Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was killed Saturday in a shooting in Nashville. He was 36.

Karl Malden, the Academy Award-winning actor whose intelligent characterizations on stage and screen made him a star despite his plain looks, died Wednesday, his family said. He was 97.

Television pitchman Billy Mays - who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets - died Sunday. He was 50.

George Stephanopolus nearly peeing in pants with delight that the CBS NEWS poll shows the public thinks the economy is getting better by a two-to-one margin.

Better: 32%
Worse: 15%

That's what ABC News reported.

Do you notice something strange about that stat? If you say "The numbers don't add up to 100%", then you're smarter than a Barack Obama Democrat!

Guess what the other 53% of the public think about the economy?

You know, do me a favor. Could say 'Dgreatone' instead of "ma'am"? It's just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it, yes, thank you.

ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

ABC NEWS RESPONDS:

"ABCNEWS alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the president. Like any programs we broadcast, ABC News will have complete editorial control."

Gays decry Obama's stand on gay marriage case
By LINDA DEUTSCH and LISA LEFF ? 14 hours ago

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Gay rights groups expressed dismay with the Obama administration Friday over its championing of the Defense of Marriage Act, a law the president pledged to try to repeal while on the campaign trail.

The government filed a motion late Thursday to dismiss the case of Arthur Smelt and Christopher Hammer, who are challenging the 1996 federal act. The law prevents couples in states that recognize same-sex unions from securing Social Security spousal benefits, filing joint taxes and other federal rights of marriage.

"The president made very explicit and emphatic campaign promises that he opposes DOMA and would provide leadership calling on Congress to repeal it," said Jennifer Pizer, marriage project director for Lambda Legal. "This brief is not consistent with that promise."

Obama does this to you and you're not angry, just "expressing dismay"? If a Republican president did this to you the only expression you would show is "dismay"?

Two-faced dumbass gay crap everybody has to put up with...

I'm dismayed. LOL!
