I Hope That Jesse Jackson Jr. Is Not Implicated In The Blagojevich Pay-For-Play Scheme!

Everyone is speculating about who candidate 5 could be in the Blagojevich scandal! You know that Illinois Gov.Blagojevich was arrested today for planning to sell Obama's Senate seat,right? And we all know how much Jesse Jackson,Jr. wanted to fill that vacant slot.So, is he the one that Blagojevich wanted something "tangible" from if he gave him the Senate seat? Here's more conjecture from Marc Ambinder on this subject:

"Later on December 4, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke to Fundraiser A. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated he was "elevating" Senate Candidate 5 on the list of candidates for the open Senate seat. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated he might be able to cut a deal with
Senate Candidate 5 that provided ROD BLAGOJEVICH with something
"tangible up front." ROD BLAGOJEVICH noted he was going to meet with
Senate Candidate 5 in the next few days."


The only candidate with whom Blagojevich met within that period was Jesse Jackson, Jr.

The narrative of the complaint goes on to allege that Blagojevich attempt to extract something tangible from Candidate 5 in order to secure the appointment.

The charging document does NOT say that Candidate 5 himself did anything wrong or knew about the alleged offering by associates."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here:

The Foreclosure Madness Has Now Engulfed Fantasia Barrino, The American Idol Winner!!!

I feel so sorry for Fantasia Barrino because it must be hard to have your business all over the internet. She has become the latest celebrity to fall victim to foreclosure,according to MTO.I don't know why these folks don't just pay for their homes upfront, but I guess I should refrain from talking about that. The good Lord knows how much money that I have mismanaged myself. But then again,I've never raked in the amount of dough that celebrities do.

Damn,ya'll! If celebrities are getting slammed by this economy,what's a broke ass girl like me gonna do? Huh? But anyway, here's your girl at Mr. Chows with Young Dro in this video.They broke up back in September & now she's losing her home in December. The holidays just ain't looking that merry for Fantasia Barrino.

Ghanaians Are Anxious To See Which Party The New President Will Emerge From!

The 2008 U.S. election had the country really excited about who their new leader was going to be. In Ghana, they are feeling just as anxious about finding who their new president is as we were over a month ago. And right now, the discovery of offshore oil there as generated international interest in the results. Here's more from Reuters:

"The discovery of offshore oil, which Britain's Tullow Oil plans to start pumping out at a rate of 120,000 barrels per day in late 2010, has raised international attention on the poll. But the global slowdown means celebrations may be delayed.

"Although there is "everything to play for' in terms of oil, the economic reality is that 2009 will be a difficult year in which to manage the economy," Razia Khan, Africa research head at Standard Chartered Bank, said in a note to investors.

"Observers suggest that it is precisely because of the common economic ground between the two leading parties that the election will be close, and a run-off in the presidential election cannot be ruled out," Khan said.

Kufuor's center-right government has pursued market-friendly policies that have helped Ghana's economy grow by more than 5 percent annually in recent years.

But many Ghanaians say the increased wealth -- visible in the plush residential developments and luxury cars in the capital Accra -- have passed them by.

"We want the new government to provide jobs. They should give us better schools, better health facilities," jobless Derrick Agbanyo, 28, said as he waited to vote in Accra."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE4B60FP20081207
