Ellen DeGeneres is Destroying America
You know I once had a dog that was hit by a car, I once had a dog that was stolen and I even had a dog that you eat his own, well I think you got my drift. However, as far as I remember none of these cases ever made it to the newsroom let alone lead off news. Little Iggy or whatever the hell the mutt’s name is, it not lead farking news. Dumb shits, no I really mean it. Are news directors really ramming this down our subconscious?
Look Ellen, I am sorry you got a bad rap, but you have to realize that pet adoption will always end in tears. Either you have to get rid of the dog because it regurgitated on you pink shoes and you feel guilty, and break down. Alternatively, the little mutt dies, which to be blunt is dead certain.
I really wish this dog along with the story would have been run over. I even heard this case subtitled Iggygate! Yea gee I see the resemblance to Watergate. The conviction of high-ranking government officials, resignation of a sitting United State President. Moreover, continuing mistrust of the Federal Government. And a dog called Iggy. Yea that is smart.
Good on you Imus! But still that doesn’t hide the fact that you were railroaded by a few high-ranking members of the black community. As an honorary black man I was appalled by WNBC as well as MSNBC choice to toss you out the door head first.
Al Sharpton stated "We at National Action Network strongly urge Citadel Broadcasting to meet with the National Association of Black Journalists and other interested organizations around their announced intention to return Don Imus to the airwaves”
I really wish Al Sharpton would look at the problems gravely effecting the real African American community. Like major health issues such as diabetes, HIV-AIDS and Gang violence. Those three things alone killed more black men and women then any remarks made by Don Imus. “Nappy Headed Hoes?”
The latest locale to join Toronto and Raleigh in the LED City initiative is none other than the home of the Wolverines, which recently announced plans to replace about 1,400 street lights with light-emitting diodes. The city is claiming that it will be the nation's first to "convert all downtown street lights to LED technology."
Stephen Colbert just announced that he's officially considering whether he will announce that he's running for President of the United States The Daily Show. No joke! He said he might be trying for the ticket in his home state of South Carolina at the very least as both a Republican and a Democrat!

Google on Monday unveiled a new system for identifying pirated video on YouTube as it gets uploaded, but the system puts the burden on movie studios and other content owners to provide YouTube copies of the content first.

U.S. Sen. Larry Craig, who flip-flopped over whether he would quit after being caught in a restroom sex scandal, said in remarks released on Monday that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney "threw me under his campaign bus."
Craig, an Idaho Republican, resigned from Romney's White House campaign after it was disclosed in August that he had been snared in an undercover sting operation in a Minnesota airport men's room.
The case has been particularly embarrassing for Republicans, since they have long billed themselves as the party of conservative family values.
Craig contends that an undercover policeman in an adjoining stall at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport misconstrued his actions on June 11 as a sexual advance. But he pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
"Disgraceful," Romney said at the time about Craig, who had served as co-chair of his campaign efforts on Capitol Hill.
"It reminds us of the fact that people who are elected to public office continue to disappoint," Romney had told CNBC television. "And we've seen disappointment in the White House, we've seen it in the Senate, we've seen it in Congress and frankly it's disgusting."
"He not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again," Craig said in an interview with NBC, excerpts of which were released on Monday.
The interview with "Matt Lauer Reports" will air on Tuesday, with additional coverage of it broadcast on Wednesday on the "Today" show.
As the excerpts were being released, officials in Minnesota announced that Craig had filed notice that he will continue fighting his arrest in court.
Craig's Minneapolis attorney, Thomas Kelly, filed notice with the Minnesota Court of Appeals, paying a $500 fee and saying he will try to overturn a county court judge's decision earlier this month that Craig cannot take back the disorderly conduct guilty plea he made in August.
Craig had contended he panicked and was rushed into a decision, and now wants a full hearing. But the judge said he had ample time and knew what he was doing.
In the interview, according to NBC, Craig maintained his innocence, claimed he was the victim of profiling and talked about the lack of support he has received from long-time colleagues in Congress.
Numerous Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, had urged Craig to resign and were upset when he decided to stay.
Craig also reiterated that despite his earlier comments to the contrary, he would not resign from Congress and instead would complete his third six-year term, which ends in January 2009.
If you are a regular reader of TheEmptyChamber then you will know that I do not often side with Ann Coulter. Last week when Ann Coulter was a guest on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, she made some insensitive or perhaps even evil comments, as some would tell you. However, I ask was she right? Ann Coulter told the host Donny Deutsch who is a practicing Jew himself that “We (Christians) just want Jews to be perfected”.
However, I ask is that not what true Christianity is about? Perfection not of the body or the person but the mind and the soul? Now I’m not saying that Ann Coulter is or should be the mouthpiece for modern day Christians, but in reality she is not far off, if only a little right of center.
Ann I still will not read your books, I still think that 99.9995% of what you say is absolute crap, but Ann dear hang in there, you got this one right. But trust me Ann, that is no accomplishment.
We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection. 2 Corinthians 13:9
I’m not even going to make small talk here. Al Gore please run for the President of the United States, please Al. I don’t want to have to choose to nominate Hillary or Obama or even Edwards, I want you Al, a man who stands for something. I don’t like voting for a candidate because I have to, like in the case of John Kerry. I want to vote for someone because I want to. The same reason I supported Howard Dean in 2004 who no one else would. Forget about the Nobel Peace prize and the Oscar. Al I’m in Iowa and Iowans like you. You have a shot, I beg you sir, please run for President. I’ve never written to a politician before, but I take pride in your stand for the environment, like a lone man crying in the wilderness, with no one listening you scream louder only to be proven right. Al Gore Run!
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. -Gandhi
