Painting That Ridicules S. Africa's President Is Defaced
Race To The Top Adds School Districts To U.S. Education…
Holy Toledo!!!Even being on television serving up dish to a middle aged, mostly female, mainstream demographic every single day couldn't stop Whoopi Goldberg's radio show from being pulled off the airwaves.
This season's new co-host of ABC's long running gabfest 'The View' may have developed a reputation over the years from engaging the common man with her comedic timing, political rants and acting chops – but that didn't make the muster on New York's Clear Channel Communications radio station WKTU, where her ambitious morning show , 'Wake Up with Whoopi' debuted July 2006.
The family-friendly program with upbeat music, light comedy and heavy lifestyle talk – a sharp comparison to other shows the airwaves – didn't go over to well with The Big Apple.With no warning, the show didn't broadcast on Nov. 28. Instead, a local jock filled in.
According to the New York Daily News, the Premiere Radio-distributed syndicated radio program never found an audience to crack the Top 10 in the city.
"I'm still on the radio," the Academy Award winning actress of 'Ghost' said in an interview yesterday. "Just not in New York." She has a remaining 20 months on her contract and said she plans on fulfilling the obligation.
In the meantime, her daily grind at 'The View' keeps her away from being tied to movie sets, but she is planning a one-woman stage show about the legendary black female comedian Moms Mabley.

I'm a singlemother and a black female and I can not get foodstamps,free medical, or free housing,because contrary to what the TV shows when they show a person that receives assistant is someone of color.But the facts are more than half the people receiving assistance from the goverment are divorsed white females living in communities like Orange County,and your Morman communities,so know your facts before you start shooting off at the mouth.

It's 2008 guys,so lets get it back together! No matter what the reasons the worst thing you could have done was get rid of Goumba and Balty.( Whoopi sucked )and I'm still lost on my morning drive without their whole crew,although not having to listen to Cindy isn't bad.Speedy I miss you poppy! Yeah Goumbas back in the afternoon but New York need him and the rest of the gang to get their day started off right.Myself and 95% of the morning listeners that you probably lost feel the same way. Bring them back. The rednecks can keep Whoopi.
