Comment: Good Morning. Jfrom I am glad your sister is doing well. I hope everyone has a great day. I read yesterday's posts and all I can say is wow. It is very troubling to me that a black person would not take advantage of the right to vote, especially during such a historic moment. Black people were beaten, abused, maimed and killed fighting for the right to vote and for an educated person not to vote is deplorable and borderline despicable. Anyone who doesn't vote please make sure that you have no complaints or sob stories about your economic situation or whine about how you are oppressed by the white man or whatever excuse valid or otherwise you have for your life. This non voting position flies in the face of all that black unity crap that people in the black community espouse all the time. If you claim to be a democrat and you dont vote for BO then you are just one of those crabs in the barrell that the black community is plaqued with. There is no philosphical or political difference b/w BO and HC, so it is purely personal and not some recent epiphany about how local politics means more. It is just sour grapes and crabs in a barrell mentatlity. That is really disappointing and just confirms that you have to be just as distrusting of your fellow black as you do whites. Anyone who talks about black unity and black people working together but is not going to vote because their white woman candidate didn't win the nomination is full of bull shat. It may seem like an opinion but it is the truth. I could understand not voting for BO if you were a black republican because his platform is entirely opposite of your values and core beliefs politically, but to claim to be a staunch democrat and willingly chose not to vote for BO is petty, immature, and so revealing of character or lack thereof.

Comment: Hey DJ, do you miss me. I got my feet done over the weekend. They are all soft and ready for massaging. Even my toes are attractive. I know you miss some of the inane random news postings so this one is for you. From the New York Post: Eastern Savings Bank has filed suit against entrepreneur Damon Dash, charging the Roc-a-Fella Records co-founder hasn't made a payment on his $78,504.20-a-month mortgage since January. "YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME," reads the foreclosure action against Dash and wife Rachel Roy. The $7.3 million mortgage was actually taken on two TriBeCa properties the couple owns, at 25 N. Moore St. and at 79 Laight St. A rep for Dash did not return a call and e-mail for comment. The clothing big has been besieged by debtors in the past year, despite having an estimated $50 million fortune. The Post reported last year that he owed the city $2 million in back taxes, and the mortgage suit says he has $100,000 in federal tax liens against his properties.

Comment: Terrence Howard told The New York Times that he got the inspiration for one his songs while stalking his ex-wife. Terry said: "I wrote that song (No. 1 Fan) as a stalker. It was raining, and I was sitting there in front of the house, watching her come home from a date after we were divorced. I was imagining what she did on this date, and watching her giving him a kiss. I went home and wrote this song." No. 1 Fan? Please, you know he wrote that song for baby wipes. It's okay, Terry. Your obsession for baby wipes is undeniable. But just in case, some of you should get a restraining order against Terrence Howard. You can never be too prepared. I'll take my chances. Terry is Creepy McCreepster, but I'd still hit it. from dlisted.com

Comment: A Miami judge incurred the wrath of rapper DMX by denying his bond this morning. DMX was arrested in Miami on August 14th on a warrant for failing to appear in a Phoenix court to face drug charges. Before that, he was arrested on multiple drug and traffic charges. DMX has remained in custody in Miami since the arrest because the Phoenix judge who issued the warrant revoked his bond. When Judge Lawrence Schwartz denied his bond, DMX responded by cursing out the judge who quipped, “Oh that just ingratiated you to me. I’ve never heard the “f’ word before so it’s okay.” Maybe DMX forgot that he will have to go before this judge again? (Source)

Lambchop, he said: “It was like having sex with a stuffed animal—with those fake eyes and fake hair. A stuffed animal with a real set of you-know-what. It feels like having sex with an oversize Cabbage Patch. You got silicone parts that are made for toys.”

Comment: I have to say that I am so excited about BO nomination. I am even more excited about him winning the Presidency. The most exciting and meaninful ramification to me is what this can do for the self esteem and dreams of black boys and men in this country. Can you imagine the lift and boost this could give to young black males. I think I may pass out on election night if he does win.

Comment: Somebody thought it was a good idea for Ray-Jto cop his own reality show. It’s officially been green lighted and will air on VH1 in 2009. And it’s not just a reality show…it’s a dating show a la “Flavor of Love”. The whackness has damn near peaked I see. Our sources in the production and programing deptartment of VH1 say no show title has been settled on yet, but it’s definitely a go and they’re casting potential love interests now. Ew.

Comment: I learned a new word this morning: hornswaggle. Spike Lee sticks up for Barack in regards to some people saying he isn’t black enough: “First, I go by the ‘one-drop rule,’” he said in Denver, where he has come to see firsthand his man accept the Democratic nomination for President. “One drop [of black blood], and you’re black. The truth is, every African-American is biracial. Go back far enough, and you’ll find the massah was in the slave quarters. You can’t be black and go to Harvard Law School? You can’t be black and be articulate?” Lee also “respectfully disagrees” with Jesse Jackson, who threatened to castrate Obama for publicly chastising missing black fathers. “You can’t hide that stuff,” Lee told us. “Single-parent households, high-school dropouts. The statistics are there for everybody to see. We have to confront that head-on. Don’t be like the New England Patriots - think that you just have to show up,” he preached. “The Republicans are going to try all kinds of hijinks. Shenanigans. Trickery. Flimflam. They’ll try to hornswoggle us, bamboozle us. It’s not a done deal!”

Comment: OSUN>>>>>Please cut the bullshat!!!!!!!!If a person doesn't want to vote, that his/her business. I've only voted in 3 presidential elections since I was elgible to vote and I did OK. I encourage people to vote more on local stuff that impacts their lives just as much if not more so than just on a national level. You are entitled to your opinion just like anyone else, and if you can't respect other people's opinion without making rude remarks, then you are just as ignorant. I already do things in my community. Can you say that you do the same? It's real easy to say these things on a blind FFA board, but be real and and say these things to me personally. Saying that someone has lack of character because you disagree with their views does nothing but causes division among people. But why am I saying this to you. You've always had diarrhea of the mouth...NOTHING BUT SHYT COMES OUT!!!!

Comment: Ohhh-k...Umm, GOOD MORNING KINGS & QUEENS!!! Happy Humpday! Well, did everyone watch Hillary last night? I did and I give her a solid "B". She did good trying to show her support for Obama and also driving the fact that voting for McCain would be Bush all over again. The reason that I give her a B & not an A is because IMO she could've said a bit more urging her followers to drop the picket signs, stop being bitter (in so many words) and follow suit...But overall, she did a good job. And what was up w/ Bill looking like he was about to cry? They kept cutting the camera to him and dude was looking like he was about to bust out crying! Anywho, again, I was pleased with her speech.

Comment: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP)—Tiger Woods is already the world's top-ranked golfer and highest paid athlete. And if all goes according to plan, he'll soon be sporting his biggest trophy yet: a luxury golf course hewn from the sands of the Arabian desert. The ambitious project, touted as the first course in the world designed by the 2008 U.S. Open champion, remains a work in progress on the outskirts of this Middle Eastern boomtown—much like the rapidly growing city itself. But the project's chief said Monday that the first phase of the development, which among other unlikely features promises 5 million square feet of locally grown grass and more than 30,000 full-grown imported trees, is on target for completion sometime in the last three months of 2009. "Our schedule is currently on track," Abdulla Al Gurg said in an interview with The Associated Press. However, Gurg did leave the Dubai-based developer Tatweer some wiggle room in case the city's notorious work delays snag one of its most high-profile projects, adding: "Our key criteria is adherence to excellence." Tatweer is a division of Dubai Holding, which is owned by the emirate and its ruler, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The golf course project, known as The Tiger Woods Dubai, will be part of a massive theme-park complex known as Dubailand the company is building on barren desert along the edge of the city. Gurg said the company is spending 4 billion dirhams—about $1.09 billion— to build the course and the surrounding housing development. He wouldn't say how much Woods was being paid.

Comment: Jeremy Youngman, a 32-year-old tattoo artist in Downers Grove, likes his birth control the way he likes his body art: permanent. At 27, Youngman got a vasectomy. Unlike the vast majority of the 500,000 men in the U.S. who get sterilized every year, Youngman was single and had no children. To Youngman, the thought of getting a woman pregnant was "the scariest thing in the world." He said he's long known he didn't want to be a father, and he didn't want to take any chances. "It's hard enough to take care of myself, let alone a kid," Youngman said, adding that he still uses condoms to protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unwanted or mistimed, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For some young men, relying on condoms or a woman's promise that she's on the Pill isn't enough to protect against unwanted progeny, so they're opting for vasectomies. The relative ease and affordability of vasectomies, plus the possibility of reversal, make them an attractive option for some men. Doctors tread carefully in such cases. Although any man older than 18 can legally get a vasectomy, doctors can turn men down if they don't believe them to be mature or sure enough of their future plans. "I received a call from an 18-year-old high schooler, and that was a no-no," said Dr. Arif Agha, owner of the Vasectomy and Reversal Center of Chicago, which is in Oak Brook. Dr. Kiu Mostowfi, owner of Vasectomy Clinics of Chicago, said that when a 24-year-old man approached him about a vasectomy, he told him he was too young and suggested he come back in a year after he'd thought about it. When the man returned a year later and was still committed, Mostowfi agreed to perform the vasectomy. Another of Mostowfi's patients, Justin Holt, 27, of Chicago said the doctor grilled him with "what-if" questions for 40 minutes before agreeing to perform his vasectomy last month. Holt, who lives in Logan Square, said he's sure he never wants children. "It's the only way to be responsible for myself and my behavior," said Holt, who works as a data specialist for a financial firm. While Holt said he has no regrets, the finality of the decision has been surprisingly emotional. "Every once in a while you get this weird thought of, 'I'm never going to be a father,' " Holt said. "It's equal parts terrifying because you're not like everyone else, and also because you made this extreme decision at 27."

Comment: Doctors must give "extensive counseling" on the benefits and risks of vasectomy to ensure men know what they're getting into, said Dr. Chris Gonzalez, a urologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Among the benefits: The no-scalpel procedure, introduced in the U.S. in the 1980s, typically takes about 15 minutes under local anesthesia, and requires little recovery time. Its $1,000 cost is typically covered by insurance. Among the risks: There's the possibility of chronic pain, which occurs in 1 of every 500 men. And while vasectomies can be reversed, men shouldn't count on it, doctors say. Vasectomy reversal is a complex procedure that takes three to four hours, and the $10,000 to $25,000 cost is typically not covered by insurance. Plus, men don't always get their fertility back, especially if more than 10 years pass between the vasectomy and the reversal. "We want men to look at vasectomy as a permanent solution," Gonzalez said. Don Anderson, a mechanical engineer who lives in Oak Park, said he thought carefully before deciding to get a vasectomy at 34, a year after he got married. He and his wife agreed they didn't want children, and they were tired of combining condoms and birth control pills to ensure they didn't get pregnant. Vasectomy was cheaper and less risky than a tubal ligation, a surgical procedure to sterilize women. Instead of buying an engagement ring, they decided to use that money to buy a red Mazda Miata (for her) and a vasectomy (for him). Anderson said that while his doctor didn't give him trouble, he's disappointed to hear of other young men getting turned down for vasectomies simply because they don't already have children. "Somebody who's in their 20s can easily decide to have children," Anderson, now 42, said. "It's ridiculous that they can't make the decision to not have children

Comment: Five foods now in season If you're eating seasonally, August and September are good months to buy beets, apples, chard, raspberries and spinach, according to Jonny Bowden's latest book, "The Healthiest Meals on Earth." Here's a closer look: Beets. An important source of potassium and both betaine and folate--two nutrients that play important roles in the health of the cardiovascular system. Apples. The quercetin found in apple skins has been linked to a reduction in heart disease and lung cancer, and pectin has been shown to lower cholesterol and glucose levels and helps fight prostate cancer. Chard. One cup provides almost twice as much potassium as a banana, 10,000 IU of vitamin A and 19,000 mcg of lutein and zeaxanthin (members of the carotenoid family that protect the eyes). Raspberries. High in fiber, ellagic acid (may help to inhibit the growth of certain types of tumors), potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin K. Spinach. Pound for pound provides more nutrients than almost any other food on the planet.

Comment: NEWARK, N.J. -- Retired New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan won the latest round in his lengthy divorce case on Tuesday when a state appeals court reversed a lower court's awarding of about $18,000 per month in child support to his twin 3-year-old daughters. The three-judge panel found a lower court didn't adequately review the claims by Strahan's ex-wife, Jean, about the girls' needs. For instance, among the listed expenses were a 10-day vacation to Jamaica for the girls' nanny and her family, allegedly as a gift from the children, and diamond jewelry given to their grandmother. Strahan's ex-wife also claimed the toddlers needed $27,000 per year for clothing because she dressed them in a new outfit each time they saw their father. "Some of the expenses claimed by defendant clearly should have been deleted by the court," the appeals court concluded. Strahan was to have paid $8,948 on the first and 15th of each month. Under Tuesday's ruling, the matter will be reconsidered by the lower court. "Mr. Strahan is gratified with the result and feels his legal position has been vindicated," Strahan's lawyer, Angelo Genova, said Tuesday. "He hopes the matter can be resolved amicably going forward in the interests of his children." The appeals court also ruled Strahan does not have to pay about $14,000 of his ex-wife's legal and accounting fees, and that he is not required to purchase $7.5 million in disability insurance since he retired from professional football earlier this year. Strahan told FoxSports.com on Tuesday that he is staying retired instead of returning to the Giants after the season-ending injury to Osi Umenyiora. The Strahans married in 1999, but went through a bitter public divorce in 2005 and 2006 that included allegations by Jean Strahan that her husband physically abused her. In 2007, a judge ordered Michael Strahan to pay his ex-wife $15.3 million, but he appealed the ruling and later the couple settled for a lower sum.

Comment: NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Nine-year-old Jericho Scott is a good baseball player -- too good, it turns out. The right-hander has a fastball that tops out at about 40 mph. He throws so hard that the Youth Baseball League of New Haven told his coach that the boy could not pitch any more. When Jericho took the mound anyway last week, the opposing team forfeited the game, packed its gear and left, his coach said. Officials with the Youth Baseball League of New Haven say they will disband Jericho Scott's team because his coach won't stop him from pitching. Officials for the three-year-old league, which has eight teams and about 100 players, said they will disband Jericho's team, redistributing its players among other squads, and offered to refund $50 sign-up fees to anyone who asks for it. They say Jericho's coach, Wilfred Vidro, has resigned. But Vidro says he didn't quit and the team refuses to disband. Players and parents held a protest at the league's field on Saturday urging the league to let Jericho pitch. "He's never hurt any one," Vidro said. "He's on target all the time. How can you punish a kid for being too good?" The controversy bothers Jericho, who says he misses pitching. "I feel sad," he said. "I feel like it's all my fault nobody could play." Jericho's coach and parents say the boy is being unfairly targeted because he turned down an invitation to join the defending league champion, which is sponsored by an employer of one of the league's administrators. Jericho instead joined a team sponsored by Will Power Fitness. The team was 8-0 and on its way to the playoffs when Jericho was banned from pitching. "I think it's discouraging when you're telling a 9-year-old you're too good at something," said his mother, Nicole Scott. "The whole objective in life is to find something you're good at and stick with it. I'd rather he spend all his time on the baseball field than idolizing someone standing on the street corner." League attorney Peter Noble says the only factor in banning Jericho from the mound is his pitches are just too fast. "He is a very skilled player, a very hard thrower," Noble said. "There are a lot of beginners. This is not a high-powered league. This is a developmental league whose main purpose is to promote the sport." Noble acknowledged that Jericho had not beaned any batters in the co-ed league of 8- to 10-year-olds, but say parents expressed safety concerns. "Facing that kind of speed" is frightening for beginning players, Noble said. League officials say they first told Vidro that the boy could not pitch after a game on Aug. 13. Jericho played second base the next game on Aug. 16. But when he took the mound Wednesday, the other team walked off and a forfeit was called.

Comment: My issues on religion and politics, to each his or her own. That is the way I feel about it. The same people feel about voting I feel about religion. In the black community we have churches on every corner and what problems do most of them solve? Zero. Self reliance is the way and that is just how I feel about it. Many black community programs I place in the same light, you have shady individuals getting grant money and just wasting it. So I just say you do as you feel.

Comment: now onto you GHank, you seem to pick and choose when you want to jump up and cry foul about something, and again OSUN was just giving her opinion. Don't get salty when someone doesn't agree w/ you. Hell I was and AM a HRC supporter for 2012 and/or 2016, but for right now we have to work to get BO in the yt house. and you can dedicate yourself to local politics all you want, but the whole idea that it's ok to tell someone to shut the phuckk up or tell them they have diarrhea of the mouth leads me to believe that you don't socialize with people who have different opinions from you very often. that leaves you w/ not a whole lot to offer if you can't take criticism and offer intelligent conversations and arguments. i'm saying this in cyber love b/c i don't want you to go ex-communicado (if that's a word) again, but this has got to stop. you knew when you typed what you did that you would receive some comments, so either watch what you type or take it on the chin. you put it out there and now we're calling you on it. my grandmother wasn't born w/ the right to vote but the first chance she got, she sure as hell did vote. HOW DARE YOU not take advantage of the opportunities that her blood and the blood of your ancestors gave you? as BO said, 'you should be ashamed of yourself'. that is all. now u can bring the hate if u want to, or u can take some time to reflect on what's been said to you and come correct next time.....

Ummm, fam, last night when I went to the restroom here in the office, my cell phone fell out of my pocket, the battery cover bounced up and into the toilet and the thing is automatic and flushed. When I left work, I had to go straight to the Sprint store and drop $217 on a new phone.

Comment: **MESSAGE FROM OSUN** Ghank you are so very special. If you really felt all the criticism was ignorant and had no merit you would ignore it. You feel the constant need to defend yourself because you know that you are wrong. You set yourself up for the lashings you get because you always espouse that the black people should have unity, blah blah blah, and when you get an opportunity to act with the registered voting black community you decided not to vote. Not because of the lame excuse you gave yesterday, but because you didn’t like the treatment you get from the Obama supporters on this board and probably out in reality. Lying and flip flopping absolutely shows lack of character. Inability to take criticism and not blow up like an infant when you are a middle aged man shows lack of character. I can most definitely say that I do things in my community, and they are a lot more hands on than college recruitment for HBCUs. Just because I don’t take every opportunity to broadcast and advertise them doesn’t mean they are not done. I am a big sister with big brothers/big sisters trying to make a positive and BALANCED and SANE contribution to a young girls life and her family. Although I do get paid to tutor, I also tutor young black children with learning disabilities for free because their parents can’t afford the Sylvan’s and private tutoring. Let’s not go tit for tat for what we do in the community. I thought I was saying it to you personally. Everyone including your simple self was able to deduct that the post was aimed at you as well as people like Melody Cool and others. I don’t think it is easier to post comments on a blind FFA board as it is in person. As you have stated I have always had diarrhea of the mouth, so that totally negates that statement. Please attempt to remain coherent and make logical statements. That would help your faltering cause. I would think you would realize that people make posts like this because they know you will over react. At least try to speak me out with out cursing me. It would make you appear more intelligent. What is that saying, “It is best to be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt?” I will be awaiting your next jab eagerly.

Comment: Osun - Again, your post is on point. /Bey - Hey lady. How you doing? When do you need to be in Dallas? I would check with Southwest. They always have specials, but Dallas is their home. When planning a trip, I generally go to Expedia just as a starting point. You can see which airlines are the cheapest. Then I'll go to each individual airline's site because most a lot of times the fares are cheaper. I have not seen your friend yet. I have been here for almost two weeks and I look for her each time I go in there, but she's never there. They have changed stuff so much over here. It seems like the people change everyday.

Comment: yelleyw, for real, it was in my pocket, i swear! I was pulling my pants up and it fell out of my pocket and bounced onto the floor, i thought the whole thing was on the floor but i saw the back in the toilet, as soon as i turned, the thing automatically flushed (not like i was gonna stick my hand in pee-pee water anyway). My insurance would have covered it but i didn't want the same phone again. I'll go by the sprint store after work and see if they can show me where the alarm is (you KNOW i didn't read the instruction manual).

Comment: Morning. Osun, you said that in your first post! Ok, why was I almost late for an interview because I was calling into the radio station to qualify to win a chance to meet TI? Whenever you hear TI's song, you got to be the 16th caller to qualify. They played the song right as I was pulling up to the interview. I got through and I was the 16th caller. They put me on hold for about 4 minutes. It was 2:55 (interview was at 3) according to my car clock. I sat on that phone until they came back on line to take my information. On Sept 16, they are drawing names to win 2 airline tickets to ATL, 2 night hotel stay, ground transporation, and a meet and greet section with TI. If I win, I'm having TI's baby! So yall get prayed up! Oh, the interview went well but I lost interest after being told the salary.

Comment: Gov. Jennifer Granholm has designed the removal hearing she ordered for next week against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick in a way that makes it difficult for Kilpatrick to survive in office, legal experts say.It's a clear message to Kwame that he's going to lose," said Maurice Kelman, a retired Wayne State University law professor. "There's no way she can exonerate him." Granholm's decision, reached Tuesday, sets up a historic Sept. 3 hearing at the Cadillac Place Building in Detroit in which the mayor will have to convince the governor that his handling of police whistle-blower settlements did not amount to official misconduct. Her decision to proceed also puts pressure on Kilpatrick to reach a plea deal quickly in his perjury and %*$ault cases or risk losing what leverage he still holds with prosecutors: his willingness to leave office. "The mayor has to understand with the hearing going forward, his biggest bargaining chip -- his resignation -- could disappear at any time, especially if the hearing is not going in his favor," said Peter Henning, a Wayne State University law professor. In rejecting the mayor's efforts to stop the proceedings, Granholm said she would limit her inquiry to two questions: • Did he authorize settlements of the police cases "in furtherance of his personal and private interests?" • Did he "conceal from or fail to disclose to the" Detroit City "council information material to its review and approval of the settlements?" Even without Kilpatrick's testimony -- his attorney said no decision has been made on whether he would testify -- the council already has presented enough evidence to Granholm to affirmatively answer those questions, several lawyers said.

Name: TheQuietGuy
Comment: In Granholm's signed order, dated Monday but released at 9:47 a.m. Tuesday, the governor rejected the arguments of Kilpatrick's attorney to dismiss the hearing, or at least delay it until the mayor's pending criminal cases are resolved. Sharon McPhail, the mayor's general counsel, said Tuesday she was "very disappointed" with Granholm's decision and said Kilpatrick's legal team is considering going to court in an effort to block the hearing. In May, the City Council voted 5-4 to ask Granholm to remove Kilpatrick because of his false testimony at a police whistle-blower trial last summer and his later effort to settle that and another suit for $8.4 million without informing the council of a secret side deal to hide damaging text messages that would expose his trial lies -- and those of his chief aide, Christine Beatty. Granholm's decision to hold the hearings was released as the governor attended a breakfast meeting of the Michigan delegation at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Tuesday. Granholm refused to take questions. Lawyers who have studied the law authorizing the governor to remove elected officials for misconduct said the two questions Granholm said would serve as the focus of the hearing put Kilpatrick in a jam. While McPhail argued that the hearing -- if it took place -- should focus on Kilpatrick's intent (Did he intend to mislead the council by not telling council members of the side deal?), Granholm opted instead to focus on what actions the mayor took or failed to take. Larry Dubin, a University of Detroit Mercy law professor, said the hearing does not bode well for the mayor. "There is sufficient documentary evidence to establish the existence and then concealment of text messages as a clear motivating factor by the mayor and city to settle the police officers' case," he said. Henning, the Wayne State professor, said that he remains unsure how Granholm defines official misconduct. "Even if he did conceal things, is that sufficient evidence for her to remove the mayor?" he asked. Granholm's order cites several court cases on the meaning of official misconduct. It is established, she wrote, "when a public officer engages in activities in his official capacity for personal gain and conceals information about those activities."

Name: TheQuietGuy
Comment: Granholm also shot down McPhail's argument that the mayor's due process would be violated if the removal hearing was held while the mayor's criminal trial on perjury and other charges relating to the text scandal was pending. "The two proceedings are inherently different in their nature and purpose," Granholm wrote. McPhail, who Monday urged Granholm not "to join the lynch mob," said Tuesday the mayor's legal team, while disappointed, will "present evidence that proves the mayor did not misuse public funds for personal gain and that there was no failure to appropriately inform the City Council about the facts of the court-ordered settlement." Bill Goodman, the council's attorney, hailed the decision, calling it "a detailed, careful and very well-crafted opinion." City Councilman Kwame Kenyatta said city residents deserve resolution to the mayoral scandal that has consumed City Hall officials since the Free Press broke the text message story in January. "The clock is ticking for the mayor," Kenyatta said. "He has had plenty of opportunity to accept a deal" to resolve his criminal cases "or step down himself, but he had chosen not to do so, so now he's put himself in the position where the sitting governor is poised to remove him from office." Councilwoman Barbara-Rose Collins, who voted against asking Granholm to remove Kilpatrick, said she would have liked to see the perjury case resolved first. "She must have thought it through carefully," said Collins, who has asked Kilpatrick to resign. "I'm disappointed, but I can't second-guess her." Detroit political consultant Adolph Mongo said it's clear Granholm has given in to political pressure instead of allowing Kilpatrick his day in court. "When the principals in the case can't even testify because of legal obligations to the criminal proceedings, the system is flawed," he said. Granholm also announced that state administrative law judge Gregory Holiday will serve as a special administrative assistant -- managing the hearing, administering oaths and keeping records.

Name: TheQuietGuy
Comment: In remarks Tuesday, McPhail denied the existence of any behind-the-scenes plea talks to resolve the mayor's criminal problems. In fact, attorneys for the mayor and prosecutors have been talking for nearly a week, sources said. Henning said he wouldn't be surprised to see plea negotiations continue into next week and, possibly, simultaneously with the removal hearing. Marvin Barnett, a Detroit criminal defense attorney, said he thinks the case will be settled before then. "The moment you go into negotiations, that's a one-way street," he said.

Comment: August 27, 2008 -- Trio Aimed to Do Evil. Three "bigoted meth heads," armed with high-powered sniper weapons, were consumed by a seething hatred of Barack Obama, federal authorities said yesterday. Authorities recovered a terrifying arsenal: a Remington Model 721-270 bolt action rife, a Ruger M77, Mark II 22-250 bolt action rifle, boxes of Remington and Winchester ammo, two-way radios, bulletproof vests, camouflage gear and wigs. And in a chilling interview late Monday night, one of the men made his murderous hatred crystal-clear. "[Obama] don't belong in political office," Nathan Johnson, 32, told a TV station in Denver. "Blacks don't belong in political office. He ought to be shot." Yet the suspects - at least one of whom allegedly has white-supremacist ties - were slapped only with minor drug and gun charges, as the feds tried to downplay the seriousness of the threat. But sources said more serious charges could be filed after the convention. US Attorney Troy Eid called Johnson, Tharin Gartrell and Shawn Robert Adolf "hateful and bigoted meth heads," but added that they were high all the time and that investigators were not convinced they had a solid plan to %*$assinate Obama. Still, "the investigation is . . . ongoing. It is an open case," Eid said. The alleged plot unraveled when Johnson's cohort, 28-year-old Gartrell - a professional club-music DJ who had a suspended driver's license - was stopped Sunday for driving erratically in Aurora, Colo. Inside his pickup truck was the cache of weapons, officials said. Authorities want to how and why the men had amassed the arsenal, sources said. Police said they also found 4.4 grams of methamphetamine in the truck. Johnson later %*$erted that it was clear what the weapons were supposed to be used for. "[We were] going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a . . . rifle . . . sighted at 750 yards," he told Denver's KCNC-TV. But hours before his TV interview, Johnson had told the feds something different: that he and buddies had the powerful guns to go hunting in Denver, according to a federal affidavit. Then, once FBI agents began picking apart his story, "Johnson began to cry and admitted that Adolf had threatened to kill Obama on a prior occasion," court papers said. Johnson further related that Adolf said that he wanted to kill Obama on the day of his inauguration," according to the papers. After Gartrell was busted, Johnson was arrested in his hotel room near Denver, while Adolf, 33, jumped out of a sixth-floor hotel window before being nabbed. An unidentified female pal of Adolf's told the feds of a Saturday-night gathering of the three men and another woman in Johnson's hotel room, according to court papers. Adolf's female friend said the men kept calling Obama the n-word and saying they "could not believe how close he was to becoming president," the federal affidavit said.

Comment: Nuns’ online beauty pageant canceled by priest Associated Press Tuesday, August 26, 2008 ROME — An Italian priest backtracked from his idea to organize an online beauty pageant for nuns, saying Tuesday he had been misunderstood and had incurred the protests of the faithful and local religious authorities. The Rev. Antonio Rungi had thought of the beauty contest to give nuns more visibility within the Catholic Church and to fight the stereotype that they are all old and dour. The “Miss Sister 2008” contest was supposed to start in September on a blog run by the priest, who is a theologian and schoolteacher from the Naples area. But he changed his mind after seeing reports that suggested nuns would be metaphorically put on a catwalk. He said what he had in mind was not just external beauty but what he called “overall beauty.” “I wanted to make a blog on vocations, one where everybody could bring their own experiences,” Rungi said by telephone from his town of Mondragone, about 35 miles north of Naples. “I wanted to create a showcase for the pastoral experience of nuns.” “Instead, they made it look like it was a catwalk a la Miss Italy,” he said. “I have been misunderstood.” The reverend said attacks against him, phone calls and e-mails prompted him to cancel the plan, as well as reported unease of his religious superiors over the idea. Still, Rungi said he hopes the idea can be revived in the future, if he can bring on board local religious authorities.

She says she couldn't find anything, so I told her that if she wanted to go to the Galleria that she has to put gas in my car...mind you her friend Tranice was with her and she had to take her home. So, I let her drop me off at home and go to the Galleria. I told her to have her butt home by 10 since it's a school night.

Comment: Tisdale has part of leg amputated due to cancer By MURRAY EVANS Associated Press Writer OKLAHOMA CITY — Former NBA player Wayman Tisdale had part of his right leg amputated Monday because of bone cancer. Tisdale, 44, revealed on his Web site that the surgery was scheduled for Monday. His wife, Regina, told The Associated Press on Tuesday night the surgery had taken place as planned. "Everything went well," she said. Tisdale, a 6-foot-9 Tulsa native who played for Oklahoma before spending 12 seasons in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns, first learned he had cancerous cyst below his right knee after he broke his leg in a fall at his home in Los Angeles on Feb. 8, 2007. Tisdale, now an award-winning jazz musician, under went treatment and later had knee replacement surgery and resumed touring. Tisdale was still undergoing chemotherapy when he told the AP in June that "I feel better than ever. I'm excited. I've got a whole new look on life. I look at life on a whole 'nother radar." Tisdale told the AP that his latest album, "Rebound," was inspired by his ongoing fight against the cancer. On his Web site, Tisdale said removing a portion of the leg would be the best way to ensure that the cancer would not return. "This may sound drastic, but I have put it in God's hands and now have peace, knowing that this is the best way to put this disease in check," he said. "I have complete faith that with the Lord's blessings this surgery will eliminate the cancer from my body and I'll soon be back on the road doing what I do best." Tisdale said he planned to resume touring in the fall and that he would attend an annual cruise that he hosts. According to statistics from the National Cancer Institute, about 63 percent of people diagnosed with bone cancer live at least 10 more years. In 1983, Tisdale became the first freshman to make The Associated Press' first-team All-America list. Tisdale was also an All-American in 1984 and 1985. He was the Big Eight Conference's player of the year in each of his three seasons with the Sooners and still holds Oklahoma's single-game, season and career scoring records. He played on the U.S. team that won the gold medal in the 1984 Olympic Games. He went on to average 15.3 points per game during his pro career. ___

As the saying goes, "Nobody knows your business unless YOU tell it."

Comment: You may be feeling stuck and discouraged when it comes to completing your project, exercising, college, weight loss, increasing your savings, building your business, seeking a job or self-control to stay clean and sober. Emotions can paralyze your motion. Keep it moving even though you may not "feel" like doing what you need to do. My definition for "discipline" is doing what you don't want to do now --- so you can do what you want to do in the future. Get up. Motivate yourself. Press on, persist, persevere and push past your pain and discomfort. Life is so precious. Life is too short to sit around having a pity party, sleeping your time away, complaining or living with excuses or lack of knowledge. Get up. Step up. Think up. Cheer up. Stand up. Grow up. Pray up. Reach up. Speak up. Keep up and don't give up.

Comment: The Queen of Talk Shows is reportedly trying to round up all the American gold medalists for a special edition of the “Oprah Winfrey Show,” the New York Post reports. The United States won a total of 36 gold medals. Agents for several athletes confirmed that the show’s producers had contacted them about an appearance with a possible air date of Sept. 11. Olympian Ronda Rousey, the only American to ever win a medal in judo, also seemingly confirmed the story when she wrote on her blog over the weekend, saying, “I am going to be on Oprah September 11th on some Olympic medalists special.” If Oprah does manage to gather all of the gold medalists for her show, she’ll need to make room for more than just 36 athletes. Some of the medals were won in team sports such as basketball (which is made up of 12 players), and each player is awarded a medal, but those wins each count as only one gold medal. According to the Post, a spokesman for Oprah said Sunday that the show “is not confirmed.”

I guess after yesterday's and this morning's clashes it could be needed to chill everybody out. >size12, my mind is funkin acting silly this morning...the song you're talking about is on my ipod(which isn't by my side right now). Thing is, that's one of my jams! Something about 'so fine...you blow my mind' or something to that effect. It's on the tip of my tongue and IF the light bulb goes off I'll hit you back with that. Hit OSUN up and tell her that she is missed and thank you for her posts and doing mankind a favor and getting them feets did...;)

Comment: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:43-45 Thought for the Day: Love, Not Hate, Should Rule Your Life Reflection for the Day: Let No One Stop You From Loving Them Jesus made it clear that He expected more from His disciples than perhaps they had been told previously. They were instructed to not only love their friends, but also love their enemies. Jesus expected them to do good to those who persecuted and despitefully used them. As the disciples did so, they would be following the pattern set by the Lord Himself. In your dealings with others, you may have discovered there are some who try your patience. Their attitude towards you makes it difficult for you to treat them in a manner of love and kindness. You know the commandment of the Lord. Seek after His overwhelming love in your life so that you might truly demonstrate that spirit

She asked, well she TOLD me that she was gonna be the baby's godmother and I said "Oh no you WON'T!" I explained to her why and she let it go. As for her going to her b/f's house today, I just may let her go. But my reluctance is because I don't want her to lose FOCUS on what's important. She's a popular girl and she's a bit of a social butterfly...however, I don't give a damn about none of that if her grades begin to decline. She has always kept her gpa 3.0+, so I'm very proud of her...I just don't want her to slip too far into the 'social scene' and then allow her grades to suffer. Maybe But ame, that's a great idea! I can just have her to print me out the ones she applied for. I'm gonna tell her that I want a print out of at least 2 per week. I dunno...I think I'll probably let her go...I'm not working out today (I go mon., tues, thurs., sat.) so I can just go home and 'chill' by myself since my son has football practice & hubby is his coach...*I love my ME time!*

Comment: Okay, here's the text I'm about to send her...I will allow you to go to Janita's house tonight to see CJ. Just remember that my gas hand needs to be exactly where it was when you 1st got in my car. Also, I'm gonna leave it up to you to find your own scholarships. That's gonna be YOUR responsiblity. I told you, go to fastweb.com to find them and also scholarshipexperts.com to find various scholarships that you qualify for. Also, you are qualified for a McDonald's scholarship so you need to go to mcdonalds.com to apply for that one. I'm not gonna even bring it up anymore...I'm gonna just trust you with it. However, I do want a copy of the scholarships that you apply for so that we can keep a record of them. So when you apply, print it out and give it to me and I'll get a folder to keep them in. So, your future is in your hands. If you wanna go away to school, then just know that me & your daddy don't have a lot of money. We'll have an account set up for you and you'll have a debit card, but there will not be a whole bunch of money on it. Just enough for you to get survive. You'll be on a budget. So, again, I'm no longer gonna press the issue, but I expect to receive print outs at the end of each week. Remember, if you wanna go away, you HAVE to get a scholarship and the only way to do that is to be persistant and search OFTEN. If not, you'll be going to Forest Park Community College. It's all up to you... Love, Ma

Comment: Had to look it up. I was partially right: Traditionally, the godparents were counted informally responsible for ensuring that the child's religious education was carried out and for caring for the child should he/she be orphaned. Today the word "godparent" may not have explicitly religious overtones. The modern view of a godparent tends to be an individual chosen by the parents to take an interest in the child's upbringing and personal development. However, godparent is not a legal position, and should the parents seriously intend the godparents to act as foster parents in case of their death, this must be legally specified through the usual means (such as a will). A godparent may, or may not, be related to the child. A child may have one, two or several godparents.""

Comment: EDI of The Outlawz released a statement to streethop.com to counter the allegations in the book by Faith Evans. I knew somebody was going to step up to the plate! "Let me start off by saying that this is not an attempt to fight Tupac's battles. Over the past twelve years there have been numerous articles, books, DVD's, movies, interviews, etc about Pac and his life. We normally do not speak nor comment on [bulls**t] because it's really not worth it and we all have better things to do than argue with idiots. But recently I heard about a book by Faith Evans and there is an excerpt released to the media in which she portrays Tupac as some sort of sick gorilla pimp or sex offender. Of course Ms. Evans wants you, the reader, to see her as the victim, even though she admits to cheating on her husband with not one but two different men at the same time; but Tupac wasn't one of them? Of course! Look none of us was there when it happened but I know what Pac told us and Pac was a lot of things, but a liar he was not. I am sure the publishers would not have cut her the check if my homies' name was not in the book, so I understand her dilemma. But it is cowardice to make such an allegation when he isn't even here to defend himself.”

Name: formerlyknownasarkansasgirl
Comment: Another excerpt from Faith's book: Even before we moved to Brooklyn, I noticed that Big was kind of rough and abrasive toward Kim. I once heard him screaming on her at his mother's house although I had no idea why. "You think you special? He screamed. "I'll go get Inga right now." While Kim cried, Big kept yelling at her. "We don't need you for this group. Inga would be happy to be down." (The "Inga" he was referring to was a sixteen year old rapper named Foxy Brown who would go on to be Kim's nemesis) "You ain't special," He said. "I will replace you’re a** with the quickness. Don't forget that s**t." I think seeing the way they talked to her and about her made me dismiss her. I usually have Spider-Man senses when it comes to other women. But with Kim, there was nothing." I remember going to a hotel room in Manhattan where Big was staying. And when I got there, Kim was on her way out. She ended up hanging around for a bit longer and getting a ride back to Brooklyn with me. "I know you're Big's wife," she said, as I drove us over the Brooklyn Bridge. "We're more like brother and sister." I just nodded. My Lil' Kim bulls**t detector was still set on off.

Shoot I'm grown and if something happened to my godson's mom I know her sisters would step in and raise him and there would be nothing I could do about it although I would because I would see that as a responsibility I had full knowledge of and accepted when I was asked.

She said her back was hurting extremely bad. The nurses/doctors may have to give her some other kind or additional medicine. They were giving it to her around the clock, but she was out of it so they gave her a button to push when she needs it and it goes in her IV I think. But she said it's not working. I started crying when I was talking to her cos I hate to see or know she is going through this and we can't help her. It really upset me. Anyway, I just told her to pray about it and that I will continue praying for her. Like I said, thanks for asking. I gotta go, but y'all have a blessed evening. Be safe.

Comment: asize - You are such a good mother! I like your text. You are giving her freedom, coupled with responsibility and accountability. That is really preparing PD for adult/real life. I agree with you and others that teenagers aren't ready to be traditional godparents. I take being a godparent very seriously, I would take custody of my godchildren if the need arose. Although all 6 are now out of state, I keep in touch and was good about sending birthday gifts (got slack last year). My niece that I talk about isn't blood-related, but I love her like she is mine. She is my godsister's daughter. Her grandparents (my godparents) are raising her because her mother died. If anything were to happen to them they have it in writing that I am to raise her, not their son. Also, one of my cousins asked me if she could list me as her daughter's guardian in her will should anything happen to her. She has a mother and two sisters but she said I would be the best person and she told them that. I was surprised and honored. I love children, and whether or not I'm blessed to have my own, I'll always cherish the ones who are a part of my life.

The banged-up and bruised tykes were made to engage in fisticuffs during "circle time" and were told that they should not mention anything about baby brawls to their parents, according to police.

Comment: Former NBA star Kevin Duckworth dies LINCOLN CITY, Ore. — Former Portland Trail Blazers center Kevin Duckworth died while on a trip to the Oregon Coast to host a free basketball clinic. He was 44. The Lincoln County sheriff's office confirmed the death. He died Monday. The 7-foot Duckworth averaged 11.8 points and 5.8 rebounds over 11 seasons in the NBA, helping Portland reach the NBA finals in 1990 and 1992. The two-time All-Star also played for San Antonio, Washington, Milwaukee and the Los Angeles Clippers. "Kevin will be remembered by fans as one of the most popular and recognizable players to ever wear the Blazers uniform, but to people who knew him, he'll be remembered as one of the warmest and biggest-hearted," Trail Blazers president Larry Miller said. The Blazers said he was representing the team on a 19-city tour of Oregon. Duckworth was born in the Chicago suburb of Harvey and drafted by the San Antonio Spurs out of Eastern Illinois University in 1986. The Spurs traded him that season to the Trail Blazers, where he had his greatest success, playing with Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Buck Williams and Jerome Kersey on two Western Conference championship teams. Duckworth remained in the Portland area after he retired in 1997, doing woodwork, fishing and hunting. He ran a construction company in Northern California for a time, and a restaurant venture in Vancouver, Wash., with former NBA player Kermit Washington went out of business. The cause of death was to be determined by a medical examiner.

Comment: Hey Amethyst *waving*. I hear you, but you could end up raising a child alone WITH a Mr. Amethsyt in the picture. At least, that is what a lot of my married friends with children have told me. When you say you don't want to do it 'alone', do you mean without a biological father figure in their lives or without a partner to help financially? I will tell you, as I approach my 30 birthday (for the 6th time), I am seriously considering doing it.

Comment: Very recently (August 19), The Chicago Tribune reported that Julius Carry, III, the actor who played one of the memorable characters from Black Cinema died of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 56. Carry, III is best remembered as the villain character Sho'Nuff from Berry Gordy's campy 'The Last Dragon', which made Taimak a celebrity and also starred singers Vanity and the group DeBarge. One of the best lines from the 1985 film was 'Who da mastah?' to which many answered 'Sho'nuff!' The Chicago native had a TV and film career that lasted almost three decades in which he landed a steady stream of acting job on TV shows including 'The Jeffersons,' 'Family Matters,' 'JAG' and 'The Unit.' Carry is survived by his wife, Naomi; a brother, Ronald; and his mother, the Rev. Helen Carry. Services are being arranged.

That's why I luvs y'all:-) >letmein, I'm not gonna 'hold her hand' but I WILL be there for her like I always am, of course. She says I treat her like a 'baby' even tho she's 17 and I'm tryna let her do more things on her own. If she REALLY wants to go away to school like she says she does, then she'll work harder and be more determined to find scholarships on her own. I've been making her make her own calls (to schools, and anything else business wise) so that she'll get used to articulating properly to people. When she threw the seniors a 'going back to school' party a few weeks ago, she was like "Momma, can you call the park to reserve our spot for me?" I said "Nope, you call 'em, here's the number". So, I'm letting her do stuff on her own so that she'll be prepared for adulthood. re: jheri curl, I 1st got my curl when I was 10. When I was 16, I called myself strippin' it out...I washed my hair, blow dried it and started curling it...after a while, my hair fell out so I just got a relaxer & a short haircut after that...

There are many women that yearn for children and unfortunately, Mr. Right just hasn't come along yet and they find themselves pushin' 40. I'm a product of a 2-parent home, so are my kids and these are the 'ideal' families. I am also a firm believer that kids need a father. However, at the same time, I see nothing wrong with two people mutually agreeing on producing a child together. If your friend agrees to do it and vows to be a part of this child's life, then I say go for it! I pray that everything works out for you sis:-)

I try my best to have will power, but most of the time I give in. I just have a few bites tho, I won't eat all of it. He'll have like a king size Snickers, bbq chips, and a soda. Then in the freezer, there are like 4 candy bars! I keep telling him to STOP, but he won't...DAMN HIM!

Comment: From YBF: I guess Ruben Studdard hasn’t been following the Wesley Snipes saga of getting caught up by Uncle Sam and the IRS folks. Ruben reportedly owes $200,000 in income taxes to both the state of Alabama and the feds. Splash News reports: According to court filings, the federal government and the state of Alabama have placed liens on all of Studdard’s property for unpaid income taxes in 2003 and 2005. Byron Perkins, a Birmingham lawyer for Studdard, told the Birmingham News that his client is in good shape financially and can afford to pay the bill. Developer John Elkington said he’s checking to find out if the liens on Studdard’s property will affect the singer’s promised six-figure investment in a planned downtown Birmingham club bearing Studdard’s name. The 29-year-old “Velvet Teddy Bear” was married in Birmingham in June to Sincerely Ward. He is set to release a new album later this year and is launching a national tour in the fall. And if he can set all this ish in motion he can for damn sure not get caught up for $200k.

Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid. Wine: He's hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image to help him get laid. Whiskey: He doesn't give a damn about anything but getting laid. Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress. White Zinfandel: He's gay.

Comment: Yeah, I'm not quite sold on Solange either yet. I understand she is trying to be different than Beyonce and I can respect that, but it is evident that her singing skills aren't the greatest. Her and Ray-J need to chill on the singing and try a different career. Just because big sis is a star doesn't mean you should automatically be one too.

Comment: here's one more for the men...IF MEN DRINK...(As always, very simple and clear cut.) Cider: He's probably under-aged and wants to get laid. Cheap Domestic Beer: He's poor/student and wants to get laid. Premium Local Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid. Imported Beer: He's old; he likes good beer and wants to get laid. Guinness: The man is a rapist and will get laid one way or another. Water: He just threw up and is trying to wash the taste out of his mouth so that he can still get laid. Wine: He's hoping that the wine thing will give him a sophisticated image and help him get laid. Vodka or Brandy: Extremely horny hound, would shag a warm scarf. Desperate to get laid. Port: Thinks he's sophisticated, secretly likes men and wants to get laid. Whisky: He doesn't give two $hits about anything and will hit anyone who will get in his way of getting laid. Jack Daniels: Not as masculine as the whisky drinker, knows all about feminine activities (knitting, crochet, etc.) to weasel himself into getting laid. Rum or Tequila: Likes fighting almost as much as getting laid. Bacardi Breezer, Red Square, Archers, Smirnoff Ice, etc.: He's gay (blatantly) - don't turn your back or pick up any dropped change.

Comment: An older cousin (around 60) was still rockin a jheri curl at our family reunion in July. I had major problems with my metabolism and cortisol levels a few years ago, which caused me to gain a lot of weight in a small period. Because I go to bed so late (the earliest is 1:00am) not eating after 7:00pm was harming me. My doctor said I was starving myself because I would be up at least another 6 hours. So, I eat light stuff at night, around 10:00-11:00. I follow the Weight Watchers plan, so I get in the minimum number of calories per day to make sure I lose weight.

Name: bigchassie
Comment: CALIRED/YELLY>i agree with you both. it seems to me that this woman is and has been hurt so deep she lashes out on the main thing that caused her hurt: black men. reading her posts i feel she may live by herself and she keeps to herself a lot and she has all this pent up anger inside of her and she blames it all on black men who are either mixed or knows of men that are in a relationship with a woman of another ethnicity. i think she was burned because of it. so she is throwing out all her venom on the black men of the world. she's a sad case.

Name: bigchassie
Comment: CALIRED>yeah, i think so too, and she is afraid to tell it. sometimes when someone is hurt so deeply to the core they try to protect their pain by lashing out on the object or person that they think caused their pain. eventhough they have never met that person or seen that object before. it's just like the white supremisits. they feel that the black man has hindered them from getting ahead so they go after them (or they are just plain evil period) also, it could be her upbringing too. interesting case, this chick.
