John asks…
How come even the few supposedly ‘Liberal’ commentators on Fox News sound like Conservatives?
Juan Williams spends so much time sucking up to Bill O’Reilly it makes me nauseus. Your thoughts?
Michelle answers:
A legal term, “puffery” refers to exaggerated statements, opinions and claims not backed by facts that no reasonable person would take seriously. It has been used as a defense in lawsuits and has found a place in politics and punditry. The FTC has not pursued obviously exaggerated claims in advertising since 1984. Recently, Roger Ailes, President of Fox News, at a conference debating the decline of journalism in America to the tabloid level said, “Fox News is not in the news business, we are in the ratings business and we are winning.” Monetizing speculative gossip has its rewards as Fox News made $720 million last year, Ailes $23 million. Glenn Beck, a former magician, in interviews last year stated he was “not a journalist” but a “rodeo clown” and that anyone that believed what he said was “an idiot.” He has repeatedly stated that if he “didn’t believe what he says, he’s a fraud.” He has found a niche market in forecasting the news as entertainment. He isn’t saying Obama is a racist, the idiots that he can make believe it are. Sarah Palin is the new money machine for Fox News. Don’t expect to see her getting run over by a tank in Tienamen Square. Before profit from deception again became fashionable, another illusionist, P. T. Barnum once said “There’s a sucker born every minute.” America, you’re being had!
Sandy asks…
Palestinians do you remember Rachel Corrie and her bravery?
On the 16th of March 23 year old Rachel Corrie an American Peace Activist was murdered by an Israeli bulldozer while she was trying to prevent the home of a Palestinian family from being demolished.
Michelle answers:
Yeah, I think people should stop stereotyping
Westerners and Jews think all muslims are terrorists
muslims think all jews and westerners are racist and bad.
There are people like Ahmed Zueil, Farouq El Baz, Mustafa El-Sayed and older people like Ibn El haitham, Ibn Sina, or Khawarizmi.
That is not true, Rachel is a very good example. There’s also norman finkelstein, A jewish professor who got kicked out of Harvard and banned from Israel because he opposed israel for it’s inhumane force it used against Palestine in Dec 08.
I think racism and hatred should be eliminated by getting to know one another and stop listening to the stereotype we get from FOX news and the media.
(13) O mankind! We created you from (a single pair of) a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another (not that you may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is he who is the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Quran 49:13)

Michelle answers:
This close to the end of last season I don’t even think the Networks have the exact dates of fall premieres set in stone yet…
That said as a rule I’d look for each show to restart in late September/Early October
Look for
1. Castle on September 19 or 26 (1 launched in March, while 2 & 3 were on 9/21 and 20)
2. Chuck on the 9/23 or held until January (1,2 &4 were between 9/20 and 9/29, with 3 being in January)
3. BBT on 9/29 or 10/6 (1-4 have all debuted between 9/21-24)
4. Vamp. Diaries will likely come really early or Late, so 9/15 or 10/13 (9/9 and 9/10 so far)
5. Bones 9/15 or 9/22 (1-6 have ranged from 8/30-9/23 so far, 2 and 4 being early were likely to accomodate Fox’s airing of the World Series, and how the game dates alligned with it’s then timeslot)
I am totally guessing based on when the cited dates that they usually launched and their day of the week from this past season (or in Chuck’s case where I did read it was getting a 12 episode season on Friday — which also lends it to being held until January, but no doubt it will be in the can by September so they can use it as a back up if something else tanks first)
but even now most New Show Promos simply use the Generic “Fall” rather than even settling on a Month, let alone a week
Sharon asks…
What is a video card and how can I upgrade it ?
I’ve seen something about video cards and that they can make my PC game run faster but I have no idea what video cards are or how can I upgrade them xD.
Thanks in advance :$
Michelle answers:
You are right, modern games need a graphics card (or also called a gpu) to run properly.
It can be a problem identifying what type of graphics card your computer will take.
There is 2 types.
The older type is an agp card. Here is a pic http://www.vistax64.com/attachments/graphic-cards/10258d1235109561-work-around-intel-doesnt-supply-vista-driver-800px-agp_slot.jpg its one of the grey slots
the newer card is called pcie x 16 here is pic http://www.3dnews.ru/_imgdata/img/2008/05/23/fox/slots.jpg its the yellow slot.
The graphics card just sits in one of these slots and you connect your monitor to it, through one of the little panels at the bottom rear of pc case
you will have to find which one your pc takes. Google you make and model number of ypur pc followed by specs. Eg. Acer aspire t671 specs. Or just take side off pc
these will tell you what type of card your pc takes.
Also the better graphics cards need more power to run.
Most mid to high level cards need a 400w psu (power supply unit, where the power lead enters pc)
but most store bought computers only have a 250w or 300w psu. So sometimes you have to upgrade this as well. But some lower level cards will run on a 300w psu.
Also you need a balance.
A slow processor with a fast graphics card will slow the graphics card, as the processor feeds data to the graphics card, the gpu will have to wait on the slow processor.
This also works in reverse with a fast processor and slow gpu.
Could you say your pc specs in additional details.
Speed of processor
amount of ram
computer name and model number
and i will try to advise you more
it sounds daunting, but it is quite easy as long as you know some basics
