Oprah’s OWN network lays off 20% of it’s workers. Except the ones with cupcakes..
In a related story, after being fired by Oprah, Rosie O’Donnell says Oprah was “fair”. Obviously to Rosie, the word “fair” means “Satan”…Rosie did not have any cupcakes.

Support the Boycott of Chick-Fil-A for their disgusting support of anti-gay marriage hate groups.
Chick-Fil-A has donated over $2 million dollars (money that it’s customers helped it to make) to anti-gay marriage organizations like the Pennsylvania Family Institute. These are people who have said that striking down Prop 8 was a direct hit to human civilization. They’ve said same-sex marriage threatens children, hurts families, and punishes society by caving in to a radical sexual revolution.
Just doing some checking will reveal that’s not the only anti-gay organization that Chick-Fil-A supports. They donated to these hate groups as follows:
* Marriage & Family Legacy Fund: $994,199
* Focus On The Family: $12,500
* Exodus International: $1,000
Chick-fil-A’s charitable arm, the WinShape Foundation, has been particularly active in the fight against marriage equality. They’ve hosted conferences with some of the leading opponents of gay marriage in this country. A higher up at WinShape has even praised the efforts of anti-gay activist David Blankenhorn for working against marriage equality, and for articulating a solid reason why American culture should reject same-sex couples.
There are currently well over 20 petitions hosted by the social networking non-profit petition site Change.org addressing this very issue. The assortment of Anti-ChickiFil-A petitions can be found at http://www.change.org/petitions#search/chick fil a
Take action to keep Chick-Fil-A from promoting hate against same-sex couples who wish to marry and raise children.
The only business that Chick-Fil-A needs to pay attention to is Chicken.
The personal lives of same-sex couples is certainly no place for a fried chicken chain.
Arizona State University might need to change its name to Censorship U after deciding to block students’ access to popular petition site Change.org.
.
Change.org happens to be hosting a petition created by ASU student Eric Haywood that protests rising tuition costs at the school.
.
This blocking could be violating the First Amendment rights of ASU students to speak freely and petition government.
.
When challenged about the website blocking, ASU officials claimed that Change.org is a spam site, writing that the blocking was conducted “to protect the use of our limited and valuable network resources for legitimate academic, research and administrative uses.”
.
But Change.org is anything but spam. It’s a perfectly lawful website that has helped millions take action on a host of important issues (disclaimer: I worked there as managing editor from 2008-2009).
.
The fact is, disabling access to any lawful site violates the spirit and principles of Net Neutrality, chills academic freedom and possibly rises to the level of a First Amendment violation. It’s astonishing that ASU President Michael M. Crow would allow this to happen — and that’s why Free Press and Change.org are urging him to stop his school’s censorship immediately.
.
We’re at a moment when threats to online speech are peeking around every corner. Just last month, we beat back SOPA and PIPA, two bills in Congress that would have opened the door to online censorship from big corporations.
.
Now Arizona State University is going after free speech. If it gets away with this, other universities could be emboldened to follow suit. We must defend ASU students’ right to speak online.
