The White House Social Secretary,Desiree Rogers, Is Resigning

Desiree Rogers is the graceful 50 yr. old beauty who currently holds the position of White House Social Secretary.According to Lynn Sweet,of the Chicago-Sun Times,she will be resigning in March.

After that fame-seeking couple crashed President Barack Obama’s first state dinner,there were a lot of calls for her to step down.I'm sure that all of those folks are delighted today.Especially Washington Post's Sally Quinn,who publicly called for her resignation.

Here's more from WSJ:

"White House social secretary Desiree Rogers, who has been under fire ever since Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashed President Barack Obama’s first state dinner, will resign in March, she told Chicago Sun-Times columnist Lynn Sweet.

“As we turn the corner on the first year,” Rogers told Sweet, “this is a good time for me to explore opportunities in the corporate world.”

Rogers has been a glamorous and somewhat controversial figure in the White House from the beginning, posing for fashion shots and bringing eye-catching style to her post but sometimes being accused of neglecting the nitty gritty of the job. When the Salahi security came to light, Secret Service leaders took the fall, saying they had neglected to keep a watchful eye on the guests coming into the dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

But critics said Rogers and her crew were equally responsible for matching the guests to the guest list."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Sea World's Killer Whale Kills His Female Trainer In Front Of A Mortified Audience!

Dawn Brancheau is the 40 yr. old female trainer whose life ended when she was attacked by the killer whale she had trained at SeaWorld.Her unfortunate demise was witnessed by mortified spectators at the Shamu Stadium in Orlando,Florida.And since this isn't the first time the massive killer whale named Tilikum has killed,there is a debate raging over the safety of these theme park shows.

I do not believe that they are safe.This is the third time that this particular whale has killed a person.I say that enough is enough.Leave the killer whales alone & let them continue to reside in their natural habitat.Obviously,they are not show ponies.

My condolences go out to the friends & family of Dawn Brancheau.Her death was both horrific & unnecessary.Here's more from The Palm Beach Post:

"Three years ago, Russ Rector, a Fort Lauderdale dolphin trainer turned marine mammal activist, said he wrote SeaWorld a letter warning it was pushing its show mammals too hard to wow audiences, thereby inviting attacks on trainers.

On Wednesday, a killer whale named Tilikum implicated in two previous fatalities attacked a trainer during a show at the Orlando theme park, dragging her around like a toy and drowning her in front of horrified visitors.

``I warned them this was going to happen,' Rector said. ``Happy animals don't kill their trainers.''

There were conflicting reports of the circumstances that led to the death of Dawn Brancheau, but the accident seemed certain to rekindle debate over turning marine mammals, considered deeply intelligent and highly social by many scientists, into captive circus performers.

The attack on Brancheau, one of the park's most experienced trainers, was the latest in a string of violent incidents -- at least a handful of them fatal -- involving killer whales at SeaWorld and other marine theme parks around the world.

Tilikum, a 23-foot, 6-ton male that ranks among the largest orcas in captivity, had been linked to two of those deaths.

In 1991, the killer whale grabbed and drowned part-time trainer Keltie Byrne, who fell into its pool during a show at Sealand of the Pacific in British Columbia, Canada. It was later shipped to SeaWorld in Orlando where, in July 1999, security guards found a naked dead man draped across the orca's back one morning. The man had apparently slipped into the tank after hours, and though an autopsy showed he died of hypothermia, his body was also scratched and bruised.

Witnesses gave differing accounts to Orlando reporters about what happened during the noon show on Wednesday. Eldon Skaggs, 72, of Michigan told The Associated Press that Brancheau, 40, was on a platform with the killer whale and was massaging it when the creature suddenly ``pulled her under and started swimming around with her.'

``We were just a little bit stunned,' said Skaggs' wife, Sue Nichols, 67.

Another person in the audience told a local TV station that the orca jetted across the tank and shot into the air to grab Brancheau, thrashing so violently that the trainer's shoe shot off. But, according to the AP, Jim Solomons of the Orange County Sheriff's Office said Brancheau slipped or fell into the tank.

In a brief statement posted on the company website, Jim Atchison, president of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, said the company was investigating the incident and would review its operating standards.

``Nothing is more important than the safety of our employees, guests and the animals entrusted to our care,' he said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

My Take On The Controversial Racist South African Video!

Not everyone has heard about the case of four South African white university students who demeaned black school employees on video.This racist video sparked outrage when it first surfaced two years ago.

It basically is nothing more than a visual depiction of whites debasing blacks.There is nothing humorous about elderly black South Africans who were victims of apartheid getting victimized by the descendants of the people who caused their pain & suffering.

What was the purpose of this evil video? Here's more on that from Time:

"The riots that broke out in South Africa in protest of racial abuse on Wednesday, almost 16 years to the day that Nelson Mandela walked free from prison, have revealed just how distant the former president's dream of a Rainbow Nation remains from reality. The protests came in response to a video distributed on the Internet showing four white university students abusing black campus service staff by forcing them to perform a series of degrading acts, including eating food mixed with urine.

The video itself appears to have been posted as a twisted protest by racist students against plans to integrate university dorms. It opens with a voiceover in Afrikaans that says: "Once upon a time the Boers lived happily here on Reitz island, until the day the less advantaged discovered the word 'integration' in the dictionary."

The 10-minute film then moves on to a series of scenes in which black cleaners — four women and a man — are shown drinking bottles of beer in a race that the commentary describes as "down-downs," then taking part in a running race. In a final scene, what appears to be pet food is shown being mixed with garlic in a bowl. One of the four students then takes the bowl to a toilet, and is filmed urinating in it. The bowl is then heated in a microwave, divided into five plastic cups and handed to the cleaners, who are kneeling on the floor. The students shout at the cleaners to eat it. Two immediately spit it out; the three that eat it are then presented with a bottle of whisky. The video ends with an on screen message, also in Afrikaans, which translates as: "That, in the end, is what we think of integration."

The University of the Free State, where the scenes were filmed, said two of those shown in the video are still enrolled at the university, while two others had completed their studies. A spokesman said the university authorities were preparing to file a criminal complaint with the police.

Tensions have been simmering on campus over an integration policy introduced this year that aims to make black and white students mix more in university hostels. At present, according to a university policy document, "on the main campus, in effect we have 'two campuses — one white and one black — separated in the classrooms and the residences." Riots erupted over the issue last week, and on Wednesday police used a stun grenade to disperse a mixed crowd of black and white students and staff who held a combined protest against racism on the campus."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

So,I am glad to report that these pompous asses will face trial for their malicious & inhuman deeds.Here's more on that from BBC:

"During Wednesday's brief appearance, the state announced that the mediation process between the students and the cleaners had failed and that the court needed to resolve the matter.

The court had previously suggested that the parties go through a process of "restorative justice" - where people are encouraged to reconcile rather than seeking punishment for their aggressors.

No reasons were given for the failure but a report was handed to the court.

Fifteen years after apartheid ended, racism remains a problem in some areas.

The BBC's Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg says student residences in the University of Free State in Bloemfontein are still divided along racial lines - reminiscent of South Africa's apartheid past

The video is believed to have been recorded in protest against the university's plans to racially integrate students' residences.

'Play-acting'

When it surfaced, it caused a national outcry and sparked numerous anti-racism protests.

The final extract of the film was the final nail in the coffin of the university's image.

It shows a white male urinating on food, and then shouting "Take! Take!" in Afrikaans - apparently forcing the campus employees to eat the dirty food, and causing them to vomit.

The lawyers for two of the students down-played the incident last year, saying the video was "no more than play-acting".

The trial is to begin on 27 July."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the whole article here.

That ain't "play-acting." It's real racism.Plain & simple.

Jayson Williams Gets A 5 Year Prison Sentence!

Jayson Williams has finally found out how much time he has to do in prison. He accidentally killed his limo driver back in 2002. Mr. Williams received a 5 year jail term for that fatal shooting.

Considering the fact that this happened eight years ago,I would say that Jayson Williams was given ample time to prepare for his prison stint. Maybe now he will sober up & engage in some serious self-reflection. Because the victim's family feels like Jayson Williams has not been as remorseful as he should be.

Here's more from nj.com:

"In a letter to the judge read to the judge, Andrea Adams, Christofi's sister, said she endured eight years of watching Williams "partying around" as if her loss was "meaningless."

"Jayson Williams has been treated like a king, and it has been tragic," Adams said. "I believe Jayson Williams is a danger to society and should not be walking the streets."

"Maybe then my brother can rest in peace," she said.

Williams first went to trial in 2004, and a jury acquitted him of aggravated manslaughter, the most serious offense. He was convicted of the four charges related to the cover-up. Reckless manslaughter was the only charge on which jurors could not agree. He was slated to be retried this year, but pleaded guilty Jan. 11. During that hearing, Williams admitted that he pulled a shotgun from his gun collection on Feb. 14, 2002. He failed to check whether the safety mechanism was on, or if the gun was loaded, and he didn’t pay attention to where the muzzle was pointed. When he snapped the gun shut, it discharged and hit Christofi in the chest.

Williams has remained free on $250,000 bail and has spent the last few days tying up loose ends with his lawyers and spending time with his daughters, ages 7 and 5, said Akhtar Farzaie, his friend and manager. He has also made provisions for his charity work to continue, Farzaie said.

In addition, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office has charged him with driving while intoxicated for a Jan. 5 car crash. His blood alcohol content was 0.19, court papers say. If he pleads guilty, the district attorney will recommend a year in jail, consecutive to his New Jersey term." (END OF EXCERPT) Read the article in its entirety here.

A Man Intentionally Crashed A Small Plane Into A Building in Austin,Texas!

A man intentionally crashed a small plane into a building today in Austin,Texas. This guy may have also set his house on fire before the crash.There is no information on the pilot at this time.

The police said, during a news conference on the status of the investigation into the crash,that journalists were speculating & that they were guilty of being "irresponsible."All of the "inaccurate" reports seems to have incensed Austin's police chief.

CNN has reported that the perpetrator Joseph Stack left a 6 page suicide note that espouses his anti-government views. He also talked about his hatred towards the IRS. The building that Joseph Stack crashed the plane into housed 199 Internal Revenue Service employees.Wow!

Here's more from Daily Kos:

"Now, here's the dude's manifesto, labeled...

Well Mr. Big Brother IRS man... take my pound of flesh and sleep well.

If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, "Why did this have to happen?" The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say, this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless... especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was "no taxation without representation". I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a "crackpot", traitor and worse.

While very few working people would say they haven’t had their fair share of taxes (as can I), in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind. Nor, for that matter, are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say.

Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political "representatives" (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the "terrible health care problem". It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in.

And justice? You’ve got to be kidding!"(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.

I Will Watch Tiger Wood's Press Conference On Friday!!

I have tuned out on the consistent media coverage of Tiger Woods scandalous personal life.But now that the golf legend is actually going to hold a press conference,I cannot help but tune in to that!

And, of course,Tiger Woods is not taking question from prodding reporters. This really will be just a public apology.

Here's more on this from SB Nation:

"The PGA announced Wednesday that Tiger Woods will speak at an 11 a.m. ET press conference this Friday. It will be the first time he's spoken publicly since the floodgate of affair claims opened back in November. The presser will take place at the PGA Tour headquarters.

According to CNBC's Darren Rovell, Woods will read a prepared statement and won't be answering any questions."(END OF EXCERPT) Read more here.

Evander Holyfield's Wife Says He Brutalized Her!

Evander Holyfield is accused of being yet another perpetrator of domestic violence. His wife says that he hit,choked, & threw water at her. What a damn shame! Evander Holyfield toted his Christian faith as a way to set himself apart from others in the boxing profession.

Here's more on his deep religious faith from EnlightenNext:

"We all knew that he was an unusual boxer as he did not hide his deep Christian faith from the public. In fact, he was proud of it. And, in a sport that was too often made up of crude and unsavory characters, Evander Holyfield stood apart as a gentleman and a man of faith. We knew all this and we respected him for it, but now we felt he had gone too far. "No! Evander!" we shouted out loud, "Wake up!" After all, we considered ourselves to be "spiritual" men also and, in that, felt a kinship with Holyfield as a spiritual warrior."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the article in its entirety here.

Where was his gentility & Christian faith at when he hit his wife?

Here's more on that from CNN:

"Candi Holyfield, the wife of former heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield, has filed for a temporary protective order against her husband, court records show.

The case was filed last week in Fayette County, Georgia, Superior court, according to the Web site for the county clerk's office.

The listing said the case involves a "family violence ... protective order," but provided no additional details.

The court documents also alleged other acts of violence, including choking, hitting and throwing a bottle of water at her."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.

John Mayer Has A Sexual Aversion Towards Black Women!!

Dave Chapelle & John Mayer sing Diff'rent Strokes

Chino | MySpace Video
I have never,ever liked John Mayer. But,not because he is a white guy.His music is sub-par & I just don't find him sexually attractive at all. And it is a good thing that I don't.

Because John Mayer says that his penis is "sort of like a white supremacist" when it comes to black women. He said that he is a liberal at heart, but like "David Duke" in the sexual department. Then,he goes on to name the few black women that he might consider banging if he didn't have this sexual aversion towards them.

Message to John Mayer: All Black People Do Not Like You!

I am glad that you are sticking with your own kind. Because black women like me are repulsed by you.The feeling is totally mutual,dude. You,sir, are a smelly nasty douche bag.

Here's more on this racist prick from Playboy:

"PLAYBOY: If you didn’t know you, would you think you’re a douche bag?

MAYER: It depends on what I picked up. My two biggest hits are “Your Body Is a Wonderland” and “Daughters.” If you think those songs are pandering, then you’ll think I’m a douche bag. It’s like I come on very strong. I am a very…I’m just very. V-E-R-Y. And if you can’t handle very, then I’m a douche bag. But I think the world needs a little very. That’s why black people love me.

PLAYBOY: Because you’re very?

MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, “What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?” And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, “I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’"

PLAYBOY: It is true; a lot of rappers love you. You recorded with Common and Kanye West, played live with Jay-Z.

MAYER: What is being black? It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you’ll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude’s.

PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?

MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick.

PLAYBOY: Let’s put some names out there. Let’s get specific.

MAYER: I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, “Yeah, I sucked his dick. Whatever.” And you’d be like, “What? We weren’t talking about that.” That’s what “Heartbreak Warfare” is all about, when a girl uses jealousy as a tactic." (END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.

Can You Believe A 4 Yr Old Was Waterboarded For Not Learning The Alphabet?!!

Waterboarding a terrorist is not acceptable to me because I don't believe in torture. But after 9/11,I can understand why some folks felt they had to go to any length to obtain any information that might prevent another attack. It was about keeping America safe.

What was the torture of a 4-yr. old girl about? Well,a U.S. soldier decided that this would be the appropriate way to punish his daughter for not reciting her ABC's. A torturous investigative method that is used on evil brutes was utilized by a father as a form of discipline.Since this guy thought this was a good form of punishment,I believe that he should be tortured as well.

Here's more from The Huffington Post:

"A U.S. soldier is accused of holding his 4-year-old daughter's head upside-down underwater because she would not recite the alphabet, according to court documents.

Joshua Ryan Tabor, 27, was arrested Sunday, January 31, when police in Yelm, Wash. were responding to a domestic disturbance.

According to court documents, Tabor was "irate, intoxicated and walking around the neighborhood with his Kevlar helmet threatening to break windows." Tacoma News Tribune has more on the abuse:

Tabor spoke to a Yelm police officer and said that he and his girlfriend had "held her down on the counter and submerged her head into the water three or four times until the water came around her forehead and jawline." He said that she was face-up when her head was in the water. He added that they gave this punishment for the 4-year-old "refusing to say her letters."

Tabor told police that his daughter is afraid of water "and was squirming around trying to get away from the water. Joshua did not act as though he felt there was anything wrong with this form of punishment."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.
