Oprah Winfrey sits with Howard University president H. Patrick Swygert during the historically black university’s commencement ceremony Saturday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Oprah Winfrey, whose show has remained the top-rated TV talk show for 20 consecutive seasons, says her success comes from maintaining her principles and serving others.

Bill O’Reilly blasts Akon
May 11, 2007 by Staff · 1 Comment
Bill O’Reilly is going after Hip Hop again ,his last victim is Akon.
Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” recently featured a segment on “rapper Akorn.” “You did some work on this guy Akorn, Ikorn. What corn is this guy, Icon?” O’Reilly sarcastically asked Syndicated Columnist Michelle Malkin. “He’s one of the most popular rappers in America right now,” Malkin replied while laughing at O’Reilly’s inaccuracy. “He’s always at the top of the Billboard Hot Rap Charts and the Pop Charts. He has been for the last year, practically.” Akon may not be the traditional R&B singer, but he’s no rapper.Malkin then bragged about helping get the crooner dropped from Verizon sponsorship. Ok, Akon does have the occasional gun reference and used to push amphetamines, but should his words be perceived as “very explicit lyrics and songs?” Not quite.

MAY 11–When Barack Obama arrived this week for a campaign fundraiser at a Virginia art gallery, one large painting was covered by a curtain and another had been removed entirely before the Democrat’s arrival. Obama’s staff apparently was concerned that the paintings–both by artist Jamie Boling–would somehow embarrass the Illinois senator, who spoke Tuesday night to a crowd of 500 supporters at Richmond’s Plant Zero gallery.
