Wasn't there supposed to be a big reveal on her show last night? Or am I mistaken?

So How Long Will It Take After The Pope Speaks Before The Gloves Come Off And....

the Parties go back to their respective corners and come out swinging again? Will the Pope's message resonate with Congress or will it fade into oblivion after this news cycle? Will Congress learn something today or will they stick to their same sides?

James Cordon And Kristen Schaal Did A Cartoon Voice Over Talking About Bernie.....

it was great. I found the youtube video - the only problem is that the Bernie Cartoon starts at 1:50 into this video. It's worth the wait to see it though.

Two cats were talking - one that liked Bernie. The other cat was trying to talk him out of that. It ended with the cat supporting Bernie - saying they just can't see another Bush or Clinton in the White House.

Again it was hilarious!!!!!

Here's the link:

But you gotta see it. It was great!!!!!

Is It Time To Call In The National Guard To The Streets Of Chicago?......

Chicago weekend shooting toll: 8 dead, 45 wounded

The shootings bring the year's total to at least 2,213, according to an analysis of a Chicago Tribune database. That's an increase of more than 350 over last year and more than 500 over 2013, according to Tribune data.

There were at least 365 homicide victims in Chicago through Monday morning this year, 53 more than last year and 38 more than 2013, according to a Tribune database on homicides.

It's getting scary folks. When will the people of Chicago demand something be done. It's getting harder and harder to justify living in or going into the city.

What Distrubed Me More Than Trump's Lack Of Response To The Guy That Asked The Muslim Question.....

was the tone of the voice of the man that asked the question. It was filled with hatred and fostered violence.

Watching the video - the cameras were only on Trump and not on any of the questioners. I'm wondering if any of the photographers in the room took a picture of this guy or if anyone identified this guy that asked the question?

Trump is probably looking for him today to pay him off and have the guy say that he was a plant in the room to embarrass Trump. Maybe that's why Trump cancelled his appearance today.

I Need Some Clarification About Bankruptcy And Donald Trump.....

Is there a distinction between declaring bankruptcy with respect to one of his properties versus declaring bankruptcy for his company in general?

I'm asking because it is always flipped up to him that he declared bankruptcy three times. My understanding is that he in fact did - but only for a hotel/a particular property his company owns (like the one in Atlantic City) that was losing money. This was his way of getting out of that problem and is a perfectly acceptable way of dealing with that situation.

The candidates that pile on Trump - make it sound like his company/corporation declared bankruptcy in general - when it was only one property that he declared bankruptcy.

If that is so - why isn't he defending himself - when they make those accusations? Or am I missing something here?

Carly Fiorina Is Doing What She Probably Did To Get The Jobs She Had.....

It strikes me that she interviews well but when it comes to functioning and doing the job she is in over her head.

I just don't see her as being presidential.
