| A Fox News anchor in Cincinnati, Ohio has returned to work after a two-day absence from her nightly newscast and an apology for calling MSNBC host Rachel Maddow an ´angry young man.´ Tricia Macke of WXIX-TV was off the air Sunday and Monday, several days after she issued an apology for referring to the openly gay Maddow as ´such an angry young man´ on her Facebook page. Maddow is an author, liberal commentator and host of the 9 p.m. nightly ´Rachel Maddow Show´ on MSNBC. When a viewer reprimanded Macke for her remarks about Maddow, Macke initially didn´t back down.

Comments: So good not to have TV. Looking at the Maddow photos with the article, if someone asked "Is that a man or a woman?" I´d have to flutter a bit and probably land on "man." And I´d only flutter at all because of the blue-framed glasses.

The only good part of no power for two weeks was not having TV.

This would be funnier if not for the fact that she´ll probably be charged with ´hate speech´. IMO it´s different when other women do it. I call Maddow ´he´ all the time.

The indianapolis fox affiliate is so far up obama´s butt, it´s disgusting. The Patreus kerfuffle is finally worth mentioning but only in the context of the general now being in a video game. Not making this up.

I agree. When I first saw Maddow, I couldn´t tell if Maddow was a male or female. And I´m not Kidding. She dresses like a dude, hair cut like a dude, voice kind of like a dude.
She does it purposely. She dresses herself, cuts her hair that way, etc... She´s a female, pretending to be male. Isn´t that the whole idea of being gay???
She is an angry "not so young" man wannabe.

The Daily Mail has it wrong. She is not a "Fox News" anchor. Fox News is a cable outlet that has no local affiliates. She works for the Fox Broadcasting (free) network. Fox News goes to them for some local news coverage and sometimes provides them an anchor for something like a presidential debate. But no one at Fox News has any authority over a Fox Broadcasting local affiliate.

I don´t mind the fact that Raymond Maddow is a homosexual. I´m more alarmed at how much power these communist heathens wield in the scheme of things. Between sexual preference and skin color, we´re all living in constant fear of hate speech persecution.

In the NBC sit-com "Go On" the lead character Matthew Perry is always being mistaken for Rachel Maddow. On Saturday Night Live they did a "Hardball" skit where Chris Matthews keeps calling Maddow "Kyle MacLachlan". If NBC can compare it to a man than it´s fair game.

Tricia Macke is a local darling in Cincinnati and has been a staple here for years. She is down to earth. I ran into her at a local Noodles restaurant once and was impressed that she breaks bread with the common folk...something Rick Maddow would never do.

Maddow has assumed the physical appearance of a man, apparently wanting to be associated as masculine, but when called a man is deeply offended. How truly insane.

You certainly wouldn´t want these ants in your pants. A species of ants, nicknamed ´crazy´ by researchers because they are prone to sporadic movements has descended upon the Southeastern region of the country, particularly in coastal areas with warmer temperatures and has wreaked havoc on yards and homes. ´Crazy´ ants are known scientifically as ´Nylanderia fulva´ and are native to Argentina and Brazil, they are also referred to as ´rasberry´ after the exterminator Tom Rasberry who discovered them in Houston in 2002. The ´crazy´ ants do not have such a painful sting as their insect counterparts, they are still a

People are often called heroes these days without deserving the description. But one who does is Sir Nicholas Winton, who tomorrow celebrates his 104th birthday. As Neil Tweedie reports, this unassuming man characteristically does not want a fuss made either of his great age or of his illustrious past. He is uncomfortable being referred to as the British Oskar Schindler. Yet his achievements warrant the plaudits. In 1939, it was through his efforts that hundreds of predominantly Jewish children living in Czechoslovakia were evacuated to Britain, thereby escaping the Holocaust. Sir Nicholas’s pivotal role in what became known as

Some 10,000 years ago, somewhere in the Middle East’s fertile crescent, happenstance sowed the seeds of much of modern agriculture. Pollen from a wild goat grass landed on primitive wheat, creating a natural--but stronger and more productive--hybrid. [Snip] Now scientists at Britain’s National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB) have deliberately duplicated that ancient accident, with a different goat grass, in an attempt to restart--and enormously accelerate--the process with new genes. Early indications are that this could increase wheat yields by a dramatic 30 percent. The National Farmers’ Union president, Peter Kendall, describes the potential as “just enormous”.

A theater critic is unrepentant after he quite literally took the law into his own hands and smashed the cellphone of another patron who refused to stop using it during a performance on Wednesday night. Kevin Williamson, a writer for the National Review, was attending a performance of ´Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812,´ described as an ‘electro-pop opera’ based on ‘War and Peace’ and playing in New York at Kazino, a temporary structure beside The Standard Hotel. Writing about the incident on the National Review’s website, Williamson said he recommended the show but thought the audience

In an age of terrorism, we have become used to seeing armed police at major railway stations and airports, or guarding other potential targets such as embassies. But when officers with guns are needed to patrol the streets of an English town because of an upsurge in gang shootings, it seems we have reached something of a watershed in our national life. The images of paramilitary-style policemen with assault rifles escorting parents and children to school in Luton are a shocking confirmation that law and order has collapsed in parts of our country.

The leader of the UK Independence Party said the "excesses of Scottish nationalism" can be "pretty ugly" and "deeply unpleasant" after he was surrounded and hassled by hardline demonstrators yesterday. [Snip] Asked about how many elected representatives he has in Scotland, Mr Farage said: "Absolutely none, but rather more than the BBC. We could have had this interview in England a couple of years

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever).

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.
