Bro Chuck's Rant n Rave | 9:24 a.m. Dec. 25, 2008

GIVE ME A BREAK - "slow news day today?." Oprah Winfrey might be the best-loved do-gooder of them all. But this year she lost out to Barack Obama in the ranking of celebrity do-gooders by DoSomething.org, coming in at No. 2. USA Today says the report, which ranks how celebrities inspire people 25 and under, also includes, in order: Angelina Jolie, Ellen DeGeneres, Brad Pitt, Al Gore, Lance Armstrong, Michelle Obama, Bono and Michael J. Fox (all bleeding heart liberal's). You know, for all you liberal's out there, on this day socialism ended and the Berlin wall came down. So, get over it. Merry Christmas. Dec. 25th, 1991: Mikhail Gorbachev resigns as Soviet president, and Communist Russia ceases to exist.
