WHY CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST ANN COULTER HATES SOCCER MOMS

New York, NY (The Adobo Chronicles) – In her syndicated column Wednesday, conservative columnist Ann Coulter delivered what many consider to be the harshest judgment ever of the sport of soccer. Her piece comes right smack in the middle of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. She was obviously going for the ratings.

“No American whose great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer. One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans (referring to immigrants) will drop their soccer fetish with time,” Coulter began her sourgrape rant.  She described any growing interest in soccer to be a sign of the nation’s moral decay.

She then continued by belittling soccer moms. “Liberal moms like soccer because it’s a sport in which athletic talent finds so little expression that girls can play with boys,” she said.

Well, it turns out that Coulter’s hatred for soccer began many years ago when she started dating men. Coulter has been engaged several times but never married. All her fiancés cancelled their engagement with her and left her for … young soccer single moms.

Now you know.

Here’s Coulter’s column.

 

MICHELE BACHMANN TO SUE FOX NEWS OVER ON-AIR HUMILIATION

imageWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto blasted Republicans on Wednesday for preparing to file a federal lawsuit challenging the executive actions of President Barack Obama.

During an interview with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Cavuto belittled the effort as “an enormous waste of effort” and “a political football,” suggesting that President George W. Bush used similar executive authority. The segment devolved into a shouting match, with Cavuto laughing off Bachmann’s indignation about Obama’s use of executive powers.

Bachmann is not taking this on-air humiliation lightly. She is suing Cavuto and Fox News for “disrespecting a person of authority, violation of her freedom of speech,  and for being called silly.”

Bachmann expressed shock that this happened on Fox News which she thought was on the side of Republicans, Tea Party members and conservatives. “That makes it all the more troubling,” she said.

Here’s a video clip of the heated exchange.

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PHILIPPINE JAIL INMATES GO ON HUNGER STRIKE

Cebu City, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Chances are you’ve seen the viral YouTube video featuring hundreds of jail inmates dancing to a choreographed version of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

Now these same Cebu City inmates, joined by tens of thousands of others incarcerated in Philippine jails and prisons, have gone into a hunger strike. Their demands?  Larger jail cells, airconditioning and free wi-fi access.

The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) estimate the total prisoners at 80,000.  BuCor has jurisdiction over national prisons while BJMP oversees jails in cities, towns and provinces.

The striking inmates were emboldened upon learning that two senators who are now in jail in connection with plunder charges arising from the Ten Billion pork barrerl scam, have demanded more comfortable jail conditions, including airconditioning, gourmet meals, refrigerators, television sets and Internet access, among others.  The two senators are Bong Revilla, Jr., and Jinggoy Estrada.

“If our leaders can demand better conditions in their jail cells – or bungalows – why can’t we?”  the strikers said.

President NoyNoy Aquino was reported  to be under severe stress as a result of the national hunger strike, especially because he has always proclaimed that under the law, every Filipino will be treated equally. Witnesses observed that Aquino has been continuously puffing cigarettes as a result of the stress.
