The guy has some nerve...

Ok he's calling everybody else a liar... but the fact is he's the one lying about his ratings.
He wrote in his letter that:

The Tuesday, January 9, 2007 Variety, “the Bible of show business,” stated, “As for ‘The Apprentice’, a shift from Manhattan to Los Angeles seemed to stoke the interest of auds: Donald Trump --- hosted skein averaged a 4.1/10 in 18-49.” The Apprentice moved “into the demo lead in its final half hour” --- this after five seasons including being the #1 show on television.

But overall, his ratings were down 600,000 viewers from last year. Ok, and if you want to compare with what was on the same day, the show lost it's ratings to Desperate Housewives, and then only after Housewives were over at 10, did it pick up... for about 30 minutes. Then it ended its last half hour as third among total viewers. However, if you want to look at ONLY NBC, then yes, he's right, the show did generate NBC's highest non-sports rating since Nov. 6, 2005. Though Im not sure that is a good way of looking into ratings, as you'd be only comparing yourself with yourself.

I think the bottomline is: There are ALOT of people out there who will NOT watch the Apprentice, because of this feud. I really think that he hurt himself more than anybody else, when he decided to address Rosie's reference on The View.

Then he has the audacity to say to Walters:

"Barbara Walters has taken the low road for the sake of her show rather than the sake of her morality," Trump said in his statement, accusing Walters of lying about her true feelings for O'Donnell."
Seriously who is he to talk about morality? A person who acts for the sake of his/her morality, wouldnt be picking on a stand up comedian, talk show host, just because she made fun of his hair! Oh and I think he needs a wake up call. I heard on the Today show this morning, that he likes his hair, and why shouldnt he be attacking her if she's making fun of it... umm.. he should be attacking just about every single person in America, and Canada, oh and in Europe, oh of course and in Asia too..
Here's something from USATODAY dating back to 2004...

It's official once more.... Johnny is the BEST!
Last night during the 33rd People's Choice Awards he won in a total of 5 categories, including Movie, Movie Drama, On-Screen Match-up (with Keira Knightley), Male Action Star, and Male Star.
It's not a suprise to me... he has the looks, the character, the charisma AND the talent! They dont make'em like that much...

Oh we'll keep him employed for a VERY long tiiiimmeee... ;o))

On a completely unrelated note... sometimes people who think they know everything there is to know about everything should try to learn a little bit of something...
Trump proved to everybody that if you're not careful and think that your ass is safe no matter what, you might be shooting your own ass when you're calling somebody else a fat ass... :o)
I honestly cant believe it.. I didnt like Rosie before this, and Im sure there are alot of people like me, but now I really think she's better than Trump... do you?
I used to watch the Apprentice all the time, never missed an episode before, but now... just cause he's on it... and instead of Catherine we see his daughter no less... I refuse to watch it... apparently there are at least 600,000 people who think the same...
You can read Rosie's updates about the issue from her blog...

Seems like NBC News is getting this thing right too. After one of their meteorologists said that the warming wasnt at all related to global warming, they managed to neutralize their stance with a report that said it was both global warming and El Nino.

Here's a good explanation by John Elliott of CBS News New York of how we should be worried about global warming, and how we can actually do something about it.

For those of you out there who think that no winter means no cold or flu...

"A lot of people are going through two courses of antibiotics instead of one. The cold weather has not killed all the lingering germs."

And for those of you who are still in denial...

"The current El Niño isn't as strong as the 1997-98 occurrence, which helped make 1998 the hottest year on record, but the phenomenon "always bumps it up a little bit," Dr. North said. But only global warming – a general rise in temperatures pushed by greenhouse gas emissions – explains the overall trend toward hotter years, he said.

"It's pretty hard to refute it now," he said.

Mr. Jones of the University of East Anglia agreed."

If you're still denying global warming... even the frogs have gone mad!

Ok.. so this spring-like weather we're having in January in Pennsylvania isn't due to global warming. The meteorologists say it's normal? Then they say it's the first time it's ever happened... hmmm anybody see anything wrong with that kind of reasoning?

Let's see what else we're going to get to see... all the plants are blooming WAY too early. I dont know what the consequences of this can be for next summer and fall, but Im sure we're definitely going to have them...

I cant understand how people can STILL be saying that there is no global warming... we're having ICE shelves break-out, glaciers are melting, we're not experiencing winter anymore, and we're witnessing nature's crazy behavior all over the world.

Many people arent aware of the consequences of all of this. And they dont think there's anything they can do... well check the links on the right for information about the consequences of global warming.

The consequences arent just a few, it's all over us, and it threatens everything, I mean everything. Afterall, what are we without earth?
