Hi..dont think I’ve ever been first to post a comment for an episode. Hey Marta, do you think that if John Mc Cain wins the presidency, he will inherit George Bush’s psshhewww pssshhewww pssshhhewwww pistols or is that a texan thang when covered on future episodes of the news.
If not, is there a particular Arizonian weapon that might accompany him or is starting each speech like yosamatty sam (sorry my spelling is terrible) particular to Bushy.
PS is his wife HOT (and much younger?) on that clip or is it my eyesight after too many hours infront of the screen.
Also do the T shirt people dispatch outside the US?
PPS. Maple syrup rocks

Well, I think that one pretty much blew it for me.
I thought you were different, yet you say the same things fed by the lamestream media about McCain. The delegate counts that they are giving are incorrect and he has not yet ‘won’ the nomination.
Then you just ‘blah blahed’ what the guys said about their Congressional seats.
Don’t get me wrong, it was a given that we probably didn’t support the same candidate and that was cool… no problem… you are still cute as a button. But this report was nothing but repeating the same attitudes and incorrect info that the television is saying.
I really really still hope you win the break out and get to go convention. But I kinda hope that you do not go to the GOP convention and slam Ron Paul again.
I’m not really sure how to reply to your comment without seeming obsequious, but I will say this: thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and make me think.
I really apologize if I offended. I could provide you with a litany of excuses or explanations, but I think I’ll just say that I only intended it all good fun.
It’s an interesting position I find myself in, truly & deeply believing that mainstream media is f*cked as well as nothing short of detrimental to our society - yet also relying, as part of a two-person, unfunded team, on their wires to learn about events that aren’t in my own backyard, so to speak.
That said, I do also glean information from so-called citizen journalists (as one of them myself, I would say) and try to surmise that, as with most things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Anyway, I don’t want to wax on (and on), but thank you for comment. I want to do the best I can, always, and feedback functions as a check and balance on that (except when people are just meanie trolls calling me old or fat), so really, thanks for your kind words.
Wow, I am so impressed that not only did you not just delete my post but made an honest and enlightened response.
Ok, so I guess I’m not done with you, as demonstrated that I had to return to read your response
As far as old or fat remarks from tards, they are obviously blind.
Here’s the thing with the RNC and McCain… the FEC just might be messing over his whole world and the GOP wants to step in and fund the campaign. That is why they are feeding the line that he has enough pledged delegates. They need LOTS of time to brainwash the conservatives into backing someone they cannot stand. A story suggestion perhaps? Of course that is your call and I wouldn’t be upset if you didn’t cover it.
Thank you again Marta. I’m sure I’ll be enjoying you for some time to come.
BUTTON!!
Yup! That person said just what the rest of us were all thinking. I mean, if anyone has any bad stuff to say about your reporting, well; I think they’re just full of poop.
But, yeah: You are definitely cute as a button! I’ve wanted to say it before but felt I would be compelled to justify just how cute buttons really are. But now it’s out there. And dang it all, your news reports are fun as all get out (and don’t even get me started on how fun “all get out” can be) and… and… You are cute as a button!
*whew*
o.k.
thanks.
I’m done.
