MALVEAUX: Checking stories, our affiliates are covering across the country an explosion on an oil rig sent flames shooting 100 feet into the air last night in Watonga, Oklahoma. You can see no one was injured because a warning went out about a mechanical error shortly before that explosion and workers fortunately were able to evacuate. Postal workers in Des Moines lined the streets outside of the main post office to protest Iowa's planned closing of 178 post offices and four processing centers. They are upset about future layoffs and slowing down the mail service. Check it out. Talk about a big catch. A Florida man caught this 800 pound, that's right, 12-foot-long alligator with a fishing rod. He says, he saw it hovering by a bridge and the giant gator took the bait. He and his family have a permit to fish alligators, but this is twice the size of anything they have ever caught before. It is not the largest gator, however, found in Florida. That would be 1,000 pounds, unbelievable. You have been sounding off in today's talk back question, we asked is a higher tax on millionaires considered class warfare? Well, David says, maybe because they can afford it much more than the class warfare they have been waging on us. Carol Costello, she's back with more of your responses.
