(Nov. 9) -- Many stars have had to fight persistent rumors about their sexuality. And in that way, Ernie and Bert are no different than John Travolta and Tom Cruise.

I've recounted the stories about the infamous "Ernie and Bert are gay" rumor probably more times than Count Von Count can count. But with "Sesame Street" celebrating its 40th anniversary on Tuesday, I'm going to take it as an opportunity to rehash that same silly rumor one more time.

The first article carries so many inaccurate facts and outright lies it is no wonder that people of different religions end up hating each other.

How the Peninsular can carry articles that inspire hatred is journalism of the lowest kind.

2. 1918. Britain and its Arab allies defeat the ottomans and immediately start emigrating European Jews to Palestine.
