In a selfless decision, Oprah Winfrey, has announced that she’ll be ending her long-running talk show in September of 2011. This comes as a shock to everyone since her ratings had been dropping for a long time and she was able to make less money.
“After much prayer and careful thought, I decided that next season, season 25 will be the last season,” Winfrey told audience members. “I love this show. … This show has been my life and I love it enough to know when it’s time to say goodbye.” (People)
This is just horrible! What will Oprah do now?
Of course Winfrey fans can be assured: she won’t be retiring completely. She is preparing to start her own cable channel, OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, a joint venture with Discovery. (People)
Oh thank God! For a second I thought this decision might not have anything to do with money. Her fans are so important to her that she has decided to give them a whole network instead of just a little show.
This has been a long time coming but scientists have finally created a vaccine that cures racism and any type of prejudicial tendencies that people may have. The breakthrough occurred when the vaccine was able to completely shut down any mental processes that require decision-making based on experiential learning and learned experiences (learning through the experience of others).
Dr. Phawt Shance of University of the Philippines and Dr. Gull Able of Paris University are the innovators behind this paradigm-shattering discovery. This vaccine is poised to change the World as we know it.
Dr. Shance and Able’s scientific paper did, however, include warnings about the side effects of the vaccine which include the complete loss of emotional experiences.
To quickly and effectively eliminate all traces of racism, the vaccine (which is taken orally) will be put into the water supply of major metropolitan areas, followed by suburbs and eventually the countryside. The UN hopes to have 99% of humanity inoculated by the end of 2012.
President Obama, in an NBC News interview, said that the people of the United States will not be offended once our judicial system convicts and executes the 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. This was in response to conservative objections to holding a civil trial on U.S. soil (New York city).
I think the conservatives are missing an opportunity to stick it to the Muslim extremists. This is a great way for the United States to show the Muslim World how much better, peaceful and more civilized we are by killing one of them, after a fair trial of course.
During the NBC interview, Obama said…
“I don’t think it will be offensive at all when he’s convicted and when the death penalty is applied to him.”
He then backtracked, saying, “What I said was people will not be offended if that’s outcome. I’m not prejudging” them. (Reuters)
Oh no, we never want to prejudge a self-confessed mass killers. We don’t jump to conclusions; we claim moral superiority by giving a killer a fair trial in the very city where he killed over 3,000 people. We must have a fair trial, or all is lost.
It turns out that Rosie O’Donnell’s significant other, Kelli Carpenter, moved out two years ago; a fact that O’Donnell has been keeping quiet about this entire time. She is, however, very happy with Kelli’s replacement, a long-haired Chihuahua.
During a talk, on her radio show, with Sonya Fitzpatrick (a pet psychic) O’Donnell revealed that Misty (that’s the long-haired Chihuahua) likes to burrow in the bed right next to her.
Well of course, the dog feels right at home with its new mommy. What dog doesn’t want the safe folds of its mother’s belly.
And, when asked who “sometimes looks after her,” O’Donnell explained her four children all fight over caring for the pup, which she got three days after Carpenter left. “What happened [was] when Kelli moved out two years ago, I got the dog. Because I wanted another child or something to love. And I got the dog.” (CNN)
So let’s recap. Rosie O’Donnell is now in a committed relationship with a hairy rat, instead of Kelli Carpenter who is way out of O’Donnell’s league. No wonder she waited two years to reveal the breakup. Her kids should also be thrilled to learn that as far as Rosie is concerned they could have been dogs and she’d have loved them just the same.
And shame on those of you who are thinking that this has something to do with her needing some media attention.
President Obama does not realize that he is the reason why many people can no longer voice their opinions for the fear of losing their jobs or being harassed by liberals. One prime example of Obama’s devastating impact on the job-market has been our beloved Lou Dobbs. As you may well know, he is no longer with CNN. He abruptly resigned last week from his show on CNN stating that he could no longer operate with management constantly pushing for Dobbs to stop voicing his opinion on air.
“You know, I discern more of a difference between then, which was under the Bush administration whom I was criticizing, and now, when it is the Obama administration and an entirely different tone was taken,” Dobbs said. (NYDailyNews.com)
Someone should tell Lou that TV is funny like that. When you are criticizing someone that no one likes people watch and your ratings go up; but if you are criticizing someone that most people like then it’s going to hurt your ratings and your network bosses are not going to be happy about that.
Too bad he wanted to remain consistent in his beliefs and opinions.
