Mike Brown, Cleveland Cavs coach is the definition of cold-blooded as he fails to play Big Z

Coach Mike Brown and Homer share the same cat scan

Coaching is a very touchy subject.  There is no right way to do it.  As long as you bring wins to the franchise, then you are doing a good job.  You can go outside the bounds of decency as a coach to get those wins.  Woody Hayes is the shining example of a coach going too far.

right, left, right, left they toothless and people say G*dd@mn they ruthless... The original gangster Woody Hayes

The video of the event is shocking as well.  Look at how he winds up to land the blow…

As someone who walks both sides of the line, the job is not easy.  On the high school level, you can have (thankfully this year I don’t) parents in your ear about who to play, or the Athletic Director.  On the varsity, we give suggestions to the JV coach on who and what we want to have develop.  But, as a coach, you go with your gut and your experience.  The News-Herald explains.

Cavaliers coach Mike Brown often governs with his gut.

He makes important decisions by how he feels in the pit of his stomach.

It’s an art form.  There cannot be only one way to accomplish your goal. As a fan, we have the right to criticize the maneuvers of  the coach.  Mike Brown of the Cavs deserves a heaping pile of scorn right now, for not playing Zydrunas Ilgauskas.  The News-Herald continues…

Brown’s decision to bench Zydrunas Ilgauskas on Saturday didn’t go over well with the 7-foot-3 center, his teammates, his agent and many of the fans.

It was supposed to be Ilgauskas’ big night.

Ilgauskas, 34, came into Saturday’s game against Dallas tied with Cavs general manager Danny Ferry with 723 games played, first in franchise history.

Everything was set for the Cavs to honor the major accomplishment. However, Brown inexplicably saddled Ilgauskas with what is thought to be his first “DNP-CD” of his career.

Arguably, this guy has been one of the three best centers your franchise has ever had and this is the way the guy goes out?  It took LeBron to put into words what most people who knew about the record was thinking.

LeBron James, though, had the clout to say what needed to be said.

But why didn’t Brown?

“After having a little bit of time to think about it, me personally, I definitely thought he should have played,” James said. “I’m not trying to stir up anything with Coach. I don’t know who made the call.

“One game is a smaller thing. What was on the line (on Saturday) was way bigger than us playing the Mavericks. That was Z breaking the record to become the franchise leader in games played.”

Ilgauskas reportedly was steamed about Brown’s blunder.

“I think it’s a sensitive subject,” James said. “I’m not one to raise havoc in the locker room, but for me, I speak the truth. As a friend of his, I was very upset, and I know he was also.

“I stand behind Z on whatever he feels.”

Coach Mike, less is more. This is a lesson learned from Tiger...

The bigger problem that I have is that the coach really doesn’t understand that he has made a mistake.  Lets look at his statements after the game.

Brown, though, needs to have a sitdown with Ilgauskas.

“We haven’t sat down and talked face-to-face,” Brown said. “It may come to that.”

Brown said if he had it to do over again, “I’d try to play him.

This is the first clue that he really has no understanding about his team or about the record that was about to be set.  Why would you TRY to play him?  You would JUST PLAY HIM!  Even LBJ had a decent suggestion about the way to work it.

James said one way Brown could have handled the situation was to start Ilgauskas against the Mavs and then substitute for him a minute or two into the game.

That way, he could have gotten a standing ovation from the fans and the Cavs could have honored him with a plaque.

“There were a number of ways for that to be accomplished,” James said. “It could have been done.”

EXACTLY!  It could have been done, but I don’t think that the coach really sees it that way.  He is so caught up in the winning aspect that he fails to see his players as anything but soldiers that can be sacrificed for the greater good.  You burn out your players, you will have nothing to fall back on when you really need it.  The coaches justification continues…

“He was on the minutes’ sheet to play his normal 20 to 25 minutes. They went small, and the team that was out there played well. I stuck with it.

“It wasn’t planned. It just happened. There was nothing for me to say. It was based on matchups and the course of the game. You can call it a mistake or a coach’s decision.”

I think that it is pretty clear that is was a mistake.

Brown said he’s handled his players well since he’s been with the Cavs.

“I’ve done a decent job of treating guys right,” he said. “Maybe in a lot of guys’ minds, I didn’t this time. I don’t know. That’s part of being a head coach.”

Being a head coach is about being a leader of men (or in my case a leader of women) and being someone that they look to when the times are rough.  last night, in our scrimmage, we came out flat and we were down at the half.  It took a rousing halftime by the women to get their heads on right and the trust in the coaching staff to get the game back.  We went on a 16-7 run and ended up winning.  You have to have trust and I don’t think that Mike Brown has it.  When your BEST player says that you did someone dirty, it’s because you most likely did someone dirty.  Own up to the mistake and make it right.  Everything else are just excuses that keep the problem alive.

There was an opportunity for Ilgauskas to play at the end of the game, but Brown didn’t want to disrespect the center.

“That’s when you start battling yourself,” he said.

Why do you care?  Either the matchups were are weren’t there.  Either you wanted to respect him (then you should of played him to get the record and the adulation of the fans) or you didn’t care about his feelings (in which case you should have thrown him in there as well)  This would have gone away had you met with the players and told them of your sub pattern (since you should have figured that they might go small) and just played him early and gotten it out of the way.

You better hope that this doesn’t lead to a mutiny, because management usually sides with the players, especially if you are LBJ, in a walk year.  For this, Coach Mike, you are the hater of the week!

What comes around, goes around….Valley Swim Club files for Bankruptcy on the heels of denying entry to Blacks

and keeping out blacks even earlier!

Karma is a straight up B!%#h, isn’t it?

A suburban swim club accused of discrimination last summer after revoking the memberships of mostly black and Hispanic children plans to declare bankruptcy, a newspaper reported Saturday.

Valley Swim Club president John Duesler sent an e-mail to club “friends and families” Friday saying the board of directors had voted to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy this week, The Philadelphia Daily News reported.

Duesler wrote in the e-mail that many would blame the

Meet Kordeza Zhelyazkova, who at 11 is married and a Mother in Bulgaria….what is the world coming to?

I really don’t have much to say about this one…actually I do and when I have to say, ” What in the hell is this world coming to?” then you know it is bad.

An 11-year-old girl became one of the world’s youngest mothers – and went into labour on the way to her wedding.

Kordeza Zhelyazkova, from Sliven in Bulgaria, was still wearing her wedding dress and tiara as she was rushed to hospital, where she gave birth to 5lb 8oz Violeta.

Proudly displaying her baby, she told reporters: ‘I’m not going to play with toys any more – I have a new toy now.’

My new toy: Korteza Zhelyazkova, 11, shows off her baby Violeta – the 19-year-old father is facing six years in jail for having sex with a minor.This is the thing that is wrong with parenting.  Now,  I believe that you should have to have a license to have a kid now.  You should have to pass a test and go to some parenting classes.  A child is not a toy.

Kordeza – who fell pregnant within two weeks of her 11th birthday – spent the night in hospital with Violeta and then headed back to church for her wedding with 19-year-old Jeliazko Dimitrov.

Kordeza told the News of the World: ‘It feels strange to be a mum and have a baby.

‘I used to play with my toys but now she is my new toy.

‘She is so beautiful, I love her. Violeta is the child and I must grow up. I am not going back to school – I am a mother now.’

See….that is the silliest and most naive thing that could have come out of her mouth.  What skill set do you have that can earn money for your family?  Don’t you know that you don’t have to stay at home and raise a family?  You were going to school to better yourself.  You have a chance to NOT be dependent on the system for your survival.  Don’t become another welfare mom.

The couple met when Jeliazko rescued Kordeza from bullies in the playground.

However he now faces six years in jail for having sex with a minor, telling the paper his fears when he found out Kordeza was pregnant.

He said: ‘I was really scared.

‘We didn’t plan to have sex or a baby although I fell in love with Kordeza the moment I saw her.

Don’t worry Jeliazko, someone is going to fall in love with you at first site too.

You will be the bell of the ball....good luck to the new Ms. Jeliazko Dimitrov

Plus, what were you doing hanging out at the playground?  That alone seems pretty creepy, like Herbert.

Herbert the pervert is what to think about when you think about this union...

He added: ‘I was walking past the school when I saw some boys mocking her and I told them to leave her alone.

‘Then she arranged to meet me and asked me out on our first date. I thought she was 15. She didn’t tell me she was 11.’

Kordeza added: ‘I didn’t want to say in case he wouldn’t fancy me.’

Their daughter was conceived within a week of their meeting.

Kordeza said: ‘I didn’t know I was pregnant until my grandmother saw I had put on weight. I just thought I’d eaten too many burgers.’

Her grandmother Dida, 55, said: ‘It’s normal for our girls to have babies young. It’s our tradition. But I didn’t want it for my Kordeza – I felt she was too young.’

The family planned a three-day Roma wedding for October 22 – so Kordeza and Jeliazko could be married before the baby was born.

But Kordeza went into labour a week early, on the second day of the ceremony.

She said: ‘I had been having pain in the morning and a couple of hours into the wedding it got worse.’

She was rushed to hospital and gave birth 20 minutes later.

Kordeza said: ‘It was quite easy but painful too. I was very happy when I saw her. She has a nose like me and hair like Jeliazko.’

Both grandmothers will be guardians of baby Violeta, and Kordeza and her daughter will receive £70 a month in state benefits.

The age of consent in Bulgaria is 14.

The whole story is just shocking to the mind.  The fact that the parents are so blaze about it and I am up in arms has me a little worried…

Tufts University BANS SEX in your dorm room while your roommate is there…

Quit being so selective and I am sure you will find someone who will help butter your biscuits....Maybe it's the sour look on your face that prevents someone coming up to you and wanting to make out with you....

Really?  They have to make a rule about it?  What if I am just going to hit it softly and not bother anyone?

This reminds me of a local rap group that helped Tupac get some shine early in his career, Digital Underground and their song, “Freaks of the Industry”

The main part of the song that reminds me of college is this one. It is also the reason that I never lived in the dorms.  Ever.  Period.  Gotta become my own man.

Say you’re G’in’ [G'in'?]
Nobody else is seein’
And the freak that you’re wit’ is in front of you,
Bendin’ over naked, and she’s leanin’ on the dresser [Ooh yeah]
You’re lookin’ at her from the rear [Yeah]
She looks just like Vanessa [The right stuff]

Wow, and she really got better with age if that is possible.

Uh uh, not Vanessa with the singer career,

Lamar Odom is getting neutered and emasculated for the wedding: HOW NOT to be a player…Where is Bill Bellemy when you need him? (once again AVOID SIDE PIECES! They are bad for you health…)

Damn that Henny got ni$@@as making bad decisions, like Kayne

R.I.P. Steve McNair, but this is bigger than the loss of a good man and a better QB. You are getting played bro, and you only have a few more days to come to your senses.  We tried to warn you earlier, but you didn’t listen, so we will try this again.

Kim and Khloe at Australian Fashion show. Look at Khloe's face. That is the one that you will be waking up to every day....(except when you are on the road and you have your other jumpoffs, or by yourself, which you will come to enjoy....

I really don’t care that you are marrying Chyna. That is your business. But, I want you to remember that she has a thing for Black athletes. Maybe she wants to outdo Kim and have a man that actually can win something as a pro. You qualify.

Look at the Donald. He went broke, got rich again and didn't have to give out his stacks....

Not to have a prenuptial for a woman that you have only recently starting dating is a recipe for disaster. Do not forget that you are in CA, which means your sh!t is now her sh!t now too. E! Magazine tells the story of how Lamar Odom got emasculated.

Remember, you are not too far from this EVERYDAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

Khloé Kardashian has nothing to worry about.

Even at his bachelor party last night, Laker Lamar Odom was on his best behavior with his best bros.

While he decided to cancel the big bash at Les Deux that was originally planned, he opted for a small dinner party at STK with Joe Francis, Rob Kardashian, Scott Disick (aka Kourtney Kardashian’s baby daddy), fellow Lakers Ron Artest, Sasha Vujacic, Josh Powell and D.J. Mbenga.

Kobe stood you up? It’s because he knows you are making a mistake. For all that everyone says about Kobe, at least he has a family and his wife seems to be in charge of the family while Kobe is ballin outta control.

Say what you want about Vanessa, but the marriage is lasting hopefully NOT because of the fact that he is still playing and she has hella free time...Plus, look how cute she is. Marrying Chyna is not a good look for a Laker player in LA. That's not what a player would do

Lamar’s crew was even joined by some Clippers, including Baron Davis, Marcus Camby and rookie Blake Griffin, who just happened to be having their own party at the club.

Of course they came to the party, because they want to hang out with winners.  You had the B team at your celebration.

Joe, Scott and Rob held court at a table in the main dining room, while Lamar mostly mingled with his basketball boys in the bar area.

Despite one pretty partyer who approached him, Lamar showed little interest in any ladies. Girls were even banned from their booths at Guys & Dolls later in the night. Way to regulate!

See? This is what I mean. You had Joe F. ready to throw you a huge blowout with strippers, hookers and…well what else do you want? Kobe and more of the Lakers might have shown up for the party if it was this type of party.

They like cars and I bet they like basketball

Or since he is Joe Francis of “Girls GOne Wild” maybe a party like this…

now that is the type of party I'm talking about

The only complaint guests might have?

Lamar was tardy to his own party! Teammate Derek Fisher showed at STK at 9 p.m. and waited for Lamar for an hour before ditching to head home to his wife and kids.

Before he left, though, Fisher said he planned to get Odom a whopper of a wedding present: “How about another [NBA championship] ring!”

After dinner, Lamar, Rob, Scott and some Lakers who stayed headed over to Guys & Dolls, where Ron made a toast to his teammate. The guys drank magnums of Ace of Spades champagne.

Lamar was in great spirits, dancing and taking photos with fans. Before calling it a night, he requested Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s “Bonnie and Clyde,” perhaps as a tribute to himself and the bride-to-be.

Another reason why I dislike what you are doing Lamar. Really? At least play the damn original with Tupac. The damn song is about gun love and Jay f’ed up the whole song. Listen to the REAL song.

Although there was a fight that broke out while the boys were inside partying, a source says they weren’t involved.

Remember that other fight that went down at Guys, between Jayde Nicole and Joe Francis?

Speaking of that lawsuit-inducing spat, Jayde’s boyfriend and defender, Brody Jenner, happens to be Khloé’s stepbrother, who wasn’t spotted at the bachelor party last night.

Since Joe threw the party last night, we’re assuming he’s invited to the wedding. And we know Brody’s attending.

The people making the seating chart should have their work cut out for them.

Then you got put on blast by your jump-off. I have Bossip to thank for the letter and funny picture.

Really? LO, you can do much better

IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING A CIRCUS UNFOLD. NOW THAT KHLOE KARDASHIAN HAS ANNOUNCED THE WEDDING, I CAN NO LONGER BE QUIET.
I HAVE BEEN WITH LAMAR FOR YEARS. YES WE F*CK. YES HE PAYS MY BILLS. YES…… I HAVE AN APARTMENT. YES HE HAS BOUGHT ME A CAR. YES I WAS WITH HIM EVEN WHEN HE WAS WITH HIS BABY MAMA. SOME PEOPLE CALL ME A JUMP OFF. I KNOW WE HAVE A CONNECTION. I HAVE NOT TALKED TO HIM IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT HE WILL BE BACK. HE ALWAYS COMES BACK.

Yes, you are a jump-off. You give him the freedom to roam like a free safety on Sunday.

I SEE THAT THE KARDASHIANS HAVE MANIPULATED THIS SITUATION, MADE THIS A FAIRYTALE.

LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

LAMAR ODOM IS A DOG. HE CANNOT BE FAITHFUL TO ONE WOMAN. PERIOD. HE WILL WAKE UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND WILL REALIZE HE HAS F*CKED HIMSELF. LAMAR IS UNSTABLE. LAMAR IS BIPOLAR. LAMAR HAS GIRLS IN EVERY CITY. KHLOE AND HER FAMILY MAY THINK THEY HAVE STRUCK GOLD – BUT WHEN HE TRAVELS DURING THE SEASON, HE WILL F*CK AROUND. HE HAS F*CKED HER FRIENDS BEFORE THEY EVEN MET. I KNOW MY SITUATION AND I DEAL WITH IT, BUT I AM NOT OKAY WITH THE KARDASHIANS PRETENDING HE IS SOMETHING HE IS NOT.

I DO NOT LIKE HIS BABY MAMA, LIZA. BUT I KNOW HE DID HER DIRTY. WHEN HIS SON PASSED AWAY, HE WASN’T WITH HER. HE WAS WITH ME. HE DOESN’T SPEND TIME WITH THE KIDS. DOES NOT PAY CHILD SUPPORT. OBVIOUSLY, HE HAS LOST HIS MIND BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE THAT THE KIDS ARE IN SHOCK. WILL NOT ATTEND THEIR OWN DAD’S WEDDING. HE IS RUINING HIS FAMILY AND HIS CHILDREN’S LIVES FOR THIS TRICK NAMED KHLOE. NBA AND NFL D*CK HAS RAN THROUGH THAT. SIX DEGREES OF KHLOE KARDASHIAN. LOOK AT THEIR GOLD DIGGING MOTHER. SHE WHORES OUT HER OWN CHILDREN. I HEAR FROM HIS PEOPLE THAT THERE IS NO PRENUP. WHAT AN IDIOT. I HOPE HE IS BROKE FROM THIS. BETTER BELIEVE I WILL MAKE SURE I CASH OUT BEFORE ALL OF IT IS GONE. HE DID SIGN A HUGE CONTRACT, AFTER ALL.

Damn, Lamar, I didn't know you were this naive...

HIS FAMILY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM. HE IS TURNING HIS BACK ON HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. PUT IT LIKE THIS, IF YOU ARE BROKE AND BLACK – YOU ARE NO LONGER IN HIS LIFE. TRUE LOVE MY @SS. TAKE NOTE HOW NO BLACK PEOPLE WILL BE THERE. MAYBE A SPRINKLE OF THE ACCEPTABLE ONES THAT KRIS APPROVES OF.

LO, how are you just going to get your business out in the street? Even if the “wedding” is just a stunt for the failing ratings of the show, you are put on front street as a clown. STEP YOUR GAME UP! You are better than this!

Just remember this…not in order, although he was the last one soaking up your fiancees panties….

Khloe, and Derek Ward, RB

that was this year…

This was in MAY OF not 08, but yes of 2009

Then there was Rashad McCants, who more than likely beat the brakes off the box.  But, that might have started her desire for basketball players.  He is kinda scrubby, so you won’t have to worry about him talking about her on the court.

He was killing it for awhile...

I am not saying that you have to throw on a chastity belt and quit dating, but you should not have the next man’s seed in your shorts going to the next date, like you are Katelyn Faber…

Don’t take it from me, go here to see the merry-go-round.

Research shows that spanking your children will LOWER their IQ!

This will hurt me more than it will hurt you....no, I am just lying...it's going to hurt you more...a lot more.

Then Ronin and I should be challenging Stephen Hawking or Nobel winners, because we used to get the holy hell beat outta us.  Now, most of the time, we had to do something really horrible to deserve more than the usual grounding or sensory deprivation (taking TV, phone, sports away) but that didn’t take the pain out of the beatdown on the backside.  Normally, this would be the part that I would rail about kids today being soft and parents not taking control.  The studies would say otherwise.

Children who are spanked have lower IQs

Physical punishment slows kids’ intellectual growth, researcher says

By Jeanna Bryner

updated 1 hour, 31 minutes ago// <![CDATA[//

Spanking can get kids to behave in a hurry, but new research suggests it can do more harm than good to their noggins. The study, involving hundreds of U.S. children, showed the more a child was spanked, the lower his or her IQ compared with others.

"All parents want smart children," said study researcher Murray Straus of the University of New Hampshire. "This research shows that avoiding spanking and correcting misbehavior in other ways can help that happen."

but you would call the police on me for this too, right? I can't win...

The problem with this is CAN….not will.  The methodology of any study like this I always call into question because the methods that they are talking about to quell dissent don’t work in the hood.  Timeout is not really going to control some unruly kids. (Just watch the first 1.40 or so to get the point)

One might ask, however, whether children who are spanked tend to come from backgrounds in which education opportunities are less or inherited intelligence lower.

But while the results only show an association between spanking and intelligence, Straus says his methodology and the fact that he took into account other factors that could be at play (such as parents’ socioeconomic status) make a good case for a causal link.

“You can’t say it proves it, but I think it rules out so many other alternatives; I am convinced that spanking does cause a slowdown in a child’s development of mental abilities,” Straus told LiveScience.

You have been a VERY bad girl...

EXACTLY! I don’t care if you are convinced, I care about what you can prove.  So, this proves nothing to me.  Spanking your kid MIGHT BE NECESSARY, and I can’t prove it, but I an convinced that spanking controls your child and gives them muscle memory to remember NOT to do the behavior that got them the beatdown in the first place.  Spanking shouldn’t be the first thing that you default to, nor the only thing….but it needs to be in your toolbelt of solutions…

Vince Young steps up for Steve McNair’s kids….this is why I rep BLACK QB’s!

Vince celebrating....and the way we should celebrate hom now, even if you are a Trojan fan...

Vince,

All people want to hear about is your failures.  I want to big up you for your actions…It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day matters in your own personal life.  Vince, your personal life has been in the news too much.

Shirtless, sweaty with a bunch of dudes throwing back the bottle of Patron is not a good look Vince...

Lord knows you have problems.  Remember when people thought that you were suicidal?

Don't let the stress of life and work get to you....

It was just work….and you were eating wings.  Just because you don’t have your phone, people got spooked.  This became another story that people fed on.  You might even state that it is the curse of this…

At least you got paid for this.....I have it for the 360 too...

But, like any normal black man, you persevered. You are still getting paid and the racist formerly known as Kerry Collins will either say something that we get him mangled, or will just get old.  You will be a starting QB in the league again, if not for the Titans, then another team.

People are not talking about Steve McNair anymore.  (except us) We use this tragic loss of life to get advice to others, including President Obama. They should talk about him more….he did a ton to help the communities that where he lived.  Once the story died and people moved on, there was still his family to think about.  They lost a father and a provider.

Vince, if only for a day, good job stepping in…

Thursday, September 17, 2009 Young surprises McNair’s sons

---

ESPN.com news services For one day at least, Vince Young stepped up to try to fill the void for the late Steve McNair’s two young sons, the Tennessean reported Thursday. Young surprised 11-year-old Trenton and 5-year-old Tyler on Wednesday by showing up at their house and taking them to their school’s “Dear Dads Breakfast” at a local restaurant.

“ Those are my boys. I wouldn’t say it was to pay anyone back; it was just out of love. Steve would do it for me. He pretty much did it for me when I was growing up. I have a history with the boys and I want to do anything I can. I am their big brother. ” – Vince Young

“Those are my boys,” Young told the Tennessean. “I wouldn’t say it was to pay anyone back; it was just out of love. Steve would do it for me. He pretty much did it for me when I was growing up. I have a history with the boys and I want to do anything I can. I am their big brother.” Julie Dilworth, admissions director at St. Paul Christian Academy, lauded Young’s actions. “It was a great, great gesture,” Dilworth told the Tennessean. “All the kids had been talking about the dads’ breakfast and [Trenton and Tyler] were wondering what was going to happen with them. “They were thrilled … the boys came to school with huge smiles on their faces.” Young had a close relationship with Steve McNair, even before the latter was drafted by the Titans four years ago. He attended McNair’s football camps when he was young. McNair was shot and killed July 4. Besides being there for McNair’s sons, Young gave other kids at the school jerseys and autographs. “It was a surprise, and just to see the excitement on their faces, it’s a great feeling,” Young told the Tennessean. “We had a good time eating pancakes. I had an omelet. “Overall they are doing cool, doing good. Just talking to their mom, I think they are going to be all right. I am always going to be here for them, always.” McNair also had two older teenage sons.

I see you Vince and I know it was out of love. The same love he showed you coming into the league.

Just like black actors, black QB’s have to stick together. Who will be the one to reach out to Nate Davis?

Tongue in, you are not Jordan...

Why I am down with former President Jimmy Carter…He publicly rebukes Congressman Joe Wilson’s comments and calls out a racist…

See....that IS THE POINT! It's the caricature that is the problem...why do they have to use Obama to sell your pancakes? If nothing else, have some respect for the man who is the pres...This is not all about race either. But, ask yourself...DO they have McCain cakes, or something else?

Race matters and President Carter realizes it.

We see that you care President Carter....Your hard work will be remembered long after we all are gone.

This is a story that is being hidden in the press, not really getting coverage after Kayne and other topics.  Heck, we didn’t blog about it under now.  But, with Carter coming out with a strongly worded statement, it inspired us to make a statement.

Jimmy Carter: Wilson Comments ‘Based on Racism’

Former President Carter: Congressman’s outburst to Obama ‘based on racism,’ ‘dastardly’

By GREG BLUESTEIN

The Associated Press

ATLANTA

At least someone was not afraid to say it….

Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst to President Barack Obama during a speech to Congress last week was an act “based on racism” and rooted in fears of a black president.

“I think it’s based on racism,” Carter said in response to an audience question at a town hall held at his presidential center in Atlanta. “There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.”

We all remember this crap that was happening during the election.  Remember this shirt? If people can equate a candidate with a chimp, then you know they are still thinking those things now that he is the president.

The Georgia Democrat said the outburst was a part of a disturbing trend directed at the president that has included demonstrators equating Obama to Nazi leaders.

“Those kind of things are not just casual outcomes of a sincere debate on whether we should have a national program on health care,” he said. “It’s deeper than that.”

Of course it is deeper than just the president, as he is only one man.  This pattern of racism is .

Wilson, a South Carolina Republican, was formally rebuked Tuesday in a House vote for shouting “You lie!” during Obama’s speech to Congress last Wednesday.

The shout came after the president commented that illegal aliens would be ineligible for federal subsidies to buy health insurance. Republicans expressed their disbelief with sounds of disapproval, punctuated by Wilson’s outburst.

You are going to have to pay to get your foot out, since your coverage doesn't pay for footinmouth disease...

Tuesday’s rebuke was a rare resolution of disapproval pushed through by Democrats who insisted that Wilson had violated basic rules of decorum and civility. Republicans characterized the measure as a witch hunt and Wilson, who had already apologized to Obama, insisted he owed the House no apology.

You disregarded the rules of your office.  You need to apologize for your outlandish behavior.

Wilson’s spokesman was not immediately available for comment, but his eldest son defended his father.

“There is not a racist bone in my dad’s body,” said Alan Wilson, an Iraq veteran who is running for state attorney general. “He doesn’t even laugh at distasteful jokes. I won’t comment on former President Carter, because I don’t know President Carter. But I know my dad, and it’s just not in him.”

“It’s unfortunate people make that jump. People can disagree — and appropriately disagree — on issues of substance, but when they make the jump to race it’s absolutely ludicrous. My brothers and I were raised by our parents to respect everyone regardless of background or race.”

What more can you say?  The kid handled it as well as possible, since we really can’t expect him to jump up and say, “My dad is a racist!”  It would have been novel, but we couldn’t expect it.

South Carolina’s former Democratic Party chairman said that he doesn’t believe Wilson was motivated by racism, but said the outburst encouraged racist views.

“I think Joe’s conduct was asinine, but I think it would be asinine no matter what the color of the president,” said Dick Harpootlian, who has known Wilson for decades. “I don’t think Joe’s outburst was caused by President Obama being African-American. I think it was caused by no filter being between his brain and his mouth.”

Harpootlian said he received scores of racial e-mails from outside South Carolina after he talked about the vote on Fox News.

“You have a bunch of folks out there looking for some comfort in their racial issues. They have a problem with an African-American president,” he said. “But was he motivated by that? I don’t think so. I respectfully disagree with President Carter, though it gives validity to racism.”

Carter called Wilson’s comment “dastardly” and an aftershock of racist views that have permeated American politics for decades.

“The president is not only the head of government, he is the head of state,” he said. “And no matter who he is or how much we disagree with his policies, the president should be treated with respect.”

Other people make the racist connection as well.

Laugh now, hang em later is this gentlemans motto

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote in her column Sunday that Wilson’s outburst convinced her that racial angst is the underlying motive among Obama critics like Wilson.

“I’ve been loath to admit that the shrieking lunacy of the summer … had much to do with race,” she wrote. “But Wilson’s shocking disrespect for the office of the president — no Democrat ever shouted ‘liar’ at W. when he was hawking a fake case for war in Iraq — convinced me: Some people just can’t believe a black man is president and will never accept it.”

Dowd wrote that Wilson “clearly did not like being lectured and even rebuked by the brainy black president presiding over the majestic chamber.”

The shuffling and jiving days are over! Unfortunately, the racism is still here...

Going to Hell in a handbasket: Mom, a.k.a. Aimee Louise Sword, has sexual relationship with son she gave up for adoption!

Heaven help us….

Did you dress up for your mugshot?

From the picture, she seems normal looking, with the ability to carry on a relationship with a man or woman if she desired.  What made her think that having sex WITH HER OWN BIOLOGICAL CHILD was a good thing?

kittens are always funny...imagine if they could actually speak

Michigan Mom Aimee Louise Sword Faces Trial for Incest With Son She Gave Up for Adoption

Police Say Sword Contacted Son, Now a Teenager, Over the Internet

By SARAH NETTER

Sept. 11, 2009—

A Michigan mother is facing a trial after being accused of having a summer romance with the teenage son she gave up for adoption.

Aimee Louise Sword, 35, who is free on bond after her arrest, was initially charged with three counts of felony third-degree criminal sexual conduct. A judge this week reduced the charges to one count, but police say she is accused of a “very serious crime.”

Why reduce the charges?  Keep them high, in fact make them harsher.  The only real excuse someone could use is actual mental defect.  Even then, I would want to keep them for observation…

remember this monster? same thing...

This is not much difference than Joe Fritzl.  You can review who this guy is here and here and here.  For  a funny picture of a terrible situation, look here. (all safe for work)

Sword began a sexual relationship with her biological son in the summer of 2008 after reconnecting with him on the Internet, Waterford Township Police Sgt. Scott Good told ABCNews.com.

“She had given the child up early on in life for adoption,” he said, adding that Sword’s adoption agreement permitted limited contact with the boy.

Good said police were notified about the alleged incestuous romance in the fall after being contacted by Child Protective Services.

I want to know who did CPS know that there was this relationship that was taking place?  Whoever was the whistle blower, great job…

After an investigation that resulted in the three-count warrant, Sword surrendered to police April 24. She was released a short time later on a $3,000 bond.

How is this only a 3k bond?  So, he hit off the bail bonds dude with 300 dollars and she was free to go?  I think that she deserved a little higher bond.

Funny...it was the first one in google images and they are in Michigan....eerie coincidence...

Sword’s lawyer Kenneth Burch told ABCNews.com that his client has pleaded not guilty ahead of the pre-trial date set for Sept. 21.

“Anybody would be distraught and she is because of the allegations she is faced with,” he said. “She’s meeting this head on.”

Are you distraught that you got caught, or that you did what you did?

Burch would not go into detail about Sword or her life, but confirmed she has other children who have since been removed from the house by CPS. There were never any allegations of abuse involving the other children, he said.

Her ex-mother-in-law, before hanging up on ABCNews.com, said that she’s “not interested in any interview, anything with my grandchildren.”

First, this lady has had other kids removed.  While that is not a sign of guilt, it is pretty damning.  Second, big up to the grandmother NOT talking to the media.  They are never going to go away, so don’t feel the need to feed them.  Everything that you are going to say, wait to say it in court, or don’t say it at all.

Mom Accused of Incest

Police said it was clear there were multiple sexual encounters with the teen.

Because of police policy regarding criminal sexual conduct cases and the fact that Sword’s son is a minor, Good said he could not release other details, including the boy’s whereabouts or even his current age.

Sword’s ex-husband couldn’t be reached for comment.

Ex has nothing to say, because I imagine that he feels emasculated.  no father wants to be eclipsed by their son.

Hey Chris, what's with your leg? OH my god, that's not your leg!!

Oh Peter, I care as much about the size of your penis, as you do the size of my breasts. -Oh my god.....No wonder he is always slouching...

Good said that despite the low bond, the charge against her is “very severe.”

Serious would seem to indicate a high bond.  I am sure that Joe Fritzl didn’t have a small bond… What the hell goes through some people’s heads?… You didn’t learn from the mistakes of others in the news?
