Obama brings big numbers to Late Night TV
7.2 million people tuned in to watch Obama’s chit-chat with David Letterman last night, Letterman’s biggest night in four years.
Craig Ferguson saw a boost. His show, which comes right after Letterman’s, brought in 3.24 million viewers, giving him his biggest night ever.
The only loser? Conan O’Brien, who had his second worst night since taking over the Tonight Show: 2.24 million.
WHO declared What?!
Here we go again…the vaccine for this one didn’t work, and neither did this PSA
GENEVA — The World Health Organization told its member nations it was declaring a swine flu pandemic Thursday _ the first global flu epidemic in 41 years _ as infections climbed in the United States, Europe, Australia, South America and elsewhere. In a statement sent to member countries, WHO said it decided to raise the pandemic warning level from phase 5 to 6 _ its highest alert _ after holding an emergency meeting on swine flu with its experts. The long-awaited pandemic decision is scientific confirmation that a new flu virus has emerged and is quickly circling the globe. It will trigger drug makers to speed up production of a swine flu vaccine and prompt governments to devote more money toward efforts to contain the virus. “At this early stage, the pandemic can be characterized globally as being moderate in severity,” WHO said in the statement, urging nations not to close borders or restrict travel and trade. “(We) remain in close dialogue with influenza vaccine manufacturers. On Wednesday, WHO said 74 countries had reported nearly 27,737 cases of swine flu, including 141 deaths.

Never eat a pig, cause a pig is a cop or better yet a terminator like … You know the rest. Don’t get played like sega, 141 people die out of 6 billion and we have a pandemic and need a vaccine? If it’s anything like the vaccine from the 1970’s, I’ll pass. - BEREZ
Jon Stewart continues to hammer Fox News for Obama coverage: Calls out Hannity for unfair editing
| The Daily Show With Jon Stewart | Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c | |||

Last week Jon Stewart took on Fox News for their coverage of Obama’s speech in Cairo calling their personalities “extremists” and saying, “What a torture it must be for such pretty people to see such ugly things.”
Last night, Stewart continued to pound the cable network for biased insinuations, and showed a clip of Hannity editing Obama’s words to unjustly make him sound like a 9/11 apologist. This practice, as our own Jason Linkins has pointed out, is not unique to Hannity, but endemic to Fox as a whole.
To keep things fair, Stewart also looked at the other big two cable networks: MSNBC and CNN. He mocked the former for mentioning Rush Limbaugh at every turn, and CNN for being desperate to win the social networking wars. (Note: That might not actually be a thing.) - Courtesy of Current.com
Fox New’s biased? But it says in plain text “Fair and Balanced.” How about using the internet and researching information yourself? Strictly watching, reading, or listening to media outlets that are all owned by the same handful of corporations is like watching a dog chase it’s tail, it’s funny for a minute and then you realize it’s a pointless. - BEREZ
Miss California USA Prejean dethroned
De ja vu?
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Carrie Prejean has been dethroned as Miss California USA for “contract violations,” including missing scheduled pageant events, according to a state pageant officials. Prejean, 22, retained her title last month despite a controversy over topless photos, missed appearances and her statements against same-sex marriage. “Carrie is a beautiful young woman, and I wish her well as she pursues her other interests,” Trump said. Runner-up Tami Farrell, who was Miss Malibu, will immediately assume the Miss California USA title, state pageant Executive Director Keith Lewis said.This was a decision based solely on contract violations, including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization,” Trump said. I told Carrie she needed to get back to work and honor her contract with the Miss California USA organization, and I gave her the opportunity to do so,” Trump said. “Unfortunately, it just doesn’t look like it is going to happen, and I offered Keith my full support in making this decision.” - CNN.com
It’s ok Carrie it’s not the end, it’s actually the beginning of a long successful political career. One day you may even be governor of California! I mean that will probably be the same day that Santa and Jesus have a battle to the death over who deserves the rights to Christmas, which in your case is pretty optimistic. - Berez
Obama declares time to fix health care is now
The man's style is sick! Hope he's got insurance
GREEN BAY, Wis. – President Barack Obama went to the nation’s heartland Thursday to challenge critics of his proposed health care overhaul, asking: “What’s the alternative?” Obama has run into opposition from fellow Democrats in Congress and the nation’s largest doctors’ association. Dismissing criticism, Obama attempted to sell his proposals directly to Americans. He did not directly respond to the American Medical Association’s president, who remains unconvinced of the wisdom of the White House’s call for a public health plan. Instead, Obama broadly described his critics as naysayers. “I know there are some who believe that reform is too expensive, but I can assure you that doing nothing will cost us far more in the coming years,” Obama said. “Our deficits will be higher. Our premiums will go up. Our wages will be lower, our jobs will be fewer, and our businesses will suffer.” “I will not welcome endless delay or a denial that reform needs to happen,” the president said in a speech that contained no new policy proposals but instead repeated oft-repeated generalities. Obama has set an August deadline for an overhaul that has vexed Washington for decades. - Courtesy of Associated Press
So my man Barack has received opposition from rich politicians and a corporation??? Stick it them BO …I got three stitches last year that cost me over a thousand dollars, meanwhile I could’ve super glued it for 99 cents. We need Health care reform in this country simple as that, all those who think the current system is working either never gets sick or is rich. - BEREZ
Teen diagnoses her own disease in science class
For eight years, Jessica Terry suffered from stomach pain so horrible, it brought her to her knees. The pain, along with diarrhea, vomiting and fever, made her so sick, she lost weight and often had to miss school. Her doctors, no matter how hard they tried, couldn’t figure out the cause of Jessica’s abdominal distress. Then one day in January, Terry, 18, figured it out on her own. In her Advanced Placement high school science class, she was looking under the microscope at slides of her own intestinal tissue — slides her pathologist had said were completely normal — and spotted an area of inflamed tissue called a granuloma, a clear indication that she had Crohn’s disease. She was pretty excited about finding the granuloma,” Welch said. “She said, ‘Ms. Welch! Ms. Welch! Come over here. I think I’ve got something!’ ” Welch, who has taught the Biomedical Problems class at Eastside for 17 years, immediately went on the Internet to see whether Terry had indeed spotted a granuloma. “I said, ‘Jeez, it certainly looks like one to me,’ ” Welch remembered. “I snapped a picture of it on the microscope and e-mailed it to the pathologist. Within 24 hours, he sent back an e-mail saying yes, this is a granuloma. - CNN.com
For eight years doctors missed this and the girl found it while doing homework? Really boosts my confidence in the medical field. Hey Jessica do you take health insurance? On second thought I can’t afford it, how about a date to the prom? -BEREZ

And her heart won’t go on: Last Titanic survivor dies
Oh why did I throw that necklace overboard?! It could've paid for my health insurance!
(CNN) — Millvina Dean, believed to be the last survivor of the Titanic, has died at 97, her friends confirmed Sunday. Dean was just an infant when the RMS Titanic — publicized as “practically unsinkable” and the largest passenger steamship at the time — struck an iceberg on the night of April 14, 1912, during its maiden voyage from Southampton in southern England to New York. The ship sank less than three hours later, killing more than 1,500 people.
Brian Ticehurst, a friend of Dean, said she died at 8 a.m. Sunday.
Dean was hospitalized a few days ago for medical complications before returning to the Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home in Southampton, said Charles Haas, a friend and president of the Titanic International Society based in New Jersey.
The end of an era. And also how we lose touch with our past. Sad.–BEREZ
