TAKE A JOURNEY into the everyday life of Jesus and the world he knew.
Through the vivid writing of a seminary-educated journalist who has walked where Jesus walked, you'll join Jesus on the rolling hillsides, the baked-dirt Judean desert, and the rock streets of Jerusalem.
You'll experience the hard realities of life in a once-proud nation now occupied by foreign troops. You'll hear angry exchanges between Jewish leaders of clashing movements, jostling for position and power. You'll meet surprising saints—like a Roman soldier and a Samaritan "half-breed"—as well as sinners in the top ranks of religion, including high priests and Bible experts on the Jewish supreme court. And you'll learn about ancient Jewish customs, from birth to burial.
Be prepared for astonishing insights into the life and teachings of Jesus. You'll discover new and important meanings you never considered before.
This book is an updated, text-only edition of Steve's previous, illustrated book: The Jesus of the Bible.
Very accessible to the average person, yet still engaging for someone with a lot of biblical knowledge….[Miller] translates the Bible into English. Everyday English, that is. The kind that non-Christians speak.
Miller takes the reader on a romp through life in Jesus' time. . . Although it is clear that Miller is writing as a Christian . . . he writes in a non-proselytizing, journalistic tone that makes it quite readable for non-Christians as well. He also doesn't avoid issues that may make many Christians uncomfortable. Whether you believe the Bible is the word of God or just a fascinating piece of ancient literature, this book will engage you.
Retail price: $9.99
Paperback: 304 pages
Publisher: Barbour (February 2013)
Language: English
Product Dimensions: 7.3 x 9.5 inches

Larry Bell, Contributor
I write about aerospace, environment, energy, Second Amendment policy
Now that the Space Shuttle has been scuttled and the proposed Ares I Constellation program rocket has been cancelled, NASA has little near-term choice but to rely on the private sector for home-grown astronaut launch and return. And although several companies are intent upon providing those services, American crews may continue to depend upon Russian taxi rides for some time to come.
There are two principal issues. First, uncertain budgets and launch market commitments make NASA an unreliable customer, causing large R&D investments to be very risky. Second, working with NASA imposes contract complexities, schedule delays and added costs that jeopardize business viability. This is particularly true in regard to design control over manned mission flight safety provisions.
The original premise was that private industry can build and operate space transportation vehicles more rapidly, cheaply and flexibly than can government, opening a new era of spaceflight. But the big rub is that while this may be very true, they cannot do so the "government way". Accordingly, companies are reportedly pushing back against NASA rules establishing how their vehicles must be designed rather than how they must perform. This is analogous to authorizing the Federal Aeronautics Administration to certify the design of airplanes- not just certifying their airworthiness.
Blaming budget uncertainties, NASA has announced that it will postpone their use of private launchers for transporting astronauts until at least 2017. This delay has prompted one prospective customer, Bigelow Aerospace, to lay off 40 of its 90-person staff. The company which plans to operate an orbital habitat or "hotel", was depending on commercial launch services to ferry users to and from the facility. Bigelow has already placed two reduced-scale inflatable structured prototypes in orbit using Russian rockets, and had hoped to be operational with the real McCoy by 2015.
Although the White House had originally requested more than $800 million annually to support private space taxis, Congressional lawmakers reduced that amount by half. This can be attributed in part to a somewhat tense relationship that has existed between the Obama administration and Congress over space policy for some time. This contention became worse when the White House added more money to the fiscal 2012 budget request for commercial-crew efforts than was authorized in 2011… and less for NASA's development of its own rocket and capsule for missions beyond Earth's orbit.
NASA has now shifted to what they regard to be more flexible cost-sharing arrangements with private service suppliers. Termed the "Commercial Crew Integrated Design Contract" (CCIDC), this strategy will modify so-called "Space Act Agreement" funding terms applied in the past to partner with proposed ventures involving Boeing, Orbital Sciences Corp and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. The change will focus upon overall design of the system, rather than on single technological activities and milestones.
Bill Gerstenmaier, who heads NASA's manned program operations, noted that Congress has attached some strings that could further reduce the budget for commercial rocket development by linking such dollars to the agency's progress in developing a separate, larger NASA rocket, a development that will also limit NASA's engineering and design control over the commercial program. The downside, he said is that it "doesn't ensure that we will get exactly what we need."
Gerstenmaier estimates that "Based on our previous work, there is a pretty good possibility" that the new acquisition strategy will support at least two contractor teams to finalize and verify their designs. However Congressman Ralph Hall (Rep. TX.), who heads the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, expressed skepticism. He said "Given current federal budget constraints, I continue to be concerned about NASA's ability to afford contracting with two or more companies to ferry our astronauts to and from the International Space Station." Instead, Hall favors having two companies team together to jointly develop a more cost-effective plan. Yet he agrees with Bill Gerstenmaier that "NASA cannot impose its safety requirements as would be possible under a normal acquisition."
A fine analysis. The solution is not as elusive as one may think. In October 2010, SpaceNews published my column http://www.spacenews.com/commentaries/101011-bridging-space-launch-divide.html that explained how to bridge the space launch divide between commercial (Musk, Allen, Bezos, etc.) and traditional (USG contractors like Boeing) by having the government customers enter into take-or-pay contracts in a progress-payment type auction:
"NASA's role must instead be honed to act on behalf of the American people as a smart buyer and honest broker. To do so, it needs only two things:
" 1) An irrevocable commitment to explore specific destinations in space, subject to affordability.
" An irrevocable commitment, which means a clear timetable, for achieving the nation's space exploration goals and objectives (spelled out) will forecast the U.S. government's demand for launch services over the next 30 years. For example, we know (or should know) how much cargo is required for the international space station and how many crew rotations must occur over the next 10 years. If the forecast is not bold enough in some years for the various competing providers, let them all come in to Washington and lobby for more missions to be put on the books, instead of fighting each other and letting gridlock win.
"2) The authority to buy launch services from any qualified provider, subject to reliability.
"Any qualified provider, whatever its political ancestry, can bid for missions on the books (in the forecast) and, under law, the government can make current-year deposits with qualified winning bidders. Naturally, flights that are due to occur soon — say, in two years — would be bid and won by companies that have proven launch capability. Flights further off would see maybe a dozen "new space" companies bidding, and the government would make current-year deposits with the top three or four most-qualified "best value" offers. As the launch dates approach, each year the government would conduct rebids so the competitors could refine their pricing, evidence improved reliability and safety, and win progressively larger cash deposits. Here again, if the current-year cash deposits offered are viewed as too small to interest bidders, let them all lobby for bigger deposits."
The coming train wreck you so correctly point out is painful because it is so easy to avoid.
before Space Industry runs self-funded, Nothing will go forward. govt must step in to issue all necessary legislative mechanisms to realize most amicable environment 4 SI. SI doesn't need to consume money of taxpayers, it must get useful federal Laws + satisfiable Strategy to go along. + My Friends, keep in mind: without advanced SI, this civilization will go deeply dark thanks to desperate lack of appropriate techs. :(
Public letter:
Dear Friends.
No too big secret that NASA has gotten toughest question to fund future & current projects. I'd like to offer you game-changing strategy: One & First among the Key Factors is to become financially independent, space tourism has really great potential to be first having extra incomes, but common mistake of start-ups like SpaceX is the way to excite customers. Ticket to Space is too expensive even for far not poor personas, but fortunately this obstacle can be broken through with lottery schemes to sell tickets + that way makes possible to get many times more income to advance than Just to search wealthy ones.
Aforesaid text is only smallest part of the strategy to turn Space Industry from ugly duck to blossoming Swan.
My the best wishes.
+ one wonderful & useful moment must be mentioned: the more NASA will be self-funded, the more money from government will be given to NASA.
discussions, please, here: http://www.spacebanter.com/showthread.php?t=181291
Not sure why he blaming Obama, at least Obama had an affordable plan to get US people into Space.
Constellation was a mess, from beginning to end.
SLS and Orion will end the same way, money down the drain, little or nothing to show for it. An that will be completely congress and a few senators fault and not NASA or Obama.

Reviews of Duba Plains Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
buffalo and lions drama at Duba Plains Camp
Duba Plains was probably the best safari camp we stayed at during our two week vacation in Botswana. The dedication and passion of our guides, Kops and James, plus the standard of food and service back at camp, organised by Pierre and Antionette, were exceptional.
After two days tracking a pride of lions, we were fortunate enough to witness them attacking and killing a buffalo in the water followed by intensely dramatic interaction between the two species as the Buffalo herd attempted, without success, to drive the predators from their prey.
We also saw a huge variety of other wildlife on safari, ranging from elephants to Lilac Breasted Rollers, and have many great photos to prove it.
Overall, a memorable safari experience,
Breakfast around the fire was a special touch
A stunning setting, with beautiful rooms\tents offering indoor and outdoor showers, combined with fabulous comfortable lounges surrounded by Beverley's magnificent wildlife phographs in the main area, a wonderful welcome from OT, Adele, Obeletswe and Kops which in total provided an excellent start to our stay at Duba Plains. The breakfast by torchlight, using the fire to cook added a special feel on those cold mornings.
Our guide Obeletswe's knowledge and patience not only in following and waiting for the many animals, was all the more impressive when we chose to spend an 11 hour day in the Landcruiser following the lions and buffalo, as he also coped with the primate interactions of our family as well. We found watching the lions stalk and chase the buffalo absolutely incredible. On that long day, the lunch provided in the bush by Steve and the crew, with beautifully set tables and melt in your mouth steaks was also amazing. A truly special day to remember.
Great but marketed incorrectly
We were sold Duba Plains as a camp with "great lion and buffalo interaction" and "buffalo eat grass and lions eat buffalo". Evidently the buffalo are on an island and can't get off so a kill is almost guaranteed. This may have been true a few years ago but having built ourselves up and booked five nights, the buffalo had got off and we only saw a handful on our last afternoon boat trip. We realise that animal sightings aren't guaranteed but actually there hadn't been any buffalo for a couple of weeks or so. If it hadn't been for the marketing, we would have loved it anyway without the spiel.
We had the best lion sightings ever, looking at the movement of various groups within the prides, lovely jackals, elephants, tsetsebes, and not an impala in sight!
The food was good and we had one barbeque out in the bush even though I mentioned to the manager, Lizzy, that a bush breakfast or brunch would be appreciated.
The tents are ok, huge beds, twin hand basins with wardrobe space behind where we found ourselves bumping into each other somehow. Warm water came through eventually.
Duba Plains review
The camp itself was fine, however, due to the high water levels we were unable to reach the buffalo herd which was the main reason for going to the camp. As we booked late in April we feel that this situation could have been predicted as the water levels were already creating problems.
Two things could be done: The camp could find a way to get vehicles across to the island where the buffalo had fled along with the Skimmer lion pride. Secondly your organisation could highlight the risk that this exceptional bufflalo offering might not be available at this time of year due to high water levels. Please be advised that the owners plan to tear down the existing camp according to the general manager, Lizzie, and rebuild it as a luxury camp in November of this year.
Our guide Kenny's sundowners were exceptional if perhaps unplanned. The first evening we fell in among a young male lion group and shared our drinks from the 4x4. The next evening we found ourselves stuck in the mud with the sun going down and Kenny had to carry each of us on his back to high ground where he had prepared our sundowner table. This was beyond the call of duty as my husband outweighs him by about 15 kilos.
Lions Large & small
We were welcomed at Duba Plains by Ishmael who proved to be an excellent host with a ready sense of humour who seemed to relish contact with the guests. The whole atmosphere at the camp was relaxed & happy. The rooms & service were excellent & the food superb, especially the home made soups & bread. Tents are reached by a raised boardwalk & judging by the huge footprints & piles of elephant dung below, the after dark escorts are a necessary precaution.
Duba Plains has a reputation for conflict between the buffalo herds & the lion prides, but this is unfair. There is so much else to see & the landscape is much more scenic than some other areas, with wide open plains, interspersed with palm islands & tree bordered river channels.
Our guide Spike was excellent & seemed to know just where the lions & buffalo might be at any given time. He also found for us herds of red lechwe & elephant, jackal; & bush buck as well as the usual game. We had good views of a pair of Martial eagles mating in the top of a tree & an adult bateleur eagle perched in bright sunlight. We saw lions on every game drive either at a kill or relaxing as lions do. A special sighting was of four lionesses crossing a flooded channel while a solitary cub stood on the bank crying pitifully. Eventually he plucked up courage & half waded, half swam after the adults & arrived safely on the other side.
Our main a abiding memory was of the huge male lion that rules the area & commutes across the river between two prides of females & cubs. we found him shortly after sunrise, roaring. When he started to move, Spike guessed his intention & positioned the vehicle on the open partly flooded plain between him & the bridge that crosses the deep channel. We sat in awe as he approached, heading directly towards us, passing within feet - truly awesome. Later we watched him cross the bridge to join his second pride - lucky lion!
We were sorry to leave Duba as there is so much more than lion & buffalo & all in a beautiful scenic location.
Duba Plains review
My parents who went to this camp a day before us, were lucky enough to see lion kill a buffalo right in front of them - they said it's something they'd never forget. We also saw a single male lion take on a buffalo calf, but he was driven off by the main buffalo herd before he could kill it.
Our guide was Carlton, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and seemed to have a natural nose for great sightings. He took us to see a family of bat eared foxes as well as jackal pups playing together - lovely to see something different. We also had great bird sightings here including 2 young giant eagle owls.
The camp manager and his staff were quite simply outstanding as they were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary here, and the staff had gone to so much trouble to make the occasion memorable. They had made a cake which they all brought in dancing, clapping and singing a special song they had composed for my parents - it was very touching and special.
One last point - the vehicles all have sun roofs on them now, which is different to what the information on your web-site says.
Duba Plains review
As a lover of big cats this was the place I hoped would be the highlight of the trip, and so it was. We had three nights here and during that time we watched lions mating as well as on another occaision hunting buffalo. On our second day we tracked lions all morning as the pride closed in on the buffalo.
By lunch time one lioness had taken down a calf and without much hesitation the other lionesses who were clearly not going to get much of the kill started another hunt all over again. Insetad of going back to the Lodge for lunch they brought it to us so that we did not miss a thing. The following day we spotted more lions from another pride with possibly the most beautfiul male I have ever seen.
The location of the lodge is great, very close to the airstrip so no long drive to get there. The staff here are, as at all the lodges, very friendly and welcoming, ready to do whatever makes you feel comfortable. It is a shame then that I have one big negative comment not about the Lodge but about Wildernes Safaris. The company allow (own?) the operation of a helicopter in the area both for conveying toursist and also for pleasure flights. We saw and heard it twice in our three night stay. My view is that in a wilderness area a noisy machine like this does not have a place in a Wilderness area. On the second occaision when giving a pleasure flight the helicopter circled the lion hunt and upset the buffalo until one of our guides waved it away.
All of the tourists on the three trucks that morning were very unhappy about what happened especially those that like me had their recordings ruined by the noise. Others like me will make a protest to Wilderness when I can find an email address to which I can send it. Whilst this incident should not in itself detract from what is a superb location and very good lodge, there is a real danger that the use of the helicopter will grow and that might destroy the very thing that tourists got here for peace and quiet as well as superb wildlife.
Duba Plains Review
Staff were very friendly and helpful, Camp had a nice feel, was spacacious and the rooms more than comfortable. Food great as was service. Layout of camp excellent. Thanks particulary to Dudley. All in all cosy,very comfortable and not needing in any aspect.
Would rate camp as a 4* (out of 5) that is not ultra luxurious, but certainly well above any standard rating. Only uncontrollable element was the anilmals and we never saw buffalo!
I also wouldn't necessarily recommend for general game viewing as it is quite restrictive compared to other locations.
A highlight camp for travellers with time
We absolutely loved Duba Plains but it would not be for the traveller only spending a short time in Botswana and staying at just two or three camps.
Having said that, and having been led to believe this was not a place for lots of game viewing, we saw many animals and birds we did not see elsewhere. And, of course, one of our trip highlights was the 2.5 day adventure on the trail of lions tracking buffalo - and seeing the kill literally just before we had to leave!
Our room here was one of our favourites on the whole trip. We had room 6 - a good walk from the main facilities - but in a lovely location. It was very well appointed and very light. The small deck in front of the room was also ideal for a post lunch read or snooze.
While we were there the guests were mainly American - the camp must be getting more publicity there. Hardly any travellers had heard of it apart from those following the Jouberts' books and films.
One disastrous woman but fortunately she and her husband left after only one night as this spot - with no walkways - was not to her liking! It made us realise that one difficult person in a small camp can have quite an impact. Fortunately this was the only time.

Top 10 Health Searches for 2010
December 8, 2010 at 2:09 pm , by Amelia Harnish
I can't remember what life was like before search engines—I turn to the Internet for answers about everything, even my health. Like most people with a computer, at the first sign of symptoms, I'm usually hunting down my own diagnosis before I've even thought about calling the doctor.
"People turn to the web for quick answers," says Robert Glatter, M.D., a New York-based emergency room physician. "A lot of times when people come see me they already have an idea of what's wrong with them."
So what health woes were on our minds this year? As part of their Year in Review coverage, the folks at Yahoo! parsed data from billions of searches for the top 10 health-related terms for 2010, and the results might surprise you.
The list:
1. Pregnancy, 2. Diabetes, 3. Herpes, 4. Shingles, 5. Lupus, 6. Depression, 7. Breast cancer, 8. Gall bladder, 9. HIV, 10. Fibromyalgia
Pregnancy is consistently at the top, says Vera Chan, a Yahoo! web trend analyst, but it's not just moms-to-be doing the digging. "Early symptoms of pregnancy" and "pregnancy tests" were among the top search phrases, which are likely from women concerned that they might be pregnant.
"Pregnancy also figures in reality shows these days—16 and Pregnant, I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant—and celebrity pregnancies spur their own round of queries," Chan says.
While diabetes and pregnancy aren't all that surprising, how did herpes get into the top three? According to the latest numbers from the CDC, prevalence of the herpes simplex virus remains high at about 16 percent. Plus, many people are uncomfortable discussing their sexual health with family, friends and even their doctors, so they turn to the web, Dr. Glatter says. The same goes for HIV coming in at number nine.
"I think there's also an increased sense of the need for testing, so that may be why people are searching for it," he adds.
According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, between 75% and 80% of all Internet users have looked online for health information. But Chan says that women conduct health searches more often than men, which may be why diseases more common in women, like lupus and fibromyalgia, found their way into the top 10.
Dr. Glatter was stunned that autism didn't make it onto the list this year. What do you think—anything else missing?

Prices for the online versions of each tax software are comparable to within a couple of dollars. If you prefer desktop software to the online, you'll pay more for TurboTax desktop, but you also get a smoother navigation and easier guidance compared to H&R Block At Home. If you need the Premier version with a state return, you'll actually pay $10 less than you would for the comparable H&R Block At Home Premium with state.
H&R Block At Home includes a tax professional who attend audit meetings, and to get the same level of help with an audit with TurboTax, you'll need to tack $40 onto the cost of the software. Both TurboTax and At Home offer free help via phone and/or chat if you are audited. But, keep in mind that an audit is very unlikely, and if you have tax questions while you are completing your return TurboTax answers them for free while you only one free tax question answered from H&R Block At Home (additional questions are $20 each).
Best Interview
If you're not solely choosing tax software based on price, don't assume that H&R Block At Home is the best option. TurboTax still has an interface that is slightly easier to navigate, and you'll find answers to many tax questions faster directly from interview where H&R Block At Home may require you to search for the same information. The ability move ahead in the interview to enter information from W-2, 1099s and other forms in TurboTax is really helpful while H&R Block At Home won't let you move ahead. If you have a very basic tax return, this probably won't matter much. But, everyone else will probably finish their tax return faster with TurboTax, and the time savings can be significant.
Tax Help
For the last two years, H&R Block edged out TurboTax in this comparison due to its live professional tax help and the lower price. But, this year, TurboTax has tax pros waiting to take your questions and to help you through a tax audit via phone or chat. Most tax audits never get to the point of meeting or court, though. If you use TurboTax and you want insurance that someone would accompany you to an in-person audit meeting, you'll pay an extra $40.
Which is Best?
In my opinion, TurboTax is the better tax software, and it ranks above any other tax software like TaxACT or CompleteTax (although both are quite good).
If cost is a huge factor for you, use an online version of TurboTax since that tax software is less expensive. If you strongly prefer desktop tax software, you have limited funds and you don't mind spending more time completing a more complex return, then H&R Block At Home is likely the best option for you. Otherwise, I recommend TurboTax.
Individual Reviews:
- Compare Tax Software for Tax Year 2011
- Tax Interviews and Guarantees
- Importing and Transferring Tax Data
- Getting Technical and Tax Help
- Help if You're Audited
- Price Comparisons
- Bottom Line: H&R Block At Home or TurboTax

The American passenger railroad, Amtrak (no 'c' in Amtrak) offers short and long-distance service. It is important to note that taking the train will not necessarily be cheaper than flying or faster than driving/taking the bus, but it may be less stressful, and probably more scenic. You will need to educate yourself on how Amtrak works, and/or get yourself a travel agent that is experienced in booking train tickets.
If you call Amtrak, (800-USA-RAIL, or 800-762-7245) and ask how to get to Disneyland, they will tell you to take the train to Fullerton. The Anaheim Stadium (Edison Field) station is actually closer to Disneyland, but getting off at Fullerton may save you a dollar on the railfare. Both stations are served by Amtrak (also known as the National Rail Passenger Corporation) and Metrolink (aka the Southern California Regional Rail Authority).
The Amtrak and Metrolink Anaheim Stadium (Edison Field) Station is at 2150 E. Katella Ave., Anaheim CA, at St. College, 714-385-1448. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) bus route 50 runs down Katella Avenue outside the stadium parking lot, and will take you straight to the hotel for $1. MapQuest says it's 2.1 miles from the Anaheim station to the Hilton.
The Amtrak/Metrolink Fullerton Station is at 120 E. Santa Fe Ave., Fullerton CA, one block south of Harbor & Commonwealth. Again, one $1 OCTA bus (Route 43) will take you down Harbor Blvd. to the hotel (but it will be a longer bus ride). MapQuest says it's about 5.1 miles from the Fullerton station to the Hilton.
Shuttle Service to Anaheim Hilton/Disneyland area is available from either train station, but it's not a regular run. See our Shuttles page for shuttle service phone numbers.
A taxi ride from the Anaheim Stadium (Edison Field) Station would be a short one, so that's an option to consider. Or if you're renting a car in Anaheim, ask the agency if they'll pick you up at Amtrak. (The hotel won't - it's too far out.) Also the OCTA bus routes - route 43 (Harbor Blvd., for Fullerton) and route 50 (Katella Ave., for Anaheim) might be the way to go, if you don't have too much luggage. Their phone number is 714-636-7433 (RIDE), or see the OCTA web page .
Long-Distance rail fare note: Amtrak often runs "All-Aboard America" fares that get you round-trip coach service with up to three stopovers (think of it as a layover in each direction) for a reasonable price. The catch is that you're traveling coach, and that a bunk (roomettes, etc.) cost extra. If you can handle sleeping in a seat, it's more comfortable than air travel by a long shot.
The "Coast Starlight" is the very popular coastal train that runs from Seattle down to Los Angeles, where you would transfer to another train to get to Anaheim. Please be aware that the Coast Starlight sells out early. You'll want to make your reservations as early as you possibly can.
Amtrak and Rail Canada offers a combined "North America Rail Pass" for a flat rate, with unlimited coach travel and unlimited stopovers over a 30-day period, all over the USA and Canada. See their web sites for more details.
Amtrak also offers a "USA Rail Pass" to foreigners visiting the USA, much the same way an American tourist may buy a Eurailpass when visiting Europe. You have to buy it before you leave home; they're not for sale in America. Check at your local American Consulate, or go to the web site and ask them to send you the USA Rail Pass order form.
If you have an urge to fly into California and take a train from the airport to Anaheim, you need to fly into Burbank. Burbank is the only Southern California airport with an active Amtrak station , next to it.
In addition to Amtrak,
serves Orange County.
Metro Rail
only operates in Los Angeles County, and
the Coaster
in San Diego County.

Early clouds will give way to afternoon sunshine today as highs reach 75. Not quite as cool this weekend...
Our Wednesday starts off with mostly cloudy skies, but expect more sunshine this afternoon as highs reach into the mid-70s in South Florida.
Winds stay up a bit tonight, around 15 mph with lows dropping into the lower 60s. Some inland locations may drop into the upper 50s. Sky conditions should clear out after sunset.
Thursday brings in abundant sunshine and highs in the lower to middle 70s once again.
The next cold front on the map doesn't look like it will make it to South Florida this weekend. Therefore, we've adjusted the temperatures back up to lows in the 60s and highs in the upper 70s for Saturday and Sunday.

Law Schools
Eight Fortune 500 CEOs Are Harvard Law Alums; Five Went to Lower-Ranked Schools
Posted Jun 27, 2012 5:30 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Harvard is apparently the top feeder law school for Fortune 500 CEOs.
U.S. News took a look at the educational backgrounds of Fortune 500 CEOs and found that 46 have law degrees. Eight graduated from Harvard Law School, while three each attended law school at Columbia University, Southern Methodist University, and the University of Virginia.
Five law grads managed to become CEOs at Fortune 500 companies even though they graduated from schools that aren't ranked among the top 100 by U.S. News.
One of them, Richard Anderson of Delta Air Lines, has a degree from South Texas College of Law; U.S. News didn't publish its rank. Two have law degrees from West Virginia University (tied for 101st place), while the other two graduated from law school at Villanova University (also tied for 101st) and the University of Akron (ranked 119th).
Only one of the 46 CEOs with JDs also had an LLM: He's Michael Roth of Interpublic Group, with a JD from Boston University and an LLM from New York University.

Before You Write
Think about the question you want answered. Here are some tips to be sure you phrase your question in a way that will get answered quickly:
- Don't send attachments
I can't open them, and so it won't help your question. If you must show me something visually, post it to a website and send the URL.
- Use a meaningful subject
If your subject looks like spam, chances are it will be deleted without being opened. I have a very strong spam filter, and many spam-like messages I never even see.
- Be specific
If there is an error message include the error message. Include the steps you tried before you had the problem.
- Be polite
I am much more likely to respond favorably to a politely worded request. And remember, all caps in email appears like you're shouting at the recipient, and I don't like to be shouted at.
- Saying thank you is always appreciated
If your question is answered and was helpful, it's always nice to know, but not required.
For a more in-depth look at how to write good questions, read Eric S. Raymond's essay How to Ask Questions the Smart Way.

Geico has integrity if they have pulled their advertising from the hate monger's show.
Boycott this boycott of Geico.
Total views of this boycott
Company responses
Geico has integrity if they have pulled their advertising from the hate monger's show.
Boycott this boycott of Geico.
I have moved on from GEICO, they are a cheap and big money ins company who doesnt support the customers....good by to 4 years worth of wasted time.
Beck is a fascist who is totally opposed to real American values and principles inshrined in the Constitution. As all fascists do, he lies, twists history, makes up his own history, and hates freedom of speech for anyone who disagrees with him. Geico should be commended for pulling their advertising.
Becks a mormons and they are not Americians, they treat their women like extreme islamist do. No marraige no heaven.
Unless you have actually listened to Glenn Beck you have no idea what you're talking about. He actually exposed ACORN & the communist Van Jones. He has done more good for this country than Obama hands down. I will be switching insurance companies pronto! ANY company that chooses a side like Obama does needs to be boycotted as well. All Obama has done is divide us instead of uniting us. No one boycotts the likes of Bill Maher or Tina Fey for their attacks on women. Digusting people!
I did not know of this "boycott. Well...I am moving my vehicle and home insurances accounts to GEICO if they are helping to keep this crazy off the air!
i wont do business with the lizard anymore for this!
I dont really care about Glen Beck, but in general GEICO is one crummy insurance company and I would rather pay more than go with them. Why support GEICO when they dont support there customers!
I'm proud of GEICO. Too bad they ever supported the Beck lunacy in the first place.
It does not matter what GEICO does with there money as long as they cover there claims first which in my case they are not doing. After 35 years with GEICO and watching all there commercials I now see they only advertise to get your money but when it comes time to pay a claim, they fight you tooth and nail. Because they put so much into there adds saying you can save with GEICO, they forgot to mention, If you have a claim, you will get what you paid for, NOTHING. I have been recommending GEICO to people for years, but now I see what a big mistake that was. Since I now have a claim, I found so many people with the same problem, meaning GEICO doing nothing about there claim. Also, your insurance company is supposed to be on your side and not against you like they are being to me. They also make it impossible to get in touch with any of the high officials at there corporate level. So bottom line, DONT go with GEICO, you will get exactly what you paid for, NOTHING!
Only the real wackos of America would join this boycott. Boycott this boycott!
Gotta say I am pretty far to right, but I gotta say Glenn Beck is a total loser. It just goes to show how stupid some Americans can be, too support that monger you gotta have some serious diminshed brain capacity.
Get a life. Geico has a right to advertise when and where it chooses. If Geico doesn't want to support shows with the bombastic Mr. Beck on them, so be it.
good for you; Glen Beck is a liar,a hate monger, & plays on peoples fear GO GEICO!!
Kudos to Geico and the other sane companies that yanked their advertising from Beck's hateful and laughably false revisionism. His show is over now. Good riddance!
And no, there are NOT more Americans to the right of the podium than to the left. You think that by yelling louder and making a scene, we'll think there are more of you? Just check out the comments here; they are 10 to 1 AGAINST Beck, and FOR Geico.
It is reassuring to know that when fringe hate mongers start clamoring to hijack this great nation, there is a vast Center in this country that will rise up to shake off the tyranny of the few.
Go back to your dark corner where you belong. There are vastly more of us than you. We are taking back our country from the ignorant haters.
I have Geico Insurance which is due in May however i will be changing my insurance. just remember there are more right of the podium than left of the podium
I have to laugh when I read comments about Beck the idiot or Beck the Neo Nazi. It is so sad to see so many people say such stupid things about something they know absolutely nothing about and don't even watch. They read it somewhere or repeat it from someone they admire and just swallow it hook line and sinker. Then they go show they're ignorance by making comments like these. Why not read a book or here's an idea...watch the show and see for yourselves what Beck is saying or doing. Good grief.
Really people, does anyone out there actually think an insurance company of the size of Geico cares one whit what any of you think of its policies? The ONLY thing insurance companies care about is your cash and how they can get their hands on it.

Beck is a idiot...the whole Fox network are for big business
to hell with the general poulation who are out of work, no health insurance, and a group in washington that said NO to everything Obama tried to do.
If you will look at the graphs of the debt in our history, the Reagan years and the years of BS Bush were the highest in getting this country into more debt. When Bush was in for those nighmarish 8 years our debt went up 85%....I believe we need a revolution in this country. The people need our country back not a bunch of corporations taking it over.
I'm ashamed of our politicians....we need term limits for both houses..no more than 8 years...like the president.
If the religious right want to get involved in politics...let them pat taxes like everyone else!
Hilarious that you think they should leave politics out of a business decision. Isn't that exactly what your encouraging when you ask for support in your boycott? I can't imagine blindly giving my business to any company - personal politics always factors in for me, as it does for you clearly, with your recommendation that Geico reinstate their ad spots on a neo-Nazi "news" show. When you incite people with inflammatory and hate-based rhetoric, you pay the consequences that are dealt out by consumers or companies who have no patience with such crap. I'm glad I stopped by Boycott Owl today. I will be giving my business to Geico now, for two reasons: First, to show support for the sensible and character rich who use their business to better the world and help drive the idiot and violent right wing crackpots into the pathetic dark corner which they deserve, and two, to show that when you start a campaign to boycott a company, it may backfire when intelligent and progressive minds are introduced to your backward ideology. Thank you. D. McGraw.
I hate the Geico ads, but I applaud Geico's decision to stop advertising on the show of this fraud, Glenn Beck.
His awareness of real historical data, as well as historical methodologies, is pitiful.
It is sad that people spend hours listening to his bilge.
I can't believe all the uneducated people that have stated their comment. They follow along blindly and go with the flow, just like Geico. You are too ignorant to use you brain and understand what Beck is really saying. You have to have a brain and use it. I will not be using Geico or it's products.
I want to admire and support a company that stands up to the right-wing Coprorate Media, especially when they stand up against the lie merchant Beck. I am switching to GEICO. Long live freedom.
I think it is prudent for companies to associate themselves with moderate, middle of the road entities and to avoid extreme content.
Glenn Beck is a poor excuse for a journalist...and for a human being...
Yea, I'm adding my 2 cents worth on this childish boycott. Seems as though people are no longer permitted to voice a comment without being called a "Communist" or a "Marxist" or some other inappropriate name. This boycott shows me there are too many children playing on their parents' computer. I'd say go ahead and cry, whine, and throw your temper tantrums and see what that'll do for you! Grow up, accept life as it comes, and adjust.
Has anyone - besides me - ever noticed that when a business decision is made, all the supposedly intelligent people suddenly start to whine and cry? Obviously GEICO has a better place to spend their money than on a POS like Beck and Company! I'd bet the top executives at GEICO won't lose a minutes sleep over their (excellent) decision to pull their financial support from FOX, the most biased news on the tube!
Beck is a hate spewing mongrel like his Alaskan sister Sarah. It figures they'd work for Fox; a subsidiary of the Tea Party (formerly called the Obstructionist Party).
Way to go, GEICO! Spend your money where folks will appreciate your product. Why waste money where few people can understand what you're selling. I read here the Repubs support FOX so one could expect their "reporting" to be slanted (biased) towards their Sugar Daddy and intentionally ignore the FACTS. Don't have GEICO insurance; but support your management decision 110%!!!!!
Glad to hear GEICO is no longer sponsoring the hate, lies, and the anti-American slander and biased comments over the air waves by FOX Noise. Inasmuch as FOX Noise receives millions in support from the GOP, I'd say let the GOP continue supporting the likes of Beck, Palin, O'Reilly and the other hate mongers (Bush, Cheney, Rove, etc.).

So GEICO has put their money where there mouth is and isn't sponsoring Glenn Beck. That is more of a pressuring from some special interests more than "freedom of speech". So it's their right to pull their ads. It's our right to boycott them if we wish. The progressives aren't happy with having 9/10ths of the networks spouting liberal crap. They want to muzzle the one remaining that is trying to present the other side, and everyone else as well. Funny how rights are so one-sided If the USA sucks so bad that we have to change it, why not find a "better" place to live that's already that way! Don't let the door hit you on your way out.
He should be boycotted!
IM getting rid of my geico insurance. Im going with Beck on this one.
Im going with Geico now just bacause they dropped his show...
He is an idiot and deep down all of you know it. 15 minutes of fame and chances are he will be back to digging ditches for Karl Rove...
Give your business to people you feel support your political interests. Glen Beck does not support mine. Hats off to Geico!
I question the sanity of Beck supporters. My own brother included. He is an African American Republican,Living off of social programs created by the"Leftists" All that he has in life was given to him by parents who were involved in organized labor. Beck is against all that made America great
Let me just C & P the description: Boycott Description
Geico has bent to the will of the leftist media and pulled its advertising from the Glenn Beck show. Geico should keep politics out of its advertising decision making and should not take sides in such debates.
Let me re-type the sentence: Geico should keep out of politics out of its advertising decision making and should not take sides in such debates.
Uh, weren't they just on someone's side? So now you're boycotting because Geico has left your idol. I agree that big corporates should stay out of politics altogether. Politics is about the people and their ideas, not about money. Too bad though money wins.
I am not fond of Geico but have a sudden urge to vomit on truly ignoramus beings who act like 'knowitalls' who claim to 'speak' for 'the majority'. Which brings me to Glenn Beck = vomit. I am a free thinking ' informed' non-partisan human being and I don't approve this boycott. Burp!
Beck fans there is a difference between censorship and not paying the bills for stupid talk. Glen Beck is still free to go out on the street or to the National Mall and say whatever he likes short of inciting crimes. Deciding not to pay his bills is the definition of freedom. Your free to disagree and I am free to continue thinking you are an idiot.
Shame on you GEICO! Glenn Beck is one of our heroes who is trying to get our country back from the communists.
Remember, GEICO stands for Government Employees Insurance Company. If you don't believe me, look at Wikipedia.
Thanks Geico. I can happily keep my policies there
Just so you know, anyone who is not a member gets the title "anonymous" when they enter there post. This is only one of many reason however, for why you most likely succeeded in convincing no one about the rightness of your stance on this issue (except for people who are even greater bigots than yourself of course!)
To the reader, it is evident that you attack the other commenter's character because you do not have any actual arguments. Moreover, I am curious to know when you say, "Maybe you should go live in one of those [communist] countries for a while," are you advocating to us to go and live in Communist Russia? Of course, I can try, but my time machine isn't working too well; can I use yours?
I also find it amusing that you tell the other commenter to, "go back to school" even though it appears that your response was constructed by someone with the grammar skills of a fifth grader.
Finally, I just wanted to praise your argument on Glenn Beck. Essentially, in your entire rant, you are trying to prove that Glenn Beck is a good guy. How do you go about achieving this? Well, by saying Glenn Beck is good guy! If the reader can't understand that, they just must be retarded right?
If you actually support conservatives and the free market like your claim too, you would be in support of Gieco's move. Clearly, if Gieco is advertising more heavily towards the liberal audience, they believe they will earn a higher revenue for whatever reasons. It is because companies are making decisions like this constantly, about where the demand is, how to optimize revenue, etc., that the free market works so beautifully; this is Adam Smith's "invisible hand" at work.
Overall, I really hope that people in this country are able to express themselves better than you can. Otherwise, zero intellectual or cultural progress will occur, and we will end up with people resorting to rude and abrasive language, just to tear other people down.

I will be cancelling my policies with Geico as I don't agree with censorship of the 5th estate as egregious as most of it is.
I got "ANONYMOUS" when I keyed the previsous response. I am not afraid of telling you all who I am. I am retired Law Enforcement, and a US Marine. It is shameful that such a person would publish such post. I wrote the First, Second, Third, and the narrative. I read a few of the other posts. They too seem to think your off base.....
First, I have been a customer of Geico for over 14 yrs. I have never seen the Co. take a position in politics.
Second, "Anonymous" you don't have the balls to Identify yourself so you have no say.
Thirdly, and most importantly, you are ignoant. You should not reproduce or vote. You must be mentally challenged.
Glenn Beck is one of the nations hero's to stand up to the people trying to destory this country. Like Harry Reid, and Pelosi. You would mostlly likely vote for Chee Shavaris,[I know I spelled it wrong] He too was a communist and killed off 10s of thousands and is praised by nuts like you. You need to go back to school and or read about history, communists like Stalin, Marx, and one of today Kim Ill Jun. Maybe you should go live in one of those countries for a while. If you think Beck is wrong DO THE RESEARCH. You will discover how right he is. If you are not the answer you are clearly part of the problem.
I have been to war, no one wins. This country was built on GOD, Guns, and Glory. You should learn to be an AMERICAN. Learn the U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights, and only in AMERICA, could you publish such trash.
I will buy my insurance from them from now on. Thanks for the heads up. Glen Beck is a disease.
My boycott has nothing to do with Beck. My reason is the double sucker punch of: 1) terrible premiums and 2) worst annoying commercials.

Geico has every right to select who they want to sponsor/advertise with. But if they do because they do not like what the man has to say then they are being discriminate. So if I don't like what the Red cross, NAACP oe WETA stand for then I can drop them or exculde them from advertising on my popular show or network...right? RIGHT! but then I'd have Al sharpton and the ACLU trying to sue me over racialy intolerance and even being a racist.
Let Geico remove their advertising from Fox News all together. Fox News only has about three of top ten most watch cable news programs on television, one of whisch IS the most watched cable news program. They're only hurting themselves if they're hurting at all. Beside, its a free country and they can do whatever they please with their business.
Beck tells the truth and the Liberal Nut Cases only comeback is I hate Bush. Beck has come real close to the higher ups in Giaco who are open Athiests and all of the are Liberal Cowards. Beckt tells the usefull idiots the truth and they have no responce or comback except it's Bush's fault. All you liberal freaks join Warren Buffet and while head on over to AARP another Liber haven. Giaco and AARP and the NAACP will
I'm proud of Geico and their decision to avoid Glenn Beck. He and other "personalities" are the reason the world looks at the US and laughs.
Good for Geico. I am not a customer, but may send them a donation!
Glen Beck is not only a fascist, he is an idiot. Right on Geico and may others follow.
for all of you who are unaware, Warren Buffett owns GEICO. If you pay attention to his leanings and where he uses his influence when it comes to politics, you will see that it was a political move.
Refusing to run Glenn Beck advertisements does not suggest that Geico is run by a leftist agenda, but rather that they might aversion to fanaticism. Good for Geico.
Thank God Geico has the good sense to pull their advertising from this fanatic, he does NOT represent main stream Republican voters.
we should all be concerned when corporations get into politics
My guess is that who ever wrote this works for Haliburton, I mean - Cheney, $50 toilet seat covers, I told a Republican about Haliburton, he didn't believe me. Six months later after see an expose on Haliburton, he said that he was no longer going to vote Repblican. A true story unlike others on here.
"Those people cheering Geico probably have something else to say about Haliburton, eh? Don't be political idiots. Think for yourselves, left nuts!" - Who at Haliburton wrote this?
Also I would think that this boycott was written by someone from Beck's show. Or someone that is really clueless. Geico should be commended for taking a stand against mean spirited multi millionaire commentators, like Beck & Rush, (or rather as their co-horts call them - entertainers). What is sad is that the uneducated are being used.
Right Wing Nut? You are all out of touch like the government "public servants to their own ends and pockets". Do you not know about the proposed MOSQUE at the 9-11 ground zero sight? Educate yourself and got to snoops and type it in.....THEN tell me who the nuts are. Not to mention the proliferation of the border by undocumented democrates..............
Thanks Geico for not supporting hate speech. Exercize your rights in a free market economy and sponsor whom you choose!
Someone is finally paying attention to all the hatred and fear mongering littering the FOX Channels!
Glenn Beck is a dangerous, uninformed, hateful person who is able to sway the opinion of the uneducated. Fortunately, the percentage of these "right-wing" lunatics is very small, compared to the rest of the US consumer base. They seem "larger than life" because they whine loudly and try to manipulate public opinion without educating themselves with the facts. Funny also how so many of the postings of these extremists have incomplete sentences and misspellings in their posts...very telling. Voting with your dollar is important, but be sure to get the facts and educate yourselves. We live in a society that supports the 1st Amendment. Beck and his ilk want to take that right away from us all.
I'm happy to see some corporate social responsibility. Pulling ads from Beck's show is a good move. Whether Geico and other corporations are actually "persons" under US law, it's gratifying to see signs of moral conscience. (Yes, I know. They're making a bottom line decision, but it's a good one.)
I'm glad that Geico pulled it's advertising from the Glenn Beck show. Glenn Beck is a hate-filled, xenophobic little man and companies should stay clear of bigots/idiots like him.
I left geico right after i heard about this. They seemed very concerned, one of the executives actually called me to try and bring me back. I think they lost a lot of business because of their little foray into politics. Ironically, they never chose to advertise on Beck's show. They just paid a bulk fee for random slots. They could have said this and left well enough alone but Geico decided to become politically active.
Left or right, we should all be concerned when corporations are becoming the driving force behind our politics. In fact, I would think the LEFT would be particularly concerned, considering the wealth in this country seems to be mostly in the hands of those on the right. Those people cheering Geico probably have something else to say about Haliburton, eh? Don't be political idiots. Think for yourselves, left nuts!
I'm nor will I be a Geigo customer--they are neither afforadable or that competitive for drivers with excellent records--but I applaud them for disassociating themselves with the likes of GlennBeck and the garbage he expouses and his attempt at nothing less than white supremacy. He and Rush are typical examples of promoting violence through mod-mentality thinking and complete distortion of the truth--not at all unlike Hitler and those Arian Race Brothers. Scumbags indeed!
I will cancel my policy and tell all my friends to do the same----arent you in the business to make money----can you the hear us----FREE MARKET!
You have caved and by doing so, I have to assume that your company will soon be in the "share the wealth" program----good for you and all your "equal" customers!
First, Geigo is a company and as such when a contract is up can make any business moves it wishes.
Beck supporters are a small but loud group, just like Palin supporters. But that doesn't stop either group from whinning and trying to reload, now does it?
Glen and his fellow wing-nuts advocate violence. I'm proud of Geico for doing the right thing and removing they money from his cause.
ISUPPORT YOU 100% geico!!!!!!!!
Way to go GEICO! "Caving" to the left. Figures you're as stupid as a caveman! Glenn Beck rocks... Hmmmm Maybe he should throw a few stones your way and knock a little sense into you. A caveman would understand that, right?
To stay affiliated with Glenn "hate-monger" Beck in any way, shape, or form is definitely bad for business. Though his supporters are a loud bunch, they are thankfully also a small one. Their maniacal bark is much worse than their actual bite. Good riddance I say. Soon there will be another global tragedy like Haiti for them to spit on, and Geico will be far from their feeble little minds.
Glad to hear so many people switching to Gieco because of this anti-boycott. There may be hope for this country after all.
Glenn Beck should be glad Geico is not going to advertise on his show. Geico does not have the integrity to be good enough to be a sponsor. Pray you are never the victim of one of their policy holders. You will end up having to use your own insurance for damages then sue them for restitution.
Goodbye, Geico! Our auto insurance with you expires October 31 & we're switching to Met Life. Better coverage at a cheaper price & we refuse to support companies that cave into political pressure. There are a lot of consumers out there who drive cars and support Glenn Beck. You just lost another one!
The American customer is a powerful voice (hence the power of boycotts) and Geico is a customer of Glenn Beck's advertising services. Why in the world shouldn't Geico have the right to pull their business from a provider for political reasons? FURTHERmore even if Geico were acting apolitically, then chosing to advertise with someone else might simply reflect their understanding that many of their own customers might be turned off by their association with Beck- a smart business move, wouldn't you say?
But now that I am I'll be sure to give Geico my business.
Anyway why would you want to punish Geico? By allowing Geico to do as it sees fit and pull its advertising from Beck's show Beck will have yet another opportunity to blubber like a five-year-old on national TV. My God how proud all you Beck Kool-Aid drinkers must be every time the nutty alcoholic Mormon turns on the waterworks and begins crying.
an overly emotional actor. He is NOT a newsman. He should be on NBC with Friends. Or better yet a tele-novela.
Go Geico! I can't think of any good reason to have Beck in any speaking role for the purposes of good capitalist advertising. He is best served as an ignored dish: Much like arugala in an untouched salad.
GEICO screws over its customers and employees all the time. Get a quote from Allstate or State Farm for those wanting to leave GEICO.
I dont see why conservatives would have a problem with this. Isn't this the perfect example of the free market. If a company does something improper or supports an agenda that is not yours you have every right to let them know that you will stop using their product or service.
My father was a true libertarian (before it was Republicans started saying they were) and he always defended the free market by saying we need no government control of companies because if a company does something the people don't approve of the people will stop buying from them.
Or is this one of those "it's ok when WE do it but don't you dare do it" things. Like accusing people of giving aid and comfort to our enemies by speaking ill of the president when we have troops in the field.
I am glad that I don't use Geico -- if I did I would change my insurance
The Geico Marketing Department is full of double-speaking Hypocrites... they have stated that their official position is that "Gieco does not necessarily agree-with or endorse the programs on which it advertises"... and yet that is PRECISELY the reason that that cowered to the radicals at "ColorOfChange.org" and have chosen to attempt to sensor the voice of conversatives. They made this decision solely because they do not agree with the "opinions expressed" on Glen Beck's show.
Notice that they do not yank their advertising off of the David Letterman Show (even if he refers to a well-liked Conservative Governor as a "slutty flight-attendant" and makes sexually degrading comments about her children). They do not yank their advertising off of the Jay Leno Conan O'Brien Jimmy Fallon The View The Opera Show MSNBC CNN or any other program based on "opinions expressed".... only Glen Beck as a Conservative!
As a long-standing customer with Geico (over 25 years) I am saddened that this company (after taking over $30000.00 of premiums from me) is choosing to "play politics" and "sensor opinions".
It's time to encourage EVERYONE to leave Geico... because WE DON'T AGREE WITH THEIR "OPINION" either.
Bye Bye Stupid Lizard Guy!!!
One of Geico's current commercial's has the gecko stealing a man's dollar and using it to buy chips. This is the wrong message to send to kids. You do not steal from others.
while you bow to the boycott of some americans...you wind up offending the rest of americans who are faithful fox news watchers... I for one am glad to see you go..Geico...
Thank you for the information of the boycott. Just like these companies (GEICO P& G Progressive- the CEO of Prgressive is very good friends with G. Soros and his ilk.) can block advertising on shows they don't consider politically in line with I can refuse to purchase from these companies. I won't go to see movies with S. Pean S. Sarandon and her live-in actor partner G. Clooney Jane Fonda etc.
It IS STill A Free Country
All these commies become capitalists when they fear losing $$$.
Y'all pulled your support of Glenn Beck but still contribute to Michael Vick's salary? Seriously?
I work for GEICO and to sit here and listen to you all rant and rave about how we pulled our advertising because we side with one polictal party or another is wrong. We believe in our right to free speech just as Glen Beck has his right to say what ever the hell he wants. To read the things that people say about us as a collective unit is wrong. We each have a right to believe what we want that is why we live in the US. I just wish people would understand that being in the center of a political debate is not where we wanted to be. We are neither for not against Glen Beck we are indifferent. Each one of us has that right to be neutral. So you boycot my company we lose money we lose jobs we go on unemployment and we lose everything...God I am proud to be an American
You guys are all total Neo-Con Radical Facists. Why don't you take your Uzi's your satelite TV in a Trailer and move into the hills of West Virgina Where you can shoot your hollow points while cheering on the uneducated non-journalistic "talk show hosts" on Fixed News while munching your freedom fries. The rest of normal civlized society will be down here talking about issues instead of radicalized slanderous mudslinging
Congratulations to Geico for not supporting this self serving lying social reporter.
I have just changed from GEICO to Allstates after 3 years of giving them my business. They will be sorry because we are the customers the people making them money. I guarantee most of this radical group are unemployed and uninsured. They have nothing to do but harass these companies. Companies should never get involved in politics. Very bad business decision.
Thank you for your continued support of the Glen Beck Show and not caving into the radical left attack machine.
Just posted my comments on a BUY CONSERVATIVE forum.
"Did you all see the heavy Radio Shack NASCAR advertising Sunday they even ran back to back ads for "THE SHACK". How unfortunate as I see today they been placed on alert as a new radical left supporter. Just as I replaced my GIECO auto insurance finding better insurance for a lesser price I feel it is best to shop elsewhere. In the Metro Phoenix area I suggest looking at Walmart for toys Alltel or Verizon for phones and Best Buy Fry's Electronics or Walmart for computers TV's and other consumer electronics."
I would love to see Fox news refuse to accept any advertisers who don't want their ads aired during Glen Beck's show. Fox is the top rated news channel so screw Geico Et Al let them advertise on one of the Obamabot channels where nobody will see them.
I am saddened and embarassed for Geico and know that the only thing I can do to affect change is to stop giving them by business. I know many others who will be doing the same.
I plan to switch to Geico simply because the company chose to pull its support from that bigoted moron.
Geico certainly has a right to align itself with people who do not understand freedom of speech and those who think it was wrong for them to do so have a right to let them know. Yes in the USA we do still have freedom of speech and so do you who don't agree. As for me I choose to BOYCOTT!!!! Go Mr. Beck!
We don't need our insurance company playing politics.. they don't pull ads off of other shows when they say hateful things do they?
I pledge to encourage 25 people to drop GEICO or to not use them when looking for insurance.
I pledge to encourage those 25 people to encourage 25 others to drop Geico or not use them.
I am pulling my auto insurance from your company as of tomorrow. Most of us who watch Glenn Beck and FOX NEWS are the hardworking tax payers who buy your insurance and/or products and invest in your companies. I am writing to all the other advertisers as well.
Consider another customer that has walked away. Pay attention do not play sides. It will come back to bite you Geico!
Mr. Buffett;s extreme left Liberism is showing
I am not going to give one cent to Geico. I am ashamed of this cowardly move and will urge all freedom loving americans to make sure their money does not go to furthering the Liberal cause anymore. Take back the POWER of the purse from these leftists.
God Bless America!
So to categorize a company who pulls advertising from a talk show as socialists is wrong. Considering they are owned by the richest man in the worl next to Bill gates. I am a conservative to the core but to boycott companies over this nonsense is anti-capitalism in its own right.
I was looking to replace my AAA insurance but using those vendors that are willing to follow the whims of those working to hurt America is not where I choose to spend my money. Companies that are willing to submit themselves to a socialist viewpoint will feel the financial sting from those who want to protect this great country from that kind of damage.
i JOIN THE BOYCOTT AGAINST GEICO.
My analysis: Don't support GEICO's products or their liberal funding projects. "Productive fulfilled people determine where to put their efforts choosing to wisely utilize precious time…to build up.
GLEN BECK SHOW IS GOOD FOR AMERICA. NOW GEIGO REPRESENTATIVE STATES "It is of little benefit to us if a program gets so much attention that our message is drowned out. "
BECK RATINGS ARE: Fox News Beck 2417000
GEICO'S MESSAGE: WE DON'T SUPPORT DEBATE AND ANALYSIS OF FACTS. WE DON'T WANT TO BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH THE CROWD WHO ARE DETERMINED TO NOT GO WITH THE FLOW--LIKE DEAD FISH DO--and actually think analyze the facts make decisions and then cast their vote.
Boycotting Glen Eeck is the work of one of Obama's "Czars". we're watching totalitarians attempt a takeover the Shining Beacon.
And Boycott guy do you have 9.8 million friends to move out of geico?? Didnt think so. Get a life nerd.
Hey idiot boycotting can hurt people and their families. I dont come steal food off your table. Geico pulled because beck made a negative comment big deal.
People don't be fooled by this Boycott creator. He probably just works for a competitor of GEICO and is just trying to spread negativity. Take it easy man.
You choose to pull your advertising from Glenn Beck however continue to advertise on Rachel Maddow Ed Schultz and Keith Olberman. You choose to support hate speech over liberty and although you have the right to do so should be ashamed.
THANK YOU for dropping your sponsorship of Glen Beck's show!! His rants and raves are his right - but he (and his "network" ) also needs to know his "hate speech" has financial consequences. Also - compare his "rants" about the "state of the U.S. health care system" in January 2008 (when he had just had a MINOR health scare) to what he is saying now. He is either a liar very confused or just insane. . .or all of the above????

Entertainment behind the scenes
Smashing Pumpkins to hold auditions for new drummer
(Writing and reporting by Dean Goodman)
Minor rock 'n' roll stardom could be less than two weeks away for one lucky drummer.
The Smashing Pumpkins are holding auditions in Los Angeles on April 10, seeking a replacement for founding member Jimmy Chamberlin, who quit the resurrected grunge-era mainstays earlier this month.
Potential Pumpkins have been asked to email their background information, photos and Web links showing their performances to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Pumpkins mainman Billy Corgan, 42, the group's sole original member, plans to head into the studio this spring with his hired hands to record a follow-up to the band's 2007 reunion album "Zeitgeist."
Whoever wins the audition has some big shoes to fill, as Chamberlin, 44, played a key role in shaping the sound of one of the biggest groups of the 1990s. The one album he did not play on, 1998′s "Adore," was considered a commercial and critical disappointment. Chamberlin was banished from the group for two years because of drug problems, but was reinstated in time to appear on the 2000 pre-breakup album "Machina."
In a statement announcing his latest departure, Chamberlin said he could "no longer commit all of my energy into something that I don't fully possess. I won't pretend I'm into something I'm not. I won't do it to myself, you the fan, or my former partner. I can't just, 'Cash the check' so to speak."
I've been scanning youtube for audition videos. There is such a wide variety. Found this guy, and he's deffinitely worth checking out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MppRHXBB8 Jw
