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!

Do you remember way back when Bush and Margaret Spellings used that "gay muppet" argument to cut the funding on NPR and PBS?

Well - now how do you like living in a world where all we get to hear about is Anna Nicole and Virginia Tech?
Wouldn't you like to know what's going on next door?

Wouldn't you appreciate public access that is not funded by a mega-church or Rupert Murdoch?

Just curious...

Each source is a little different and I can read in the paper or hear on t.v. a tinge (sometimes a big slant) of influence peddling.

With all the important issues that we have going on right now, is it right for the stories like: Anna Nicole's baby daddy, Alec Baldwin yelling at his kid, David Hasselhoff is a drunk, to get so much media attention and time that could be better spent dealing with real issues?

Apparently these spiders came over in banana boats 200 years ago and, up till recently, have mainly been localted in Dorset. Now, with warmer winters, they are multiplying like nobody's business. Their sting is not fatal, but is very painful and can put you in hospital. They are about the size of a pea and live in sheds, on wall, in the bark of trees, and like gardening gloves! I've never been that keen on gardiening but this is really off putting.
