2. PLEASE! somebody tell me that bill 'jerk-off' o'reilly is not actually RIGHT about msnbc

3. So what if it were true. It is relative. Obama is a rich man and he does

not , apparently conspicuously consume with any regularity, but if he wants to give his wife an expensive ring, then , I repeat, so what!

4. so Britey- what exactly IS rodium?

no i won't google it- just on principle! :evilgrin:

5. The only time I've seen rhodium used in jewelry

is as a plating on cheap silver jewelry, to make it non-tarnish.

I heard the story about the ring on the radio, and thought it sounded strange. It might have been made up, or it might have been mis-reported. Platinum, anyone?

6. Okay, I've looked it up.

Rhodium is a precious metal in the platinum family, which is liquid in its pure state. It is used to plate jewelry that appears white, not only silver, but anything from junk to white gold and platinum. It gives a very shiny, non-tarnish surface.

I also found another story that says the orignial story about the ring was bunk.

7. Sorry, but I saw the ring in question on the television machine.

Michelle would never have worn something like that.
WAY too overwrought on the bling factor.

8. this is about the ramifications of lousy journalism............

NOT about a stupid fuckin ring, or about obama. did i miss the point on this?
