Obama will have just as much money financing his election as Romney, and probably a lot more. I read last week Obama has something like $100 million stockpiled already and it is only May. Romney has something like $10 million I think.

Why am I not surprised? The community that has been most the victim of bias and prejudice in this country is once again first in line to vote their own prejudices and bias.

HBO: Game of Thrones
I love that the two wolves escaped with them. As far as the third wolf, Jon Snow is an idiot. And where is his wolf? That one needs to stick closer if he wants to keep his cred. Has Littlefinger ever met Arya? He seemed to know something was up but I don't recall them ever being introduced. I think my favorite character of all is Mr Lannister the senior. There is just something very cool about him. You know he is cruel and mean, and he is the richest man in the kingdom who still likes to hack up dead deer as a hobby even though he could hire a butcher and cook, but he has more going on upstairs than his children do. His scenes with Arya are real standouts. I used to like Theon because he did seem to mean well last year, but his treachery just cannot be tolerated. Robb deserved better. Perhaps someone who has read the books can say, was everyone's role reduced as Tyrion becomes the impish star in the books also? We have barely seen Cersei and Jaime this year. Jaime I think has been in one episode. Yet week after week there is Tyrion, first among equals.

It's all going to backfire on them. There are more poor people than rich people and it will be decidedly odd when they campaign on taxing the poor and cutting taxes on the rich. Still, I am glad that for once in their miserable movement, conservatives are finally being honest about what they want for the country. Between this and their fetish for a gun in every pocket in America and mandatory Ten Commandment seminars in every class, sooner or later the chickens will come home to roost. It's just a shame the media is in their pocket and tell lies about how mainstream their sickening theories are.

Melisandre can give Rosemary a run for her money in the baby dept! Joffrey is just a no good, rotten kid.

Was the show not actually called The Andy Griffith Show?

The media isn't truly liberal though. Maybe the anchors are, but the people who own the media are these multinational giants like Disney and Viacom. And even the anchors are not that liberal. David Gregory of NBC is a republican shill who just echoes whatever talking point his republican masters hand to him, Chris Matthews is pro-Obama now but it was 2002 and 2003 he was having an orgasm over "Mission Accomplished" and how Bush was such a macho stud. He just goes wherever the prevailing wind is.

HBO: Game of Thrones
I like that Anne Bolyne from The Tudors is now on this show as I loved The Tudors and it's like a mini crossover for me. She seems like a very nice and understanding queen. Her king is a nice guy but he's just not into her and doesn't even seem able to to get things working around her, poor guy. I wonder how they will figure this out. The lady knight got off on the wrong foot with me because she gave Lady Cat lip for no reason at all. The one I feel sorry most for this year is Theon Greyjoy. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't and he really set out to do right by everybody. No good deed goes unpunished.

Then what she should have said is Romney never had to earn a paycheck. What she said was Romney never worked a day in her life. The next logical step in the chain is what was she doing instead. She was a mother and therefore motherhood is not work. Now realistically I am sure she had help and nannies and people to clean and everything else but the initial comment is almost the embodiment of the old debate about working women and stay at home moms and housewives. Rosen is on the wrong side of that debate. Alice Kramden knew back in 1955 that housewives work too. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/frbp2O6I2go" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Of course, The Romney experience was a little different than the Kramden one.

GH: Classic Thread
I think DA has a realistic and quirky everywoman charm that made her stand out from the typical soap actress. That, and she can handle a wide range of emotional material. I'd say she was one of the best I have ever seen on GH. Leslie always seemed like someone you would like to know in real life.

I think this was just an easy to package news story and something every news outlet could sell instantly. The woman is an idiot and I thought that whole women in the home vs the workplace was settled long ago.

GH: Classic Thread
It was very odd. KW had to be one of the prettiest women to ever be on GH, they called her old and sidelined her but then put on the older and older looking Nancy Lee Grahn? It was always about the mob and Felicia just never found her place in the post-Monty world of no adventure. She floundered for years from Tom to Mac to Luke and she was just an 80s gal who never was able to successfully transition to the more down to earth stories. Had Felicia been a mob character it would not have been a problem.

Blake was the central figure on the show, so he is always going to be front and center. To not have him would be almost a misrepresentation of the product.

HBO: Game of Thrones
The only thing I am concerned about is the cast is growing and growing but the show doesn't get longer episodes. Everyone gets 4 minutes per episode basically and sometimes you would like to see attention paid to someone a little more to flesh out a scene and there just isn't time.

I like the royal bastard son. He seems so nice, and his "my lady" stuff was so cute. "well, that wasn't very ladylike!"

I watched clips, she wasn't bad. I was hoping she would have done some actual hosting duties though. She could have easily handled the Tori Spelling interview, and it would have been cool to see her interview someone like Bill or Hillary and what kind of questions she would ask. She was an ok guest.

I find the whole Romney is the nominee everyone else should get out meme weird. It is true Santorum cannot get the 1400 delegates, but neither can Romney! Here is a candidate whose main selling point is he is failing by less, and all the power brokers are trying to push everyone out?

HBO: Game of Thrones
The first season they did not use CGI wolves, but this wolf most definitely looked fake. Joffrey is becoming more than Cersei can handle, I imagine his evil ways will be his undoing. I am glad they did not forget the king' other son on the road. I am not sure how I feel about the new budget meaning loads of action. I love action but what made GoT the great show was the characters and machinations, not the war. I hope they don't shortchange the royal court dynamic for war too much.
