When they moved him to the week-end I was really ticked off. Week-ends really ARE the desert especially during the spring/summer months. Even when I was home on week-ends I simply forgot he was on, but did catch him several times. Now, what to do about Karen Finney?

I know she hasn't proved her "creds" I do like her a lot.

AND I so enjoyed The Stephanie Miller Show on Current. I was watching Current more often recently because I knew I could see the repeats on MSNBC. Now Current has dropped everyone. I have a feeling Stephanie is contracting with FSTV where Thom Hartmann is now along with Democracy Now. I kind of got hooked with Stephanie and have already missed the show. Guess they haven't decided about where the show is going to move, but they did say they'll have a TV show again.

Good, good for Eddie! He really was done dirty!
