like because itts not, it's not easyy like because they park you behind the desk and they're3 like alrightng. but you're usually like upú like this and you're looking down at a monitor here and3 your eck is craned and your arm's up. and, and the puppet, it's not like they make it easy to do that. like your thumbs get really tired. and but it was -- it was -- it was fun and i'm glad that people eejoyed it. >> and you got to, to do it in front of him. >> i did, yes. >> in the end he came on the program and he essentially debated himself or talked to himself in, in puppet form. >> he talked to himsell and iiwwll give, i will give michael steele a lot of credit. one, he is a person who is very self-aware and willing to sort of laugh at himself, which issrare and i thhnk ú&en rarer among politicians and people in that, in thaa world. but when we talkeddto him about it, i, i went backstage anddi, and i was talking with him. and he was also just a very interesting guy. like you, you really got the sense that he was really hampered by the rnc. and, and sort of by the, the watchdogs f the, you know

how great would itt be to wake p every morning and have ochocinco playing x-box in his underwear on yourch? remember levi johnson. he has a sister, mercede. they have names without the "s" on the end. they have siblings docker and skittle. his sister, mercede, will b the first "playboy" model to have shot her own bear-skin rug. she says the oldest son used cocaine and oxycontin. and sarah palin forced him to go to the military to protect himself. and she predicted a mental breakdown if she became president. and the photographer said, turn a little bit, i can only see one nipple. strange news regarding ernie and burt. there is a petition urging them to get married on the show. more than 33,000 people have signed it so far. it was inspired by the appearance on "project runway." i grew up in the theater. a lot of my design is very costumed based. a lot of people's ideas are less is more. mine is more is better. >> jimmy: how does he sew with three fingers? i don't know about the petition. i have a lot to say. if you don't mind, i'm going to get on my high horse for a minute. will you play s

itt ethen became a hunt for bla hawk down, more than 40 u.s.roops were killed overall in "operation restore hope." they opened up corridors for food to be brought in safely, but it did not end the way that the u.s. hoped. you have a situation with 9,000 african union peacekeepers fighting since 2007, not just doing peacekeeping but peace enforcing, they have especially in the last year taken the battle to al shabaab and today for the first time they took us to the marketplace that al shabaab has controlled for years. it's the first time the african union troops have been inside the market and it was extraordinary to see them being able to get to areas that they have never been in before. they say this is a real opportunity if the international community responds right now to get some more african union peacekeeping troops in here to really stabilize the situation and perhaps -- perhaps -- give somalia a chance, but this is a country that has had chanced in the past, those opportunities have been missed. it is -- it is the most unusual city i ha

but there's one thing on the dance floor and if it's unwanted, what is itt like if it's consensual andtwo people interact sometimes? >> it is definitely important to acknowledge that grinding is one healthy way of sexual expression if it is consensual. people have been doing it for a long time. it might be embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch. but it is health can if it's consensual. if it's nonconsensual it's a violation of personal space and feels threatening. >> two different stories there. >> absolutely. >> if you're a parent and watching this and going, oh, should i have a conversation with my kid about grinding? how do i go about that. >> you don't have to say have you ever grinded with someone but can you say what are the parties or school dafrnss look like? are they doing these things and explain what your issues are? it's uncomfortable to watch. it might be embarrassing. how others see you. it's not just a discussion to have with girls. there is no double standard here. we should be having it with boys too. >> you often say it because your book, you know, "third base ain't

now,w, category 3 and getting more porful, as itt tears through the caribbean and on its way up the east coast. sam is track the path. let's start with abc's linsey davis in the bahamas where they've seen what punch irene is packing. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, george. we were in the same location yesterday. and let me tell you what a difference a day makes. the wind has picked up drastically. the waves have started moving several feet closer to the shore. and many of the homes behind me now boarded up. all in preparation for the potentially devastating effects of hurricane irene, which is expected to arrive in this area this afternoon. packing 100-mile-an-hour winds, hurricane irene is plowing through the caribbean. the latest victim, turks and caicos. the sheer force of these winds nearly ripping street signs out of the ground. in the dominican republic, buildings are destroyed. trees knocked down. the national hurricane center's hurricane hunters flew directly into irene, shooting these incredible images. you can actually see the eyewall of the storm. but irene's

itt set a high standard for insurance commissioners around the country. is that haley or hallee? welcome. are you enjoying washington? a greatll you're having summer. it seems like you have been swimming. [laughter] thank you for coming. you said something about the health insurance exchanges which will be up in 2014. since i come from a state that has a lot of small businesses and i have met with them on this issue, when in 2014 comes up, because of the number of employees you have, you will go to an exchange. you will have more competition, more people competing for covering you. it will be open and transparent. will that help you in terms of your premiums and the quality of coverage? >> i really do not know, senator harkin. there is no definitive information about exchanges at this point that i can read about. i cannot comment on what the exchanges will do for me. i have done my best to research that. i've worked city chamber of commerce. it is difficult to find that information. >> i do not know where kentucky is on that but states are in the process of setting up those excha

how itt have a view of should be narrowed.hat we do have is an analysis of the effects of alternative policy. we have done some of this in a report last year in the cost of deferring action to narrow budget deficits. we have a a little of this qualitatively. the composition of the policy actions to narrow the budget deficit can matter a great deal to the economy. into what sorts of public and private goods and services this country has. i realize we talk about the need to narrow deficits in general terms. when we look at specific proposals for raising tax revenue, raising tax rates, which we modeled the effects on labor supply and saving. proposing to raise tax revenue by widening the tax space and a producing credit reductions. that might have a positive effect by removing some of the distortions and having those decisions being made based on market signals rather than government subsidies. and down the government spending side, the nature of spending changes can matter. it is difficult for us to model that well. presumably,
