Really Philly?

Many moons ago I discussed my disgust for Philly! It came from watching the show Parking Wars. It seemed that drivers were doomed in Philly. If they weren't booting your car for parking in front of your own home, they were impounding your car and giving you the run-around to get it back. Now there is the situation with the kids swimming and now the police officers. Some Philly police officers have filed a lawsuit on the grounds that an officer started a website that caters to racist cops and citizens. The Caucasian officers post racist comments about blacks and then come to work and discuss the comments in front of black officers! Isn't Philly the city of brotherly love? Obviously, the police didn't get the memo! I think that if they feel this way, we should cut off tourism! Let the city choke itself! Stop having Superbowls there! Stop having Allstar games there! Stop having anything that will draw African American dollars and let's see what those racist people feel! Let them feel the power of the almighty dollar staying in the African American hand! Especially since they feel we all receive welfare, anyway! If you care to read the story, click here.

This Almost Didn't Make It!

I wasn't going to blog about this but, I have read it on two reputable blogs! Apparently, comedian Katt Williams has filed bankruptcy! It happens to us all but, it seems odd for someone who sells out his venues! It could also be a ploy to break a contract. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Update: The Humor Mill (the starter of the bankruptcy rumor) has reported that Katt Williams is NOT bankrupt. Personally, I don't care but, he has a fan base and they deserve to know the truth.

An Arrest In The McNair Murder?

According to the Associated Press, "Federal agents have arrested a convicted felon for allegedly providing the gun later used to kill ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair, The Associated Press learned Friday.

Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case, said the suspect was arrested by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents.

Federal prosecutors in Nashville planned to announce the charges at a press conference later Friday."
Apparently the shooter, Sahel Kazemi, bought the gun from the felon as she was trying to sell her car! She mentioned that she needed a gun and days later he sold it to her and two days later she used it. I hope this provides closure for the McNair family but, I still have them in my prayers.

What The.......

My sister sent me a little e-mail about a story on CNN. The story was about how they tracked down First Lady Michelle Obama's slave roots. First, and foremost, who the hell came up with the idea to track her roots? It's not about where she came from but, where she is going now! Why don't they track the roots of the Republicans and find out how many got rich off of slave labor? How many are living in their glass houses thanks to our great grand-parents?

Note To God: Can't We All Just Get Along?

Nas and Kelis have decided to divorce. Despite the fact that she is due next month with their first child together. Kelis filed a petition saying that she need at least $10,000 a month to take care of expenses for her and her child. Nas has finally responded and he said that she thinks he makes more money than he does! Kelis claimed he received $11 million from Def Jam but he says it was more like $4 million. He says that he receives about $150,000 a month and his expenses are $75,000 a month. These monies are for his clothes and grooming. Excuse me but, I have never seen Nas dressed in anything that couldn't have come from TJ Maxx! He's not a party animal that you see out on the red carpets, so why so much on clothes? Methinks someone is hiding something! Note to Nas: What's in your other hand? No, the OTHER hand!

Sheeeeee's Back!

Free of all narcotics, including Bobby, and ready to take the music world by storm! Take a look at the, tentative, cover for Whitney Houston's comeback album slated for a September release. Whitney looks good! She recently gave a listening party in London and so-far-so-good! I haven't heard anything bad! Sheeeee's back!!!!!

Drama, Threats And Divorce!

Okay, as if Tameka Raymond isn't dealing with enough (like her pending divorce and all them damn babies) she is in some drama with another blogger! The blogger in question is "ATLien" and her blog is "Straight From The A." She carries all the gossip fit to print from Atlanta. Well there has been no love loss between ATLien and Tameka Raymond. The two are constantly sparring on twitter! The sparring took a bizarre twist when ATLien received a letter from a "friend" of Tameka's. Read the letter:

"From: Margeaux Taylor
To: straightfromthea@gmail.com
Date: Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Subject: Tameka Raymond – Your Death Threat
To Michelle Williams aka Absurd bitch azz Alien. Your obsession with Tameka must weigh heavy on your already chunky azz. You’re so desperate you pay actual money to try to find case files from 20 years ago which possess no relevance to anything but your Schizophrenia. You have all your facts wrong, which totally discredits anything you say. Tameka’s not going to court tomorrow, no DNA Paternity Test ever requested (check the legal papers which you’re so good at finding), she was never involved w/ welfare fraud and you my dear seem to have a major crush on Usher. I can see you in line with the rest of the groupies just salivating to suck his dick but bashing Tameka won’t help your chances. Her azz is about to be PAID shopping at Chanel, Gucci and Prada while you can’t even find an advertiser for your miniscule local blog besides Super 8 Motels LOL. You better watch your back in Atlanta. You are on the list for a serious beat down. I know what you look like now."
You didn't think it stopped there did ya? Well let me post ATLien's response, read on:

"Oh Tameka… oops I mean Margeaux, I would hope that you’d spend more time tending to all those dayum kids besides trolling my “miniscule” blog. Being that you did set yourself up to get paid, I can only say CONGRATULATIONS for your perseverance. You’ve been around that man since he was knee-high to a grasshopper and attempted to mold and shape him into your own personal cash cow. It worked! And guess what? I ain’t mad atcha. You see, I’ve been around this town long enough to know how the game is played and have even played it myself. So while you’re sending crazy “A”zz emails to me, just know that I KNOW that although you may have the cash now to “shop” at Chanel, Gucci & Prada, we all know you used to just “throw it in the bag” and walk out without paying.

Anyone who knows me can tell you I never PAY for info cause I’m broke “A”zz hell and would never waste my little cash on such things PLUS everything I ever need and want is readily available on the internet. You should know that. You spend enough time here. You see, I could snitch and name names of all the people around you who you’ve asked about me, but I won’t. All the people you’ve told “don’t tell ATLien”…or can you call “ATLien” and ask her so & so…but I won’t. I AM NOT A SNITCH. What you fail to realize is that my disdain grew for you once I found out that YOU were inquiring about ME and not a day before that. You wonder why I’m not sympathetic towards your plight, it may be because you deserve no sympathy.

You call me a “lowly blogger” and yet continue to visit everyday to do a search for your name. Do You think I run a site without knowing IP’s and locations? You’ve personally spent HOURS on my site going through almost 2 years worth of data and for what? To call up photographers and tell them I have XYZ photo? I have relationships with these people, something you obviously know nothing about.

So while you’re over there chastising me about my weight, just know I could lose it if I wasn’t so dayum lazy but your “A”zz was born UGLY inside and out and we all know how you feel about your looks. Try not to spend all of your divorce settlement on one plastic surgeon ok…think of the kids for once.

ATLien….out!"

You can't make this ish up! Check out her blog at www.straightfromtheA.com I'm out!

Hello World!!!

I know it seems like I haven't been here in a million years but, I have a good reason. The first reason is: I was hurled into a funk behind the death of Michael Jackson. Not buying it? Okay, I was really feeling under the weather. Still not buying it? Okay, I'll come clean. I really have felt bombarded with other things and felt like I had writer's block. Well, my sister so kindly kicked me in the arse and now I'm back. Let's see what have I missed? The BET awards! I vented my disdain about the awards on twitter but, I never spoke about it here. Chris Brown was supposed to perform a tribute to Michael Jackson. According to sources, Jay-Z and Beyonce pulled a bitch move and said that if Chris Brown performed, they would not! I took to twitter and voiced my disdain for their childish asses! If Rihanna is not angry with Chris, why are you? This was a tribute! It was larger than the both of them but BET wimped out and bumped Chris Brown's performance. Leaving the show with a lot of song homages and no dancing tributes! Yeah, it sucked! Moving on, the Philly children who were denied entrance to the private swimming club, are back in the news. Apparently, the YMCA was refunded their money and the children have been invited to the facility. I am hearing rumblings of a lawsuit but, I don't see it's basis. The one thing the private swim club has on it's side is the fact that they changed their tune, quickly! Had they continued with their stance, there may have been grounds for a lawsuit based on discrimination. Remember, I am not a lawyer so take it with a grain of salt.
