How hard is it to read the news and keep the show going?

Then again I do not watch Fox News either. ;)

What color? I'm a person of color too, otherwise I would be invisible, then I could really make the big bucks!

Anytime someone does not watch Fox News they are a certain type to people of your political persuasion. :D

Good grief, can you come anywhere near a relevant comment? Wow!

Just to remind you, the reference was to the advancement of unqualified, untalented, out-of-touch sportscasters solely based on their gender appeal, which was playing off of the earlier affirmative action comment. And do you remember my agreeing with you on that?

I am not sure how you can compare a sportscaster to umpiring advancement. One is done for entertainment purposes to get people to watch, the other is to perform a job on a field. And since I do not watch the MLB Network, I cannot comment on what an anchor does or does not do.

It will be OK Kevin. ;)

Peace

Yeah, we have found that it holds absolutely true about people of your political persuasion.

I no longer watch Fox News either, but probably not for the same reason. There has just been no good news on TV for quite some time now.

No, I just happen to know from a couple people very close to the situation, that's all.
