I'm beginning to regard the notion of a Monday through Friday business week as a thing of the past.&amp;nbsp; The U.S. financial markets don't open until tomorrow morning, but for yet another Sunday, economic policy makers</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)</generator><item><title>Working on deadline</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/12/1537035.aspx#1537124</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Oct 2008 21:44:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1537124</guid><dc:creator>Lisa McNeil,Alpharetta,Georgia</dc:creator><description>Good Evening Mr.Holt, Looks like another broadcast will make the airwaves again for a weekend day! Yeah! Two days in a row that is great! Hopefully, the opening for the financial markets won't be too dramatic, but time will tell. One always hopes for the best in these situations.&lt;br&gt;Both candidates prepare for one more final debate this Wednesday and I hope everything goes well. With only a few more weeks to go until the election I cannot wait until this is finally decided. &lt;br&gt;Looking forward to the broadcast Mr.Holt! Peace to You and to All!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lots of Love to Laurel,Jackie,Stephanie,Claudia,Celine,Anna and Matt!&lt;br&gt;Be Well Always!&lt;br&gt;Stay Safe and Well Richard! I hope you are on Nightly News very soon!&lt;br&gt;XOXO &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Working on deadline</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/12/1537035.aspx#1537415</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:27:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1537415</guid><dc:creator>Phyllis Kunz  Louisville, Ky.</dc:creator><description>Mr. Holt&lt;br&gt;I agree that Sunday is the new Monday, and&lt;br&gt;approps I vaguelly remember a movie called:&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;ONLY ON SUNDAY&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;I like the concept &lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;of the new&amp;quot; especially when it is applied&lt;br&gt;to age i.e. &amp;nbsp;40 is the new 30.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for Bill Clinton saying they have the&lt;br&gt;best supporting cast, that remains to be&lt;br&gt;seen, but it is &amp;quot;Showtime.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am hearing so many threats, warnings,&lt;br&gt;gloomy predictions, I can only say with&lt;br&gt;Alaska's Stevens, &amp;quot;I hope to Christ it&lt;br&gt;never gets to that.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Phyllis Kunz</description></item><item><title>Working on deadline</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/12/1537035.aspx#1537420</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:29:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1537420</guid><dc:creator>Lisa McNeil,Alpharetta,Georgia</dc:creator><description>Good Evening,Another fine broadcast this evening and again th focus is the economy for another Sunday. First of all the report by Mr.Corke concerning the meetings held here and in Europe to help shore up the ability for banks to lend to small businesses and homeowners hopefully will have a positive outcome. Action is needed and as soon as possible. The opening of the Asian Markets might be the first indication of what to look forward to on Monday and the rest of the week. Time will tell and I truly hope it is good.&lt;br&gt;On another note the report by Mr.Mullen concerning the terrible wildfires in California seem to have caused great damage to many acres and homes. With it being tghec driest fireseason and the Santa Ana winds it is hard to battle mother nature. I hope they get some relief very soon. &lt;br&gt;On the report by Michelle Franzen about retail sales and how many stores are putting up sale signs for deep discounts it is certainly evident in any store one enters. Going to major department stores one can really save even on most merchandise because the store wants the consumer to buy. I'm sure it will help alittle with the holiday season shopping although people are watching their pennies with this horrible downturn of the economy so as the holidays get closer the numbers will tell the story. &lt;br&gt;Finally, the report by Anne Thompson from the series &amp;quot;Our Planet&amp;quot; was interesting dealing with drilling in the catskills for fuel for natural gas. The high price per acre sounds great for the region, yet would it be good for the people living there and would it be safe for the water. One must keep the water safe for the residents along with makaing progress in energy. &lt;br&gt;Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Holt. Peace to You and to All!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lots of Love to Laurel,Jackie,Stephanie,Claudia,Celine,Anna and Matt!&lt;br&gt;Be Well Always!&lt;br&gt;Stay Safe and Well Richard! Hope to see you soon on Nightly News!&lt;br&gt;XOXO</description></item><item><title>Working on deadline</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/12/1537035.aspx#1537802</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:10:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1537802</guid><dc:creator>Jackie Rawlings Riverside California</dc:creator><description>Hi Lester good show tonight.&lt;br&gt;Ask Ron Allen by he doesn't ask Mitt Romney if he's up set and then go to the other candidates of both Parties. Hillary has raised money and campaigned for Obama and she strongely supports him. Tell Ron Magic, Larry Bird and Isaiah Thomas fought for the championship but remain friends,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Matthew Shepard's murder showed how much we have to do to respect our differences. Sad to say we still have a lot of work to do. I'm proud of the States that have allowed equal rights to gays and all people. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I got to see Brother Bill and Hillary, Jill, Joe today on C-span ( thanks to Laurel). Bill is always Bill but we must remember what Debt America had in 1992. I often just the same phase &amp;quot; Are you better off today then you were 8 years ago&amp;quot;. With the fallen Stock Market, lost homes, jobs and life saving I think not. What is scary is if Bush had gotten his greedy little hands on the Social Security money we would have done today. &amp;nbsp;That man is scary and snicky.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Laurel and Anna don't forget to read my message from yesterday for you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have a great evening all</description></item><item><title>Working on deadline</title><link>http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/12/1537035.aspx#1539776</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:16:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1539776</guid><dc:creator>Phyllis Kunz  Louisville, Ky.</dc:creator><description>Palin&lt;br&gt;Putin&lt;br&gt;Ironic, Huh? &amp;nbsp;And neighbors too.
