NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles ) – In a no-holds-barred interview with The New York Times, controversial CNN anchor Don Lemon answered all sorts of questions — from why he thinks the missing Malaysia Airlines plane could have been swallowed by a black hole, to why he smelled marijuana in the air during his coverage of the Ferguson riots.

But Lemon’s answer to one particular question sums up his entire career as a public persona:

NYT: You have a track record of upsetting people on the left. What would you say was the worst episode?

LEMON: I don’t know. No one asks Jake Tapper or Wolf Blitzer to be the spokesperson for any particular group. I’m not an advocate or an activist. I’m not a journalist. I’m a comedian.

So there you go dear readers, don’t take Lemon too seriously. Lighten up. Let him be!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Despite her failed marriage to basketball player James Yap, television host and actress Kris Aquino said she still wants to get married again one day. The couple’s marriage was officially annulled in 2012.

‘Everybody should get married,’ Kris said,  ‘but when I’m ready, okay?’
Speaking of being ready, Kris’ older brother, President NoyNoy Aquino,56,  told reporters yesterday that he is ready for marriage, “if the right person comes along.”
Like sister, like brother.
The betting has begun among gambling-loving Pinoys:  who’s gonna get married first, Kris or NoyNoy?

MARCO RUBIO FILES COMPLAINT WITH RNC AND CNBC OVER DEBATE PODIUM PLACEMENT

MIAMI, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles) – Placement is everything, especially in a televised presidential debate.

In the last three GOP presidential debates, the candidates leading in national polls were placed behind the center podiums while the rest were positioned to their left and to their right, in the order of their poll standing.

Apparently, at last night’s debate hosted by CNBC, something wasn’t right with the podium placement.  The two top candidates –Donald Trump and Ben Carson —  were in the middle podiums alright, but former Governor Jeb Bush’s podium was placed right next, and very close, to Trump.

That didn’t sit well with Senator Marco Rubio, who is ahead of Bush in the polls.

As he reviewed news photos of the event, Rubio was aghast at what he saw (see photo).

Today, Rubio filed a formal complaint with the Republican National Committee and CNBC for favoring Bush, not knowing of course, that the photo he was shown by his campaign staff was from . . . The Onion.

As they say in elections, the whole thing was too close to call.
