by petersemkiw September 29, 2007 7:39 PM EDT: Some interesting comments you''ve been writing about me I see.
I certainly disagree with your comments about my comments on the "Pursuing Happiness" Blog. My comments were made in a spirit of fun and good humor,and most of the words of my comments were taken from movie scripts,the Journey Diamond Jewelry Ad, and the Beatles song, PS I Love You. And the words I chose reflect my sincere admiration and appreciation of the many years of Katie''s television work and accomplishments during her years in New York. If comments I make are unintentionally harassing or demeaning,the CBS team should remove those comments immediately.

But if you or anyone else has been offended, especially Katie, I''m sorry, too, and I certainly will try to tone down my comments.

And let''s remember that Freedom of Speech does not include Freedom of Libel or Slander either, so my lawyers tell me, but don''t worry,I''m not the litiginous type, and enjoy having you as a co blogger,

The common term for your constant comments toward Katie Couric (the reader has simply to scroll down, blog after blog) is demeaning.

Freedom of speech guaranteed in the Bill of Rights does not include blatant sexual harassment.

by ericmichael1 September 29, 2007 2:49 AM EDT: I believe that a woman has a right to be just as unhappy as a man.

I also believe that Katie has the right to be unhappy with a guy who constantly flashes her textually.

That is my Bill of Rights pertaining to the pursuit of Happiness.; Reply to this comment

From Moonstruck(1987)
Love doesn''t make things nice!
It ruins everything!
It breaks your heart!
It makes a mess!
We aren''t here to make things perfect!
The snowflakes are perfect!
The stars are perfect!
Not us! Not us!

Moonstruck in 1987,

You are a fine and excellent Anchorwoman and News Journalist.

You are also beautiful & wonderful, intelligent, knowledgeable, and insightful as well.

How can I tell you that I love you,
I love you?

I long to tell you that I''m always
thinking of you, I''m always thinking of you.

But I can''t think the right words to say.

Journey Diamond Jewelry. 2007.

I''m an aspiring genius pursuing happiness,

by memekiller September 27, 2007 3:17 PM EDT: Congratulations. It looks like the malarky about the "liberal" CBS will soon be blown out of the water:

http://www.salon.com/opinion/blumenthal/2007/09/27/dan_rather_suit/

To quote:

"In his effort to demonstrate his mistreatment, Rather will detail how network executives curried favor with the administration, offering him up as a human sacrifice. The panel that CBS appointed and paid millions to in order to investigate Rather''s journalism will be exposed as a shoddy kangaroo court.

"Rather''s complaint has already asserted a pattern of network submission to administration pressure, beginning with the Abu Ghraib story."; Reply to this comment


by annabanana-1 September 27, 2007 10:01 AM EDT: Katie. . If you don''t want to be MORE of a laughing stock as a "news person", I suggest that you read everything that hits the net from Rather''s suit. (hint: When Jay Leno cracks wise and the audience laughs, it''stoo late.); Reply to this comment
