Antoine The Bounty Hunter is Coming for You!

Shavar — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:02:15 +0000

I started not to post this but must admit, it had me crackin’ up so bad–couldn’t help it, so forgive me!

But why oh why Lord do they always have to have the most “outspoken” African-Americans on news segments? Ratings, maybe?

And speaking of ratings, I heard Antoine The Bounty Hunter is coming to a reality show near you. Just kiddin’.

It was actually a serious story but not sure if this particular news segment conveyed “serious,” lol.

“Dim the lights…I’ve voted myself off American Idol.”

That’s what Ellen DeGeneres tweeted late yesterday afternoon–so she’s officially leaving the show.

Ellen says she actually came to her decision a couple months ago and admitted that it was hard for her to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. Who can blame her, she’s no Simon Cowell.

She concludes, “I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”

Here’s a link to her site with the statement

LeBron Fan Wearing Heat Jersey Ejected from Yankees/Indians Game

Shavar — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:59:17 +0000

A Cleveland fan (IN CLEVELAND), wearing a LeBron James MIAMI HEAT (number 6) jersey at the New York Yankees/Cleveland Indians game last night caused quite a stir. A mob of hecklers ensued, BIG no-no!

Of course, the “fan” had to be ejected escorted out, lol. Video below.

Youtube excerpt: This LeBron James fan was egging on people at the Yankees/Indians July 28th, 2010, baseball game at Progressive Field. He kept on walking around the Home Run Porch purposely arousing fans of both the Yankees and Indians alike.

A roar of boo’s came from the bleacher seats where he was seated and ejected from in the later half of the 8-0 clobbering of the Cleveland Indians by the New York Yankees. The fan enticed the bleacher section which led to this footage of his ejection from the stadium. At one point, not seen in my video his assumed girlfriend punched or was punched, possibly leading to their ejection. The decades long feud between Yankees and Indians fans were absolved for the time being as both joined together in the dislike of LeBron James’ douchey fan.

Note: Some language.

Tim LaHaye: ‘Obama Is Bringing Us Closer To Apocalypse’ [Video]

Shavar — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:30:09 +0000

I usually don’t throw my opinion in my blog posts as I like to consider myself “an observer” of things. Experience has taught me to just watch things unfold and not judge any situation or anyone.

With that being said, what do you think about what Tim LaHaye (the best-selling author from the Left Behind series) said about president Barack Obama? Is this U.S. president “bringing the country closer to the apocalypse” or is this just right-wing foolery and nonsense to you? Video below.

From HuffPost.com:

Evangelical Christian minister Tim LaHaye says that the policy initiatives put forth by the Obama administration are bringing the country “closer to the apocalypse.”

LaHaye issued the dire warning in an appearance this week on Mike Huckabee’s talk show on Fox News.

“Our present president doesn’t seem to get it,” LaHaye explained. “He doesn’t understand that some of the things he’s introducing that many of us call ‘raw socialism’ — it’s a different name, but it’s essentially government control and government domination of everything.”

The evangelical voice said of the political platform maintained by the Obama administration, “It’s going to work against our country and bringing us closer to the apocalypse.”

Saggy Pants Foolish but Legal, New York Judge Rules

ShavarRoss.com — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:00:26 +0000

Wearing saggy pants is not a crime, just foolish. That’s how a New York City judge ruled in throwing out a summons issued to a man wearing low-slung pants that exposed his underwear.

Judge Ruben Franco said that the summons appeared to be an attempt by one police officer to show his displeasure with the style.

The Bronx man, Julio Martinez, was issued the ticket on April 20.

The judge writes that many may find the low-slung trouser trend distasteful and foolish. But he says people can dress how they want as long as they do not offend public order and decency.

Franco’s decision was issued last month. Martinez and his Legal Aid attorney could not be reached for comment.

NBA’s Lorenzen Wright Found Dead

ShavarRoss.com — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:39:13 +0000

The worst possible outcome when former NBA basketball player Lorenzen Wright went missing recently has apparently come true.

Sources confirmed with the Memphis Commercial Appeal that a body found southeast of Memphis is that of Wright.

According to sources, a 9-1-1 call was made from Wright’s cell phone on July 19. A Germantown fire dispatcher could hear the loud blasts of several gunshots. The cellphone call ended at that point…

Wright was thought to be carrying some amount of cash when he was last seen leaving his ex-wife’s Collierville home, fueling concerns he may be the victim of foul play, according to a Collierville police report released today.

He recently flew from Atlanta to Memphis to visit friends and his six children, friends said. He was scheduled to drive back to the Atlanta area July 19, with his six children and a friend. He was last seen at about 2 a.m. July 19, leaving his ex-wife’s Whisperwood Drive home. His former wife, Sherra Robinson Wright, 39, told police she doesn’t know who he left with or what type of car they were in, according to the missing person’s report.

The latest reports have him being shot multiple times, up to 13. Obviously, the police have their work cut out for them.
