Sarah Palin is pitching a reality show which ALL major networks including the Discovery Channel have shut down. Apparently she wants one million per episode. Is she loony?? There is no way she’s getting that kinda money in this economic climate.

Oprah nipped her defamation lawsuit in the bud…..

All the “hoopla” surrounding Oprah Winfrey and Nomvuyo Mzamane, the former head mistress of Oprah’s school for girls in South Africa, has ceased. According to the Associated Press, court documents containing hundreds of pages of claims and counter-claims were filed by both sides and both women withdrew their allegations.

“Ms. Winfrey testified in her deposition that she did not intend the implications placed on her words by the plaintiff,” the statement said. “Ms. Mzamane testified in her deposition that she has no evidence that Ms. Winfrey knowingly made a false statement about her or entertained serious doubt about what she said.”

You should already know…Oprah don’t play that!

POP THE HOOD FOR THE REST OF THE SPEECH……….

The Senate passed President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform bill at 7:00 a.m. yesterday (thurs.) morning without a single Republican vote. The 60-39 landslide victory moved the bill through the body and now calls for the Senate’s version of the bill to be merged with the House of Representatives’ version that was previously passed in November.

The House of Representatives’ bill was much harder to pass and narrowly missed opposition with a 220-215 vote, with one majority vote coming from a Republican.
Conference committee negotiations will meet to discuss the merging of the two bills. Both bills call for extending healthcare coverage to 30 million more Americans. The major point of contention is whether or not the bill will include a public option, and whether or not the government will impose a fine on anyone who does not have health insurance.

It’s disturbing that they are actually considering “fining” folks for not having healthcare. Hello@!!! If they can’t afford healthcare, then what makes you think they can afford a fine? I’m sure EVERYONE WANTS HEALTHCARE…..just make it affordable!

Gay marriage supporters have to be overcome with joy after the nation’s capital voted to legalize gay marriage!

The bill, introduced by gay city councilman David Catania, was signed into law by Mayor Adrian Fenty and is expected to go into effect around St. Patrick’s Day.

Most members of D.C.’s city council voted in favor of the move, with two votes opposed; one of which came from none other than former mayor turned city councilman, Marion Berry.

Gay rights activists are expected to use this momentum to gain other victories in other arenas after taking serious defeats in New York, New Jersey, and Maine.

Opponents of the new measure, such as the Archdiocese of Washington, are prepared to keep fighting against a move that they see as the end of traditional family values and a precursor to the downfall of society.

Members of Stand4Marriage, a group in favor of marriage in its traditional sense, have appealed to a district elections board with hopes that a referendum would be put on the ballot so that the people can have a say in the matter, with group attorney Cleta Mitchell noting that the law is a “decision for the people, not a dozen people at city hall.”

ABC News has more details from Obama’s meeting with top banking executives on Monday — according to their White House source, the President told the bankers that they were like “overpaid pitchers on a team doing poorly.” The subject was executive compensation. “The concern is less when your team is successful,” Obama added, “but you guys didn’t win the World Series this year.”

Those aren’t the only harsh words Obama has had for bankers recently. In his 60 Minutes interview which aired last Sunday, the President called them “fat cats,” as in: “I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street.”
