Barry Bonds Can't Get Employed,So He Retired!

After what seemed to be much consideration,Barry Bonds has decided to give the ball up.He has retired from baseball.Now,for those baseball fans who thought that he was undeserving of his status because of his alleged steroid use,this is the day that they have been longing for.Others feel that a baseball great is leaving the field.

With his age & the scandal surrounding him playing a major factor in his continued unemployment,this seems to be the only move that Bonds could make.Here's more from Yahoo Sports:

"After 22 seasons in the major leagues, Barry Lamar Bonds' playing career has died.

It ended not with a home run — or even a strikeout — as it should be in baseball. Instead, it ends in semi-exile, without even a phone call to lift Bonds from the unemployment line.

His agent, Jeff Borris, told the San Francisco Chronicle as much Thursday, saying it's all-but impossible for the 45-year-old Bonds to find work heading into 2010.

From the Chronicle:

"It's two years since he played his last game, and if there was any chance he'd be back in a major-league uniform, it would have happened by now," Borris said. "When 2008 came around, I couldn't get him a job. When 2009 came around, I couldn't get him a job. Now, 2010 ... I'd say it's nearly impossible. It's an unfortunate ending to a storied career."

Storied? Oh, thought Borris said "steroid" there for a moment.

Sadly, steroids are what Bonds is remembered for. Not his 762 homers, or 14 All-Star Games or seven NL MVP awards. Well, fans remember all of that, too — just with a healthy injection of asterisks. And the cloud of an indictment that accuses Bonds of lying to a federal grand jury about knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

President Obama Accepted His Nobel Peace Prize Today!

Maybe the blue lights over Norway was a sign from God that he believes President Obama is worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.Okay,maybe that is a bit much because those lights are reported to have come from a Russian missile.But,then again.....

Seriously,I wonder why some folks say he has done nothing to deserve this prize.President Obama has done more to inspire the world's population than any president has in recent history.

He brings inspiration not only to Americans,but to people all over the globe.And Obama is a role model for so many African-Americans who lack one.Young black children now feel like they are truly a part of this great democratic society that we call the United States of America.

President Obama has left an indelible imprint on the minds of future generations.He is more than a great orator.If these impatient folks will just give him time,President Obama will prove to be a great leader.I believe that he has done a great job with all of the horrific baggage that the last administration left him with.No matter what his critics say.

But,even the critics had to agree.President Obama was in top form today when he gave his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.It was as "eloquent" as the man himself.

Here's more from The Christian Science Monitor:

"Liberal and conservative pundits both approve of Obama's Nobel Peace Prize speech. They like his humility and his realism.

f nothing else, the American punditocracy largely agreed on one aspect of President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize speech: that it was eloquent.

In offering a tutorial on just war theory, laid out in clear prose and compellingly delivered, Mr. Obama and his speechwriters showed once again that they know how to knock one out of the park.

But more noteworthy is the largely positive, or at least hopeful, tone of reaction across the political spectrum. From conservative former House speaker Newt Gingrich to writers at the liberal Nation magazine, the insta-analyses found hope in Obama’s words, either in his justification for the war in Afghanistan or in his ultimate aspiration: to replace war with peace.

“I thought the speech was actually very good,” Mr. Gingrich said on the WNYC radio’s The Takeaway. “And he clearly understood that he had been given the prize prematurely, but he used it as an occasion to remind people, first of all, as he said, that there is evil in the world.”

Devar Hurd Needs To Stop Stalking Singer Ashanti & Her Mom!

Devar Hurd is the Indiana man who has been accused of sending lewd & disgusting texts to Ashanti's mom.In them,he says,among other things,that he basically wants to bang Ashanti,her mother & little sister.Then,he sent some nasty,explicit photos because I guess he felt the need to illustrate his desire.

What a filthy bastard!

Here's more on this stalker from The NY Daily News:

"Singing star Ashanti has a creepy stalker - an Indiana salesman who has bombarded her mother with lewd text messages and gross, X-rated pictures, prosecutors said.

Devar Hurd, 31, is accused of stalking and harassing Tina Douglas with 32 messages between May 29 and July 18 and numerous phone calls in February.

He was arrested July 22 in Griffith, Ind., where he lives, and has been locked up at Rikers Island since.

He pleaded not guilty and faces possible trial in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday.

The messages he sent were bizarrely personal and often explicit and included sex acts he wanted to perform on the mother and her daughters, court papers say.

"Hey Tina baby, how u doing sexy," read a May 29 message. "Tell Shani I'm coming straight home from work to put in sum overtime. U know how I do, LOL."

He also sent revealing pictures of himself, photos of Douglas' home and a picture of Ashanti's car, the documents said.

"Here's a pic I had laying around for the ladies in sum of my birthday suit lol," read a text sent May 30, court documents charge.

After a particularly crude message, Hurd wrote, "Oh ashanti ashanti ashanti, yes baby woooo."

Ashanti's publicist, Judy Katz, said she had no comment. "The authorities are handling the matter as we speak," she said.
