the cuts on one of his shows earlier this week. Rush isn’t the only one talking about it.

• Whole Foods Pulls Chicken Ad Featuring Drawing of…Obama

  Last summer, a black woman was promoting watermelon at an Albertsons. Was I supposed to be offended? She seemed happy.

• Time Warner Cable Enacts Its Own ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban

  In reply to ErinLindsey.

  I also have Cox but no cable TV service. I just have internet and phone with them. I love my Roku and XBox. I mainly watch Amazon Instant Video, Crackle, BlazeTV (not available on XBox), and because I have a Zune HD (still works), most of my purchased videos were from Microsoft but Amazon has many of the same videos available. Also add an antenna for local channels.

  I don’t miss cable/satellite TV at all.

• College Student Granted Restraining Order Against Own Parents for Being Overbearing — But Wait Until You Hear the Details

  December 28, 2012 at 3:56pm

  I fully understand her situation. I’m 43, and my dad is STILL a helicopter parent and overly critical (which he is blind to and refuses to acknowledge). If I ask for help, he shoves me out of the way and takes over.

  I was a spoiled brat who was never allowed to handle my own problems until I starting hiding them from him. If he knew about it, he’d take over and fix it for me. Naturally, I repeated mistakes until I had to deal with them myself. Being bailed out doesn’t help the child learn any form of responsibility. There still needs to be some consequences. If he paid off MY debt, I should have to pay him back in some way. Until I was able to move out on my own again, he would talk about how I never had to pay any bills. He failed to mention he refused any help from me. I’d leave a few hundred under his wallet and it would sit there for weeks.

  Also, by not handling things myself, I wasn’t confident in how well I could handle things on my own. (I sometimes think my dad wants this so I’d never be able to leave him and he can remain dominant.) It took years to build myself up – with zero help from others. At 43, I feel as if I’m experiencing what most people have at 25.

  He still tries to control what he can in my life, and I’ve set boundaries. He doesn’t understand why. He’s blind to his actions. We can’t discuss it without him getting overly defensive.

  Did you mean “grammar?”

• ‘The Simpsons’ Tries to Explain the Fiscal Cliff: It’s About Giving the Rich ‘All the Money’

  December 5, 2012 at 1:01pm

  I get annoyed each time I read comments on a Simpsons clips (and many times comments in general).

  1. Mr. Burns has always been like this. He wanted to bypass laws when loaning Homer money for Lisa’s pony. He’d release the hounds on anyone asking him for money. He has a trap door in front of his desk. Someone gets injured on the job – just give him a fruit basket or a ham and send him home. This fits the character perfectly – even if this was 20 years ago.

  2. Everyone wants to ignore the Simpsons poking fun at liberals too. In recent years, Homer insulted Biden while he was VP. They showed MSNBC as being desperate for attention and willing to do anything to be a part of something.

  Are we so angry we can’t laugh at ourselves? I think the jabs at the GOP are more harsh and obvious on American Dad, but nothing gets said about it here.

  Comments seem to be harsh on every site. Although we have a different point of view here, our reactions to opposing views are no different from how the liberals comment on more liberal sites. We are truly a country divided.

  I need to stop reading comments. They seem to show the worst of people – usually.
