Comment: Hey everybody. A couple of comments. Why is RuPaul trying to channel Tyra and when did Wanda Sykes come out. I know there is a story on Eur, but here is a more amusing version that I found. Sunday, November 16th 2008
Wanda Sykes Loves The Ladies
I never really thought about if Wanda Sykes likes to suck on the peen or the clitty, but now that she's declared her gayelleness, everything makes sense now. I had one of those "now that you mention it...." moments.
Anygayelle, raise your strap-ons and rejoice through the aisles of Home Depot, Wanda Sykes is a big ole' lezzie! You can call her Wanda Dykes from now on! Sorry, it was the first thing I thought of. Yes, I'm eternally 12. Just like Mimi!
At the Las Vegas Prop 8 Really yesterday, Wanda shouted to the audinece, "I LOVE LICKIN' THE LABIA AND PROUD OF IT!" No, she really said, "You know, I don't really talk about my sexual orientation. I didn't feel like I had to. I was just living my life, not necessarily in the closet, but I was living my life. Everybody that knows me personally they know I'm gay. But that's the way people should be able to live their lives."
When Prop 8 passed in California, Wanda felt like she was attacked and so she's speaking out about her life now. "Now, I gotta get in their face. I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay." She forgot the "proud to be a funny person" part, because she stills makes me laugh until my peen hole queefs.
Wanda married her wife on October 25th. She was married to a dude back in the old days, but they divorced in 1998.
Go Wanda! I just want to give her a big lesbian hug (it involves lots of titties rubbing together)!

Comment: Just imagine how screwed up it would be to have cops out on the streets cracking down on dress code violations. It would look something like this, because it's already happening in Riviera Beach, Florida. Here's what Mr. Obama had to say about the matter:
"Here is my attitude: I think people passing a law against people wearing sagging pants is a waste of time. We should be focused on creating jobs, improving our schools, health care, dealing with the war in Iraq, and anybody, any public official, that is worrying about sagging pants probably needs to spend some time focusing on real problems out there. Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What's wrong with that? Come on. There are some issues that we face, that you don't have to pass a law, but that doesn't mean folks can't have some sense and some respect for other people and, you know, some people might not want to see your underwear - I'm one of them."

Comment: JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The target may be high-tech, but the emotion involved is as old as humanity. Spite, anger, and revenge. Police say that's what filled a woman's heart after she picked up the classified ads.
When Marie Cooley came across a job that looked like hers in the classifieds, she admits she was certain she was about to be fired.
So police say late Sunday night, she crept into the Mandarin office where she worked at Steven E. Hutchins Architects.
"She decided to go and mess up everything for everybody," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson.
Jefferson says Cooley accessed the company's server with her own account. And with a handful of mouse clicks and keystrokes, he says she deleted seven years' worth of architectural drawings.
Seven years of work -- gone in seconds.
The company put the value of the vaporized files at $2.5 million.
"She decided to be spiteful and go in and sabotage the records. And she did a very good job of that," Jefferson said.
According to police, Cooley confessed to the crime. It's a second degree felony that could lay the blueprints for a five-year prison sentence.
Folks at the architecture firm didn't want to talk on camera about the disastrous deletion.
The owner did tell First Coast News that he's paid good money to recover those files and he says he's now managed to get every deleted drawing back from its digital death.
"The lesson to be learned here is that you can't depend on having just one set of records or files and having your employees have access to them. You've got to have some kind of backup," Jefferson said.
And here's the most sobering part: the owner of the architecture firm says Marie Cooley was not going to be fired. He says the job listing was for his wife's business -- not his.

Comment: The students had been on the paddleboats earlier in the week and wanted one last adventure before their leadership retreat ended.
So 16 of the 31 high-achieving students chosen from a West Side charter school to attend the campground retreat in suburban Algonquin sneaked out of bed after 1 a.m. Friday to cross the Fox River, one of the students said.
But unbeknownst to them, the cork-sized plugs under the boats had been removed to prepare the boats for winter, and the seemingly harmless paddleboats began taking on water.
Soon, some of the North Lawndale College Prep High School students were in the fast-moving, 42-degree water. Others jumped in to save their friends, but three students drowned — even though all three could swim.
Jimmy Avant, 18, Melvin Choice III, 17, and Adrian Jones, 16, died in the mishap, leaving their families heartbroken, their classmates stunned and their school crushed.
Student Jonathan Miller, 16, said he was with the group that went to the river after midnight. "It was the last day so they wanted to do something," he said.
Authorities said six of the camp's seven two-seat paddleboats were taken out, but Miller only saw two in use. In one was Avant and Jones, who missed the previous boat trip and wanted a chance to go out, Miller said.
In another boat was Choice and two others, said Miller, who stayed on the shore because he can't swim.
Choice was the first to fall in. Avant jumped in to try to pull him to safety. Jones, who trained as a lifeguard, followed. The two teens on the boat with Choice paddled to shore and alerted the others, Miller said. "I went to go get help from the counselors," Miller said softly. "I can't believe it."
Avant's mother, Sharon Gowdy, said the late night ride was "kids being kids." Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District Battalion Chief John Greene called it "shenanigans."
North Lawndale Assistant Principal LaCael Palmer-Pratt called the victims "dynamic young men, which is why they were selected to participate in this program."
It was an eight-day school trip to Camp Algonquin, which is run by the YMCA of McHenry County. "The focus of the retreat was ethical leadership, training our young men to be ethical leaders," Principal Robert Karpinski said.
"They were the cream of the crop," Avant's mother said.
The teens had been told to stay away from the water, and their teachers likely were asleep when they took the boats, Greene said.

Comment: Some family members have questioned why the boats weren't chained down.
Miller said the tight-knit group rode a bus back to Chicago in near-silence. "Everybody was quiet and crying," he said.
When they reached the Lawndale Community Church to be picked up by their parents, they gathered in a circle in the church sanctuary. Modeling a technique they learned on the retreat, they passed around a "talking stick" and each student tearfully spoke about their lost friends, said Joseph Atkins, the church's associate pastor.
"They were speaking about the young men, and about stepping up," he said.
Crisis counselors were sent to the school, which dismissed students early on Friday.
"This is absolutely heartbreaking," said Chicago Public Schools spokesman Mike Vaughn.

Comment: Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "%*$assinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars.
Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America.
From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders.
There have been "hundreds" of incidents since the election, many more than usual, said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate crimes.
One was in Snellville, Ga., where Denene Millner said a boy on the school bus told her 9-year-old daughter the day after the election: "I hope Obama gets %*$assinated." That night, someone trashed her sister-in-law's front lawn, mangled the Obama lawn signs, and left two pizza boxes filled with human feces outside the front door, Millner said.
She described her emotions as a combination of anger and fear.

Comment: I can't say that every white person in Snellville is evil and anti-Obama and willing to desecrate my property because one or two idiots did it," said Millner, who is black. "But it definitely makes you look a little different at the people who you live with, and makes you wonder what they're capable of and what they're really thinking."
Potok, who is white, said he believes there is "a large subset of white people in this country who feel that they are losing everything they know, that the country their forefathers built has somehow been stolen from them."
Grant Griffin, a 46-year-old white Georgia native, expressed similar sentiments: "I believe our nation is ruined and has been for several decades and the election of Obama is merely the culmination of the change.
"If you had real change it would involve all the members of (Obama's) church being deported," he said.
Change in whatever form does not come easy, and a black president is "the most profound change in the field of race this country has experienced since the Civil War," said William Ferris, senior associate director of the Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina. "It's shaking the foundations on which the country has existed for centuries."
"Someone once said racism is like cancer," Ferris said. "It's never totally wiped out, it's in remission."
If so, America's remission lasted until the morning of Nov. 5.

Comment: The day after the vote hailed as a sign of a nation changed, black high school student Barbara Tyler of Marietta, Ga., said she heard hateful Obama comments from white students, and that teachers cut off discussion about Obama's victory.
Tyler spoke at a press conference by the Georgia chapter of the NAACP calling for a town hall meeting to address complaints from across the state about hostility and resentment. Another student, from a Covington middle school, said he was suspended for wearing an Obama shirt to school Nov. 5 after the principal told students not to wear political paraphernalia.
The student's mother, Eshe Riviears, said the principal told her: "Whether you like it or not, we're in the South, and there are a lot of people who are not happy with this decision."
Other incidents include:
_Four North Carolina State University students admitted writing anti-Obama comments in a tunnel designated for free speech expression, including one that said: "Let's shoot that (N-word) in the head." Obama has received more threats than any other president-elect, authorities say.
_At Standish, Maine, a sign inside the Oak Hill General Store read: "Osama Obama Shotgun Pool." Customers could sign up to bet $1 on a date when Obama would be killed. "Stabbing, shooting, roadside bombs, they all count," the sign said. At the bottom of the marker board was written "Let's hope someone wins."
_Racist graffiti was found in places including New York's Long Island, where two dozen cars were spray-painted; Kilgore, Texas, where the local high school and skate park were defaced; and the Los Angeles area, where swastikas, racial slurs and "Go Back To Africa" were spray painted on sidewalks, houses and cars.
_Second- and third-grade students on a school bus in Rexburg, Idaho, chanted "%*$assinate Obama," a district official said.

Comment: University of Alabama professor Marsha L. Houston said a poster of the Obama family was ripped off her office door. A replacement poster was defaced with a death threat and a racial slur. "It seems the election brought the racist rats out of the woodwork," Houston said.
_Black figures were hanged by nooses from trees on Mount Desert Island, Maine, the Bangor Daily News reported. The president of Baylor University in Waco, Texas said a rope found hanging from a campus tree was apparently an abandoned swing and not a noose.
_Crosses were burned in yards of Obama supporters in Hardwick, N.J., and Apolacan Township, Pa.
_A black teenager in New York City said he was attacked with a bat on election night by four white men who shouted 'Obama.'
_In the Pittsburgh suburb of Forest Hills, a black man said he found a note with a racial slur on his car windshield, saying "now that you voted for Obama, just watch out for your house."
Emotions are often raw after a hard-fought political campaign, but now those on the losing side have an easy target for their anger.
"The principle is very simple," said BJ Gallagher, a sociologist and co-author of the diversity book "A Peacock in the Land of Penguins." "If I can't hurt the person I'm angry at, then I'll vent my anger on a substitute, i.e., someone of the same race."
"We saw the same thing happen after the 9-11 attacks, as a wave of anti-Muslim violence swept the country. We saw it happen after the Rodney King verdict, when Los Angeles blacks erupted in rage at the injustice perpetrated by 'the white man.'"
"It's as stupid and ineffectual as kicking your dog when you've had a bad day at the office," Gallagher said. "But it happens a lot."

Comment: Can I just say that I love my President?!!! I don't know what that saggin' pants business came from, but it is and always has been some foolishment. My nephew (16) tries to pull that mess, but he is not allowed to go anywhere with me looking like that. My brothers have sense enough not to walk around like that either. I mean, I understand not wanting your pants to fit too tight (have you seen the guys in skinny jeans? Um, ew.), but you can get them to fit nicely w/o them hanging to your knees.

Comment: URBANA -- Authorities at the University of Illinois are trying to find out how a convicted sex offender came to be living inside a campus library.
University of Illinois Police Lt. Roy Acree says 21-year-old Eric J. Kaminski, who gave a Champaign address, was discovered early Thursday morning at the Undergraduate Library in Urbana.
Library security believes Kaminski had been living in the library behind movable bookshelves in the northeast corner of the building.
Acree says Kaminski had a folding knife with a 3-inch blade and a sex offender registration form in his possession when he was found.
He says Kaminski was convicted of a sex crime in Michigan, and court records show he was arrested by Champaign police and pleaded guilty in June to a felony charge of failure to register as a sex offender.
Acree told the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette that it is not uncommon for homeless people to use campus buildings.
"When the weather starts getting colder, they will start looking for shelter," Acree said. "It's a big campus with a lot of buildings with nooks and crannies. Homeless people will sleep overnight."

Comment: Michael Vick lives in a prison in Kansas, making 12 cents an hour while plotting his return to the NFL. His houses and farms will soon be gone, the two yachts are history, and he's down to his last couple of Range Rovers.
A race horse he bought for $60,000 died of colic, the Atlanta Falcons are still trying to hit him up for millions they paid him, and the IRS and the state of Georgia want nearly $1 million in back taxes.
In 2006 he made nearly $15 million. Recently he reported total income of $12.89 for an entire month.
That's $12.89 as in 12 dollars and 89 cents. This from someone who, before things went terribly bad, categorized a $1,000 check to his mother as "chump change."
The numbers are cold, but they have to warm the heart of any animal lover sickened by what once went on at Vick's Bad Newz Kennels. To many, seeing Vick stripped of the material things he and his fellow millionaire athletes like to enjoy is almost as good as watching him go to prison in the first place.
Best of all, the dogs who survived the terror of Vick's dogfighting ring are having the last laugh.
They're the stars of a recent National Geographic Channel television special. They live in comfort in a Utah ranch, thanks to $928,000 Vick agreed to contribute to finance their care.
And now they have their own wine.

Comment: Yes, there's Meryl, looking anything but ferocious on a bottle of Syrah. And there's Lewis, peeking out from the front of another Vicktory Dog bottle.
Maybe Vick can pick up a $40 bottle when he gets out of prison next July, assuming things go as planned. If he's careful about not spending his prison earnings in the commissary, he could be paroled with enough to buy a couple of them.
He shouldn't drink too much, though. Because he's still got some football to play.
Buried in the hundreds of pages of paper detailing Vick's financial woes the other day in federal bankruptcy court was the declaration that not only does Vick expect to be reinstated in the NFL upon his release but also believes he will "be able to earn a substantial living" playing quarterback once again.
Good luck with that.
Just what team he believes will employ him to do so wasn't mentioned, but the Falcons are surely out. They severed their ties with the quarterback they once were sure would lead them to a Super Bowl and are now being led by a quarterback who has been so good in his rookie season that he just might.
Vick is supposed to be released July 20, so he could be out just in time for the opening of preseason camps. But how many teams are so desperate for a quarterback that they would risk the ire of PETA-types and other animal activists to sign an ex-con who admitted to doing some heinous things?
The other question is how much would they risk for a quarterback who has a career passing rating of 75.7, fumbles the ball once every 10 times he carries it, and hasn't played a down in two years. Quarterbacks who could run were once the rage in the NFL, but most teams today look for the traditional pocket passer.
If a team did take a chance on Vick, it would likely be for little or no guaranteed money with incentives kicking in only if he produces—something that can never be certain in the NFL, where injuries and age can quickly take their toll. Even then, Vick won't keep all his salary because under his bankruptcy plan he must pay part of any future earnings to creditors.
Indeed, Vick's financial mess is as much a cautionary tale to his fellow athletes as his criminal woes are.

Comment: He has %*$ets of $16 million but owes creditors $20.3 million. His attorneys had to hire forensic accountants to find out where the money went, $18 million of it over the last two years alone as Vick bounced from one business deal to another and seemed to hire financial advisers he met standing in line at the supermarket.
Flush with bonus money from the Falcons, Vick bought houses by the handful, invested in a rental car franchise in Atlanta and poured money into a liquor store and restaurant. He hired friends, gave away money and cars, and could never say no to his mother, who got $700 for an Easter Egg hunt one year and $317,000 for a new church building the next.
Now he sits in a prison in Kansas after a staggering and quick fall from the top. Once a favorite of fans who couldn't buy enough of his No. 7 jerseys he's now vilified and hated by millions who will never forgive the despicable things he and his buddies did to their dogs.
A comeback is still possible, but my guess is that this story will not end well. Upon his release from prison, the odds are Vick will spend more time dodging creditors than defensive linemen.
The dogs are a different story. Those that survived will live in comfort the rest of their lives.
And for that, we should all raise a glass of Lewis red in celebration.

Comment: Damon Dash Don't Have A Pot To %*$! In
or a window to throw it out of.
This here dirt comes straight from the NY Daily News:
"I've worked with musicians, artists and entertainers that in the eyes of the media are very wealthy," said lawyer Jason Gabbard, who represented a fashion firm that settled a suit against Damon Dash and his wife over $148,505 in unpaid fees. "But to borrow a phrase from my Kentucky homeland, they haven't got a pot to %*$! in - they're broke."
A Manhattan judge this week ordered the city to seize Dash's Chevrolet Tahoe, since he wasn't making the $714.99 monthly payment on the leased SUV.
That October suit came on the heels of one in August, when Eastern Savings Bank foreclosed on the $7.3 million mortgage for two trendy Tribeca condos where the monthly $78,504.26 bill went unpaid for months.
Dash faces an outstanding $2.1 million tab with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, a $4,500 bill from the state for not paying workers' comp and a suit that says he stiffed the law firm that handled his child-custody case.
Dash even got dumped by another firm representing him in a $3.5 million suit against accountant-to-the-stars Barry Klarberg, who is accused of bungling his tax returns, costing him millions.

Comment: For DePaul junior Bobby Schrock, a 22-year-old political science major, joining a fraternity at the country's largest Catholic university has been a "very rewarding experience."
But Schrock is not your typical Greek. He is gay and one of a growing population on university campuses: gay members of a fraternity or sorority.
The ranks have grown so much that 85 members from universities around the country gathered this weekend at DePaul University, which hosted the first National Out and Greek Leadership Conference. Workshop sessions included topics relevant to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, such as violence on campus, how to break harmful hazing traditions and activism as it relates to policy change.
"This conference is more of an affirmation for me," Schrock said. "DePaul and my fraternity have never been anything but accepting."
In fact, although DePaul is the nation's largest Catholic university, "There was never a question about hosting the conference," said Shannon Greybar Milliken, DePaul's coordinator of fraternities and sororities. "DePaul is a university where these issues are supported and discussed."
The conference was sponsored by the Lambda 10 Project, an educational initiative of Campus Pride, a national organization of student leaders and campus organizations working to create safer, more LGBT-friendly campuses.
Even DePaul's president, the Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, took part, attending a session with other staff members entitled "Out at a Catholic University."

Comment: Good morning, family. Didn't know Wanda was in the closet. In the Philly metro area it isn't a secret. She and her partner are very out in the open. Anyway....Loved the interiew with the Obama's. Was cracking up when he got on Steve for talking about the dog and his mom-in-law in the same sentence. I would think that they've made more than enough money for Michelle to get braces if she wanted them. Maybe she likes her grill.

Comment: Lovely>> I didn't mean you said she was ugly. I feel you about the teeth cause that is something I look at when I meet people. It doesn't make any sense. I was so happy when 50 shaved his teeth down and closed the gap up. Michelle has a funny mouth too I can't put my finger on it but her mom and brother have it too. Someone on here said she had a thumbsucker mouth and thats the best way to explain it.

I mean it was like God just decided to pour a whole lot of everything in that man. He was immensely talented. I wonder if he was a little cuckoo because people with some many talents and that amount of intelligence are usually crazy. He looked good in that picture when he was young playing football.

Laura Bush showed some of the bed rooms in the white house. pretty...if you like that historic early american style of furniture. and of course they showed the Oval office. why did i envision Monica Lewensky underneath that desk? lol! but it is a beautiful and very grand office.

Comment: Hola! I love the Obamas. They are an excellent representation of Black people. They are down-to-earth, not pretention, not arrogant, and they have worked hard to get where they are and what they have. Their love for each other exudes through the TV screen. This shows America that Black folks DO get married, DO share love, DO respect one another. The scenes on the local news are NOT the true or only persona of Black people. I think Michelle has a slight underbite. She is an attractive woman, which comes from the physical as well as her intellect and personality.

Comment: My godmother was talking about how Barack checked Steve about talking about Mrs. Robinson and a dog in the same sentence. He told Steve "How well do you get along with your mother-in-law? Maybe I need to give you some tips." This is one of the (many) things I love about my new President: he's not a chump and will stand up for himself without being nasty and arrogant. He even made light of it and smiled, but he said what he had to say. The brotha is SMOOTH!! His control of his temperament was sharply displayed in the last debate, in contract to McCain getting riled up and aggressive. After the debate viewers commented that they would rather have Obama's temperament in a meeting with foreign leaders.

Comment: The revolution HAS BEEN televised!!! Some yt folks are hatin' because they know they've been low-down and evil for centuries and they are afraid a Black President will turn the tables. What they fail to learn from world history is that other cultures aren't evil, malicious and cold like them. Look at the change in South Africa. After apartheid the Blacks didn't mas-sacre whites in retaliation; instead they supported reconciliation and restoration. Also, the campaign and post-election periods are showing non-violent and non-racist white people how mean and evil some of their own group is. This has caused them to act against this type of behavior, that's why Obama won.

And Michelle is one of my sheroes. She is serious about her girls being the priority, the most admirable quality in any mother. Her career nor her husband's Presidency will come before what's best for her children.

I used the Wal-Mart Great Value brand hot sauce, that Frank's cost too doggone much! I normally use Texas Pete anyway, have never had Frank's. /Rayne - I don't think we have Roscoe's in the South, isn't it only in L.A. or Cali? The Gladys Knight and Ron Winans Chicken and Waffles in Atlanta is just okay, I rarely go there. It doesn't touch Roscoe's chicken and waffles. Rahway - Glad to know you are safe.

Comment: Three people have been charged with felony dogfighting after Cook County sheriff's police broke up a dogfight in progress during which one dog was so badly mauled it could barely stand, police said today.
A monthlong investigation couldn't prepare Cook County sheriff's police for the unsettling scene they say they found upon breaking up a dogfight Saturday night.
A severely mauled dog cowered in the corner, so injured it could barely stand. The makeshift ring was covered in blood. And 50 people--including two teenagers and a pregnant woman--were watching the dogs fight, police said.
"What we interrupted Saturday night was both disgusting and disturbing," said Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart said in a press release from the sheriff's office. "So many times, we hear about fights after the fact or find the discarded remains of a dog involved in one of these fights."
Donaver Jones, 38, of Riverdale, Melvin Trent, 37, of Joliet, and Timothy Norris, 35, also of Joliet, were charged Sunday with felony dogfighting for a match that took place in the basement of a home in the 500 block of West 66th Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood (map / crime search for this neighborhood), the Cook County Sheriff's Office said.
Another 50 people, including boys, 13 and 15, and the pregnant woman, were charged with attending a dogfight, a misdemeanor.
The arrests marked the first time the sheriff's police have busted a fight in progress.
Police swept into the basement about 10 p.m. Saturday night to find a bloodied 10-by-10-foot makeshift ring surrounded by 3-foot-high wooden boards smeared with blood, bites and scratches. The floor of the ring was covered with a red rug that police said was used to disguise blood.
Police found one dog crouching in the corner so badly injured that it had to be carried away on a stretcher, and authorities do not expect it to survive. The other dog was taken to a local shelter.
Officers confiscated a tackle box filled with steroids, amphetamines, syringes and an IV drip, all of which were allegedly used to keep the dogs aggressive and alive. They also found a staple gun used to close the dogs' wounds so they could keep fighting, as well as thick wooden stakes used to drive apart the dogs' jaws after they'd locked down on the other dog.
Police confiscated three 9mm handguns and towed two cars that had dog cages and fighting manuals inside, the sheriff's office said.
Police said the two dogs were bred and trained for fighting. They were hung from a scale attached to the basement ceiling and thrown into the ring. Police estimated the dogs had been fighting for about 15 minutes before officers arrived.
Police said the two children who witnessed the fight were released to their parents.

I am working on a segment for Friday, November 21 and I am looking for people to nominate their loved ones or themselves for a makeover.
If your brother, sister, best friend, etc is a self-proclaimed nerd or geek who you think could use a makeover, I would love to hear from you. Or if you were a ‘nerd/geek’ growing up and you have an upcoming reunion that you would like to wow your classmates with a new look- reply to this!
We will most likely do the makeovers on Wednesday, November 19. The nominee and candidate must be available for Wednesday and Friday.
The show will cover travel for out of town guests.
Email me or call 212.301.5372 for more information. Please attach a photo if you can and make sure to include a daytime contact number.
Best,

The fool did his sermon with a bed on the platform. Had some Wal-Mart looking sheets on it. And you know CNN just had to interview some suspect looking couple - black coffee brother and a Wendy looking 25/20 gal. SMDH.

Although John McCain ran a mean spirited contentious campaign, I submit that Hillaries campaign was way more mean spirited and waaaaaaaay more contentious than McCains. Listening to talk radio this morning a host said that BO was following Lincoln's strategy. Surround yourself with your enemies to silence them.

I was only here for a couple of hours before deciding to fly home a day early cause I don't want to end up wearing corduroys and turtlenecks like 95% of the people I've seen... Big ups to my Cali folks! It was great hanging out with yall on Saturday. Truly beautiful sistas--inside and out! BTW I think Michelle has some strong features, but because the Obama family can do no wrong in my opinion, she looks like Halle to me...

Comment: Alright, family, I am just scratching my head over here. I know it's probably wrong and I will pray for forgiveness, but I can't help it. First, you're gonna have an online reality show to find your next wife, and then you get evicted from your property? It is said that he had almost 4,000 members when he was married to Juanita Bynum. He has 250 now. Can this fellow just go to his corner with his Bible and be still? From My Fox Atlanta: ATLANTA (AP) -- The ex-husband of televangelist Juanita Bynum -- Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III -- had to relocate services after his Duluth church was evicted.
Attorney Stephanie Friese of Grimes-Square Executive, Inc., says Weeks, the leader of Global Destiny International Ministries, hasn't made any payments at all since July despite negotiations with the landlord. She says Weeks owes more than $400,000 in rent and fees.
Eviction proceedings began against Weeks in early October. Court records show that Weeks tried unsuccessfully to delay the eviction.
A sheriff's deputy came to the church campus Friday to carry out the eviction. The campus includes business offices and a church.
Weeks' divorce attorney Randy Kessler says he was unaware of the eviction, but predicts Weeks will "land on his feet if that is indeed the case."

Comment: Bigchassie I bought that shoe years ago at sanders furniture, a local furniture store. I love shoes and saw this shoe chair and had to have it. It wont go with my decor, so it is going upstairs in the guest room. I am going to paint the walls in that room mocha so the chair will accent nicely. I am also going to make my own headboard.

Comment: This is from Sandrarose. Sad, funny and maybe even understandable. This is why I dont work with children. I might have this reaction: A Dallas county bus driver is in a little hot water for choking an out of control student on her bus.
Janet Pitts vented her frustration at the child by choking him. “He threw a can up here. I got up and choked the sh*t out his %*$!,” said Pitts.
The child is mentally challenged and bi-polar.
Dale Kiser with the National Education Association says don’t blame the bus driver for her actions: “it’s been stated, documented, everything else that there always should have been a monitor with this particular student on that bus,” he said.
According to the special education department, a monitor should be on board the bus at all times with the boy due to his violent nature.
Thanks to loyal reader Laa’Iqa for the tip! Laa’Iqa says: “Interesting how he stops once she shows him she’s the bigger fool.”

Comment: Misscharli - As much as I love Dreamgirls, Jennifer Holiday, and Jennifer Hudson, I have never agreed with the famous song. I'm not begging a man to let me stay with him, and I'm not going to hang around when a man tells or shows me that he doesn't want me anymore. Yes, it hurts; yes, you cry, curse, scream, drink 50 gallons of alcohol, go on an eating binge, whatever; but not anywhere near him. Fortunately, when I've been in those situations I was strong enough to not pick up the phone and call. Either a man wants to be with you, or he doesn't.

Comment: Cali - We have a friend who dresses so boogie! I don't think anything has been purchased since 1982! Her hair ain't together, she uses cheap makeup and puts the round red rouge circles on her face, dresses from head to toe in one color, etc. We were saying yesterday we'd like to surprise her with a makeover but she'd probably hate all of us. We try to say something from time to time, a couple of weeks ago she went off on a group of us, so I'm resigned to let her do her. She's a nice looking woman and a wonderful person. She just looks a country mess all the time!!

BTW - She's from Tennessee, ha ha ha. She was dating a guy up there for a while. He messed up and now wants to get back with her. He is good-looking and dressed fine from the one time I met him and pictures I've seen. Maybe if they would have stayed together he would have shopped for her.

I mean REAL immediate family. Can't talk them out of it. I offered to buy them new stuff, keep them stocked AND pay them not to do it, and they STILL won't bite.
