Then again I do not watch Fox News either.

No, some how you strike me as the CNN type.

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.

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.

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.
