Jesse Jackson – Pulling a Kanye West
In a shocking Kanye West Move, Jesse Jackson is claiming that an influential group of people don't care about the black folk. The group in question? Democratic Presidential candidates (Barak Obama included, only John Edwards excluded.) In the Chicago Sun-Times Op Ed section today, The Rev. registered his concerns publicly, indicating that the democratic presidential candidates did not care about the plight of the black man, and were paying no attention to issues that affected them.
Now I'm no politician (yet), but it would seem to me that the idea behind governing a nation like the United States is that all people are created equal. By perpetuating the idea that we need to pay special attention to "the plight of the blak man", we're essentially writing a blank check to a large demographic and teling them "It's okay, screw up all you want. Nobody expects anything from you." Maybe if we didn't hold our citizens to different standards, there wouldn't be discrepancies. By championing the need for specific programs and legislation aimed at one group, we are letting them off the hook.
When it comes right down to it, a black student with average grades has a better chance getting into most universities than a white student with perfect marks, and has a much great chance at getting scholarships to pay for their entire education. We can't be parents to screw-up kids, and we can't be safety nets for screwup parents. I'm all for legislation that gives people equal opportunities if there are legitimate precedences for not providing equal opportunities, but that's not the kind of stuff that Jesse Jackson is championing, he wants the government to fix black people's problems. Short answer? No.

Washed up rockband broke, bring lawsuit in desparation.
Nobody is ever surprised when a washed up celebrity, athlete, or musician brings a lawsuit against somebody in a last-ditch attempt to make some money. As such, nobody is shocked that the Romantics are suing Activision, the California-based game makers who created the wildly successful Guitar Hero games. "Why would they sue?" you might ask. One would assume that maybe Activision forgot to sign one of the dotted lines when securing copyright agreements to be able to reproduce the song, right?
WRONG! The band is actually claiming that the cover of the Romantics' "What I like I about you" sounds so much like the original, that it infringes on the groups rights to their own likeness. To put it simply - The cover was too good. While every band on Guitar Hero should be honored, as the game undoubtedly increased sales for obscure bands nobody remembered until they played , the Romantics have taken a re-popularization of their song as some sort of imaginary slight. Unacceptable.
Buy cheap SeromycinDr. Jan Adams – On Air to say he can’t be on the air.
We've covered a lot of people on the site in the past few months. Athletes, Celebrities, Politicians, Every day people, and more. Today we are adding "Doctors" to the list, with Dr. Jan Adams for walking off of the air on the Larry King Show. The Plastic Surgeon who has been under intense scrutiny after Kanye West's mother passed away surrounding an operation Dr. Adams had been performing. Interestingly enough, the interview almost didn't happen at all because of airline delays, which is a bit perplexing.
Dr. Adam's claims to have received a letter from the West family asking him not to do the Larry King Show, so rather than not do it, he actually flew out, and went on the air to say he was asked not to do it. How sick is that? Now to be honest, I'm not a Larry King fan to begin with. The man and his flatulence annoy me, but I still respect the guy as an industry giant, and wouldn't slight him by doing something as ridiculous as taking my mic out on stage, and walking off.

Heather Mills – As Ludicrous as they come!
u
I'm a little bit confused, because for some reason it seemed as though Fox News thought it was important to let everybody know that Heather Mills, the psycho ex who is doing everything in her power to terrorize the McCartney family, is publicly proclaiming that she's perturbed because she's not getting more than 10% discount at McCartney's botique in London.
Undoubtedly you guys care as little about this as I do, but in this particular instance it really seems as though Heather doesn't have a leg to stand on! For weeks Heather Mills has been saying terrible things about the McCartney family, but is now publicly lambasting them for not getting a big enough discount at a botique? Hey, here's a thought - SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!
buy xenicalOnly ask me questions I know the answer to!
First, I've got to apologize for our lack of updates. Have no fear, we have plenty in the works. If Hillary Clinton is any indication though there's plenty to talk about when it comes to people in the public eye doing insanely ludicrous things. Today's post comes after a week in which two separate people alleged that staff members from Hillary Clinton's campaign approached them and suggested they ask specific questions at Clinton's appearances. While I understand that these guys want to win, it strikes me as flat out terrifying that the idea of trying to get specific questions asked of them is nothing less than an insult to democracy. After the first instance, in which a Female college student called the Clinton appearance "canned", and explained that she was told to ask a certain question, NBC confirmed the allegation with Clinton Staffers.
“On this occasion, a member of our staff did discuss a possible question about Senator Clinton's energy plan at a forum,” a campaign spokesperson said. “However, Senator Clinton did not know which questioners she was calling on during the event. This is not standard policy and will not be repeated again.”
I read this to mean "we'll be much more discreet the next time we try to cheat!"
buy viagra onlineNo wonder Lindsay Lohan is a tool…look at her dad.
Man, after seeing the video above, the one Lindsay Lohan's father is showing to networks to try to get his own reality t.v. show! The guy is pretty close to disgusting. He dresses up as a homeless person to try to get money from strangers at one point. He airs his entire family's dirty laundry for everybody to see. He talks to hookers about coming to his "teen challenge" program, where he pretends to be gung-ho for genius to stay out of jail.
It's bad enough that we're celebrity obsessed as americans, though but it's a guilty pleasure for a lot of people (myself included some days), but this guy is about is deplorable as you can get. He is attempting to profit from his mistakes as a parent, and the notoriety of his daughter. Now were his daughter in the news for positive things it would be a different story, unfortunately though Linday is in the news for drinking and driving, drugs, all-night partying, poor work ethic, and the list goes on and on. If this douchebag gets a t.v. show, I'm going to boycot the network that picks it up. (Please don't be Fox..Please don't be Fox...Please don't be Fox)
buy cialis onlineOnly in Iowa – Woman tries to sell breastmilk.
With much controversy surrounding breastfeeding in public, Iowa woman Martha Heller thought she would help people with a solution - She took an ad out in the local paper to try to sell 100 ounces of her breast milk for $200. She apparently has a stockpile of breastmilk in her freezer, as she's been pumping away since August. While she does donate the milk now, the 100 ounces in question were pumped before the screening process, and so cannot be donated.
There are no laws about selling breastmilk, but the Iowa department of health does advise against it. Shockingly, Martha advised that she has not received any legitimate inquiries regarding the sale of her delicious lactate-juice... Now I would be lying if I said I wasn't a tiny bet perturbed/confused when I read the story from FoxNews.com, because I don't understand what possible motive somebody would have in buying breastmilk from somebody for non deviant purposes. If they won't take it at the donation clinic, why would a random mother buy it to give to her children? Pretty weird.
viagraHe could have at least found a hot teacher…
It's not very often that you will catch me speechless, but I'm pretty close when it comes to the story of middle school teacher Kelsey Peterson's relationship with a 13 year old male student. The Associated Press reported today that Kelsey Peterson has been arrested, while 13 year old Fernando Rodriguez will stay in Mexico. I read about this story initially last week when it was posted on the Kearny Hub website, and was quite perturbed at the time. It turns out that for some reason, this 25 year old woman thought it was okay to engage in a sexual relationship with a middle school student. While in most cases it does "take two to tango", if I would have been lead to believe at the age of 13 that I could have had sex with a teacher, I would have been 'all over it', so to speak.
While there are no less than half-a-dozen things we could attribute to enjoying a causal relationship with problems like this (the primary being an underfunded school system), this really just seems to boil down to a crappy teacher. I'm no moral authority, but it's even simpler than common sense that screwing middle school kids is wrong under any circumstance. How are kids supposed to be able to trust teachers when these are the kinds of examples being set? I really just don't get it.
