Lou Dobbs leaving CNN…GREAT! Go join FOX News where you belong…
November 12, 2009
Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$, Lou. I used to enjoy listening to you, but somewhere, you went off the deep end. You continued the birther movements going with your continued questioning of President Obama’s birth certificate, even though that was an issue already decided. Your boss even sent you a memo, telling you the story is dead.
In part, Klein writes, “It seems this story is dead- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.” Klein asked CNN researchers to dig into the question of why Obama couldn’t produce the original birth certificate. The researchers contacted the Hawaii Health Dept. and confirmed that paper documents were discarded in 2001 when the department went paperless. That reportedly includes Pres. Obama’s original birth certificate.
Then, your rants on illegal immigration bordered on outright racism. Your time has come, you have been surpassed like the remnants of Jim Crow laws. Whatever your thinking on illegal immigration, you are not going to stop it with your racist rhetoric. I can’t wait to see your brand of advocacy.
New York (CNN) — CNN’s Lou Dobbs stepped down from his controversial role as an advocacy anchor at the network at the end of his show Wednesday night, saying he plans to seek a more activist role.
“Over the past six months, it has become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving as well as to contribute positively to a better understanding of the great issues of our day and to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible,” Dobbs said during his 7 p.m. broadcast.
Dobbs, 64, said he had discussed the issue with CNN President Jonathan Klein, who had agreed to a release from his contract “that will enable me to pursue new opportunities.”
I worry about what those other opportunies are Lou. Are you going to be riding with the rengeade groups that hound illegals and give them a taste of Lou Dobbs Justice? Or, are you going to conintue the meme of the President is not legimatate because of his birthplace? You and Orly would make a cute couple… Media Matters sent out a release questioning you, and the network for your views back in July.
Washington, DC — Today, Media Matters for America called further attention to Lou Dobbs’ continued use of his CNN show and his radio show to legitimize conspiracy theories about President Obama’s birth certificate. Dobbs’ mainstreaming of such claims comes even as other CNN figures — including his stand-in, Kitty Pilgrim — have repeatedly and resoundingly debunked them, calling them “nutty” and “ludicrous.”
“CNN has a very serious Lou Dobbs problem on its hands,” said Eric Burns, President of Media Matters. “All eyes are on CNN to see how the network will handle a host who has clearly become a stain on its journalistic credibility.”
Media Matters released the following web video today on Dobbs’ undermining the network’s credibility: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXmqTmRPAng
The network was happy to see him go. I think that they just got tired of having to defend his nonsensical rants on immigration and his tireless slandering of Latinos and Hispanics. Glenn Beck is keeping a seat warm for you.
If you had only known, you could have saved everyone a lot of trouble...
“With characteristic forthrightness, Lou has now decided to carry the banner of advocacy journalism elsewhere. We respect his decision and wish him, Debi [Dobbs' wife], and his family the very best.”
Herein lies the rub. Lou was good, but went off the deep end. I remember watching a lot of his financial stories with interest. He clearly has some down home spun charm that he can use positively, or negatively, and he has gone to the dark side for me. It’s okay to have different beliefs than what I have, and for you to espouse them, just have facts and evidence to back it up.
Dobbs, who is the last of the 29-year-old network’s original anchors, said he was considering “a number of options and directions.”
He cited the growth of the middle class, the creation of jobs, health care, immigration policy, the environment, climate change and the U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as “the major issues of our time.”
But, he said, “Each of those issues is, in my opinion, informed by our capacity to demonstrate strong resilience of our now weakened capitalist economy and demonstrate the political will to overcome the lack of true representation in Washington, D.C. I believe these to be profoundly, critically important issues and I will continue to strive to deal honestly and straightforwardly with those issues in the future.” Read Dobbs’ full statement about his departure from CNN
Those issues, he added, are defined in the public arena “by partisanship and ideology rather than by rigorous, empirical forethought, analysis and discussion,” and he vowed to work to change that.
During his second stint at CNN, Dobbs positioned himself as “tough, relentless, independent,” lashing out at what he described as the deficiencies and “partisan nonsense” of both major political parties, and injecting advocacy journalism into his coverage of topics ranging from free trade to immigration.
His no-holds-barred, sometimes acerbic style brought him a loyal following, but also attracted controversy both to him and to the network, especially over the subject of illegal immigrants.
Dobbs will continue as anchor of The Lou Dobbs Show, a daily radio show that began in March 2008 and is distributed to more than 160 stations nationwide by United Stations Radio Networks Inc.
I will help you load up the U-Haul Lou...
Lou, you win a diabolical hater T-shirt as a parting gift….John King will be brought in to replace you. NPR sheads some light on John King.
While Dobbs will continue on his nationally syndicated radio show, he did not specify his new role. CNN announced Thursday that his 7 p.m. weekday time slot will be filled in 2010 by a new show built around longtime CNN political reporter and anchor John King. The selection of King, who strives never to reflect personal ideological positions on the air, is more consistent with CNN’s intended brand as a source of objective reporting.
Remember when you used to do that Lou? The NPR story sheds more light on why it was really your time to go. You didn’t fit in the pattern of fair and unbiased reporting. You seemingly forgot what a reporters job is. You RESEARCH the story and have concrete facts, not just freestyle off the top of your dome.
By his own account, Dobbs was radicalized by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. He evolved on the air into an economic populist and a hard-liner on illegal immigration who often sparked the ire of Latinos.
Dobbs’ ratings rose for many years, but he drew much fire from critics drawn from disparate business, liberal and Latino circles.
In one instance, Dobbs was forced to apologize for his characterization of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce — a mainstream business group — which he said was “effectively an organization that is interested in Mexico’s export of drugs and illegal aliens to the United States.”
Dobbs sometimes overstated or misrepresented the facts as he sought to connect illegal immigrants to crime or other societal ills, a frequent theme. In one instance, Dobbs and a CNN reporter seemed to attribute a startling rise in leprosy cases to illegal immigrants from Latin America. There was no such startling rise — and what cases there were would have been more likely to have had Asian origins.
His radio show took on an even more severe edge.
So, Lou, it was your time to be put out to pasture, or sent to the glue factory.
See Lou, the birther story is over....just like your career at CNN
You know we went over the reasons why this is true here. First, we brought you news of the death. During the reporting of his death, we speculated correctly. (This is something that you never want to be right on) With his death, we tried to look towards something positive. We told you that you can prevent his from happening by not buying your side pieces things, because they become accustomed to getting things. When you pull back, they will be upset. Now, if you are like Loso, then you can just throw it in the bag and not care.
But, it remains worth saying, due to the release of the cell phone records of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi.
One message that I hope doesn’t get lost is that the things that you say are not really protected once you die. So all the dirt that you texted about, there are records of all that. So, don’t think that you are getting away with something, because if you commit a crime, they are going to subpoena these records. USA Today reports the mayhem….
Nashville police have released more details about the murder-suicide of former Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair and his 20-year-old girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi, including some of their final text messages.
In the early morning of July 3, one day before their bodies were found, Kazemi sent a text message to McNair asking if he loved her.
“I’m gonna have all of u soon,” she said.
“Yes u will,” McNair replied.
See, here is the first mistake. Don’t promise something that you have no intention of following through with. Playing with someone’s emotions can have dangerous consequences.
The deaths have been ruled a murder-suicide, but the case file was withheld pending outcome of a related federal case involving the sale of the weapon used in the killings.
Click here to read the police summary report.
McNair and Kazemi were found July 4 at a downtown Nashville condo McNair rented.The former Titan quarterback was shot four times, and Kazemi died from a single gunshot to the head. Neither had any defensive wounds, and police believe McNair was asleep.
Investigators concluded that Kazemi was drowning in debt and despondent over realizations that McNair was dating other women and wasn’t going to leave his wife for her, The Tennessean reports.
If you had kept it real in the first place, then the other women might not have been so stressful. But, when you tell her that she is about to be elevated to QB#1 and in reality, you keep her on the practice squad, that can tear at a woman.
Early in the morning on July 3, she texted McNair, saying she might have a breakdown because she was so stressed. He responded, telling her everything was going to be fine.
“Baby I need to pay the cell phone bills n the hospital. can you transfer 2000 to my acc (sic)”, the text message said.
Then, nine minutes later, she said she might need to go to the hospital because she could hardly breathe.
A few hours later, she told McNair she wanted to pay some bills before she went to work because they were stressing her out.
He assured her he had someone transferring the money, the report says.
it really isnt that serious....just file for bankruptcy...or have someone steal the Caddy and get the insurance money...
This is when it fully becomes a problem. When she is equating her fiscal problems with the causes of health problems, then you have a situation that you need to deal with. The sad fact of the matter is that the 10K or 20 that she owed was a drop in the bucket for McNair. But, for normal people, that can seem like a drowning amount of money.
The American Dream....to be drowning in debt and owning a bunch of crap....
But, for those of use living large, here is how to live larger
ESPN reports the level of despair that she was feeling…
Kazemi later texted McNair three times asking to be with him that night. He said he was having trouble getting his sons to sleep. But at that time, McNair was seen at a restaurant with friends. Kazemi texted she was going to his condo. He texted back at 12:38 a.m. that he was on his way and asked her to open the front door at 12:52 a.m. Kazemi told him at 1:14 a.m. it was open.
Don’t play with people emotions is the sad tale that this story tells. That and not to have a side pivce or jump-off
Some things don't forget.....
and he has the ability to couch “Because I’ve been ballin on these bitches and they can’t stand the rain…” to sound polite and kind as well….
While much of America had its eyes skyward, tracking what was thought to be a boy in a run-away balloon, President Obama was dealing with another boy very much on the ground.
“Why do people hate you?” asked 4th-grader Terence Scott, posing the final question at the president’s Town Hall Meeting this afternoon at the University of New Orleans.
The youngster seemed earnest and genuinely distressed about harsh words he’s heard people direct at the 44th President.
“They supposed to love you,” said the youngster, “and God is love.”
Son, the reason people hate President Obama is that their candidate didnt win, or that they just hate black people. The guy has been in office less than nine months, but everyone thinks that they can do his job better than he can. It’s like backseat driving. Everyone wants to tell someone else how to do their jobs. Just because you work at Burger King and you have to make it my way, doesn’t mean that you can come to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and tell me how to do my job. You make the burgers, and I will make the policies. See, that is what he wanted to say, but he kept it politically safe, which was the right, and smart thing to do.
“That’s what I’m talking about,” said the president, grateful for words of kindness and support. He was on a trip to explain why it took him nine months to make his first visit as president to a city still struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Mr. Obama tried to reassure the kid that it’s not as bad as he thinks.
“First of all, I did get elected president, so not everybody hates me now,” he told the 4th grader. But he conceded that “if you’re watching TV lately, it seems like everybody’s just getting mad all the time.”
“You’ve got to take it with a grain of salt,” the president explained. “Some of it is just what’s called politics.”
(CBS)How do you explain hardball politics to a 4th grader?
“Once one party wins,” said the president, struggling to find the right words, “then the other party kind of gets – feels like it needs to poke you a little bit to keep you on your toes.”
Poke you a little bit? Is that what his political critics and opponents are doing?
“You shouldn’t take it too seriously,” was Mr. Obama’s bottom line advice to the youngster.
Haters hate kid. It’s a fact of life. Here is how the hated on me during the election.
What bitches!??!?!?!? Bow down to the Great Allah Barack Hussein Obama!
But that couldn’t stop me, they have done far worse. Remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? This is what he and others had to go through.
and the end result was still a minor victory for blacks in the south.
He said a lot of people are losing their jobs or health care or homes to foreclosure. “They’re feeling frustrated,” he said, sounding as though he could forgive them for their bitter words and criticism.
They can’t get over the fact that the oppression is eroding and the control that was once tight as a noose has been gradually reduced. I just rose above the haters.
HAHAHA Pumas! This is you right here....How did that whole campaign thing work out for you?
And as president, he conceded he gets some credit when things go well and some of the blame when they don’t. “That part of the job,” he explained.
“So you’ve just got to keep on going even when folks are criticizing you,” he said.
And after all, said the president, “I’m a pretty tough guy.”
“Are you a tough guy?” he asked his 4th grade questioner. The kid seemed to accept the explanation as he got another hug from the president.
If nothing else, the youngster got a great story to write about in his next composition.
And bloggers have something else to write about too…
Dave Checketts gets smart and makes the move to drop Rush Limbaugh
October 14, 2009
Well, NFL ownership will not apply to you either!
Why you would have him in your group to begin with was shady, but the fact that you understand that if you really want the Rams, you have to drop the dead weight.
Rush Limbaugh is expected to be dropped from a group bidding to buy the St. Louis Rams, according to three NFL sources.
Dave Checketts, chairman of the NHL’s St. Louis Blues and the point man in the Limbaugh group attempting to buy the Rams, realizes he must remove the controversial conservative radio host from his potential role as a minority member in the group in order to get approval from other NFL owners, the sources said.
Now Checketts in St. Louis is seen as a hero, since he helped to revitalize the Blues, keep them in town and turn them into a winner. But, also don’t forget that he was a part of the toxic cesspool known as the New York Knicks.
Three-quarters of the league’s 32 owners would have to approve any sale to Limbaugh and his group. Earlier this week, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay predicted that Limbaugh’s potential bid would be met by significant opposition. Several players have also voiced their displeasure with Limbaugh’s potential ownership position, and NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, who is black, urged players to speak out against Limbaugh’s bid.
Ultimately, the sources said, Checketts must reconfigure his group and find another investor to make his bid more viable.
Exactly when Limbaugh will be dropped is uncertain, though some familiar with the situation said it could be within the next week. It is unclear if the two sides even have spoken.
A Limbaugh spokesman told ESPN that Limbaugh would have no comment on Wedneday. Earlier, on his syndicated radio show, Limbaugh was defiant, holding on to hope that he still could be part of the ownership group that buys the Rams.
“I’m not even thinking of exiting,” Limbaugh said on his program, according to a transcript provided to ESPN. “I’m not even thinking of caving. I am not a caver. None of us are. We have been betrayed by too many who have caved. Pioneers take the arrows. We are pioneers. It’s a sad thing but our country over 200 years old now needs pioneers all over again, but we do.”
It’s okay Rush. We don’t care that you are not thinking about exiting, as the NFL is planning to sell to someone that isn’t you. Plus, didn’t you hear your boy Checketts is dropping you?
at least you still have your radio show and the sheep that follow you...
Without Limbaugh, Checketts and his group would have to find a financial substitute to replace the investment that Limbaugh intended to make. At the NFL owners meetings this week in Boston, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addressed Limbaugh’s potential involvement in the league and said “divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about.”
Goodell added: “I’ve said many times before, we’re all held to a high standard here. I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL — absolutely not.”
In 2003, Limbaugh was forced to resign from ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown after saying of Philadelphia’s Donovan McNabb: “I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.”

If St. Louis is really looking for some local ownership, try Nelly.

Dude likes sports and is a fan of the local team. And, he is not the anti-Christ….
Rockies pull sleight of hand to beat Cardinals
September 30, 2009
the definition of a motley crue
This was first said by the famous French poet Baudelaire in an unusual short story about meeting the Devil and having a grand old time.
Elle ne se plaignit en aucune façon de la mauvaise réputation dont elle jouit dans toutes les parties du monde, m’assura qu’elle était, elle-même, la personne la plus intéressée à la destruction de la superstition, et m’avoua qu’elle n’avait eu peur, relativement à son propre pouvoir, qu’une seule fois, c’était le jour où elle avait entendu un prédicateur, plus subtil que ses confrères, s’écrier en chaire:
«Mes chers frères, n’oubliez jamais, quand vous entendrez vanter le progrès des lumières, que la plus belle des ruses du diable est de vous persuader qu’il n’existe pas!»
He did not complain in any way about the bad reputation he enjoyed all over the world, assured me that he himself was the person the most interested in the destruction of superstition, and admitted to me that he had only been afraid for his own power one time, and that was the day when he had heard a preacher, more subtle than his colleagues, shout out from the pulpit:“My dear brothers, never forget, when you hear the progress of enlightenment vaunted, that the devil’s best trick is to persuade you that he doesn’t exist!“
“Le Joueur généreux,” pub. February 7, 1864; translation by Cat Nilan, 1999¹ (emphasis mine)
Still, we shouldn't use instant replay
http://rockiesphotos.blogspot.com/2009/09/amazing-catch.html
Is the blog of a pretty hard core Rockies fan. They have pictures shot of the game detailing the “catch” made by Clint Barmes to end the game.
DENVER — The Catch might not have been a catch after all.
Clint Barmes returned from a day off in the mountains with his family Tuesday to learn that doubt had been cast upon his sensational game-ending grab that cinched the Colorado Rockies‘ victory over the St. Louis Cardinals 48 hours earlier.
Barmes
The second baseman’s tumbling catch of Ryan Ludwick’s one-out flare to shallow right field, followed by his strike to first base to double up Albert Pujols and seal the NL wild-card leading Rockies’ 4-3 win was immediately termed “the defensive play of the year” by manager Jim Tracy.
However, a fan, Craig Welling, posted images on his photo blog from his vantage point in right field, and one of the shots clearly showed the ball on the grass for a split second as Barmes rolled over.
Craig, some people are questioning whether you are a Rockies fan, but if they actually look at your blog, there is no question to where your loyalties are placed. I bet that you just uploaded your pictures with no further thought on what you saw.
Barmes’ body blocked television angles as well as those of professional photographers.
So, did he make the catch or not?
“When I popped to my feet, the ball was in my hand,” Barmes said. “I never said I caught it clean.”
After the game, Barmes said he thought he made the catch but that it happened so fast, he wasn’t sure.
Barmes said Tuesday that all he knows for sure is that the ball bobbled around his body as he tumbled.
“Once I was heading down, the ball bounced off my glove,” he said. “I felt it hit my chest. I’m reaching for it, trying to battle to catch it before it hits the ground. At that point, it happened so fast, my knee hit [the ground], I flipped, I knocked my hat and my glasses off, scratched my forehead. I come up and the ball’s in my hand.”
Now Barmes knows he didn’t make the catch. After the game, when faced with evidence, just man up and point out the obvious that you didn’t make the catch, but put forth full effort to make it happen.
Right fielder Ryan Spilborghs immediately hollered at him to throw to first base to double up Pujols, who, like Julio Lugo at third base, had run on contact.
First-base umpire Sam Holbrook ruled it a catch, and the throw to first ended the game.
“It’s not like I’m sitting here trying to play it off and try to cheat them out of an out or whatever,” Barmes said. “I honestly thought that I caught the ball at the time. … I wish I could say I’m good enough, my hand-eye coordination is good enough, as I’m rolling that fast and I’m in full-speed and I hit the ground rolling that I can react and try to pick a ball up on the ground.”
Spilborghs, who had the best view of the play, was coy when asked Tuesday whether the Rockies got away with one.
“It was a good play, that’s all it was,” he said. “It doesn’t really matter because the play’s over.”
But did he see the ball hit the ground?
“It’s more fun not to say whether I did or I didn’t,” Spilborghs retorted.
Bullshit. I call bullshit on you Ryan. IF you saw he made the catch, then come out and verify it and don’t leave him hanging. But, if you know he didn’t make the catch, there is no reason to carry on with the facade of the catch.
Barmes even held a news conference Tuesday before the Rockies faced the Milwaukee Brewers so that he didn’t have to talk about the play over and over with individual reporters.
“You look at my quotes on Sunday, I never once said I for sure caught the ball. I said, ‘All I know is whenever I hit, I rolled, the ball was not in my glove, it somehow was in my throwing hand when I came up and I finished the play out of reaction,’” Barmes said. “I went and looked at the replays and I saw two, slowing it down frame by frame and I couldn’t tell. And so, I just assumed it worked out great — the ball, I caught it clean.
“And obviously today showing up, the picture showed that I didn’t.”
Even if baseball had instant replay for these types of situations, the call wouldn’t have been reversed because there was no video angle that conclusively showed the ball had hit the grass.
“The bottom line, like a lot of the guys in [the clubhouse] said, we got the win and that’s all that matters,” Barmes said.

Where is that damn AFLAC duck when I need it?
Swiss Police detain Roman Polanski…attempting to curry favor with the United States?
September 27, 2009
YOU! Bring me all your young women...
People have a strange fascination with Roman Polanski. We almost seem forgetful of the fact that this dude was is a criminal and a criminal that should be forced to serve his time. But, because of his talent, we want to give him a pass. well, fate finally kept up with him. E!Online explains here what happened.
Accepting a lifetime achievement award may have been the blunder of a lifetime for director Roman Polanski. Relatively speaking, of course.
Upon arriving in Switzerland to receive an honorary award at the Zurich Film Festival, the 76-year-old director was taken into custody by local authorities on a U.S. warrant related to his 1977 statutory rape conviction, and is in custody at the Swiss Justice Ministry while plans take shape for an extradition hearing.
The girl was thirteen…shouldn’t that be enough said? Here is the wiki entry which explains the crime.
In 1977, Polanski, then aged 44, became embroiled in a scandal involving 13-year-old Samantha Gailey (now known as Samantha Geimer). It ultimately led to Polanski’s guilty plea to the charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.[25]
According to Geimer, Polanski asked Geimer’s mother if he could photograph the girl for the French edition of Vogue, which Polanski had been invited to guest-edit. Her mother allowed a private photo shoot. According to Geimer in a 2003 interview, “Everything was going fine; then he asked me to change, well, in front of him.” She added, “It didn’t feel right, and I didn’t want to go back to the second shoot.”
Geimer later agreed to a second session, which took place on March 10, 1977 at the Mulholland area home of actor Jack Nicholson in Los Angeles. “We did photos with me drinking champagne,” Geimer says. “Toward the end it got a little scary, and I realized he had other intentions and I knew I was not where I should be. I just didn’t quite know how to get myself out of there.” She recalled in a 2003 interview that she began to feel uncomfortable after he asked her to lie down on a bed, and how she attempted to resist. “I said, ‘No, no. I don’t want to go in there. No, I don’t want to do this. No!”, and then I didn’t know what else to do,” she stated.[26]
Geimer testified that Polanski performed various sexual acts on her, including oral sex, vaginal intercourse, and anal sex.[27][28][29] after giving her a combination of champagne and quaaludes, a sedative drug.[30]
All I can think of when I read and her this is to think about the ending of the movie KIDS.
These were some buckwild kids....
If you have not seen this movie, it was one that changed my behavior and reinforced smart thinking. (Plot summary here)The E!Online story continues…
“We were unaware of any extradition being sought and separate counsel will be retained for those proceedings,” Polanski attorneys Bart Dalton, Doug Dalton and Chad Hummel said in a statement.
Swiss officials say they will not release Polanski, a French citizen, until the extradition process is complete (or has been firmly denied). The Chinatown director fled the United States in 1978 before he could be sentenced for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in California.
Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful intercourse with a minor and was told he would be credited for time served and avoid further jail time. Apparently fearing the judge would renege on the plea bargain, he fled the country in 1978 and has technically been a fugitive from justice ever since.
Polanksi’s camp filed a motion this year to have the decades-old case dismissed, a motion that his now fortysomething victim supported, but L.A. Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza insisted Polanksi appear in person to make his case. The filmmaker said he had no plans to return to these shores, ever.
Switzerland has a limited extradition treaty with the U.S., so…we’ll see.
L.A. District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said that her office learned of Polanski’s travel plans last week and alerted Swiss authorities, who picked him up at the airport.

a classic beauty whose life was ended too early....
Now, this dude had a traumatic experience happen to him with the death of his wife Sharon Tate and many others at their home while he was out of town, but this doesn’t excuse him. I am fine with him coming back over here to at least stand trial for the crime/finish his sentencing. Polanski married Emmanuelle Seigner in 1989 and had kids. What would he think if someone tried to have sex with his daughter when she was 13? Hopefully, he comes quietly and does the right thing….
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.
Walkouts and Protests happening at UC Berkeley over budget cuts….Those who fail to learn history…
September 24, 2009
At least they are not here to stop Memorial Stadium from getting a facelift
Budget cuts in CA are no joke right now. Friends that I have that are working at public institutions have mandatory time off right now. People are being forced to work four day workweeks, in order to make the budget balance.
I thought that education was the key to a good life, but if you are a student and you can get the classes that you need to graduate, it become a catch-22. The classes that are the prereqs for other classes are filled and the ones that you need are not available because you don’t have the first one in the sequence.
(09-24) 15:47 PDT BERKELEY — Thousands of UC students marched through downtown Berkeley and the area around campus this afternoon, staging a sit-down protest and blocking traffic as part of a demonstration against cuts to the university budget and proposed fee increases.
The unscheduled march started at the end of a two-hour rally on Read the rest of this entry »
When you win, you can still lose…Urban Meyer and the Florida Gators lose in the game of smack against Lane Kiffin and the Tennessee Volunteers
September 22, 2009
Don't worry Ronin, I won't mess this one up!
Gloria is incensed at Billy’s blowing his money again and is also suspicious of how it happened. On the way to Sidney’s apartment, she tells Billy: “Sometimes when you win, you really lose. And sometimes when you lose, you really win. And sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. Winning or losing is all one organic globule, from which one extracts what one needs.”
We love to talk smack here. Scoreboard smack is the best defense as well. But Urban Meyer needs to take a course from us. His smack is tired and he needs help in developing effective trash talk. Here is something for the IPhone hipster crowd.
Now, here is something for the rest of us out there….
That is how you talk trash. Or like this here…
The USA Today chimes in on the chirping that Urban Meyer is doing…
It's okay you won this one...my wife is much hotter than yours Urban...
Florida coach Urban Meyer sent one more salvo toward Read the rest of this entry »
President Obama calls Kayne West a jackass….while it’s true, you can’t SAY IT!!!!
September 15, 2009
Yes, WE CAN....call you a jackass....
We feel you President Obama, but you have to keep that black side bottled up. Now, we are the ones that can go all ghetto, but you have to keep it cool…
When it comes to Kanye West, it seems that President Obama is thinking what the rest of the country is thinking.
The President called the rapper “a jackass” in an off-the-record comment during a CNBC interview yesterday, but the comment became public when it was tweeted by ABC’s Terry Moran on Twitter, Politico.com reported Monday night.
An ABC statement explains: “ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview.”
Terry Moran… do you want to keep your credentials to report on the White House? You can’t try to clown the president like that….
Look at the surprise on her face....
Meanwhile, West himself admitted to Jay Leno what Americans -and Obama – had already figured out: Kanye screwed up big-time.
And maybe he needs to figure out why.
Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards, the rapper jumped on stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech and declared her award should have gone to Beyoncé Knowles.
After fielding a 24-hour firestorm of criticism and apologizing on his blog, West told Leno last night, “It was rude, period….I’m just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else’s hurt.”
West, who has had similar outbursts at previous awards shows, said, “I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I’m going to make it through the rest of this life, how I’m going to improve.
I feel for you on the loss of your mom. It caused me to take time off from school and do some different things. But, under no circumstances should you forget who you are…
You can try to explain, but there really is no explanation....
“If there’s anything I could do to help Taylor in the future or help anyone, I’d like [to],” he said.
Swift, who was invited onstage later at the VMAs by Beyoncé to finish her interrupted comments, gets a chance to respond this morning, when she appears on ABC’s “The View.”
Kayne, you can help her with some beats and a transformation into R&B, since as a country “star” (I use that term very loosely) I am not going to hear you. In fact, I only know who you are, due to this…
West’s discomfort was a gift from ratings heaven to Leno, who was kicking off his new 10 p.m. show last night.
He wound up with the country’s hottest celebrity story landing in his grateful lap.
West had been previously scheduled on the show as a performer only, with Jay-Z and Rihanna. Leno told the audience that because of what had happened the previous night, “Kanye wanted to talk.”
Leno asked West when he knew what he did was wrong.
“As soon as I gave the mike back to her and she didn’t keep going,” West said.
Still, after Leno asked him how his deceased mother would have reacted to his actions, West was silent for so long that Leno came back with a second question to coax an answer.
Jay didn’t have to come back with the mom comment. The dude is hurting about the loss of his mom and that can explain his wild behavior. The alcohol is the other reason that you felt the need to jump on stage like a fool.
cue Jamie Foxx.... blame it on the...henny it looks like...
