"What about Caroline, who is still alive?" she asked John F. Kennedy mistress Mimi Alford. Last night on Fox Chicago News, anchor Bob Sirott picked up on the same theme in his "One More Thing" opinion segment: "I wonder if she (Alford) feels guilty now about how President Kennedy's only living child Caroline might feel about her story?" www.newsbusters.org http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2845042/posts#comment Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:53:06 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2783895/posts A&E's "Storage Wars," a show about people who bid on the contents of abandoned storage lockers, had its second season premiere this summer to 5.1 million viewers. It's the HIGHEST RATED show in the network's history. Tru TV's nearly identical "Storage Hunters" has become a breakout hit - ALMOST as big of a hit as Spike's nearly identical "Auction Hunters." That's right. There are three DIFFERENT shows on TV about STORAGE LOCKERS. Reality TV is frequently trashy, but never before has it featured so much actual trash.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits climbed 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 429,000, the Labor Department said. The prior week's figure was revised up to 420,000.
