Decent execution but he couldn't have lobbed that one any easier than if he threw it underhanded.

I won't pretend to know much about the health care system, but I do know that I go across the border and see a Canadian doctor for $10 a visit.  If doctors would charge rates like that I don't think there would be a health care problem. 

You address veterinarians as doctor too.  Don't go to him if you break your leg.

Richard Huff in Friday's NY Daily News confirms that NBC-owned Channel 4/WNBC will become the first major station in the NYC market to abandon its 5 PM newscast. On 9/10, WNBC will replace the "ratings-challenged" 5 PM news with the entertainment show "Extra."

perhaps im an old man and overreating as usual but this makes me sick to my stomach and ashamed of this country when a local 5pm nightly newscast is tossed aside for a farging gossip fest...in the second greatest city in the world nonetheless

it was a matter of time....after the way CNN, foxnews, MSNBC, etc covered the Anna Nicole Smith thing, it wasn't hard to this on the horizon

I'm getting up there myself, and I absolutely agree.  Too many people care about what's going on in Hollywood than about what's going on in the world.

Yeah, the "Springerization of America" continues...

Or people are getting their news in a variety of different format, and economically the need for a 5pm newscast just isn't there. But your point is also valid.

It might be 10 years since i have watched an evening newscast.

If it's anything like the 11pm news, it's nothing but sensationalistic about how a new toy will killl your children.

Your attempts at justifying your favorite medium are awful. Television is a farging wasteland. The one or two redeemable shows do not make up for the utter lack of conscience that television shows towards everything. farg TV.

i moved over the weekend into a new place and apparently there are really farging hot girls everywhere.  yesterday i was driving to the store and this olive-skinned indie-rock looking chick was wearing a sundress, and i guess her hands were wet, because she was using her dress to dry her hands.  anyway, she lifted it up so high that i saw her panties and i actually yelled "oh my god" out loud to myself in the car, and was very close to crashing.  it was glorious.
