There are estimated to be at least twenty-five thousand idiomatic expressions in English according to Wiki .Should they all be eliminated ...or are you just becoming another NK ?

No they shouldn't. But idioms shouldn't be used when providing an interpretation of a text. Please stick to an analysis of the text without the need to take liberties. This is especially true when the actual text provides a satisfactory explanation.

It would be a pretty boring site if all we did was provide links . I provided commentary .Take it or leave it .

PC is such a drag, it leaves no place for opinion, and that is all we have here, opinion, and you know Tom opinions are like arseholes, evryone has got one and none more functional than the other

In terms of an attempted at analysis of the text it is it is pretty ordinary to say the least. This is not surprising since I am sure you are trying to put a right wing spin on it.

In these circumstances I guess it is understandable.


P.S. Sorry about being boring.

I think their first choice for a name was PRAVDA... but since someone holds a copyright on that apparently they had to settle on MSNBC.

THey probibly have more employees than they have viewers.

[tomder55]

Anyway ....NBC had no right to release the fact that they had a shrink evaluate him....and ;if Gregory needs a shrink.... Ed Schultz needs a frontal lobe job.

[smoothy]

Ed Schultz needs a brain implant... to fill the cavity in his cranium now. Hes a clueless dolt. I heard his lunatic rants on AFRTS (Armed Forces Radio and TV service) back when he was excusively on the radio. He should have been put on anti-psycotic medications years ago.

[NeedKarma]

You guys truly are the lowest common denominator.

[smoothy]

Nope... Ed Schultz fills that position already. And he works extremely hard to keep it.

[tomder55]

Why ? I'm defending their fine host of 'Meet the Depressed '

[paraclete]

all of this is making me depressed

[smoothy]

Be glad YOU don't have them... but then you actually might have one of your own as pathetic as they are.

[paraclete]

No they don't seem to last here, ratings are too important even people like Colbert didn't seem to last more than a season

[smoothy]

I guess the larger population base allows for enough pathetic viewers to let them squeak by a lot longer. Personally... I worry about people that watch that almost as much as the loons running that insane asylum.

[paraclete]

You do get some would be comedians but a season or two seems to see them out, for a long time we have found revue style comedy attractive but I expect we have seen too many sitcoms, we even exported Paul Hogan but the standard didn't rise much in either place just more banal crapola

[speechlesstx]

I watched about 3 minutes of Chris Hayes the other night. That's about as long as most viewers can take PMSNBC.

They are still flogging Christie's "Bridgegate " daily ..spending more time on it than CNN has done about the missing plane....But they have not mentioned that across the river ,Governor Andrew Cuomo in March decommissioned his own 'Moreland Commission ' on public corruption which he empaneled last year . When Cuomo appointed them he proclaimed that they would be an independent commission that would have free reign to investigate anything related to public corruption in the state without interference .
When questioned about the decommisioning ,and possible interference by his office in it's investigations ,Cuomo pulled one of his tantrums ....

“It's not a legal question. The Moreland Commission was my commission,” ... “It's my commission. My subpoena power, my Moreland Commission. I can appoint it, I can disband it. I appoint you, I can un-appoint you tomorrow.
"So, interference? It's my commission. I can't 'interfere' with it, because it is mine. It is controlled by me.”

But Cuomo in fact did interfere in their investigations. As reported by Daily Snooze ,the Commission killed a subpoena to the state Democrats,and the Real Estate Board of New York that they served to the state Republicans and Independant Parties .
Gov. Cuomo's Anti-Corruption Commission Kills Subpoena To NYS Democratic Party - NY Daily News

Southern District U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara says that he would take “very, very seriously any suggestion” that Cuomo's office interfered with the Moreland Commission;and said he wouldn't rule out an ethics probe into the Cuomo's administration involvement in 'Morelandgate ' . He has issued a grand jury subpoena seeking emails, text messages and other records from all the members of the anticorruption commission .

As of now I am not aware of MSNBC ,or any of the dinosaur networks reporting on this growing scandal.

[talaniman]

You know the rules Tom, to see democrats get flogged you have to turn to FOX.

[tomder55]

How do explain the lack of coverage in the so called 'main stream' ? I really don't see much coverage about it anywhere to be honest . Here you have 2 NY metropolitan area governors who have Presidential ambitions involved in local "scandals" . Where one of them has been dutifully flogged for months by the national media ;the other one's scandal barely makes it out of local coverage .

[tomder55]

But The Jewish voice is on the case .

The U.S. federal prosecutor who has subpoenaed phone and computer records from members of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's anti-corruption commission, including Blackberry smartphones may now believe there was interference in allowing the Moreland Commission to follow thru on the investigations they began before being disbanded. When federal prosecutors took possession of the commission’s documents and computers, they also collected the BlackBerry smartphones because in the commission’s early days, senior members of its staff were told to communicate with Mr. Cuomo’s aides only via BlackBerry PIN messages, which are not recorded on government servers.Cuomo was listed among 18 governors for lack of transparency and ethics, according to a Washington-based government watchdog group. The ranking, as Gannett points out, is a few months old. But it sprung into the spotlight this week as ProPublica published a story showing how Cuomo's aides use non-governmental email accounts to conduct business and skirt state open records laws.
