I hope everyone in Haiti is alright...although I can't imagine tents withstanding hurricane-force winds. Hopefully things weren't as bad as predicted.

They weren't. Hurricane force winds stayed well off shore. 6 people were reported to have died from storm related conditions. I imagine that number pales in comparison to other health and environmental conditions. Haiti got lucky

Good, at least not too many people died. 6 is nothing compared to the 100,000's back in January.

Indeed. Thank goodness the full strength of the winds did not hit

My bet is this current selection continues to play for another week or so then ttp://www.weather.com/tv/music/nov2010.html kicks in until the Holiday playlist starts

I find the left's obession with Sarah Palin (and other female conservatives) to be quite fascinating (and often hilarious). I swear, this woman can't do anything without them blowing a gasket. Listening to some of them, you'd think she was the queen of the United States or something. They obsess over her "tweets," analyze her new haircut, and hyperventilate when she spends more than a dollar on anything. Who cares!? She's just a woman that has helped a few candidates win. She has no power over anyone's life. None!

Hehe amen!

True on the fact that I don't really understand why he would appear on The Daily Show, but it's not like he's the first politician to appear on a late night show.Ana was talking about Palin, not Obama which is why I brought that up. She can't even give a straight answer about a 2012 run, she has to beat around the bush by saying stuff like "Oh, I don't know if no one else better is running, I think it's something I should do." Either you want to run or you don't.

He is the first president to do so many talk and tv shows though. Anyway you missed my point. If Palin comes out and says "Yes I am running" or "No I am not running" political interest in her would go way down. By not admitting what she is really doing she keeps the media suspense and hype around her going strong. Its a political move so that she stays in the spotlight and people keep talking about her.

I had a feeling that my public service announcement would catch people off guard.  On Sunday morning, I have to do the first balloon launch after the DST change, which means I have to remember to launch it an hour earlier than I've been doing as UTC time never changes.  Needless to say, my job actually forces me to keep up with time a lot!

Oh I meant I never know the exact date anymore since the change but its hard to go anywhere or watch anything without seeing it mentioned. I saw in the paper today there are actually DST sales in stores hahaa

This would have been more appropriate in the general tropical discussion thread.

This and then this all in one day...

* beanboy89 smells an official T-Mobile iPad and/or iPhone coming...

I doubt it personally. Microsim is for the Galaxy Tab. Of course this would come out the day after I bought the myTouch4G.

Wait... DST is this weekend? 

I forget every year since they changed the date. What a pointless change

I wonder why PM Edition is only on weekends. Maybe because they wouldn't have enough time to air it... 

PM Edition was removed on the weekdays because of the time changes. Day Planner now runs from 11-5. The earliest PM Edition could start would be 3pm EST because it wouldn't be PM on the west coast until then. It is not worth it for TWC to make a new graphics package for only a 2hr show when you have one already made up

I know it's WAY early, but does anyone have an idea of the 2012 Presidential candidates?

I'm hearing rumors that Sarah Palin wants to run for president. (totally doubt that.)

Here is what Sarah Palin is doing... she is neither denying nor confirming her presidential run because she knows she can keep up the media hype and interest that way. There is no way she will win a presidential run and everybody knows that. She really is a somewhat clever person and knows how to make $$$ off of her political views. I think she is smart enough not to run for office.

she acts more like she's a celebrity than she does a serious politician to me.

So does Obama in that regard. Appearing on The View, The Late Show, The Daily Show, Mythbusters, Oprah isn't very presidential imo

In other unrelated election news.... Keith Olbermann has been suspended

I won't know anymore. Apparently there's a hacker in my school, because a friend of my got his hacked too, even if he logged out of his account. It's so weird though. Nobody knows my password... not even my kitties and doggy.

Oh I meant how did you know it was hacked?

@Martin's reaction to my statement about California.

I must have confused a few people. I'm saying I'm surprised that for a while, the republican candidate put up a strong fight against Boxer. I'm not surprised at all that California kept a Democratic senator.

Ohhhh that makes sense!
