It's all just a bunch of fluff..nothing close to what "the news" should be anymore. It's who can entertain the best. They are trying to get rid of anyone who even looks or sounds like a real journalist. <br /><br />Maybe it's best to catch the news on one of the comedy news shows on late night now. At least there..you are suppose to laugh!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-78549474944718773252012-06-28T22:16:56.059-05:002012-06-28T22:16:56.059-05:00I caught another new show last night called Final ...I caught another new show last night called Final Witness. It's a true crime drama from the point of view of the person who was murdered. Interesting perspective. I read that it didn't have that many viewers but I liked it. I do like true crime drama though. <br /><br />I'd seen an interview with the father and only survivor of a family slaughter. The 16 year old daughter orchestrated the entire thing. She was mad because her parents made her stop seeing her loser boyfriend. She was very pretty, talented, sang in the church and set up the murder of her entire family. Her boyfriend and two other young people helped her. Her father miraculously survived. <br /><br />It's hard for many to believe that these young pretty women can be so evil, but not me. I've seen it with my own eyes. Well..actually..I've met some of them. You wouldn't know it from talking with them. They can be pleasant enough. Evil is not always so easy to detect. It can be well concealed in a very attractive package..either male or female.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-46946957125665083792012-06-28T22:03:10.559-05:002012-06-28T22:03:10.559-05:00And I did catch the mistake that CNN made with the...And I did catch the mistake that CNN made with the health care ruling decision because Tru TV did also. Their people cross over to CNN. I was watching In Session..that I record every day to watch some of the trials they cover. On a break they said that it was overturned. I already knew it was upheld so I wondered what the heck was going on. <br /><br />Did you hear what caused the mix up? Fox getting something wrong is nothing new. It's surprising when they actually get something right...or should I say..correct.

I was on the phone with TW and she spotted it first. Then I caught sight of it.

I found out who was making it, Arena(ARNA) Pharm., and put in a buy order for a hundred shares. <br /><br />I have a little stock account that had a little money in it. The price was over 11 bucks so I put in a 10 dollar buy order. I thought that maybe I had gone too low but it did drop down to 9 something and bought at 10. It was up a little from there at close. I'm betting when people find out about that new drug it will sell like hot cakes. It's prescription. Anything that helps obesity is a good investment. I'll just stayed closely tuned in so that if they find out it also kills people I can pull out. <br /><br />I recently bought a 100 shares of BMY recently and am up about 100 bucks.
