Bill for Glenn Beck Day stuns Mount Vernon. It seems when the Beckster went to collect his key to Mt. Vernon, a bill to the tune of $17,748.00 ensued. Officials were stunned, (?) Huh...they didn't aniticipate this was going to cost? I say send the bill to Glenn. He makes millions and won't even miss it. (Or let the mayor pay for it out of his own pocket) Here is a link: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2010120920_costofglenn23m.html Interesting and kind of sad.

This website has 3 different webcams where you can view and observe the classy well-dressed critters. They are always dressed for the Party. I seem to have issues with download bandwidth and buffering speed so my connection does not keep up. You will have to tell me if the webcams work OK. I came across the penguin cams by mistake.... I didn't know they had these. I was looking for the other cam they have which is posted on top of a lighthouse on the Farrallons, which is about 30 miles out and away from San Francisco. The web-camera has a 360 degree panorama view which you can adjust to your liking. The Island is a HUGE bird nesting ground and protected. They explained on a show it is a ' live ' view so if there happens to be fog or it it is night-time. You see nothing. The sun was out today and and it was clear skies earlier. Do the high-speed or DSL users get a good view? I'm curious. http://www.calacademy.org/webcams/penguins/ Are there any Penguin fans out there..?

I think she was forced into this decision for financial reasons they can't afford her current world view of herself. She has to be the "iconic one" and this will enable to continue this charade a little longer.

I can see why some in the medical profession have a hard time with medicare.I thought it was wrong when it took four months for my doctor to be paid ,but I just received a bill from my welcome to medicare exam back in April of this year and it just was paid this month,thats for the tests done.Something has to be done so it does not take so long for payments to be made.President Obama is right we need more technology in the medical field and that includes in how fast or slow payments are processed for common things.

She can then siphon it off as she pleases, as well as have a way to get the Sarah Pac money transferred without having to deal with those pesky Alaskan Ethics issues... If she's with a party where she's the "Big Dog"; then there's no one to tell her what she can and can't do.....puts the $ under Federal Rules, which are looser than the Alaskan ones that Sarah Pac is under...

What a let down when I heard Bernie Kerik was her lover, he is almost as slimy as Rudy. What a joke, Rudy's little mistake to pick Bernie for President Bush's homeland security chief. Judith had the dirt on all of them but she took the pay off and settled to live quietly in luxury for life. I think it was this week that Bernie had his bail revoked. He's in the slammer. The little guys always do the time for the boss. I remember seeing Judith Regan on her show at Fox. What a let down when I heard Bernie Kerik was her lover, he is almost as slimy as Rudy.
