It sure is!

Yeah, I wonder who wrote it for him. I think they should disclose that.

Hilarious and accurate as well! Once again the GOP stands on the side of the powerful against the rest of it, and the Democrats are missing a huge opportunity if they don't remind us of that again and again and again.

Rick,

Good pint and they do not even have to be Americans. Foreign companies can funnel a lot of money to this election as well as citizens.

If honesty prevailed, we would see that the Democrats are just trying to maintain their HUGE contribution advantge from unions, which give hundreds of $millions more than corporations - virtually all of which goes to Democrats.

PS - Foreign generated money is still illegal to use in American elections - something you won't hear from the Democrats.

The Repubs will vote against it because their corporate masters have told them be against it. They will of course rail against Unions putting money into a race and have people like ITM and Joanne make their snarky remarks because its a Union doing something that the Corporations will and have been doing all of along. If the Dems had any spine, and thats a big IF, this could easily be a campaign winner for them. I'm just curious how they will respond when the Saudi's have to be accountable.

Obama is the least transparent president ever. I don't see why he has a problem with this or why he wants the legislation to pass EXCEPT to stiffle those who want less government while giving advantage to unions that want bigger government.

Bob, does what you wrote make any sense even to you?

Vulcan One

it probably doesn't just more of the same Repub blather about anything but what matters. Our Repub friends are afraid of transparency because when you shine a light, the cockroaches scamper. And what roaches do you think will come out if they had to disclose who paying for their ads. Of course the same applies to the Dems as well.

As for our Repub friends who keep bringing up Obama's money from BP, he took no PAC money, small donors, you know the little people. And Bob Randall, as for transparency, why don't you ask the same about the Bush Administration? How about Darth Cheney's energy meeting? How about domestic spying on the public w/ warrantless wiretaps, cherrypicking intelligence to get us into an unnecessary war of convenience and having no exit strategy. How about this one Bob, "the Iraqis will treat us like liberators" remember that one. How much American blood is on the Lil Shrub and Darth Cheney's hands? Oh one more, waterboarding, a war-crime. I think because they planned this, they should be brought up on War crimes and tried in the Hague

All the more reason for us 'small' people to donate what we can to the Democrats... it doesn't necessarily need to be the DNC... just send $10 - $25 to which ever candidate you support!

Then candidate Obama said change starts from the bottom up and let's not lose sight of that!

We did it in 2008 and we can do it again! YES WE CAN!

Fired up, ready to go!

Republicans have been saying corporations aren't hiring because of uncertainty. By that, they mean corporations want no regulations and aren't happy about getting some much needed ones.

Wonder how these companies can lay off people for financial reasons, not hire people for financial reasons yet have millions to blow on campaign ads.

I just caught the ADA article from earlier, what a great day in Congress and what better way to celebrate 20 years of ADA than to have a disabled person preside. Enjoyed your comments especially those talking about their own family working to help them.

Wow. You must think the average American is pretty dumb. So we're supposed to believe the sactimonious President who: 1) broke his promise to accept public funding for his campaign; 2) became the first Presidential candidate to choose to fund his campaign entirely from donors, including corporations, unions, PACs and associations; 3) raised over $1 billion from these donors, and 4) never aired on his ads who his biggest contributors were. Example 198,704,202 of "do as I say, not as I do", or better yet, I am the government , and I know better.

Pat, Boston:

Great post. Thank you. Unfortunately money can buy a lot of votes. As Feisty said if every concerned citizen gave a few dollars each we could match them and keep or integrity as well. I am a little worried that nobody is saying much about the foreign monies that may come in as well. We as Americans need to know who these people are so we can make intelligent decisions. Of course no matter what President Obama wants the republicans are still going to say no. They were told to not pass any bills until after the elections. I bet they don't stop there unless they take over the Senate and House.

Wall street cuts big checks to the dems as much as anyone.

Of the 5 richest members in congress only one is a republican. The left seems oblivious to that fact.

CRP says California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa is the richest lawmaker on Capitol Hill, with a net worth estimated at about $251 million. Next in line: Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.), worth about $244.7 million; Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), worth about $214.5 million; Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), worth about $209.7 million; and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), worth about $208.8 million.

All told, at least seven lawmakers have net worths greater than $100 million, according to the Center’s 2008 figures.

“Many Americans probably have a sense that members of Congress aren’t hurting, even if their government salary alone is in the six figures, much more than most Americans make,” said CRP spokesman Dave Levinthal. “What we see through these figures is that many of them have riches well beyond that salary, supplemented with securities, stock holdings, property and other investments.”

Among the top 25 wealthiest legislators – which includes boldface names Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein and Olympia Snowe – there are 14 Democrats and 11 Republicans, suggesting no clear wealth divisions between party.

http://www.greenchange.org/article.php?id=5201

So the rich on the left want to stiffle the rich on the right, who aren't quite as rich.

Get a clue, nearly half of congress critters are millionaires only thinking of themselves. This legislation only benefits the leftist millionaires - not America.

8 of the 10 wealthiest congress critters are democrats.

http://www.greenchange.org/article.php?id=5201

Why do you really think they want this legislation? To protect themselves in the millionaires club. Only fools can't see the truth.

So Bob, you should support the bill then , again your reasoning is skewed! It doesn't matter who gets the money, Do you want big business buying any votes? Do you want foreign companies buying our elections? Stop with the partisan idiocy.

IF that were tru, then why are 134 of the the 237 millionaires in congress democrats or why are 8 democrats in the top 10? Of course you didn't research it like I did but there is a spread sheet of all of them at http://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/overview.php?type=W&year=2008

Of course you won't bother. Those who blather what they believe is the truth never bother. Just keep supporting those who want you on welfare where they can control you. Exactly what Hitler did and he was against capitalism too. Look it up or give it up.

Bob again, this is not a partisan issue! It doesn't matter who's the richest. Do you want foreign investment in American campaigns?

The only people for this bill are the leftist millionaires running congress and most of them are democrats.

Don't take my word for it. Open the spread sheet and see for yourself that you are being duped.

http://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/overview.php?type=W&year=2008

Bob, I would like to call you a name but it would be more than four letters so you probably wouldn't understand it. You only see Left vs Right and it seems that you really don't understand the concept of what's going on. Again, do you want foreign companies buying American election in secret?

Vulcan One

Give it up, its like talking to your foot w/ Bob or boob. All he sees is that the Dems want this despite that fact they will be outed just like the Repubs. He's been spoon fed this garbage by Rush and his ilk so common sense reasoning won't work. The fact that the Saudis will be pouring massive amounts of cash to persuade people to vote for THEIR candidate of choice doesn't matter. The blinders are on and common sense has been thrown out.

Poor excuse not to go through with some kind of Bill that would include some kind of reporting mechanism for the general public so they can see for themselves who is receiving money from these corporations (and how much) no matter if both Dems and Republicans are recipients don't you think? Then let the public decide what it is they want to decide from such information.

Richard -

With so many asking for transparency...what is wrong with this? And now is an excellent time to bring it forward.

And on another note....so now energy has been "abandoned" and you're going to criticize the congress for something that wasn't going to happen now anyway...thus a waste of time and money. The Republicans don't want to TOUCH any energy bill...they want the status quo...but you're going to criticize anyway? Geesh....it must be really be hard to remember what side to complain about.

Richard. For the umpteenth time, Fannie and Freddie are being handled with a separate piece of legislation, that is if the republicans allow it to.

Richard, you are out of your league!

Jody, Iowa:

Could you pass that on to John Schoen, Senior Producer for MSNBC? In particular I refer you to his article on MSNBC (my primary source for news) entitled "Sweeping Reform, but not Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae" updated July 15th, 2010 at 3:39:56 pm. edt.

I believe they are considering something regarding Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to further fund their losses which WOULD require legislation.

Glen, Quahog (sure you aren't Peter from Quahog?):

No way.

Richard, so what you are saying is that the fiscal republican supermen can not introduce their own additional bills to fix fnma and freddie mac? that sounds like something the republicans wanted to do with healthcare. they wanted it done in pieces. so it was ok then, but not now? really? come on richard. you are trying to have it both ways here. it's called a circular reference.

your comments do not make sense. and you are still out of your leage

Actually, I didn't say what you say I said. That being said, I think it goes without saying that you continue to say a lot of things that aren't worth saying.

I've decided that you are Chris Griffin.

Peter can actually string together a sentence.

Stewie is evil, but intelligent nevertheless.

Brian is smarter than all of them.

You don't have the cojones to be Lois or Meg.

Yup, pretty much leaves Chris.

No surprise at all that my comments don't make sense to you.

The only thing I feel bad about here is the uneasy feeling that I'm picking on a 14 year old.

Richard,

crickets....................

Ah, good to see that you're back in your normal environment.

Glen, while you may think of the GOP as the party of 'no', there is nothing that they have introduced of substance that the democrats in control will even let get passed committee. Pay attention. That is the problem with the bulk of the left - they don't pay attention. They hear Obama and Pelosi and figure that is the truth when they are being lied to.

When you are completely dependent on government, maybe then you will ask yourself "What did I do." Unfortunately it will be too late then. Who will you blame once totally screwed? Bush? lol

Beverly:

I saw that photoshop doctored up Ad from BP showing a helicopter from the cockpit flying directly over the spill area. A beautiful sunny day, the gulf had a picture perfect blue look to it (no oil or signs of oil), pilot, co-pilot and a third person smiling and pointing at the water below like a catastrophe had been averted. Problem is someone with a keen eye noticed a few odd-ball things about the ad. A close up look at the helicopter instruments showed that the helicopter was not even in flight.

CA,

I saw that as LMAO, also control tower on the left and parking break on. That piece was priceless. I guess Tony is gone in October, taking a position in the Russian Oil Fields, with same company. Did anybody see an article over the weekend where BP was using prison labor instead of locals. I know they would get some tax breaks if they did and some of the arnings are paid back to BP. Advise if anybody knows.

Beverly,

Obama received more BP money than any politician in the last 20 years. BP's former CEO, Browne, was/is one one of the world's foremost promoters of cap and trade, Obama's energy centerpiece. BP (re-branded as Beyond Petroleum) donated a $500 million grant to University of California, Berkeley for green dream studies. The man credited for securing the grant was Steven Chu. Steven Chu is now Obama's Secretary of Energy. University of California, Berkeley donations to Obama - $1,591,395.

Oil Protection Act of 1990 gives the federal government authority to monitor BP, direct BP, or remove BP and take over.

With regard to containment and clean up in particular, Obama is responsible for everything BP has done and everything BP has not done. It's 100% on Obama.

BTW - Did Obama ever figure out who's asz to kick?

Bob-1805084

Are you out of your mind? Obama is responsible for this spill? How is it that the current President who was a Senator at the time when the Lil Shrub & Darth Cheney allowed for this rig and many like it to NOT have anyone inspect it? To have inspections waived because of BP's assurance to Bush's MMS that if a spill occured that it would be no issue to clean up. You must either be a total tool or Sharon Angle in drag w/ your absurd assumptions.

BP contributed heavily to the Obama campaign. He must have forgot.

Philip,

I guess one of my absurd assumptions was that jackasses couldn't use a computer. As evidenced by your post, it appears they can.

Now if they can only develop reading comprehension and find Wikipedia.

Bob

Once again, how is this Obama's spill when it was your great president who deregulated the industry w/ Cheney's help. How is it Obama's fault when the MMS, a dept created by the great GWB was so manifestly corrupt. How is Obama's fault when the waivers we're signed on Bush's watch. So before you start going off on your Repub rant about Wikipedia or anything else, please explain then who this spill is Obama's fault. You do remember "Drill Baby Drill" right? The Repub mantra during the elections or will you be like your dream girl Sarah Palin, who I bet winks only for you, state that wa never the slogan of your kind.

Nice one Rick, keep them coming.

Rick,

I agree that the independents probably don't want the Republican brand back in office. But, I think by the time the elections roll around they will see it as the lesser of two evils. Very few people I talk to in the "real world" are at all pleased with the way things are going now. If Obama had said nothing at all there might be a chance, but you can't assure the American people that the steps you are taking will keep the unemployment rate below 8% and then have it rise well beyond that. At this point, all other issues are just window dressing that the guy trying to feed his family could care less about. And, telling people who can't find a job how much better things are getting falls on deaf ears. Unless the economy makes an incredible turnaround (not very likely) things are not likely to go well for Democrats in particular and encumbents in general.

So, it actually IS up to MSNBC to help get the president's message out? Now, what dollar value to that five minutes would you assign and how should they disclose that corporate gift?

Guess we won't be seeing the Fairness Doctrine implemented afterall.

I'm thinking that way, way more people will see him on ABC"s "The View". That could explain it.

P. Garland - If the President gets to finish even ONE sentence on "The View", he'll be the first one to have accomplished that feat since that show started! :)

On topic - since I'm known to enjoy a good bumper sticker, here's one that fits the subject:

Politicians should dress like race car drivers - at least we'd know who their corporate sponsors are!

P. Garland, I agree with you completely. Sarah Palin and the Tea Baggers get more air time than President Obama. Even Tancredo gets proppped up like he's some kind of normal human being by being on Chris's program. And Buchanan for that matter.

I think the President going on The View is a great idea. What's the difference whether he goes on The View or the Today Show or Fox Propaganda or some small radio station in some small town?

Americans watch The View, Mr. Buchanan. Normal everyday Americans. Who vote. And are concerned about education, the economy and the future. They are as well concerned about the dumb thoughtless hate-filled fruitcakes in the GOP.

Yes it is up to MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc., to make sure Obamo becomes a rock star. Everything he says is important, except the stupid stuff like not wanting to take sides by ignoring the American flag, wanting to change the national anthem to "I'd like to teach the world to sing," that Moslims are his brethrin, bowing down to those who hate America. That he and wife dislike America. That he was born in Kenya. The list goes on and on but his media won't really address it.

Bob Randall-1218482

You really need to take your meds. This stuff about him being a Muslim, and you seem to forget that Bush and Cheney all bowed before the Saudis and we all know they hated America. That teabagger crap only gets you so far in life. So take your meds, come back to reality, and try to live in it. You have no proof he's a Muslim, you have no proof he wasn't born in Hawaii like the birth certificate says. Your issue is that a Black man beat a White man for the Presidency and by a large margin at that. Your rascist tendencies for foaming at the mouth for anything that is not in your deluded little mind as "America" just drive you crazy. This discussion is about tranparency, Not some Teabagger deluded reality of a all white America w/ those of color at your beck and call as your servants.

Have you been so hard on previous adminsitrations for lack of transparency and will you be as hard on future administrations for lack of transparency? No need to remind me of this administration's promise of transparency when running for election. They all do it, both sides, but in the end it does not matter who promises transparency more than the other, for it is not something that should require a promise, it is something that should be expected by the American people (from both sides).

Richard, Transparency? kidding right?

you make me laugh there funny gal.

Glen:

Turn on your personal GPS, please? You appear to be lost.

richard, my side is splitting. just splitting. your comedy is too much. maybe you should write for the comedy show on fox news that is similar to the daily show (only without the humor). oh that's right, it lasted less time on the air than our budget surplus after clinton left office and the republicans took over. here's laughing with you. oh, sorry, laughing at you. yes, laughing at you

Glen: Turn on your personal GPS, please? You appear to be lost.

Boy, I'll say.

CA:

I'm hard on pretense. I honestly don't lose a lot of sleep over "transparency" because it's a buzz word to fit a campaign that made a lot of people think that this president or this administration was going to be different. Frankly, I think the left's approach to George Bush, that he was dumb, illiterate and evil incarnate was far preferable to their the aggrandizement of this President.

In general I agree with your post. They all do "it", I suppose. I only try to point out that this president and administration is no different. All the corporate disclosure laws in the world won't change that. But tell my why this sudden interest in it doesn't simply fit in with the lead up to the elections?

This legislation isn't being proposed at just this time for the good of the order. It's being brought up because they think it's good for the campaign. It supports the simplistic ongoing "Democrat Good, Republican Bad" approach.

Glen:

I haven't figured out yet if you're really Peter Griffin or Stewie Griffin or Chris Griffin.

You're definitely not Brian.

Stewie is actually intelligent in his perverse way.

Process of elimination.

Say hi to your sister Meg for me.

CA, i was being sarcastic with richard regarding transparency. regarding the GPS thing, please do not encourage richard. he has limited comedy skills as it is.

Oh, please CA, encourage me, encourage me! I need practice!

thats the truthhow the demwits can talk about transparency after all the lies obama and pelosi promised especially during campaign its really dumb on thier part and after campaign if it was;nt what obama wanted then the doors were shut to everybody,just go back to the healthcare debates the republicans could not even get in the room. their has been no transparency in this adm.just look at al frankens elect. the no. he won by was less tha the elegal voters (prisoners) if all they have is msnbc and the veiw to get thier mess. out good luck(the least watched cable news and getting smaller).

The post above is not in english. thanks there chief for the laugh. you can leave the union any time you like there carlyss man.

carlyss man

Are the Repubs anymore transparent? I'm not sure if your aware of this but your hero Ronald Reagan sold weapons to the Iranians. That the lil shrub and Darth Cheney spied on the population w/o warrants right. The only Bush who might have actually spoke the truth was Bush Sr. w/ " Voodoo Economic" issue he had w/ ronald Reagan. Are you just another Repub plant who just spews at the mouth but can't smell the feces when their covered in it. We may never have transparency because our political stooges we have called representation have been bought by the corporations. you may not like Obama, but do you think Garmpy McCain and Dimwit Palin would have done any better? He would probably be dead because the stress from seeing the mess that Bush/Cheney left him w/ would kill him leaving us Sister Sarah. How would she answer the pressing needs of the public? Like she offered on Faux News about plugging the well. " The Dutch many years of experience w/ dikes that its a shame Obama hasn't called on them." Thats right plug it w/ your finger. Or the other one , Prayer to stop the thing from spewing. Great policy and this is apparent one of the Great Thinkers of your Party.

Philip and Glen.............. all you do is cry about what he inherited. why the hell did he run for president,the fact is the dems are so scared of palin, beck, fox and rush all you cando is keep talking about them all the while your wimpy president is going down in the poles every week even the democratic senators are running from him. everyone he helps loses. face it your through.

carly ass man, i realize this is beyond your comprehension there tough guy, but we heard "it was clinton's fault" for 3 years. heard "it was carter's fault" for most of reagans term. it comes with the territory. get over it.

by the way it's "polls". "poles" are what you shimmy down in the evenings now that your transgender operation is complete.

obama has the same approval ratings as jesus christ himself Ronald Reagan had 18 months in. oh that's right, he was cleaning up carter's mess.

as far as the "wimpy" thing, how come every republican thinks he is the next george patton. hey tough guy, go sign-up for the military. i am sure they could use your toughness and smarts (chuckle chuckle).

Richard, it is easy for anyone with a brain to see thru him. There is nothing there except smoke and mirrors. And I am a life long democrat. Kids today vote for idiots like that because the kids are idiots themselves. They don't want to work, think the wealthy owe them something, want something for nothing. I suggest that they ask their congress critters who are millionaires, mostly democrats, to ask them to tax what they have by 40 or 50% and see how far their champions will go, especially the 8 out of the top ten in congress who are the richest in congress and are also democrats.

The truth might set you free if willing to see, Obamites.

Bob Randall

So once again, why is this such a bad bill then when it will shine the light on who receives what? The idea that it requires those who want to change your mind about candidates have to be disclosed. In CA there was bill or initative that was absolutely destroyed by the Oil industry for clean energy. Those who sponsered the attacks where the oil industry and they never once had to be disclosed. The bill went down in flames because the voters we're given so much misinformation regarding the information. Transparency during this time would have given the voters a better understanding who was pushing to kill this bill or initiative. You see knowlege is power and understably Big Business doesn't want you to have that power. This bill simply shines a light on those who prefer to remain in the dark.

You have no room to talk, Bev. You live in one of the most corrupt and crime ridden cities in America. You have second generation mafia as mayor. Most ex governors in prison. A police force on the take. A totally blown city and state budget. Basically, you are clueless.

Obama's Hope and Change Platform showed how stupid we are. His election shows how incompetent we are to even vote..

excaliburgc, based on your comments below regarding David Ayers (still not sure who he is-it's Bill Ayers), please do not use the word "we" regarding stupidity. you obviously are at a whole different level than the rest of us. how's that Edumaction thingy working our for ya?

i hope you were this way when Earl Bush and David Cheney were in office.

Bev, BP was a big contributor to Obama. That is a fact. That you refuse to believe the truth only shows your ignorance on the matter. Bet you a $ you are on welfare and have been for years.

excaliburgc, if you are going to be a half wit, please know what the hell you are talking about. it's Bill Ayers not David Ayers. who is David Ayers? and socialism is different than communism. good god there spiffy, use your head for more than just a hat rack.

While you're at it, excaliburgc, you might want to be careful with those capitalizations -i.e., "He"? "His"? If I didn't know better, I'd think from this post that you were one of us crazy libs who thinks Obama is The Messiah!

its bill ayres that helped obama get started after he spent twenty years an american hateing rev. right church (o I forgot obama didnt hear nothing for twenty years)and dont forget his good freind tony rezco. please defend him against these alligations and don forget his affiliations with accorn.one of the biggest jokes and illegal money launderes. have a nice day.

carlyss man, holy smokes. nice incoherent ramble. at first glance, it looks like a simple paragraph, but when you look a little closer, it's not really english. your not here illegally are you juan?

maybe you are like sarah palin and shakespeare. only instead of new words, its a whole new language.

just your president is the only one hear illegally.

carlyss man, you idiot. it's "here" not "hear".

you can't put together simple paragraphs, you ramble on with long winded run-on sentences and you have no idea how to spell.

you truely are the "child left behind". from your writings, i take it you are part of the population that pays very little in taxes because your income is a lot less than the rest of us. i mean, there can't be that much demand for a person of your intelligence in the business world. yet you complain and complain about taxes you do not pay.

the demwits are the people that expect someone else to pay your way.You have plenty to say about me but you can;t reply to my acusations about your president,I think you must know what I say is true,especialy about his freinds and the way he apoliges for america,this whole page is full of nothing but rightwing bashing,you have nothing good to say about anything.

My questions is why aren't the Teabaggers asking for more disclosure? They scream they want their country back, would they want to know who is paying for the ads for the Dems? Or is it simply the fact we have Teabaggers on First Read who want to bring up everything from David Ayres, how Obama paid for Harvard, we know it was student loans which he recently just paid off, but for the nutjobs out there, "not good enough". Disclosure is the only way everybody knows who trying to do what to influence your vote. Both the Repubs and Dems will fight this, or at least some Dems will. The Repubs will not want their donors disclosed period because it then ask the question. "Why are you Big Businesses Bit##?" Some Dems will have that same questions asked of them, a few come to mind, Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson, Lieberman for example. These Dems will definitely fight this bill because they will have the most to lose when their contributor come to light. But the most valid point I've heard is this, Do you want foreign countries influencing your vote? If you do, then you have every right to have someone else make up your mind, but if you don't supporting this bill will shine some light on the cockroaches influencing public policy.

Phillip,

While I generally agree with your premise (though I must say it is weakened by your apparent need to use the term Teabagger to put down people you disagree with) but I do have an honest question to ask regarding foreign money.

We obviously don't want foreign governments sticking their nose into our affairs - no question. But, how do we handle someone like Toyota. They are obviously a foreign company, but they have manufacturing plants and dealerships here. Should they have a right to contribute to candidates that would protect their American investments?

As for the basic issue, I have yet to hear a good reason why companies should not disclose that they are responsible for an ad. However, I also don't see that it will actually make a difference one way or another. Companies with this much money can simply create another company and have it create the ad. Or, they can simply donate to organizations that will do their bidding.

JC-1439099

If everyone, and I mean everyone not just the Repubs, but the Dems as well have to disclose, everyone will have and idea why they are either supporting or not supporting whatever bill that come up. The term "Teabagger" was a term the Tea Party called themselves before they realize the urban connotations of the word. So if it offends, I apologize. But the premise still stands, transparency only helps the public make a better informed decision on matters. A well informed populace is better armed than one that is spoon fed the constant drivel being spewed on both sides. But the question still stands, 41 Repubs voted against transparency. Yes the loop holes for the NRA, AARP and Unions should have been stripped, and could have been stripped in Conference. I don't want anyone trying to influence my vote. Thats why I read the initiatives and try and find out why someone is for or against something and can make and informed decision from there as all the American people should.

My suggestion then Brian is... keep on moving right back over to the Faux Noise site...

No you're not a target... don't flatter yourself...mkay?

Nice call, Brian.
