      Actually, I've known quite a few guys who have had engagement rings long before now. What's the big deal? They want to show their committment to their future wives. WTF?

        "What's the big deal? They want to show their committment to their future wives."


        Remember, mag -- FOX IS the GOP channel.

        And we all know how well GOP men do marriage:

        Rush Limpballs
        Newt Gingrich
        Rudy Giuliani
        Fred Thompson

      What initiative? You either want to get married or you don't? The people who don't want to, but do anyway (social pressure, they've been dating too long, etc.) usually end up in divorce court. Next.

        Next she'll be warning us about the monster under the bed. For take-no-prisoners conservatives, these people do a lot of shaking at shadows.

      Now THAT is exactly the type of topic they should be tackling on "Fox 'n Friends."

        BINGO, drempala...You have exposed the real truth. By the way, they should probably discuss BIGNO also
        But this trio would find some conspiracy in the breakdown of the numbers such as, why is the number 1 listed under the letter B. The letter B could be used to indicate Barack is number 1).

      So unusual for FOX & Friends to air such a dumb segment...

      Coming up next after the break: Sadie Hawkins, domestic terrorist? We'll debate the issue right after these words.

      I agree drempala - F&F co-hosts are not capable of discussion much else!

      What they probably don't even realize is that this ring they are in support of is probably used to signify engagement in a same-sex marriage.

      If only they knew, then they would probably be completely against it.

      I'm not being serious just speculative.

      This falls short of F&F's usual standards of fear-mongering. So my suggestion is this: "Tomorrow on FOX & Friends: is the man-gagement ring really a new version of the Terrorist Fist Jab?"

      If you'd like to give the man in your life a 'little surprise' he will appreciate more than a man ring, Ms. Carlson, I suggest a morning hummer.

      I suppose jewelry equality means engagement rings for both sexes, though I don't see it being something many men will wear, unless their boyfriends buy them one. Tastes vary, as do opinions. If you really wanted to discuss this issue, you could've talked about the etiquette of returning a ring if the engagement is called off, but I understand that is a little out of FOX's depth. Perhaps tomorrow you will host a lively debate between Poptarts and Toaster strudels? (i.e., this was a -lame- segment)

      Mr. Kilmeade? You remind me of a cartoon. 'Are you nervous, pussycat?' 'Yup!' Sheesh. Read your horoscope: This is a good week to go back on your meds!
