They gave her a 6 month tryout and I guess it didn't work out. She can take Megyn Kelly with her as well as Hugh Hewitt (although he is just getting started).

I purposely avoid MSNBC at 6pm when she is on.

One time I must have taken a nap with MSNBC on earlier in the day, and I woke up to her on my TV. Boy, was I pissed!

Good riddance.

Replace her with some other conservative has-been and I'll continue to avoid that time slot.

It's a small TV world: She should have made a graceful exit.

She's just not cuddly. TV is more than content. I always felt that her mind had it's foot on the accellerator pushing rather than exchanging.

but all the bleeding from her facelift caused the President to say "no."

My Packard Bell was an XT clone, purchased in 1987 - my first PC.

I'd had an Apple ][ bought in 1982 but when it was time to upgrade Macs were too expensive, the software for them was too expensive, and it would have cost me four or five times as much to do the same on a Mac things I could do on the Packard Bell with shareware. As far as I'm concerned Apple cut their throats when they stopped allowing outside program development on the Mac.

Wanted an Apple II back in the day but they were way too pricey.

I believe I had a Packard Bell 386SX and then later a 486 screamer LOL

Good times

But with it I started doing our bookkeeping. Before we'd paid someone to do it for us. We paid for the Apple the first year by what we saved.

That's why I had to consider cost - the computer was a business expense. I used it for bookkeeping, for graphics to make brochures for our farm and ads for our show programs.

We even got online early along - in 1982 or 1983. Later an online forum saved us thousands of dollars - I got a heads up on a disease that was being quarantined if we didn't have a health certificate that indicated our horses had not been exposed. As a result our horses had that certificate and were not stopped on the way to a national show. A number of other horses in the area were stopped and quarantined for weeks. So we saved the boarding and quarantine fees, plus we made it to the show and won lots of prizes!

On the reverse side, I can't remember ever seeing Lawrence's show promoted elsewhere on the network, and he appears to be doing just fine.

A few times when the TV was already tuned to MSNBC I caught off-putting tidbits and changed the channel. Unwatchable junk. Trump is dangerous. Now is not the time for false equivalency bullshit/devil's advocate type reporting. You're either a propaganda arm or you're not.
