There goes the stupidity of CNN’s Rick Sanchez again! I really dislike the foolish, dumb-acting stunts of Rick Sanchez on his show. Are Sanchez’s viewers kindergartens, that he had to ask questions like, what a 9-meter drop is? Or was his intention to embarrass his guests on live TV?

Ex-Governor Sarah Palin needs to examine her mental capacity. Really. She used to be a governor, but how in the hell she does not even know the meaning of the word ‘retard’ or ‘retarded’?
So when Rush Limbaugh used the word ‘retarded’ it was okay for Sarah Palin, even if Limbaugh intended to hit someone.
When Rahm Emanuel used the word ‘retarded’, Sarah Palin was outraged and went facebooking, asking Obama to fire Rahm.

Some people I know have been spreading email that is intended for the Philippine Congress. It is about the campaign to oppose the passage of the Philippine Reproductive Health Bill (HB5043). I read through the seven points cited in the document and then went through the sections and paragraphs of the bill that these “concerned citizens” think are detrimental to the Filipino people.
The email spam says:
We strongly oppose the passage of the Reproductive Health Bill (HB5043) for the following reasons:
1. AS EMPLOYERS, we do not want to be compelled to provide free reproductive health care services, supplies, devices and surgical procedures (including vasectomy and ligation) to our employees, and be subjected to both imprisonment and/or fines, for every time that we fail to comply. (Section 17 states that employers shall provide free delivery of reproductive health care services, supplies and devices to all workers more particularly women workers. – Definition of Reproductive Health and Rights Section 4, paragraph g, Section 21, Paragraph c and Section 22 on Penalties).

USA Today and Gallup posted the results of the poll to determine the most admired people for 2009. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the Most Admired Woman category while Pres. Barack Obama easily won the spot for the Most Admired Man category. Oh why former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin almost stole the top spot from Clinton?
Results were based on telephone interviews with 1,025 national adults, aged 18 and older, conducted Dec. 11-13, 2009 with a sampling error of ±4 percentage points.

That is why we cannot rely on some senators! Senator Max Baucus, Democrat from Montana drunk on the US Senate Floor debating National health Care. He asks questions but doesn’t like the answers.

What was CNN National correspondent, Susan Candiotti, thinking today while reporting live at the protest in NY by 9/11 families who are against terrorist trials?
I was watching CNN around 11 A.M. central time, Saturday, when the news segment about the protest came. Susan Candiotti was with the protesters, covering the event on the field. When Candiotti went live on TV, it was the U.S. National Anthem that was played on the background with protesters around her standing still. What the news reporter, Candiotti, did next was totally beyond incomprehensible. She tapped one of the protesters (later named Geraldine Davie) on the shoulder and then began saying she was sorry for disrupting her in the middle of the anthem. WTF!
While the anthem was played, and while everyone surrounding her was showing the level of respect the National Anthem deserves, Susan Candiotti acted disrespectfully by starting the interview right then. The anthem that’s supposed to represent the United States of America was disrespected by a veteran reporter!

Yes, the Philippines has been manually counting election ballots all this time! But this coming 2010 national elections, the Filipinos will be introduced to the Automated Election Machine. For years, automating the election has been the topic of debates among lawmakers. There were many concerns thrown at each side, like questioning the reliability of the counting machines.
After many heated arguments, a bill was passed — Senate Bill No. 2231 (13th Congress) entitled:
