ANN COULTER WANTS BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DEPORTED, ADMITS BEING A RACIST

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – “Somalians leaving the U.S. to join ISIS are legal immigrants; Hmongs raping young girls are legal immigrants.”

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter used these examples — plus so-called anchor babies, welfare recipients and the prison population — to suggest that all immigrants — legal or illegal — should be deported because they are destroying the fabric of America.

Coulter has been making the rounds of radio and television talk shows to promote her theory that immigration is the greatest threat to the country.  She says so in her new book, “Adios, America.”

But the attention-seeker Coulter made it clear that she has nothing against immigrants coming from First World countries; she only doesn’t like Mexicans, and Chinese, and Filipinos, and Somalians, and Hmongs — practically anyone who is from the Third World.

Asked if she considered herself a racist, Coulter told FOX News: “Yes, I am, in the  sense that I love the white race.”

HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR CAMERON CROWE APOLOGIZES, ANNOUNCES SEQUEL TO ‘ALOHA’

Oh
Oh

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – “Thank you so much for all the impassioned comments regarding the casting of the wonderful Emma Stone in the part of Allison Ng. I have heard your words and your disappointment, and I offer you a heart-felt apology to all who felt this was an odd or misguided casting choice.”

With those words, ‘Aloha’ director Cameron Crowe appealed to everyone to move on from their disappointment that the Ng character in his film wasn’t played by an Asian American actress.

To prove that his apology was sincere, Cameron announced that a sequel to ‘Aloha’ will start filming in Hawaii next month. It will be titled ‘Kilauea.’ The story of the sequel picks up from where ‘Aloha’ left off.

Brian Gilcrest (Bradley Cooper) and Allison Ng (Stone) get married and spend their honeymoon in Hawaii’s Big Island. On the second day of their honeymoon, a major eruption of Kilauea volcano happens, burying the entire resort in which the newly-weds were staying. Only three people in the resort manage to survive the extreme lava flow and fires that ensue: Gilcrest, Ng and Aloha Yamamoto, a half-Japanese and half-Hawaiian who was in Kilauea taking a short vacation from her job as a paramedic in Honolulu.

The events that follow lead to a complicated romantic triage among the film’s main characters.

Cameron expressed confidence that none of the casting controversy in ‘Aloha’ will haunt ‘Kilauea.’

The role of Yamamoto will be played by Korean American film and television actress Sandra Oh.

All’s well that ends well.

PHILIPPINES’ 2016 ELECTIONS WILL SEE NORA AUNOR VS. VILMA SANTOS

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The 2016 Philippine presidential elections just got more interesting.

Vice President Jejomar Binay and Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte  were both hoping to enlist Senator Grace Poe as their vice presidential running mate, but the popular and well-loved senator has all but rejected both offers.  She is contemplating on running for president herself.

In an effort to boost their quest for the presidency, Binay and Duterte have named their respective choice for a running mate. Duterte says that his choice for a VP running mate is Batangas Governor Vilma Santos while Binay has picked multi-awarded actress Nora Aunor.  Filipinos, of course, know that in their younger years, Santos and Aunor were rivals for the title of movie superstar. Santos  was a former movie star herself. It would be  déjà vu for both actresses if they decide to face each other in the election.

So how about Grace Poe, herself the daughter of two famous actors, the late Fernando Poe, Jr. (who ran unsuccessfully for president five years ago) and movie queen Susan Roces?

Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, the presumptive heir to partymate President NoyNoy Aquino wanted Poe to be his VP running mate but the latter has refused. So Roxas is left with no potential strong running mate.

Poe, on the other hand, is leaning towards drafting actor Bong Revilla, Jr. as her running mate.  Unfortunatelty, if Revilla would indeed be Poe’s VP choice, he has to campaign from inside his jail cell.  Revilla is currently incarcerated for charges of corruption .

Forget about ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ How about ‘Elections with the Stars?’ It’s really more fun in the Philippines!
