Washington, D.C. – President Barack Obama will be the inaugural guest on a new talk show on Fox News which airs Monday nights at 8pm Eastern. The new show, “Between Two Nerds,” launches on March 24.
The new show was reportedly inspired by the highly successful internet show “Between Two Ferns” hosted by comedian Zach Galifianakis. President Obama was Galifianakis’ recent guest on the show where the President brilliantly promoted Obamacare and healthcare.gov.
Fox News is keeping the topic of the inaugural show under wraps but added that it will not be a comedy show.
The new show is co-hosted by Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. Fox News declined to say whether or not the show’s title referred to the two hosts.
Manila, Philippines – Last month, The Adobo Chronicles reported that Philippine Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III proposed to replace the country’s national symbol from the Philippine Eagle to the Tiger, consistent with economic forecasts that the Philippines is now considered the new “Asian Tiger.” Well, it turned out that Sotto’s proposal received lukewarm reception among his colleagues in the Senate as well as from the Filipino people.
Consequently, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, chair of the Senate’s Committee on Constitutional Amendments and Revision of Codes asked the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to send out a survey to all registered voters in the Philippines to find out what their preference is for the country’s new national symbol. Santiago said that she wanted input from the Filipinos on the most appropriate symbol that would represent the country and its system of government.

Here are the results of the survey, with 98% of registered voters accounted for:
1. Pig – 48%
2. Crocodile – 46%
3. Tiger – 3%
4. Philippine Eagle – 2%
5. Mermaid – 1%

In reporting the survey results, the COMELEC noted that Filipinos who suggested the pig were convinced that it best represents the pork barrel scam that has rocked the country and the political system in recent years. The crocodile, according to its proponents, represents the greed that seems to be a consistent characteristic of most politicians and government officials. As far as the mermaid is concerned, the COMELEC said Filipinos thought it best represents the marine and fisheries industry that is the prime source of livelihood for majority of the population. Observers, however, think that the choice of the mermaid was prompted by a new television series on the mythical creature that is about to make its debut in the Philippines. The TV series is titled “Dyesebel.”
The winning crosswalk design for 18th and Castro streets
San Francisco, California – There will be plenty of rainbows at the intersection of 18th and Castro streets in the heart of San Francisco’s gay neighborhood, reports the Bay Area Reporter.
On Thursday, March 13, District 8 Supervisor Scott Wiener announced the winning design and location for rainbow crosswalks that will be paid for by the Castro Upper Market Community Benefit District. The crosswalks are being incorporated with a sidewalk widening project that will begin construction this month.
Upon hearing of the news, the Westboro Baptist Church sent a proposal to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to repaint the crosswalk at the intersection of Market and Castro Streets. The Topeka, Kansas-based church headed by Fred Phelps offered to fully fund the crosswalk makeover “in the spirit of equality.” “If the City of San Francisco allowed the re-painting of the crosswalk at 18th and Castro streets, then there is no compelling reason for it to deny our offer, especially because we are paying for it,” Phelps said.
The Westboro Baptist Church is known for its anti-gay agenda, traveling the country to picket parades, festivals and even funerals with signs like “God Hates Fags” and “Thank God for Dead Soldiers.”
Crosswalk design proposed by Westboro Baptist Church
The Board of Supes has not yet met to consider the church’s offer, but circulated the proposed crosswalk design to its members and the media. The design is in stark contrast to the rainbow design, featuring black and white crosses painted next to each other.
