Ellen DeGeneres explains to Megyn Kelly, and her audience, why she would NEVER have Donald Trump on her show.

Courtesy of Truth Examiner:

Ellen DeGeneres spoke with Megyn Kelly today about her new morning talk show on NBC. During the interview, DeGeneres asked Kelly if she would have Donald Trump on her show. “Definitely,” Kelly said. “I mean, I wouldn’t say no to the sitting president of the United States. Absolutely not. Would you?” Without missing a beat, DeGeneres swiftly said, “Yeah.” 

As the audience began cheering, Kelly seemed genuinely surprised by DeGeneres’s response. An awkward silence ensued until DeGeneres explained, “He is who he is. He has enough attention. He has his Twitter account and he has ways to get his message across. There’s nothing I’m going to say to him that’s gonna change him.”

I think that Kelly's response proves that once a Fox News bimbo, always a Fox News bimbo.

She spent years spewing Right Wing talking points and outright lying to her audience, while flashing her legs in short skirts to attract the mostly male demographic and cloud their primitive little lizard minds.

On the other hand Ellen DeGeneres is a host who actually grew an audience based on her intelligence, compassion, and talent.

Her explanation is a good reason for ALL talk shows, and cable news programs, to keep Donald Trump at arm's length.

By the way I would not watch Megyn Kelly's new show with a gun to my head. 

Do you want to see Donald Trump get trolled by a five year old? Trust me, you do.

Five-year-old geography expert Nate knows about countries and flags, but he also knows what’s what when it comes to President Donald Trump’s affinity for Russia. 

“Why is Trump on Russia?” DeGeneres asked. 

“Because he likes Russia,” Nate replied. 

Damn, that is one cute kid.

See? Even children realize that Trump is Putin's bitch.

So why is it so hard for his supporters to get that through theri fat heads?

I think this Ellen Degeneres tribute to the President and First Lady will end your day on just the right note.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

Today is the last day that Barack Obama will be our president,” said Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday. “I want to personally thank him for changing my life. I am a legally married woman because of him and so is my wife.” 

She praised Pres. Obama’s “courage and compassion” and said, “I love him, I love Michelle.”

Ditto. 

We, all of us, are blessed to have lived at a time when we were given the honor of witnessing this great President and his amazing wife. 

And no matter what is coming our way in the future, nobody can ever take that away from us.

Hillary Clinton on the Ellen Show. "I would just feel this presence behind me, I thought whoa this is really weird!"

Hillary also addressed the notorious "grab their pu**y" tape and said that Trump seemed "wrought up" and filled with anger.

When Ellen pointed out that it seemed that the Trump campaign was "crumbling" Hillary made a point of telling the audience that she does not want anybody to think the election is over and that they need to "turn out and vote."

At the end of the segment Ellen showed this tape to Clinton and the audience. Just watch Hillary's reaction.

And they say she is cold and humorless.

President Obama on the Ellen Show talking about the LGBT progress.

I thought that was both a very sweet and very accurate comment that President Obama made about the contribution Ellen has made in gaining acceptance for LGBT folks in this country.

These are the kinds of very real moments that let us know just what kind of guy is representing us in the White House.

Stephen Colbert mocks the Starbucks Christmas coffee cup "scandal."

I have watched a number of comedians and television hosts weigh in on this ridiculous kerfuffle (Including Ellen Degeneres.), but I thought that Colbert's was just about the funniest.

(That "Paul Blart Mall Bro" comment made me spit out my coffee this morning.) 

Of course I also have to admit that I kind of miss the old Colbert Report so I have somewhat of a soft spot for Stephen.

My one criticism is that he played some of that Feuerstein video, and I hate to see him give that lunatic any air time. The guy is essentially an internet troll who says controversial things in the hopes of being attacked and getting some attention.

But other than that I thought this was quite humorous and very well done.

Colbert is still the king in my book. 

Did Sarah Palin call Ellen Degeneres a man?

Did you catch that at around the 54 second mark?

"Yeah people were really, really weird about that one because, yeah Ellen Degeneres had posted the same image and she became PETA's woman of the year, or man of the year, or whatever they named her. Person of the year. And I became the devil for doing the same thing."

Hey lady if you thought you got hate mail over Trig standing on the dog, you just wait until the Ellen Degeneres fans and LGBT supporters get a load of this!

Damn this woman is stupid.

(For those who are interested here is the entire interview.)

Catholic school principal sends out invitations for graduation dance featuring Ellen DeGeneres, suddenly remembers she is gay, and then demands them all back so that she can destroy them.

Invitations for the eighth grade graduation dance at St. Andrew Catholic Elementary School, and Principal Nancy Matteo.

Courtesy of Philly.com:  

The principal of a Catholic school in Bucks County is apologizing to parents for using a photo of Ellen DeGeneres on an invitation to an Oscars-themed graduation dance, and is demanding students return them to be destroyed. 

It was "completely wrong" to use DeGeneres' picture because the lesbian celebrity "lives her life outside the teachings of the Catholic Church," St. Andrew Elementary School principal Nancy Matteo wrote in an email to parents on Tuesday. 

The text of the message was provided to Philly.com. The email doesn't specifically mention DeGeneres' sexual orientation. She famously came out in 1997 and married actress Portia de Rossi in 2008.

The image appears to be from when the famous comedian, hosted the Academy Awards in 2007. 

And though the email does not specifically mention that DeGeneres likes the ladies, the principal's reasoning does not seem to leave much doubt that her sexual proclivities are the only problem.

In the email, Matteo says she was "obviously NOT thinking" when she let the invitation to the June 8 dance be distributed with DeGeneres’ photo. "Perhaps I was distracted by the Oscar," she wrote, calling the entertainer a "poor role model." "A role model, as defined by Webster's Dictionary, is a person who is unusually effective or inspiring in some social role, job, position, etc.," the email says. "This does not describe her at all. We work so hard to be good role models and then I go and do something stupid!" 

"Something that stupid." What exactly about using the photo of Ellen DeGeneres would call for such strong language?  And what in the world would cause her to want them back simply to destroy them?

"I need every single invitation returned and I will personally destroy them," wrote Matteo, who in 2002 became the Newtown school’s first lay principal, according to its website. 

She added: "Once again, I am sorry for my lack of forethought. I look forward to receiving the old invitations and distributing new ones." 

I don't watch Ellen's show, but from everything I have EVER seen about her she is an incredibly gracious, kind, and loving individual, who often uses her show to reward people who are kind to others with extravagant gifts.

In other words Ellen DeGeneres is perhaps the very definition of a good role model.

Which means that the ONLY possible problem that this principal could have with using that photo, is that Ellen is gay, and to Catholics that makes her a sinner.

Well I see only one sin here, and it was certainly NOT one committed by Ellen DeGeneres.

I feel sorry for the children that are being educated in such a hateful environment.

I have decided to start your Saturday with an overload of cute. I double dog dare you not to smile.

When little Kai took Ellen's hand I was a goner.

It should be illegal to be that damn cute.

Ellen scolds the Boy Scouts for not allowing gay members.

You know what I like about Ellen DeGeneres? She can get very upset about something but always seem so reasonable.

It seems she is constantly under attack by one fake million member group or another but she just stands there saying completely reasonable things, and asking people to be reasonable with her, and it just makes those on the other side seem...oh what's the word for it? Oh it will come to me later.

And of course this time she is right again.  None of us can truly rejoice in our many freedoms if they are not shared by ALL of us.

Hollywood joins the effort against gun violence.

Courtesy of USA Today:

A group of Hollywood celebrities has a message to share about gun violence. 

Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston, Selena Gomez, Jaime Foxx, Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres and other entertainers are appearing in a PSA calling on Americans to "demand a plan" to stop gun violence. 

"How many more?" the stars ask, before action will be taken. 

No more "if we had just done something yesterday," says Aniston in the video, which was released Friday.

Well THAT ought to get some attention. 

Of course the NRA supporters will simply say that the fault for the increase in violence is on the heads of these actors who participate in fake violence in movies, instead of putting the blame on the accessibility of weapons which allow unhinged people to perpetrate REAL violence in our elementary school classrooms.

The One Million Moms are about to LOSE THEIR MINDS! Update!

Courtesy of Joe My God:

The text on the upper right reads: "First Pals: What makes Dad so cool? He's the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver--all rolled into one. Or two." The text at the bottom right reads: "Real-life dads, Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children Claire and Mason." Fantastic. And I'm totally going to JC Penney this weekend. I don't know what I need, but I'll figure that out when I get there.

What?  The One Million Moms, KNEW this would happen!

First Ellen Degeneres makes totally gay commercials inviting tons of Jesus hating homos to shop at J.C. Penney and NOW we have yet ANOTHER commercial showing two little children in the process of being indoctrinated into the gay lifestyle, bravely hiding their emotional scars, while the two abominations in the eyes of God attempt to bribe them with colorful durable clothing form a once respected department store.

Oh the horror!

And you can bet that JUST as soon as the One Million Moms bring Marvel and DC Comics to their knees for daring to show gayness on their little funny pages, they will turn their attention back to Penney's and stop buying their products with even MORE ferocity.

Update: Well it seemed to take them all day but FINALLY One Million Moms noticed the ad, and are currently losing their minds over it as predicted:

One Million Moms (OMM) is disturbed that JC Penney's (JCP) is continuing down the same path of promoting sin in their advertisements. In JCP's June catalog, there is another homosexual ad, but this time with two dads celebrating Father's Day.

Also as predicted they are going to teach J.C. Penney a lesson by doing the following:

OMM will continue to avoid shopping at JCP until they take a neutral stand.

Apparently the J.C. Penney corporation is  actively blocking e-mails from OMM supporters so perhaps somebody should contact them to let them know that the reason these crazy Christians are refusing to shop in their fine department stores is no longer just because of that gay talk show host lady, but is now also the result of the two homosexual dads indoctrinating their children into a deviant sinful lifestyle.

You know, if you think it would make any difference to the J.C. Penney people that is.

According to Nathan Lane, "if you want to get to the right place, at the right time, the pro-gay bandwagon is the only way to travel."

Now I realize that this is two pro-gay posts in a row, which means in a few minutes the "Hah! I KNEW you were a fag" troll will be visiting my comments section soon.

So as a sort of preemptive strike, let me just remind everybody visiting here that I am a VERY liberal, single man, living with his daughter, who often wears tank tops and enjoys listening to show tunes.

Wow, you know what? That does sound kind of gay.

Well anyhow, despite all indications to the contrary, I am not gay.  Trust me, if I were you would be the first to know.

Well probably the second to know actually.

Considering my lifestyle, my job, and my friends there is no reason I would keep my sexuality hidden. So I don't.

Just because I support gay rights and marriage equality it does not make me gay.  It makes me a human being.

I also write in support of women's rights, minority rights, and even sometimes animal rights.

So by the logic of some people, I would have to be a gay, dark skinned, female, Labrador retriever.

Which I'm not.

At least I don't think.

Just thought I would put that out there.

Ellen responds to her haters.

My daughter told me that I needed to post this.

I was probably going to do it anyhow, but I'll just let her THINK she's the boss of me.

Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" program gets the late night treatment.

Courtesy of Obama Foodorama:

Expect some hilarious Let's Move! hijinks on Tuesday night when First Lady Michelle Obama cameos in a video segment on NBC talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The comic visited Mrs. Obama last week at the White House to film the outing, which will air as part of this week's celebration of the second anniversary of the Let's Move! campaign. Among other fitness activities, the First Lady had Fallon running up and down the historic White House stairs, he said when he announced the upcoming cameo. 

"I said to her, this is really amazing, and she said 'well, it is the White House,'" Fallon said while chatting on NBC's Super Bowl pre-game show. 

Mrs. Obama announced in 2010 that she'd given up riding the White House elevator in favor of using the stairs in order to keep fit. The White House has six stories, and it will be revealed on Tuesday how many Fallon and Mrs. Obama ran through.

Like I said before, the Obama's don't just "talk the talk" they also "walk the walk." Even when it includes climbing six flights of stairs.

I am all over this kind of program and think it is a GREAT idea to get kids away from their video games and up and moving around.

When I worked at the elementary school I helped to start a program that was designed to address childhood obesity, and we had some very good success in the two years that I was around for it.

I personally have been a lifelong exercise addict and believe that it has fundamentally changed my life for the better.

I give Mrs. Obama huge props for starting this campaign and keeping it going like she has, and if this segment with Ellen DeGeneres is any indication, she certainly takes her OWN fitness seriously.

Michelle Obama demonstrates impressive athletic prowess on Ellen show.

I actually thought that both Michelle and Ellen were VERY impressive during this display.

As an ex-personal trainer I can tell you that there are plenty of males in their age bracket who would be hard pressed to do even HALF as many pushups as either of them just did.

By the way I just have mention how impressed I am with the fact that both our President and First Lady are far less about "talking the talk," and much more about "walking the walk."

There are a lot of others who will tell you they have some impressive physical or intellectual ability and then simply NEVER demonstrate that in any observable manner, OR instead fake it to fool the morons.

However the President and Michelle, just show what they got "going on."

As if I need another reason to avoid shopping at Wal-Mart.

For the sake of full disclosure I have been a Wal-Mart shopper in the recent past, but have gone cold turkey in the last year. I just cannot rationalize those great savings with Wal-Mart's anti-union mindset, and penchant for selling goods made by poverty stricken workers in Bangladesh.

Besides I once had a lady who worked there go into a long spiel about how they had to take an entire class instructing them NOT to stare directly into the scanners that read the barcode on the merchandise. An entire class, I kid you not.

Perhaps I am an elitist but there always seemed to be a little something "off" about the people shopping at Wal-Mart. And watching how the average Wal-Mart shopper deals with their children has driven me from the store on more than one occasion.

Yeah I have to say I have not once missed shopping there since I decided to boycott them.

Just for fun, here is part of Bristol's appearance on the Ellen Degeneres show today. Update!

First I need to say that I agree with Bristol's assessment of Levi's interest in politics and his ability to run for public office.

Visually the clip also seems to provide further evidence of the phenomena that we have all been watching since the beginning of the show.

I have begun to try and understand just how Bristol could have been convinced to go on DWTS. But all I can come up with is that she was either forced at gunpoint or somehow believed that Hollywood magic would cover up what nature was doing to her physique.

I also have to wonder if she was not counting on being voted off well before she got to this stage, and whether the Palin-bots are actually working against her personal wishes.

What do you all think?

Update: Even DWTS's executive producer realizes that it is Sarah's political supporters keeping Bristol on long past when she should have been voted off.

"There's a strong popular movement behind Sarah Palin at the moment and she's receiving a lot of support from the Tea Party," Conrad Green, executive producer of the program, said in an interview. "It's entirely possible some of those people are behind Bristol for political reasons."

Barack gives Ellen Degeneres credit for helping him get his poll numbers up. By making him dance?

Now if you check the link you will see Obama dance yet again with Ellen.

Which brings up an interesting point.

Do you think that other African Americans will not support Obama since he clearly cannot dance? I mean we all know that the stereotype demands that a black man be able to "bust a move". And Barack is not terribly impressive in that area.

I cannot give Barack too much grieve however because I noticed that when he dances he sticks his tongue out, which is something that I have also been told that I do. Which by definition makes it cool.

However, for the record, I can dance WAY better then Mr. Obama. I am sure that he will be a much better President then I would make, but I know I could dance circles around him.

With my tongue proudly sticking out for the world to see.
