    Anyone catch the segment on credit card issues this morning, regarding Chase Bank? I am trying to find out more information about it, since my husband and I just had the exact same issue occur with Chase and our credit card. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Can someone please tell me 1 good, legitimate reason why we should care about who David Letterman is sleeping with? Don't get me wrong, there are some who think it's bad, and some who don't care. My question is "why is this news?".

    This is a private matter for those involved. He should be talking to his wife and the others he had relations with, not his audience. I think this is a sad commentary of the state of our nation that we are making something of this.

    Bottom line, it's none of our business, he doesn't owe us an apology, and we shouldn't be treating this as news.
