If you haven't heard.....

Apparently there is a boycott against the Dunkin' Donuts
franchise for an ad that featured celebrity chef Rachel Ray
donning a scarf that was deamed anti-Arab and anti-Muslim.


The protest started from a comment made by Fox News reporter,
Michelle Malkin where she called the scarf pictured in the ad a kaffiyeh,
which is a article of clothing that is traditonally worn by Palestinian men.

Due to the allegation the corporation immediately pulled the ad and apologized for any wrong doing.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has confirmed that relief trailers that were offered to the victims of Hurricane Katrina are indeed contaminated by the powerful inhalant Famaldehyde. Complaints of wheezing and coughing surfaced in March 2006 after federal officials proclaimed the homes safe.


"Every day we learn more and more about the Bush administration's catastrophic failure to respond to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina," Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said.

"Instead of deploying the resources required to save lives and rebuild communities, the administration consistently cut corners and buried the truth."


The Federal Emergency Management Agency bought 145,000 trailers
for the use of displaced Katrina victims following the disaster that devasted the Gulf Coast back in August 2005 killing 1, 500 people.




The comments made by outspoken priest Fr. Micheal Pfleger
again has Presidental candidate Barack Obama covering his back.

The remarks were made in a sermon last Sunday where Pfleger,
an Obama supporter, mocked the reaction that Sen. Hillary Clinton
after winning the New Hampshire primary.

" She wasn't the only one crying. There were a whole lot of white
people crying," Pfelger told the congregation.

Pfleger after seeing the video on Youtube later apologized.

"These words are inconsistent with Senator Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Senator Clinton or anyone else who saw them."

The comment lead to Obama immediately going on the defensive.

"I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger's divisive, backward-looking rhetoric," Obama wrote.

This is not the first time that Pfleger, who has been the pastor at St. Sabina for more than 25 years, outspokeness has got him in trouble. Several years ago Cardinal Francis George spoke oftransferring the pastor to another parish but didn't after outcry from the south side community.
