AOL did a recent poll on Katie Couric's popularity with America and only 11% of Americans liked her. Why? Can anyone tell me what she has done to lose favor with the American public since she moved to prime time news?

I've been hearing a lot about the VA tech shootings, while I admit it is a tradgedy, I'm kind of torn. I mean yes 33 people were killed and everyone has paid tribute to the faces of the VA tech shootings. Where is all the support for those lost in the war? Where is the tributes to the soldiers who put their lives on the line for our country? I may not agree with the war, but this is getting ****** up. I'm not trying to sound like a *****. I just don't agree with any of it. I do think that there should be recognition for those killed in the shootings, but shouldn't we do the same for the soldiers? Another thing that I don't agree with is the fact that America paid more attention to Anna Nicole Smith's death than that of OUR soldiers. SHE WAS A ******* PORN STAR WHO BECAME RICH FROM A ******* OLD DUDE! Our soldiers put their lives on the line everyday and it seems they get no recognition.They fight for us. They put their lives on the line for us. For America. You pick up a newspaper or a magazine and there is more about movie stars breaking up or movie stars dying, than there is about our soldiers. All it says is how many were killed. I think that America is pretty ****** up if all they care about is hollywood rather than regular people fighting for what they may or may not believe in for US If you don't agree with this than I am sorry, but this is my first step. This is what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to pay tribute for those who fight for me, and for all of the US. If you agree with this, please feel free to comment. If not, then I'm sorry but you don't have to agree with me. Go be shallow and read more about Brad Pitt and Angelina, cuz God knows they're not the one's fighting for YOU!

Alan Wolfe, a political scientist of Boston College said of Lou Dobbs like this:

"In just a few words, Rohrabacher touched on every one of American nativism's elements: the fawning populism, the threats of blackmail and reprisal, the unusually ugly language. Immigration debates are like that. No other issue (except, of course, race) brings out so prominently the demagogues among us. If you find this an exaggeration, watch any television program featuring Lou Dobbs."

Ok, supposedly there's going to be some sort of gas boycott on like May 15th or something like that. That's not going to work because then everyone will pump gas on the 14th an 16th, so it'll make up for the loss anyway and it's not like they'll really care. The gas station only makes like 4 cents per gallon and the rest goes to them buying gas from the other countries and stuff like that. I can guarantee that gas companies in other countries aren't going to care what we're doing over here, and our gas stations make all of their money off of the convenience stores, and people will still go to those. Really, nothing is going to come out of it and even if something does, it'll only make gas prices go UP, not down. So do you really want to drive gas prices up even higher than they already are?

Should the President have the right to keep secret the images of body bags coming back to America? Is it possible that President Bush is doing to keep being able to keep recruitment of new soldiers possible. There has been a lot of controversy about the Patriot's Act, and the attendant loss of individual rights and privacy. What are your comments about this?

I think she will turn it into a positive somehow. I hope she spends some time in a shared cell where she has to use the toilet in plain view . I hope she actually suffers but I have the feeling she will somehow get away with things. What do you think ? What advantages could she get from other prisoners or staff?

So what's the deal with that Richard Gere kiss? Are they that much fanatics over in India? And what's a kiss compared to an unhappy fellow who is allowed to throw boiling oil in the face of a woman (with hardly any punishment)? Aren't we talking about a whole lot of hypocrisy here?

The H5N1 avian flu virus has killed 78% of the people infected during the past six months. We're being told to stockpile food, water, baby food, pet food, medicine, and cleaning supplies.

Also schools will close for 3 months during a severe pandemic.

Have you heard the warnings from the U.S. government?

She is being sent to jail for 45 days-without bail, etc. Do you think it was the right decision? Personally, I think the judge was being extremely arrogant and treated Paris harshly due to her celebrity nature. I think the judge was jealous of her lifestyle and wanted to make her suffer! And before you all go out and critisice me, I am in NO way a Paris fan...but I think everyone should be treated fairly. What do you all think?

It seems to me courts are starting to over do it. There should be like a huge protest asking to let it go. I'm all fo following the law but now days it seems that cops are on everyone's back while criminals do whatever they want.

As you may already know about, some high school kid from Chicago wrote violent stuff in his essay assignment and got arrested for disturbance.

Just wondering according to the doctrine of precedence, (which they have to follow the previous court decision where there was similar case happened before so if you do something and get jailed, I’ll be jailed as well if I do what you did), when are they going to arrest Stephen King, 50cent, Eminem, and maybe akon, or William Shakespeare if he is still alive?

last weekend 4-28-07, 172 saudi's where arested. they claim to have been Trained by alika's in Iraq, found with 5.3 million in cash, weapons, and explosives. Intent to blow up OIL wells. did you know how close you came to paying $6/gal gas or more. THINK SERIOUSLY how would that affect your life and the world. I want our troops home to, but not to guard gas stations so people are not killing people for gas. lets finnish the job. And for those who say Ethanol. there is not enough CORN in the whole USA to fill that VOID. Beside how would you feed the farm animals let alone US
