While NBC has mostly struggled in the comedy department over the last few years, such critical gems as 'Community,' '30 Rock,' 'Parks and Recreation' and even 'The Office' failing to bring in the big ratings, the network's recent success in the last year may lead them to some bolder choices.

(Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)American history is one of my favorite topics because I'm so proud and thankful to be a U.S. citizen. Our nation is truly blessed in so many ways, but it has and continues to come at a high cost.

Protecting our freedom is not cheap, however, it is cheap when someone goes out of his or her way to sabotage a pledge every person, who claims citizenship, has recited since President Eisenhower was in office.

Over the past couple of days, news has circulated that hosts Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira plan to leave the show when their contracts expire.
