Falcon Fail!

The world was captivated by the little boy who was swept away in a man-made balloon. In fact, the world now calls him "Balloon Boy!" Little Falcon Heene has now confessed to the world that they did it "for the show." His father has been on TV saying that it's not true but, you have to believe him. The boy has been asked since, and he keeps throwing up! I started to doubt the family as soon as the balloon came down. Not only was little Falcon not in the balloon but, the box they claimed he was in wasn't there. It has since came to my attention that the father called the local TV station before calling the cops. He call and asked for a TV helicopter! When the producer called him back and said, "are you serious?" He, then, put the police on the phone. Who in the world would call the local TV station first? The family is notorious for their antics and had pitched an idea for a show to TLC, only to be rejected. This makes me wanna say, "Just get a damn job!"

Kudos!

Every once in a while, you run into a person andd think they are great. Well, if you don't tell them how will they know? I want to talk about Newark New Jersey's mayor, Cory Booker. I stumbled upon this humble hero while watching Forest Whitaker's show Brick City on Sundance. The show followed Mayor Booker and his staff and other Newarkers trying to make a difference. I found him attractive, articulate and exactly what Newark and Detroit needs. He truly CARED for the city and it's residents. I watched as he balanced budget tried to combat crime and participated in Midnight Basketball. The man has spirit and more energy than a 2 year old. I love a man with conviction. Mr. Booker is single but, I'm sure not for long. Note to Cory Booker: I applaud you for the work you are doing and I respect you for the poise you possess in the face of opposition. I will visit your fair city one day and I pray that you are still in charge. God Bless...

Finally!

Rush Limbaugh wants to buy into the St Louis Rams. "Not so fast" say the African American players on the team! Many of the players have said that they will NOT play if he is a part of the organization. One player said,
“I am not going to draw a conclusion form a person off of one comment, but when it is time after time after time and there's a consistent pattern of disrespect and just a complete misunderstanding of an entire culture that I am a part of, I can't respect him as a man,” remarked Mathias Kiwanuka of the New York Giants on the possibility of playing for Limbaugh.

I am happy people are starting to stand against people like Rush. He taints America! Ironically, he is doing damage to the very place he claims to love. I hope that the rest of the organization, or any NBA, NFL, NHL or MLB will follow in their footsteps! You can watch Rush if you want to but, we won't fatten his pockets!
