More on Mr. 9-9-9 on 11-11-11

Today is Veterans Day, and every one of you reading this should take a minute or two to think about the men and women who have served this country.

The field has mad respect for all of them.

The field doesn't have any respect for Herman Cain. I don't know what really went on between him and those women, but his flip and cavalier attitude about this entire scandal (even using it to raise money) has been disgusting to watch.

He is like a character from a seventies black exploitation film. (I keep seeing him in that big hat that he likes to wear) All that's missing is the Courvoisier and a velvet covered love seat.

And now he is cracking jokes about Anita Hill:

"Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain — facing allegations of sexual harassment — is defending a joke he made about Anita Hill.

Cain said Friday he was approached at a recent event by a supporter who said Hill was trying to contact him.   

“And my response was ‘Is she going to endorse me?’” Cain said in an interview Friday on WGDJ-AM Albany, N.Y.

“He said it in a humorous way. I gave back a humorous response. It was in no way intended to be an insult toward Anita Hill or anybody else,” Cain said." [Source]

Herman seems to like to joke a lot. I guess that's why conservatives love him so much. There is nothing like a black man who likes to joke jig and laugh to keep some A-merry-cans entertained. There is one in every crowd. Sorry Herman, being president is no laughing matter. These are  serious f*&^%*g times!

I am not laughing with your simple behind, and I am pretty sure that most A-merry-cans echo that sentiment. Still, there are a lot of things you do that makes me want to laugh at you. Your 9-9-9 plan comes to mind. And the fact that you didn't realize that China has nuclear capabilities when in fact they have had it for over forty years. That one had me in stitches.

Meanwhile, two of the so called serious candidates in the republican primary were in New Hampshire demonstrating to the rest of us how they would lead our country.

"Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum participated in the Granite State Patriot’s Constitutional Conversation Thursday night, where the two were not short on criticism of President Obama’s interpretation of the constitution.

“What’s the biggest constitutional failing of the Obama administration?” the moderator asked Santorum. The crowd laughed as Santorum scratched his head for a moment with a perplexed look.

“This is going to be a much longer debate now,” Gingrich said.
“
Gingrich paused and said, “Not understanding which country he’s president of.”
The crowd erupted with applause and gave the only standing ovation of the night to Gingrich’s comment. Santorum followed up by saying “Obamacare.”....

..The discussion then turned to the role of religion in the constitution in relation to a civic society. Gingrich asked Santorum asked what steps he would take to create a virtuous society.

“I was in a church in Iowa and I walked into a conclave of pastors. The pastor was up there preaching revival, and in many respects that’s true, American needs a revival of the principles that made America the greatest country in the history of the world,” Santorum said." [Source]

"Preaching revivial"? A revival of what? Jobs? No. Decent health care? No. A better educational system? No. Better environmental protections? No. "The principles that made America the greatest country in the history of the world". Oh, well if you put it that way; let us all pray.

Penn State fires a legend, republican gaffes, and frat mobs run wild.

Drip; drip; drip; the hits just keep coming from "Happy Valley".  JoePa is gone. He tried to leave on his own terms, but the board of trustees wasn't trying to hear it. You are gone Joe! Thanks for the memories.

And let's take a little time out to give some credit to a real journalist out there, Mark Madden; the guy had this thing all figured out back in April. And now he has an even scarier message about what possibly went on at Penn State.

Pimping out young boys to wealthy donors??!! Lord please make this story not be true.

I watched the republican debate last night. And I know that everyone is talking about Mr. Big Hair's YouTube moment, (How can you not remember the name of an agency that you want to get rid of?)  but he wasn't the only one who messed up his lines.

Herman called former speaker Pelosi "Princess Nancy", (I didn't find it all that offensive, but apparently quite a few people took offense and saw the statement as being sexist) and he had to apologize.

And Flipper Mitt wanted us to know that he is not a "flip-flopper" because he has been married to the same woman for 42 years...oh wait, he flip-flopped on that as well:

 “I have been married to the same woman for 25 — excuse me, I will get in trouble, for 42 years. I have been in the same church my entire life,” added Mr. Romney. “I worked at one company, Bain, for 25 years. And I left that to go off and help save the Olympic Games.." [Source] 

Mitt, there is a big difference between 25 and 42. But we get it; you have a lot on your mind. It's not easy to keep up with all those ideological shifts. I just hope that your wife is not like the lovely Mrs. Field.

These republicans better stop debating. I just saw the latest Gallup poll and his Oness leads the generic republican by a percentage point. He was actually down by as much as eight points last month. I think the more A-merry-ca sees of these clowns is the less likely they are to vote for one of them.

Finally, did everyone see the Frat Mob up at Penn State last night? Those kids were turning over news vans and destroying property all because Penn State fired a man who might have helped to cover up the crimes of a child rapist. Nice.

But not all mobs are created equal. The kids in these mobs were more well educated and...well, nicer. At least they looked nicer. They were so....white. Unlike the hooligans who ran wild in urban A-merry-ca this past summer. They looked so mean and so......well, black. At least these kids aren't "ignorant and stupid" like those "byproducts of sperm donors". Ain't that right Mayor Nutter?

Republicans are debating...zzzzzz, it's getting really ugly in "Happy Valley", and black people and their money.

I am trying to watch the republican debates, but I have a feeling that it's going to be just like the other debates with more of the same: blah blah blah, elect me and I will blah blah blah.

Wait, someone just asked Herman about his alleged inappropriate behavior with different women. Booooooo!!!  Herman seems mad about that question, and he says that his character is above reproach. Yeaaahh! Carry on folks, I think I will watch "Survivor: South Pacific".

Man this Penn State stuff won't go away. And it shouldn't. Not until we get to the bottom of this scandal. (We are up to victim number 9) Like the rest of you, I want to know who knew what and when. And I want to know why Jerry Sandusky was allowed to hang around that campus and be a part of a charity where he had contact with young boys for years after Penn State officials knew that he had a problem. I want to know what really happened to a Centre County DA who almost prosecuted Sandusky, and who went missing a few years ago.

JoPa has said that he is finally retiring after forever, and the President of the University could be gone by the time I finish writing this post. Is it enough? Only time will tell.

Finally, I see that you Negroes in A-merry-ca will have over a trillion dollars in buying power by 2015. That's a lot of money. Sadly, I am afraid that most of that money will be used to buy things that you Negroes really don't need. And you sure as hell will not be investing or keeping that money in your community. (Dollars flee the hood like white people. As soon as you get it it's gone. Why is that?) There are folks out here talking about black entrepreneurship and making sure that blacks take part in the new innovation economy. Those entrepreneurs need money.  

Come on people, let's keep some of those trillions among ourselves. Your neighborhoods, not to mention your own families, will be better off in the long run.

Cover up?

It's a sad day in "Happy Valley" and for the rest of white hat nation. So now we know that Penn State's venerable coach knew as far back as 1999 that his former defensive coordinator might have been acting in an  inappropriate manner with little boys.

We also know that in 2002, then grad assistant, Mike McQueary, actually saw the same former defensive coordinator engaged in a sexual act with a ten year old child in a PSU locker room and reported it to Joe Paterno after calling his father.

Paterno reported the incident to his handpicked Athletic Director, (another one of his myrmidons who surrounds the campus) and they told the alleged pedophile to stop using the university's facilities.

I read the grand jury report today, and the charges are absolutely disgusting. The folks at Penn State should be ashamed of themselves if children were allowed to be raped in order to protect the legacy of Joe Paterno and his football program.

The fact that the Centre County District Attorney sat on this case for a couple of of weeks,---- allowing Paterno to pass Eddie Robinson to become the all time winning coach in Division 1 football, also makes me wonder.

But this is bigger than football. We are talking about the alleged rape of children by a man who could have been stopped years ago, but who was allowed to allegedly continue because a great institution and football program had to be protected at all cost. And what about those hypocrites at the NCAA? We sanction a school and fire its coach for allowing football players to get free tattoos. So what do we do with a football program that possibly covers up sexual assaults on children?

We will be watching.

Now Penn State is thinking about letting Paterno go, because, as the saying goes; the s*&^ has hit the fan.

We all can't help but wonder how long this would have gone on if the Centre County District Attorney's office didn't decide to press charges against the alleged pedophile and school officials.

Joe Paterno was to give a press conference today, but the university canceled it because they didn't want Joe talking right now. Too much is at stake. There are assets to protect. Folks are talking about civil suits against Pennsylvania's flag ship university. So, just like the Catholic Church, they are "circling the wagons". And clearly they care more about protecting Penn State University and not the lives of innocent children.

"Hundreds of fans staged a raucous rally outside Paterno's home Tuesday evening. He appeared briefly, along with some family members, and thanked the crowd for coming.

"I've lived for this place. I've lived for people like you guys and girls," Paterno said.

"It's hard for me to say how much this means," the 84-year-old coach said.

"As you know, the kids that were the victims, I think we ought to say a prayer for them."

No Joe, I think that we should say a prayer for you. Right after the University fires you and everyone who had anything to do with this terrible affair.  

Finally, let me talk about another Joe.

Today as I sat in my office looking at an autographed picture of "Smokin Joe", I thought about the fact that he was the first Philly icon that I met after moving here some 19 years ago. He was friendly, down to earth, and accessible to everyone.

I remember telling him that I actually cheered for Ali in their first fight and he threw a shadow jab at me. I also told him that it was a disgrace that Philly didn't have a statue of him but had one of Rocky, a fictional fighter. I remember him laughing about it and saying that maybe one day the city would come around.  

Well, now that he is gone, let's hope that we honor him with a statue sooner rather than later. He would have liked that. 

  





     

Did you hear the one about the blond and the pizza man?

Those of you who put your money on the fact that Herman tried to hook up with  missy can go ahead and collect.

Sorry Herman, but I think that your poll numbers are going to drop faster than your pants would have if missy had promised to play put the sausage on the pizza with you.

"I want you to come clean Mr. Cain," Bialek told a packed audience at the Friar's Club in New York City.

"Just admit what you did, admit that you were inappropriate to people," Bialek said while standing alongside her lawyer, celebrity legal eagle Gloria Allred.

Cain's campaign immediately shot back that Bialek's allegations were "completely false," and said they were focused on the economic issues facing the country.

Bialek, a Republican, said she had met the charismatic Cain at several restaurant association events.

She said Cain was charming and attentive to both her and her boyfriend at these events, so when she was fired from her job, her boyfriend suggested Bialek reach out to Cain.

Cain agreed to meet her, so Bialek said she traveled to Washington.

Since she had no job, Bialek said her boyfriend booked her a room at the Capitol Hilton. She expected a no-frills room — and was was stunned at the lavish suite she was given, and thought it was some kind of mistake.

She called Cain to let him know she had arrived, and he told her meet him in the lobby bar at 6:30 p.m. that evening in July, 1997.

"He asked me how I liked my room," Bialek said. "I said 'I was very surprised.'"

Cain "smirked" and said "I upgraded you."

He then took her out for dinner at an Italian restaurant and he asked "Why are you here?"

Bialek said she told him she had been fired from her job and that her boyfriend suggested Cain might be able to help her.

After dinner, Bialek and Cain got into his car, she said. He offered to show her the restaurant association's offices. But instead of going to headquarters, Cain parked the car.

"He suddenly reached over and he put his hand on my leg, under my skirt and reached for my genitals," Bialek said.

"He grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch," she claimed.

"What are you doing...I have a boyfriend," Bialek remembered saying.

She said Cain's answer stunned her.

"You want a job, right?" Bialek recounted.

She said she told him to stop, which he did, and take her back to the hotel, which he did.

She then told her boyfriend at the time, and a businessman who was a friend and mentor, that Cain was sexually inappropriate."

Herman, I guess blonds don't always have more fun. [Story]

So now it will begin. We will hear what a liar this woman is, how she is a plant for the democrats, and how desperate she is for money, etc. etc. 

Then again, maybe not.  Because the thing that those of us familiar with how "color arousal" works in A-merry-ca have been saying all along, that would actually cook Herman's goose, is the color of his accusers. That color, of course, being....you know. 

Herman, I have some bad news for you: Yes, A-merry-ca loves their house Negroes, but, sadly for you, they love missy even more. Never forget that Herman: all the jigging in the  world can't buy you a sexually harass missy pass.

Finally, I am glad that another circus of a trial in L.A. is finally over. The good Doc is guilty, and he might have to spend some time behind bars. They cuffed him up right there at the bar of the court for all the world to see. I hope his lawyers had prepared him for that. Maybe they did. He didn't look too surprised.  

Outside people were cheering and I have to wonder why. Unless you were a Jackson family member, you had no business cheering this verdict. The good doc should take some responsibility for Jackson's death, but so should Jackson himself, and all the enablers (including other doctors, health care professionals, and family members) who contributed to Jackson moon walking right out of our lives.

Conrad Murray is an easy scapegoat; we have to blame somebody, because it's so hard for us to blame ourselves. But we are responsible for Jackson's death as well. Why? Because we are a part of this twisted culture that worships celebrity and puts unrealistic expectations on mere mortals to satisfy our own sick need to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. And when it all goes wrong we get some kind of sick pleasure and twisted enjoyment in watching the pain it brings to others.

Conrad Murray was on the receiving end of that today; he deserved it because he placed himself smack dab in the middle of the drama. We, on the other hand, just watched the drama play itself out. And judging from what I saw outside that courtroom today we enjoyed every sad morbid minute of it.      

    

  

Laughing at life.

Whenever someone tells you that tough sentencing and jails, as well as crafty social engineering will stop the problems of crime that we have in this country, please consider the following story:

"Joking and smiling at the families of their victims, cousins Malik and Anthony Collins were each sentenced to two consecutive life prison terms today for their convictions in a 2006 drug-related double murder in Brewerytown.

"Later, Ma. It's all cool," said Malik Collins, 23, and broke into loud laughter as a sheriff's deputy led him from the courtroom of Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina.

Minutes later, Anthony Collins, 27, met the same fate although not before a sister of victim Johnny Harmon excoriated him in a victim-impact statement to the judge.

"You don't have blood," said Twanda Harmon, said in a loud voice to Collins. "You have ice running in your veins. You're a punk, a punk, and I hope you die."
Collins, handcuffed on the table, sat next to defense attorney Samuel C. Stretton and grinned at Harmon through most of her angry words.
Neither cousin said anything before Sarmina sentenced them to the life sentences with no chance of parole.

The Collinses were each convicted of two counts of first-degree murder last Wednesday by a jury of six men and six women in the March 18, 2006 killings of rival drug dealer Johnny Harmon, 39, and Harmon's girlfriend, Latoya Bostick, 18.

The death penalty had been withdrawn after one of the Collinses was shown to be mentally retarded and conducting separate trial would have been too problematic.

For Malik Collins, the convictions were the third and fourth consecutive life terms he will serve; he was convicted of two 2005 murders in 2008, according to court records.

Because of the mandatory life terms, neither Stretton nor defense attorney Michael E. Wallace, representing Malik Collins, presented testimony in their behalfs.

Both asked that the life terms be made concurrent to each other but Sarmina made them consecutive.

The judge also ordered Malik Collins to pay a total of $5,099 in restitution for the funeral costs of the two victims, and Anthony Collins $2,673. The money will come from whatever the cousins earn from prison jobs.

At trial, Assistant District Attorney Brian Zarallo presented testimony that the Collinses worked as enforcers for a violent Brewerytown drug gang known as "Thompson University," after a neighborhood street.

Harmon and some associates began selling drugs nearby in the 1200 block of Dover Street and the Thompson gang decided to remove the competition, Zarallo said.

About 11 p.m. on March 18, 2006, Zarallo said, Harmon and Bostick were in his silver pickup truck parked on Dover near Thompson when the Collinses approached and fired more than a dozen shots at the pair, killing them.
Zarallo said Bostick was an "innocent bystander and her only crime was that she liked Johnny Harmon." [Story]

There are a lot of Malik and Anthony Collins type dudes living in Philly. Consecutive life sentences mean nothing to them. And they wouldn't give a second thought to taking a life. Yours. Mine. A family member. A drug rival. It's just another life.

They laugh at a life sentence behind bars because their own life is worth nothing to them in the first place. Living for the moment, flashing bling, and chasing the next moment of instant gratification is all they live for. Death before thirty would have been the norm. Living past thirty is to be celebrated, even if it is living while locked away in a state correctional institution with maximum supervision.

Freedom is only valuable if they can be free on their sick demented terms. The rest of us be damned.

Sadly, this story is not so unusual. I have seen young bucks laughing in courtrooms after being sentenced before. I used to think that it was not a real laugh, that it was more like nervous laughter to mask fear, and to keep up a facade of toughness. I don't think so anymore. The ones who laugh out of nervousness are few and far between. The ones who laugh because it is truly what they are feeling emotionally are numerous.

I watched a guy get sentence to five years once, and he turned around and winked at his mom and girlfriend and told them that he would be home soon, that he wanted them to "hold it down" while he was away. They tearfully told him that they would, and that they would be up to see him every chance they got. His girl was pregnant and his mother couldn't have been more than forty years old.

He wasn't laughing, but if he was, I think I could see why.  



   







 

White hats, Smokin Joe, and a few other things.

Oh ohhh, this is not good news for "white hat" nation:

"A former defensive coordinator who was integral for decades to Penn State's success in football was accused Saturday of sexually abusing eight boys, and the school's athletic director and an administrator were charged with perjury and failing to report what they knew about the allegations in a case that prosecutors said uncovered a years-long trail of a predator and those who protected him.

Former coach Jerry Sandusky, 67, of State College, was arrested Saturday and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts, the state attorney general's office said. Athletic director Tim Curley, 57, and Penn State vice president for finance and business Gary Schultz, 62, both of Boalsburg, were expected to turn themselves in Monday in Harrisburg. Schultz's position includes oversight of the university's police department.

Longtime head coach Joe Paterno, who has more victories than any coach in the history of Division I football, was not charged, authorities said, and the grand jury report did not appear to implicate him in wrongdoing. It said that when Paterno first learned of one report of abuse, he immediately reported it to Curley, but Sandusky was no longer coaching at the time and it's not clear whether Paterno followed up with Curley." [Story]

Oh well, I guess you just never know about folks. It seems that one of the last clean programs in A-merry-ca wasn't so clean after all.  

Staying with the sports theme, I just found out that my man Joe Frazier has liver cancer and is very ill. Philly's real Rocky is cool people, and he deserved so much more from the city he loves so much. Seriously, where the f&^% is his statue?!

I just hope that "Smokin Joe" can hang in there for a few more rounds.

A couple of other things:

Andy Rooney is dead at 92.

I bet most of you reading this have never heard of Jahessye Shockley.

And, once again, the folks over at the Innocence Project have helped people who were wrongfully convicted go free.  

"Chicago, November 3, 2011) After DNA testing linked a rapist to the 1991 rape and murder of a 14-year-old southwest suburban girl, a Cook County Circuit Court judge today set aside the convictions of three men who were convicted of the crime by confessions now known to be false. Robert Taylor, James Harden and Jonathan Barr, all of whom were teenagers when arrested, are represented by the University of Chicago’s Exoneration Project, the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth with private attorney Jennifer Blagg and the Innocence Project.

In court today, the State’s Attorney’s Office noted that it would be filing papers soon to vacate the convictions of Robert Lee Veal and Shainne Sharp who were also wrongfully convicted of the crime.

“This is one of the most tragic miscarriages of justice that we’ve seen in this state and perhaps the nation. Even before they were convicted, the state had DNA evidence proving that the confessions were false, yet it chose to go forward with the prosecutions in spite of this evidence and over the objections of a juvenile court judge,” said Tara Thompson of the UChicago Law School Exoneration Project. “This destroyed the lives of these young men while the real perpetrator was allowed to go free, destroying even more lives during a 20-year crime spree.”

On November 19, 1991, Cateresa Matthews, a 14-year-old student at Rosa Parks Middle School in Dixmoor, IL, went missing. Her body was discovered 19 days later on a footpath in a residential neighborhood near Interstate 57 in Dixmoor. She had been raped and shot in the mouth. Nearly a year after the murder, the Illinois State Police interrogated Veal, a 15-year-old student from the same school. After 5 hours in police custody, Veal signed a written statement implicating himself, Taylor (15), Barr (15), Harden (17) and Sharp (17). After 4 hours in custody, Taylor also signed a written confession. Two days later, after 21 hours in custody, Sharp did the same.

In June 1994, before any of the teenagers were tried, the Illinois State Police crime lab identified a lone male DNA profile from sperm recovered from the victim’s body. Even though all 5 defendants were excluded as the source of the semen, the prosecution pushed forward rather than seeking the source of the semen recovered from this young victim. Based on doubts about the truthfulness of the confessions, a juvenile court judge refused to charge Barr and Taylor in adult criminal court, a decision later reversed by an appellate court. Veal and Sharp pled guilty to first-degree murder and received a 20-year sentence (they were eligible for release just 7 years from the date of their pleas) in exchange for agreeing to testify against Harden, Barr and Taylor. Over the next 2 years, all 3 were convicted, and each was sentenced to at least 80 years in prison. All subsequent appeals were denied, including a post-conviction request for DNA testing."

Just another reason not to have the death penalty in this country.

   

    

Herman, and now Keith.

So the Herman Cain drama continues, and his conservative peeps are standing by their man. Herman has been telling anyone who will listen that he did not flirt or act inappropriately with that woman.

That woman's attorney, Joel Bennett, was on CNN today telling the world that his client stands by her accusations, and that Mr.9-9-9 knew exactly what he did.
(Poor Mr. Bennett says that he has been getting all kinds of nasty e-mails and phone threats from those God fearing conservatives since the scandal broke.) 

Mrs. Cain, bless her heart, has been standing by her man as well. But there is just so much a spouse can take.  

"Herman Cain's wife, Gloria Cain, has remained out of the spotlight throughout his presidential campaign. And now comes news that she has canceled a scheduled appearance on Fox News, the New York Times reports:

Ms. Cain had indicated to the network earlier in the week that she would appear on "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" tomorrow night, but apparently had a change of heart. The person familiar with the talks, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations, said that Ms. Cain did not entirely close the door on appearing on the network some time in the future." [Source]

Oh oh Herman, it might be time tighten up on the home front. At some point you are going to have to make an appearance with the Mrs by your side, if she is not there, it won't be a good look for you.

Sadly, Herman isn't the only brother facing sexual harassment complaints thee days in A-merry-ca. Over at ESPN a powerful television executive is also facing charges of acting in an inappropriate manner.
 

[Keith Clinkscales] "The former ESPN executive who filed a pre-emptive lawsuit denying he fondled himself on an airplane while sitting next to sports reporter Erin Andrews -[*in pic with this post] hours before the website Deadspin actually reported the allegation - had to move quickly to protect his reputation, his attorney told the Daily News on Thursday.

Judd Burstein, a lawyer for former ESPN vice-president , said he filed the

defamation suit against ESPN employee Joan Lynch, ensuring that the allegations would become public, because the fondling allegation is “ludicrous” and, he said, because Deadspin is not a credible news source.

That’s all I have to say.”

"We have no comment on the lawsuit,” said ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz. “With respect to these reports, we want to state very clearly that in accordance with ESPN policies, if a claim is brought to our attention, it is taken very seriously and responded to appropriately.”

“She should not have done what she did,” Burstein said of Lynch. “She shouldn’t be able to get away with this.”

Deadspin has a long history of reporting on boorish behavior by ESPN executives and on-air personalities, and Burstein said that was a factor in his decision to file the suit.

“That was factored into the equation, the lack of respect in the sports world for Deadspin,” he said. “If the allegation had come from a credible New York newspaper, I would have taken a different tact.”

When The News contacted Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio, the author of the Clinkscales post, for comment, he said: “Oscar De La Hoya. That’s my comment.

Burstein led a ferocious legal and public relations attack on a stripper named Milana Dravnel, De La Hoya’s former lover. When their affair ended in late 2007, she tried to sell photos of the boxer wearing fishnet stockings and women’s underwear. Dravnel filed a $25 million slander suit against De La Hoya, but later dropped the case, claiming she had been intimidated by the boxer and his entourage.

In an interview with Univision in September, however, De La Hoya acknowledged the pictures were real.

The defamation suit Burstein filed on Clinkscale’s behalf in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday says Lynch conducted a smear campaign against his client, falsely claiming that he had fondled himself while sitting next to Andrews on a March 2011 flight. Lynch also lied when she told ESPN colleagues that Clinkscales assaulted her in a production truck in 2007, according to the lawsuit, which seeks in excess of $75,000 in damages.

Deadspin has not confirmed or denied that Lynch, who will lose her job in January because the content development department once led by Clinkscales has been eliminated, was the anonymous source.

The lawsuit was filed hours before Deadspin posted a report that quoted an anonymous source who said Clinkscales, sitting in an aisle seat on a airplane, had fondled himself while sitting next to Andrews.

“It if had happened, there would have been witnesses,” Burstein said. “He would have been arrested.”

Burstein also said Lynch lied when she claimed Clinkscales assaulted her in 2007. Deadspin reported the incident took place in front of numerous witnesses. “The fact that the story has not surfaced even though there are witnesses is ludicrous,” Burstein said.

The lawsuit claims Lynch, who is white, has engaged in a smear campaign against Clinkscales, an African-American, because she believed he was not qualified for his job and felt that she should have been promoted to the position.

“Driven by this racial animus and sense of entitlement,” said the suit, “Lynch was routinely insubordinate to Plaintiff. Worse, still, she was at time incompetent.” [Source]

Sorry Mr. Clinkscales, you are on your own with this one. Unless, of course, you happen to be a conservative.

 

"Spare the rod..."

Some of you Negroes watching that video of a Texas judge (Where else?) putting a Kunta slave master style beat down on his daughter, are probably thinking, what's the big deal?

A-merry-cans are losing their minds. How can a parent beat his child like that? It's an outrage! He should be arrested! Sheeeet. Some of you Negroes were watching that video and probably saying: I wish my [insert adult figure here] had whopped me like that. If they had I would have been acting up every damn day.

But I swear, some of you Negroes can be so violent. Yes, what some of you went through is actually called child abuse. This might have been abuse as well, because the judge's daughter was disabled at the time. So save your e-mails, I am not condoning what this judeg did to his then 16 year old daughter.

Still, many of you Negroes are now highly respected professionals in your communities with families of your own, so apparently that paddle belts to your behinds worked. Even the poor young lady in this video turned out alright. Hell, she played Carnegie Hall for crying out loud!

Oh well, too late to prosecute daddy now. -That whole statute of limitations thing. Girlfriend waited too long to release the tape. I am guessing that that she knew what she was doing. She wanted to send daddy a message, but she didn't want him locked up.

I am so glad that republicans have their priorities right in Washington. Instead of working on getting folks back to work, they are busy voting to reaffirm that "In God We Trust" motto we cherish so much here in A-merry-ca.

Sorry,I have to go with O on this one:

"In a speech touting his $447 billion American Jobs Act in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Obama jabbed, "I trust in God, but God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work."

He then called out House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) by name.

"If Congress tells you they don't have time, they have time to do it," remarked the President.

"What have you guys been debating, John? You've been debating a commemorative coin for baseball. You have legislation reaffirming that "In God We Trust" is our motto. That's not putting people back to work," he added.

Democrats say the GOP is unwilling to pass President Obama's jobs bill because it would provide him with a political victory — and, potentially, an improved economic climate that would aid his re-election bid.

Republicans claim that they won't pass Obama's bill because it's the wrong solution to the nation's problems. They also said the vote didn't eat up much time and that they have brought up several jobs creation bills that the Democrat-controlled Senate has stalled.

The House voted 396-9 on Tuesday to reaffirm the national motto and urged its display in public schools and government buildings after Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) introduced it.

Forbes argued that the resolution was necessary to remind Obama and other public officials who have occasionally forgotten the motto put in place in the 1950s.

"Unfortunately, there are a number of public officials who forget what the national motto is, whether intentionally or unintentionally," jabbed Forbes, pointing out that about a year ago the president was in Indonesia and mistakenly said America's motto was "E pluribus unum," meaning "out of many, one."

When asked if the president invoking God in the jobs legislation battle was "a bit much,” Obama spokesman Carney said the president meant "we have it within our capacity to do the things to help the American people."

He added, "I believe the phrase from the Bible is, 'The lord helps those who help themselves.’" [Source]

Carney is way too kind. No it's not "a bit much", because republicans in Washington are f&^%$#g insane! Voting to reafirm "In God We Trust"?

 

 

And yet everyone of those clowns voted against a jobs bill today. I bet God doesn't trust them. And, honestly, I wouldn't blame her if she didn't.   

 

 

Finally, like many of you fellows, I always felt that there was a little man down there with a life of its own trying to get out. Now I think I know why:

"Doctors at a Canadian hospital found a shocking image staring right back at them as they were scanning the testicles of a 45-year-old paraplegic man. The image of one of the testicles, shown above, looks like a man's face grimaced in agony.

"It was very ghoulish, like a man screaming in pain," Dr. Naji Touma of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario told The Toronto Star. "His mouth was open and it looked like one eye was gouged out."

The image, taken in 2009, was sent to the medical journal "Urology," and was recently published with the headline, "The face of testicular pain: A surprising ultrasound finding." [Story] 

The poor guy is a "paraplegic". I guess that man down there is screaming out louder than ever.

   

"The Ladies Man"

Oh Lawd Herman! And then there was three.

Herman, for your sake, I sure hope that these ain't no white women you were messing with; because,if it is, your goose is pretty much cooked.

It's one thing to sexually harass a sister (just ask poor Anita Hill), you can always get away with that. A-merry-ca  doesn't care too much about sisters. Unless, of course, they happen to be taking care of our children. But sexually harassing a white woman, Herman, would turn even your conservative friends against you.  

Poor Herman, now he is even snapping at reporters. If only the world was just one big FOX NEWS studio.

"Cain got testy with reporters at a campaign stop in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday, when they pelted him with questions about allegations that he sexually harassed at least two employees while he was president of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. Cain has denied any wrongdoing.

"Don't even bother asking me all these other questions that you all are curious about, OK?" Cain said as he left a meeting in Virginia. "Don't even bother."
It wasn't two seconds before a reporter launched into a line of questioning about the harassment allegations.

"What did I say?" Cain, who was flanked by aides and bodyguards, interrupted.
The reporter kept asking.

"Excuse me," Cain said. "Excuse me!"

"What part of no don't some people understand?" he said to himself as he walked away." [Story]

Fortunately for Mr. Cain, the field was not one of those reporters: 

"Mr. Cain, were any of the women you allegedly harassed, white?"

I bet that would have gotten a really hard stare from Mr. 9-9-9.

Condi would be mad at me for asking that question. Condi doesn't like the race card much.

"Former Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice says Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain should not bring his race into play when he deals with criticism.

Rice, a Republican, was interviewed Tuesday for a segment that aired Wednesday on the CBS "Early Show."

"I actually am someone who doesn't believe in playing the race card on either side. I've seen it played, by the way, on the other side quite a lot too. And it's not good for the country," Rice told CBS' Norah O'Donnell.

Rice says she feels the same way about those on the left who defend President Barack Obama from criticism." [Source] 

I hear you Condi, and I really didn't want to go that route. But Herman and his friends have been playing that card from the top -and the bottom- of the deck a lot lately.

Of course this all leads me to believe that we are talking about white women. Just think about it; if we were talking about sisters, I bet old Herman would have come clean a long time ago.

"Yes, I made some sexual comments to her, but she was flirting with me." Oh, well if you put it that way Mr. Cain. I suppose it all makes sense. Those black women are such sexual creatures."

So we wait. Because it won't be long before, like Tiger's women, they will all come out of the wood work.

I am taking bets.



 

Her blacks are better.

Most of us black folks in A-merry-ca know that we don't fit into a certain narrative that some folks have of their beloved country. We are here but we don't really belong. "If only they could have picked their own damn cotton".. that kind of thing.

To some blacks folks, on the other hand, that kind of talk is bordering on blasphemy.

"If the master’s house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, “What’s the matter, boss, we sick?” We sick! He identified himself with his master more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, “Let’s run away, let’s escape, let’s separate,” the house Negro would look at you and say, “Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?” That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a “house nigger.” And that’s what we call him today, because we’ve still got some house niggers running around here."

Yes Malcolm we do. And the folks in the house just love him. In fact, the folks in the house believe that their Negro is special.

“That’s why our blacks are so much better than their blacks,” Coulter said. “To become a black Republican you don’t just roll into it. You’re not going with the flow. You have fought against probably your family members, probably your neighbors, you have thought everything out and that’s why we have very impressive blacks in our party.” [Source]

I Love the possessive tone there Ms. Coulter. "Our blacks". I am sure that Herman and his friends are proud of the fact that they are your blacks as well.
I just bet that there is no other place that they would want to be than with you.

What poor Herman and his friends will never understand is that folks like Ann Coulter and her friends on the right will never truly see him [or others who look like him] as equals. "Our blacks are so much better than their blacks"? WTF? I guess we should call it a "Freudian slip" because it is so revealing.  

Still, Ann and her friends are rallying around their black guy, Herman Cain, and they see his latest troubles as just another case of those evil liberals piling on. (BTW, I agree with Roland Martin. Can we stop with the high tech lynching talk? Herman is not being lynched. His dumb ass is being exposed for the lying fraud that he is. This is a lynching.) It is not. But it's funny to see Coulter -and folks like her- playing the race card. I guess this is what happens when you mess with one of her Negroes.

Finally, I am disappointed with his O ness and his administration for saying no to the legalization of the collie weed. I certainly hope that they will reconsider their position.

Actually, after seeing that Rick Perry video from New Hampshire, I am starting to think that he might be our guy on the legalization front. From the looks of it my man lit up a big fat one right before he took the stage.
