"Equal opportunity criticizer" , yea right, he is just chapped that nobody followed his stupid suggestions. If that knucklehead wants a say, he can run for office, until then his suggestgens are no more relevant then yours or mine. How's that for a chilled wind?

Then give him a standing ovation. Answer: Because the left is so insane that they cannot smell their own stench any longer. Tim Robbins is a nut.

What you believe about where I lived is of little consequence to me, but just to be clear, we lived in Ewa Beach navy housing while my submarine officer dad was stationed at Pearl. My dad was a career officer in the navy and my mom was a navy housewife. I attended Punahou on an academic scholarship. If all of that makes me an "elitist", then so be it. As long as it separates me from the likes of you and your ilk. TT, that was funny. terrig, when did I ever condone a “liberal” calling anyone a whore?

Many of us here actually think the major broadcasters have waded into the shallow end intellectually, and most of the stuff on broadcast TV seems pretty low on quality. The News seems preposterous at times, and I personally think all the networks have someone who would broadcast literally anything for the right price. Putting that square in the laps of the broadcasters seems ok to me.

I may be a hypocrite in your eyes but as I said before I lose no sleep on what you think of me. I really doubt you lived at Barber's Point or if you did you were in the elite quarters. I find it funny that you accept the liberals calling people whores but not others. You are a good for a laugh but that's all. I hope that you have a wonderful day and that you can smile at the fact that you are so much better than the rest of us. Classless lightweight-you're so clever.
