Anderson Cooper bringing a Gay perspective to 60 Minutes?

Will Anderson be the first openly gay news anchor?

CNN:

The Philadelphia Inquirer has added to the speculation that CNN's Anderson Cooper will be joining CBS's 60 Minutes by reporting that Cooper is expected to replay his CBS features on his own CNN show, Anderson Cooper 360. Inquirer TV columnist Gail Shister reported today (Monday) that the official announcement is expected to be made by CBS Chairman Les Moonves on May 17 at the network's upfront presentation of its fall schedule to advertisers. Shister cited an unnamed source as saying that Cooper will present 5-10 features a year for 60 Minutes.

A Photo of Manbearpig

He's half man, half bear and half pig...he's MANBEARPIG.

Daily Kos via GOP Vixen:

"... Last night's South Park episode seemed to imply, if not to blatantly claim, that global warming is equal to a fictional monster.  Global warming is a real and serious problem, and to equate it with a 'ManBearPig' is just ignorant and irresponsible.  And portraying Al Gore as a whiny little bitch whom 'nobody likes' is just, frankly, rude and insulting.

American Inventors Chase American Dream

Outside of the best show on TV, FOX's 24, ABC seems to have cornered the market on my Tivo.

I like watching people strive for their dreams on American Inventor.

Next Episode via ABC:

Thursday, May 4 at 8/7c - "Episode 108"

Peter Jones, one of the expert judges, will mentor three inventors and guide them through the process of working with product designers, packaging companies, marketing executives and product testing. In an ultimate challenge, the inventors will have their new and improved product tested to see if it delivers, and Peter will face the difficult decision of choosing one of his three to move on to the final round.

Al Gore and Manbearpig

Southpark spoiler via wikipedia:

Al Gore visits the school, and talks about the terrible Manbearpig, which roams the earth. Manbearpig is either half-man, half-bear and half-pig, or half-man and half-bearpig. Stan's Dad says the former VP is desperate for attention; Stan feels sorry for him since he has no friends. Al Gore begins pestering Stan, however, and when Gore breaks down on the phone Stan agrees to go to a meeting about Manbearpig. Al Gore declares that Manbearpig is hiding in the Cave of the Winds, and when he explains they won't have to go to school the kids agree to go with him.

In the cave, Al Gore forces the kids to follow him off the path, and begins shooting wildly, causing a cave-in that leaves the kids trapped in the caverns. While there, the boys search for a way out, and Cartman discovers a small cavern filled with gold, pearls, and other treasure. He attempts to keep the others from finding it, and comes up with a plan to get the treasure out of the cave by ingesting it.

Meanwhile, a rescue team has assembled to find the boys, despite Al Gore's pleas that the caves should be filled with molten lead, as the children have undoubtedly been killed by Manbearpig and the beast must be killed. He then decides to divert the flow of a nearby stream in order to cause a flood that fills the cavern in an attempt to kill the monster. It is also revealed around this point, by the searchers, that the boys are probably near Smugglers' Den—a room full of fake treasure, serving as Cave of the Winds' photo op.

The boys, meanwhile, believe that Cartman—bloated with fake gold and jewels—is really sick, and try to find a way out, carrying him. The water soon floods, and Kyle actually risks his life to get Cartman to safety. The boys manage to escape just as a memorial is being held for them. They scream at Al Gore for using Manbearpig to get attention—he is too full of himself to care—and, when Cartman defecates all the gold—which he learns is fake—they scream at him too.
