Snips & Clips

I have three clips for you tonight. The first… if you were watching Monday’s American Morning did you catch on to what John Roberts really wanted to talk about? Here snippets from the 6AM ET and 7AM ET hours of the program:

I don’t go anywhere without my cell phone but I have to admit the idea of rampant cell phone use on US flights just horrifies me.

The next clip comes from today’s Issue #1. Do you find yourself looking for ways to pinch pennies? Gerri Willis talks to David Bach about ways to go green and still save money.

CNN doesn’t use the James Earl Jones “This is CNN” in very many of their commercials anymore (although you do hear it right before certain programs) and it really caught my attention when I heard it at the end of this commercial. I’m just waiting for CNN to get Mr. Jones to record their latest catch phrase, “… part of the best political team on television…”
