Should you tell her he's cheating?

The first time I met my now-close friend Gina, she was rhapsodizing about her awesome boyfriend, Eugene. After a few minutes, I realized I'd already met him. But he wasn't the sweetheart she was describing.

Some people keep their lips zipped about cheating they've seen because they don't want to get involved.

I was familiar with Eugene because the weekend before, he had propositioned me in a particularly crude manner. I realized I had two choices: tell her what kind of loathsome dirt bag she was dating, or keep my mouth shut in the hopes that she'd someday figure it out on her own.

I went with Option A. I told Gina that she could do much better than that jerk and blurted out the whole tacky tale. She was understandably upset, but appreciated my candor. I was lucky -- she dumped him, but kept me as a friend.

I barely knew Gina when I spilled my guts -- if she'd been a close friend I would've been on the phone as soon as it happened. But not everyone agrees you should tattle on a wayward partner. My buddy Erin didn't find out until years later that her husband had been hitting on her close friend, Susan. And that was only after another mutual friend spilled the beans, long after Erin and her husband had split up. The Frisky: Two opinions on outing a cheater

Most of the people I spoke with said they were reluctant to tell because they felt it was none of their business. I asked my good pal Debra if she would let me know if she saw my boyfriend making out with some other broad.

"No way," she said firmly. "That's between you, your man, and the tramp." Debra! Bad friend! The Frisky: Sometimes you've got to mind your own business.

I have been fortunate in one sense that I have never had to tell a friend that I knew of his spouse cheating. Although I think that it really depends on the situation, and how did I catch her. Personally its not my business, so it can go one of two ways either the friend is rational and understands where you are coming from... Or he can be a complete idiot and accuse you of wanting her and wants to terminate their friendship with you. So many variable can control this situation and unless you are willing to see it burn in flames you should never strike a match and spread the news.

Boston Cop Suspended for Racist Gates Rant

A Boston police officer and National Guard commander has been suspended from the force and stripped of his Army command after admitting that he called Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. a "jungle monkey" in an email.

Justin Barrett, left 36, a two-year BPD veteran could be fired as early as this week, Boston Police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said. He wrote the email in response to an editorial Boston Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham that ran last Thursday, Barrett's lawyer, civl rights attorney Peter Marano, told ABC News.

Justin Barrett, 36, a two-year BPD veteran, could be fired as early as this week, Boston Police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said.

Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis held a news conference today to denounce the language in Barrett's email, calling it "venomous rhetoric" and "inflammatory." The commissioner said such behavior "will not be tolerated."

Davis said he has begun a termination hearing that could last a week to 10 days. The commissioner also said he regretted the comments made about Gates.

"I personally reached out to him to apologize for this offense," the commissioner said.

Davis' news conference included religious and black leaders who also condemned Barrett's comments and tried to soothe racial feelings. The also warned that such prejudice must be eliminated from the ranks of police.

"Everybody knows one flat tire will stop a car," said the Rev. Don Mohammed.

I am pleased in Zero Tolerance that the Boston police force is using... This can of behavior should not ever be tolerated period. I am a little caught off guard in who leaked the email??? I wonder if it was one of his so called friends who was laughing with him one minute and as soon as he turned his back, well you know the rest.

Like with Rodney King if it was not for the video tape he would have been sentenced for resisting arrest. So the email is his smoking gone and because of it he has to go.

Infant Cut from Womb in Murder Found Alive

(AP) A baby girl who was cut from her mother's womb has been found alive and two people were arrested in the woman's killing, police said.

The girl, whose mother's body was found Monday in a closet at her Worcester apartment, appeared to be in "fairly good health" at a New Hampshire hospital, Worcester Police Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst said late Wednesday.

Julie Corey, 35, and a male companion were arrested in Plymouth, New Hampshire, where police found them with the child. Friends had told police they were suspicious of Corey's claims she had given birth.

Corey was charged as a fugitive from justice. She was in custody and could not be reached for comment late Wednesday. Police did not know whether she had a lawyer.

The baby's mother, Darlene Haynes, was eight months pregnant. Haynes' body was found by her landlord, William Thompson, who said a "horrifying smell" led him to her apartment, where he found her body wrapped in bedding in a closet. Her death was ruled a homicide.

Police said the 23-year-old had apparently been dead for several days, and that she hadn't contacted family or friends since Thursday. It was not until an autopsy Tuesday that authorities discovered the fetus was missing.

What is the world coming to that a woman was killed so another woman could steal her baby? Thousands of children with out a mother; just needing to be adopted, and this idiot goes out and commit this crime. The ideal that it was okay to take a life to get a life, is ludicrous. This lady has done a unthinkable crime and the death penalty should come quick.
I can not imagine that scene with the body laying on the floor while she pulled the baby from her stomach. The only question that I must continue to ask is why??? Have we become so jaded in our world that our crimes are getting more heinous?
I have no compassion for a cold hearted killers and she deserves to die like the lady she killed...

Girl 'thrown off cliff by her father to avoid child support'

A dad threw his four-year-old daughter off a cliff to avoid paying child support, a court heard yesterday.

Cameron Brown, 47, allegedly took Lauren to an isolated spot where they could not be seen.

He is then said to have grabbed her and hurled her 120ft into the sea.

It is the second time Brown has been on trial for the alleged murder after the jury failed to reach a decision three years ago.

The American was said to have been trying to dodge his £608-a-month child support to Sarah KeyMarer, a British woman who emigrated to the US.

Deputy district attorney Craig Hum told Los Angeles superior court: "This man picked up Lauren, whom he fathered but was never a father to, and threw her off a cliff into the waters."

Brown said the death at Rancho Palos Verdes, near LA, in 2000 was an accident. The trial continues.

This is a sad day in bed rock when a man choose to kill his own child to avoid paying child support. I think that this low life deserves the death penalty. The premeditated act that was committed by this father shows that he not only did not care about himself or his child. Although I do have a problem with the Court system putting children on men who are not a participating member of the child's life. If their is never any contact with the child, why should anyone have to pay child support? If a man says that he does not want the child and the woman decides to keep that child, it should be her responsibility and only hers! Until their is some continuity and equality in making choices in custody and the amount of money paid, their will remain confusion and men representing decision that are very unorthodox. Maybe with more news exposure of how unfair the child support system are, it can help to remedy several problems within the child support system.

Why do some men cheat?

Have you ever really wondered why some men cheat? I looked at myself and I wondered why do I cheat. For so many years the callus behavior that was part of my demeanor was how I existed. Being faithful to one woman had never been my character flaw! The problem was so simply yet so very complex. No matter what woman I choose, I would always find some kind of fault in her character. The women that I slept with would always have two of 3 things that I was seeking in a woman. Communication (mental stimulation), physical beauty (that was pleasing to me), and sexual (physical stimulation). Many women has passed at least 2 levels of the requirements that I had set forth, but none could ever really achieve all 3. You see I had set myself up for failure. Through years of observation I realized that I would settle for about anything with a skirt to sleep with. Of course calling them my woman was a level that not many woman had achieved! I slept with so many woman that over half, I can not remember their names.

I came to a realization that I really had no set standard of a woman that I wanted. You see no matter how beautiful she was or how good the sex was, I was always looking at someone with more beauty and it was my job to figure out how I could make her mind. I found out that I had a hunger or maybe thirst would be a better word for it, that was unquenchable. The realization that the affection that a woman gave me was a high that was so intense. I not only wanted it from one woman but as many as I could get it from. Although after the moment (sex) was done I always had this nagging feeling of guilt and would ask myself "why did I do it"?

The story that I could tell is not enough to cover within a few minutes, hours, or days. This would be a investment of weeks and months the equivalent of a novel. So, for the moment this is teaser that I'll give today. The reason that men cheat has nothing to do with the woman that their with! What you ask? For those who never received affection as boys grow up seeking it as men. Sometimes men need TLC that only his woman can give but he never gets. So he will get out and its all about a few minutes of pleasure, whispering sweet nothings in his ear, holding him like you never want to let him go, and taking him where he has never been.

Now, for every man their is a woman that will make his toes curl, you just have to figure out how to do it. You see if you give him all the affection that he can handle and more you will not have a problem with your man! Remember if you give a little you get a little, so give as much as you can and watch the results grow...

Kirstie Alley gained 85 pounds.

Two years after her news-making bikini reveal, Kirstie Alley explains how she gained back 85 pounds.

For two years, Kirstie followed the Jenny Craig plan and inspired people around the country to lose weight with her. Then, in 2006, Kirstie graced Oprah's stage with a new look, fulfilling a goal she'd set for herself one year earlier—to wear a bikini in public. Seventy-five pounds lighter than her starting weight, Kirstie donned a bikini for all to see.
Now Alley has ballooned back to her original weight. 85 pounds later with the loss of her job as spokes person for Jenny Craig, she is back to where she was two years earlier and still does not have a plan with out a spoon and fork!

I personally can not say it is easy considering you have such a busy schedule, but you have to keep it real and incorporate exercise in this routine some where. If you can not maintain you eating habits with exercise, you will continue to be obese. There is no make believe formula that you can drink to shed the pounds, the formula that will help you win with success is control your eating and exercise!

Eddie Murphy pays less child support than Nas

Eddie Murphy pays $5,000 LESS THAN NAS IS PAYING KELIS!!! Why is Eddie Murphy who is one of the most successful Black actors of our time. His films have grossed more than $1 billion at the box office. So it should be no surprise that his pockets were gonna get HIT HARD when Mel B sued him for child support.

Well now the verdict is in, and Eddie has agreed to pay Mel B $50,000 a month in support. He’s also agreed to visitation and he reportedly wants to NOW be a part of his daughter Iris’ life.

A South Carolina woman is charged with criminal neglect

A South Carolina woman is being charged today with criminal neglect, a felony that could land her up to ten years in the slammer. Why? Because her 14-year-old son weighs 555 pounds. The kids mother, Jerri Gray, was poor and often had to work back-to-back shifts, so her son was home alone a lot. Gray claims there wasn't a lot of junk food in the house, but that her son was stuffing his face in school, eating several lunches each day and feasting on snacks given to him by his friends. The mother tried to get help for her son. She got a $30,000 scholarship to take her kid to a weight treatment center. However, when she arrived the people at the facility said they were not equipped to deal with her boy because he was just too damned big. If Gray is found guilty, it will set a rather scary precedent. If letting your kid eat too much is a crime, what should happen to parents of kids who are anorexic or bulimic? Or to parents of kids who get pregnant? Or to parents of kids who rob or kill someone? Yes, parents can influence their children. But at the end of the day, they're not in the drivers seat. On the flip side, being morbidly obese is dangerous. Parents should try to keep their kids healthy. But I think its hard to dole out punishment. I mean, isn't the school partially at fault? I bet this kids teachers were around him more than his mother—should someone have intervened when they noticed the kid was eating way too much and getting dangerously fat? And while were passing out blame, isn't this partially an epic failure on the part of the system? We live in a country where not everyone has equal access to great health care. So shouldn't those rich, fat, white men in Congress share the blame, too? And what about the weight loss center that refused this kid treatment? And the friends who gave him snacks? And the kid himself? Obviously, this mother isn't the greatest ever. But she is not the only problem here.
How shameful can this system be? In this day and age when it is hard enough to think for yourself, how can you be charged for not thinking for someone else? To give a woman a criminal record because she has a fat ass son is simply not right. If she is not contributing to his obesity then why charge her for his problems? I think it is important for a parent to instill values and morals in a child but when they reach a certain age, all that goes out the window. Life is to short and to punish anyone for their child's short coming is simply not right!

Method Man and Redman at EZStreet’s radio show

Child Support is a sore subject with men period. The fact that judges take advantage of men when they appear in Court, in some case is crazy! I am not sure if Nas has P diddy or fifty money, so if he does not why is he paying more money than these 2? Unless you have stood in front of a judge and hear some of his justification for how they runs their court you would not believe it. The passion that Method is giving is straight from the heart. I am not knocking women or the ideal of paying child support, but enough is enough, right? $55,000 a month for a newborn is unbelievable... So when he turns 3 year old, will they raise it to $100,000 a month because the baby needs pull-ups? Unfortunately for Nas, if it comes a time that he can not pay he will be labeled a dead beat dad.
If the reckless action creates bankruptcy the court will have the nerve to say he should have managed his money better.

Wedding Day Dance

This is spectacular for the bride and groom to come up with a dynamic way to walk down the isle. Forget the traditional da dum dum dum, they choose to shake it down the isle with family and friends. I can not really imagine how much time was spent planning this brilliant ideal, but the concept is priceless. So not only is the ideal embeded in their minds, but it also managed to touch the lives of millions of Americans with a touch of classl... The door is open, now lets see who will walk through next!

Jesse Lee Peterson Thanks Whites on Slavery

Unfortunately this idiot is the guy that I would expect to be in the KKK. He is the one on a soap box in front of thousand of whites telling them that they need to stand up for themselves. Where has he been for the last 50 years? I guess he did not loose any friend or family member to any hate crimes. My blood boils when I hear him on white conservatives talk show giving his opinion about black peoples. Like he is one... Then he even has the nerve to give his opinion as a black man???? When he describes blacks, he does not associate himself with "them" as he says it. How can he call him self a man of god with such hate for his own race?

If a bomb would wake him up and keep him from suffering from the hand of a deranged fool. When you play with snakes you will get bit. The fantasy world that you are living in is like playing Russian Roulette, and the longer that you play will limit your chance to keep succeeding.
Mr Peterson please remember if it looks like crap and smells like crap, its crap!!!

Would you believe my story if I were white?

JULY 23--Here are the police reports detailing the confrontation last week between Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Cambridge cops, who were condemned last night by President Barack Obama for acting "stupidly" in arresting the African-American scholar. Cops responded to Gates's house after neighbor Lucia Whalen reported spotting "two black males with backpacks" trying to gain entry to the home (Gates, returning home from a trip overseas, and his driver were contending with a stuck front door). The Cambridge Police Department reports, authored by Sergeant James Crowley and Officer James Figueroa, quote an incensed Gates yelling, "This is what happens to black men in America!," and, when asked by Crowley to speak with him outside the residence, Gates replied, "ya, I'll speak with your mama outside." A disorderly conduct rap was filed against Gates, but quickly dropped by prosecutors. Gates is reportedly considering legal action against the Cambridge police. (3 pages)

What Gates said is the truth... These kind of things do happen to black men in America. For some reason whites don't believe that black people or Hispanic suffer from racial profiling. As a matter of fact since America has a black President, Blacks have lost the right to say that racism still exist. I absolutely can not stand to hear a white man expressing his anger about a black man crying fowl! How quickly they forget about the Emit Till's of the world. The Lynching of thousands of black men, who suffered at the hands of hateful white mobs, or being found guilty by an all white jury for a crime that he did not commit. Being the last hired and the first fired. You see when you are black in America you can not even make statement like that, for fear of being called a racist!

What if we switched the situation and all the things that happened to us as black men was laid at the feet of white's. They suffered all the heart ache and paid the tributes to their white skin with lynchings and abuse, simply because they were white... Would the story be so hard to believe if they were the one's telling them?

Trooper Who Choked Medic Suspended

Watch CBS Videos Online

STROUD, Okla. (AP) An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper caught on video cussing and fighting with the driver of an ambulance that was carrying a patient was suspended on Wednesday for five days, patrol officials said.

Trooper Daniel Martin also will be required to undergo an anger assessment that "may or may not result in further training or education," patrol spokesman Capt. Chris West said, reading from a prepared statement. West said he couldn't provide more information, citing pending litigation.

A cell phone video of the May 24 scuffle that was widely distributed over the Internet showed Martin grabbing the paramedic, Maurice White Jr., in a choke hold around the neck. White, who has filed a federal lawsuit against Martin, was disappointed by the lax punishment, his attorney said.

“We think it's inappropriate and predictable. Power protects power,” attorney Richard O'Carroll said. “We will extract justice of our own measure.”

Martin's attorney, Gary James, did not immediately return a phone message left after business hours at his Oklahoma City office.

The cell phone video taken by the patient's relative prompted the patrol to release video from Martin's dashboard-mounted camera. It showed Martin pulling over the ambulance, yelling at White and threatening to arrest him.

“I ain't going to put up with that (expletive),” Martin shouted at White, accusing him of failing to quickly get out of his way as he drove up behind the ambulance with his lights and sirens on along State Highway 62 near Paden.

After White suggested that both vehicles take the ambulance's patient to the hospital and then sort out the situation, White and Martin scuffled against the side of the ambulance. They fought again later, and Martin threatened to arrest him.

Several onlookers approached, and one of them told the trooper that his wife was in the emergency vehicle and needed to get to the hospital. White told Martin several times there was someone in the ambulance.

The paramedics were eventually allowed to transport the woman to the hospital.

West said the Oklahoma Highway Patrol's internal investigation determined that Martin had probable cause to stop the ambulance and was justified in arresting White for obstructing a police officer, “but the situation could have, and should have been handled differently.”

The patrol also found that Martin's demeanor and language were unprofessional, his conduct was unbecoming of an officer and he failed to realize “it would have been more reasonable and appropriate to immediately allow the ambulance to continue to the hospital once he understood there was a patient onboard.”

Martin had been on paid administrative leave since June 1. His unpaid suspension ends July 28.

I wish that this was a first time offense in America. On one hand you are going to have people supporting his actions... That right I said supporting this kind of crap. Then they always tell you after its over how scared they were and that is why they killed the individual. Then on the other hand, many people are going to say it was over the top and I agree. I support the police in what
they do, because we do need them. These kind of actions should be grounds for immediate termination... Its against the law for a citizen to assault a officer but if a police assaults a citizen he looses his job... Through all of this that officer should be held accountable for his actions.

Kiefer Sutherland will not be prosecuted for attacking a fashion designer.

Kiefer Sutherland will not be prosecuted for attacking a fashion designer. The "24" star had been charged with third degree assault after allegedly head-butting Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough in New York in May, but the case has been dropped.

Manhattan District Attorney (D.A.) spokeswoman Alicia Maxey Greene confirmed: "We declined to prosecute after a full investigation. And that included speaking to the complaining witness who was quite uncooperative… Therefore, the D.A. declined to prosecute."

Kiefer, 42, has also been cleared by the Los Angeles City Attorney's office, which was looking into the case as Kiefer was on a five-year probation - following his conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) in 2007, which saw him sentenced to 48 days in prison - at the time of the altercation.

Spokesman Frank Mateljan said: "Based on the evidence and information received from New York officials, as well as our own independent review of the evidence, we will not be seeking a violation of Sutherland's probation."

It was claimed Kiefer and Jack scuffled after Kiefer accused him of pushing actress Brooke Shields to the ground in nightspot SubMercer.

Kiefer later apologized for the incident, with himself and Jack releasing a joint statement in which they appeared to settle their differences.

Kiefer said: "I am sorry about what happened that night and sincerely regret that Mr. McCollough was injured."

Third degree assault after allegedly head-butting, is their no shame? Lets be realistic what did Jack think would happen to Sutherland, jail time or better yet a pay day. I think that the most that could have came from this claim did, embarrassment for both parties. Seriously am surprised that Sutherland did not come up with a counter claim because McCollough head was hard as hell and almost knocked him out.

Mischa Barton "Making Improvements" After Hospitalization

Mischa Barton is "making improvements." A representative for the former "O.C." star - who was sectioned last week at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after being placed under a 5150 hold, a piece of legislation which means she poses a danger to herself or others - has claimed she will return to work as early as next week.

Craig Schneider said: "Mischa is improving and still under care, with the intentions of being able to resume production on 'The Beautiful Life' next week."

Shooting of TV show "The Beautiful Life" - in which Mischa plays a supermodel who struggles to cope with the pressure of the fashion world - has been postponed until July 31 after it was claimed the sets were not ready.

It has also been reported program bosses are considering lining up a double for Mischa is case she is not well enough to film. Schneider did not release any more information about Mischa's medical condition.

Meanwhile, it is believed the 23-year-old actress was suffering from low self-esteem prior to her hospitalization.

A source said: "She hates her legs. She isn't comfortable with her body. It's been a big source of stress and self-hate."

Referring to pictures which appeared to show bumpy skin on the actress' legs, another source said: "She had a big problem with those photos of her cellulite. She didn't like it. That just was something that contributed to her spiraling but she didn't do much to fix it because of her partying."

O my god, this woman looks like a train wreck! If she is coming out of the hospital looking like that, what did she look like before she went in? Looking at this photo one would think that she was playing in a sceen from the movie "Drudge 3". Scary... I personally don't think that anyone should have let this woman out of a cab let alone a hospital ward. I have heard the term hot mess and now I have finally found a photo that would truly represent what one is...

Stephen Baldwin has filed for bankruptcy

Stephen Baldwin has filed for bankruptcy. The youngest Baldwin brother and wife Kennya have filed for Chapter 11 protection amid reports of home payment troubles.

According to Wall Street Journal, the 43-year-old actor filed the petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York.

He and Kennya are apparently behind $1.19 million on two mortgages.

They also owe $749,974 worth of back taxes since 1999 to the IRS, $139,288 for unpaid withholding taxes, and $194,527 in unpaid state income taxes.

In addition, Stephen, who was recently seen in the NBC reality show "I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here," has more than $70,000 in credit card debt.

Last month, a public auction on the couple's foreclosed Upper Grandview home was postponed for 30 days.

Baldwin was granted the postponement and was seeking options on paying back his mortgage, but clearly that isn't the case anymore.

Just another case of a star living beyond his means. This is so sad that Baldwin managed to acquire all that debt from living the life of the rich and famous but has fallen by the way side with his efforts on paying back the debt. So what do you do sir when you realize that the money was no longer coming in, fake it until you make it?

The Health Care Bill

I think that the health care bill is a great ideal. Considering that 1/3 of the American people do not have any.
There are millions of people who can not get a simple check up because they don't have insurance.
The consideration of what can happen if this bill passes and becomes law, would probably help to create more of a burden on out current economy.

Our nation is under great stress with the great debt that was laid at our feet. I don't think bankrupting our nation is the way I want to go; but lets face it no one should have to suffer because he does not have dental or medical care. Its a shame that we have to make it a an act of congress to get health care for the sick. People have lost their life savings because of medical calamities. For the 2 people that say that they don't want nationalize health care there are 20 saying that's just what they are in need of it.

I think that if it works in England that it could work here in the US. Lets put our heads together and draw up a plan and make it work.

Boy, 15, guilty of racial abuse

A 15-year-old boy who subjected a schoolgirl to racist abuse has been found guilty of racially aggravated harassment.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted at Lincoln Magistrates' Court. He will be sentenced next month.

The girl suffered months of racist abuse from the boy including being called racist names, the court heard.

The jury was told the victim had considered committing suicide.

Another 15-year-old accused of the same offence was found not guilty.

Jaswant Narwal, chief crown prosecutor for Lincolnshire, said: "This is a sad case where a young girl who was so distressed that she attempted to end her life as a result of racial bullying in school.

"We would like to thank the victim for her courage in coming forward and strongly encourage other young people in the same situation to report to the police when they have been targets of campaign of racial bullying."

I think that the parents may play a big part in this racial attitude that this young man is exhibiting! Unfortunately hate is a taught emotion. The issue that I have a problem dealing with is the hatred that comes with the dislike! The deeper the hate the more violent the individual can be. Not to long ago in the past, many a people lost their lives to simple hate just like this. First it was simple just name calling then they graduate to the desire to hurt physically!

The next thing is these individuals will start joining gangs and groups that represent hate and they will help them to act on their emotions... Yes jail is something that we could do, but lets face it; Its not going to solve the problem. There has to be a point of communication laced with education, that we all are on the same page. The second that happens is the day the world can leave some of its old baggage behind.

They were just wrestling

The Sun

Woody Harrelson Owen Wison

Oh Sugar!

Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson were vacationing in Italy and as onlookers witnessed, their bromance is alive and well.

Not the first time these two have been seen horsing around on vacation!

Once the wrestling for fun was over Woody was left nursing a black eye.

All in the game of fun we guess…

Is it me or do these guys act like it does not matter what they do or where they are carrying on at?

Obama's birth certificate saga still continues

PETITION FOR PUBLIC RELEASE OF
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE

To: Electoral College, Congress of the United States, Federal Elections Commission, U.S. Supreme Court, President of the United States, other controlling legal authorities

Whereas, by requirement of the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, no one can be sworn into office as president of the United States without being a natural born citizen;

Whereas, there is sufficient controversy within the citizenry of the United States as to whether presidential election winner Barack Obama was actually born in Hawaii as he claims;

Whereas, Barack Obama has refused repeated calls to release publicly his entire Hawaiian birth certificate, which would include the actual hospital that performed the delivery;

Whereas, lawsuits filed in several states seeking only proof of the basic minimal standard of eligibility have been rebuffed;

Whereas, Hawaii at the time of Obama's birth allowed births that took place in foreign countries to be registered in Hawaii;

Whereas, concerns that our government is not taking this constitutional question seriously will result in diminished confidence in our system of free and fair elections;

SIGN THE PETITION We, the undersigned, assert our rights as citizens of the United States in demanding that the constitutional eligibility requirement be taken seriously and that any and all controlling legal authorities in this matter examine the complete birth certificate of Barack Obama, including the actual city and hospital of birth, and make that document available to the American people for inspection. Name: * Email: * Zipcode: YES! Please keep me informed about the upcoming constitutional crisis over Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility for the presidency, as well as other breaking news and special offers from WND. Privacy Policy

I have lost interest in this insanity, over and over again this bull keeps surfacing, is he a citizen? First off if he was born in another country and since he had an American born mother Obama would have dual citizenship. Lets look at the twist to all of this story in 1960 when he was born, the individuals in Hawaii new he was going to be the man 50 years in the future. So the fix as been going on for years now.

Lets forget when he went to college and his documents showing that he was not a citizen the college would not revealed. Even the Hawaiian government refuses to expose Obama's citizenship simply because he was black. Lets forget all that pertinent information and lets just say that the passport that he has is invalid. One of the most significant pieces of identification that any American can have, is a lie?

Okay wake up people, I don't think that Obama is getting a pass because he is black. Did anyone in this group have any common sense, maybe just maybe he is a citizen? The evolution of the black man from slavery till now with lynching and discrimination seems so clear to me no... That the only pass he has received is this, he has been the best he could be and it has allowed him to go farther than any black man in history, to the top!

Python Hunt Under Way in Fla. Everglades

A program to eradicate pythons from the Florida Everglades is beginning.

Friday is the first day herpetology experts with a permit will be allowed to search for and euthanize the pythons, which are not native to the Everglades.

The number of pythons in South Florida has exploded over the past decade as pet owners released their snakes when they grew too large, reports CBS station WFOR in Miami. It's unclear how many pythons are prowling in the wild across South Florida, but state wildlife officials estimate there are at least tens of thousands.

They reproduce 50 to 100 eggs when they lay the eggs. They have the ability to withstand different temperatures so there's a possibility they could move north. So now is the time to get started on this and try to prevent it before it becomes even a bigger problem," explained Behnke.

The first phase of the python hunting program will last about three months.

There is nothing more vicious than a wild Python. These snakes don't eat often but when they do your dogs and cat and small children are no match for these constrictors. I personally am not a snake fan as a matter of fact I am scared of them, to the point that I would hurt myself trying to run from one of them. Although let me say this the one thing that would make me face any snake would be the danger that one would present to my family. I know then that it would be an option of killed or be killed.

Snakes offer so much of a benefit by getting rid of rodents but these kind of killers don't need to be loose in the United States. The aggression level will eventually come back and when it does these snakes become death machines!

Nas claiming that he was paid more than Kelis is claiming

Nas has fired back in his bitter divorce case with Kelis claiming he's paid her more than she says and he makes less than she thinks.

For starters, Kelis claims Nas raked in $11 million for his album deal. Nas fired back in legal papers, "I did not receive even half that amount"... claiming it's more like $4 mil. Nas claims his income is declining, and he's only pulling in $147,165 a month.

As for what he spends ... $71,371.96 a month, which includes $10,000 a month in clothing/hair/toiletries/personal effects.

Kelis, who is about to give birth to their child, claims Nas hasn't paid a penny for child or spousal support since he left her. Nas, who says he wants to be "fully involved" in the parenting of their child, claims he's agreed to pay $350 for a stroller, $450 for a baby sling and $1,598 for two cribs.

Nas thinks $5,000 a month is reasonable for child support since the kid will just be a newborn.

Unfortunately Nas you must realize that it would have been cheaper to keep her. No matter what the situation was or is, we all have to deal with woman in one way or another. I personally feel for you since I know what its like to have to part ways with someone that I was once in love with... Now the difference is that you may still have love for that person but the level of sacrifice that you were once willing to take is gone. I have come to a great realization that you must still continue to provide for her and your children. I know that the child support system is not the greatest and as many flaws on how they calculate what is suppose to be paid, I think that advance trig is easier.

Lets look at it from this perspective if she is happy, it keeps your ass out of the news, come to a conclusion that you need to pay up and do it!

Troy Neel could run but he could not hide, 8 years later and $725,000 dollars in back child support.

A sentencing hearing was scheduled Friday for one of the state's most wanted child support evaders.

Former pro baseball player Troy Neel was arrested in December for not paying child support.

He owes more than $725,000 for more than eight years of missed payments.

Neel used to play baseball for the Oakland A's and professionally in Japan.

He's charged with fleeing the country to avoid paying.

He could serve up to two years in prison.

Now before you make comments about how it's too much money, you should look at the whole picture. When Neel and his wife divorced, he was a pro ball player who decided to leave the US and buy a resort in a country that had no extradition agreement with the US. coincidence? I don't think so ... plus that $725k number is not only the 8 years of non-payment on his end, but also the interest and court costs accrued while he was gone on permanent vacation. I think that it is a pile dung that the court will earn $10,000 dollars or more simply because the wife filed a claim... The child should benefit not the city!

Neel fleed to Vanuatu a small chain of islands located about 1,000 miles east of Australia. Neel's tropical resort is surrounded by white sandy beaches, features a restaurant overlooking a lagoon and has the country's only full-service spa, according to its Web site. ... he and his new wife lived and operated a 21 room resort on a 16 acre island, he hosted fishing tournaments and oh ... and he owns the flip pin' island too! for the 8 years he lived there, I'd bet he never saw his children. he was originally ordered to pay $5k a month for his 2 children, if he needed it modified to a smaller amount because he wasn't making the money he used to, then he could have petitioned the courts to do so and it would have been an easy process if he could prove he didn't make the money he had in the past.

Much of what Neel owes is from interest. The principal is more than $300,000, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bud Paulissen said.

Sustaita did not elaborate during the hearing over the amount he believes Neel owes. That is expected to be brought up during the sentencing hearing.

Neel is a Texas native who attended Texas A&M University. A San Antonio federal grand jury indicted him in 2005 on a charge of foreign travel to evade child support obligations. He was arrested at a Los Angeles airport in December as he got off a flight from Australia.

I honestly have no sympathy for a guy that refuse to not take care of his kids. Pay the mother if you don't do anything else, you may have beat the system, but you deserve everything that you are going to get!

Rashida Jones

What a name like Rashida Jones it would leave no definition in my mind that this was a black woman, although the closer that I look at her. Leaves me to believe that her mother liked Rashida!

Frank Hatley was just released from prison after he was jailed for not paying child support for a child that is not his:

Frank Hatley spent the past year in jail for being a deadbeat dad. But there’s one problem — Hatley doesn’t have any children. And, the “deadbeat” label doesn’t fit the 50-year-old either, his supporters say. After a hearing, Hatley was released from the Cook County Jail in south Georgia Wednesday afternoon, with the help of the Southern Center for Human Rights.

Superior Court Judge Dane Perkins ruled that Hatley was indigent and should not be jailed for not being able to make child support payments. Perkins postponed a decision on whether Hatley should have to make any more back payments on child-support for a child who is not his. In June of last year, a judge ordered Hatley to jail for failing to reimburse the state for public assistance that was paid to support his “son,” who, as the court was aware, is not actually his son.
The story dates back to 1986, when Hatley had a relationship with Essie Lee Morrison. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Morrison told Hatley that the child was his, but……the couple ended their relationship shortly after the boy’s birth, according to court documents. The couple never married and never lived together, the documents state.

When the boy turned 2, Morrison applied for public support for her son. Under Georgia law, the state can go after the non-custodial parent to recoup the assistance. For 13 years, Hatley made payments to the state until learning, in 2000, that the boy might not be his biological son. A DNA test

that year confirmed that there was no chance he was the father, according to court documents. Hatley returned to court and was relieved of any future child support reimbursement but was ordered to pay more than $16,000 that he had owed the state before the ruling.

Latesha Bradley, an attorney who represented Hatley in that hearing, told CNN the argument for keeping Hatley liable for the back payments was that he had signed a consent agreement with the office of child support services. The court agreed that Hatley had to comply with the consent agreement for the period that he believed the boy was his son.

Court documents show that Hatley for the most part continued to make payments. He was jailed for six months in 2006 for falling behind on payments during a period of unemployment, but afterward he resumed making payments and continued to do so even after he lost another job in 2008 and became homeless, court records state. Last year, he again became unable to maintain the payments and was once again jailed.

The circumstances of Hatley’s arrest didn’t feel right to many, including Cook County Sheriff Johnny Daughtrey. “I knew the gentleman’s plight and didn’t know how to help him,” Daughtrey told CNN. About two months ago, when attorneys from the Southern Center for Human Rights visited his jail, Daughtrey alerted them to Hatley’s case.

I really feel this guy got the shaft, but the amount of time that he established a relationship with the child became his enemy. The one thing that I think that should happen is that any woman found guilty committing fraud of this crime should be forced to repay all money that the man had to pay and if she refuse to pay lock her ass up! Deceiving someone to believe that he is the father is fraud and should be a crime! As a matter of fact it should be called the deception bill.

Katt Williams has filed for bankruptcy?

I learned from Bossip that Katt Williams has filed for bankruptcy.

According to the comedy magazine Humor Mill:

In the long list of controversies surrounding Katt Williams, it looks like this following news might be a serious set back; we just discovered from several sources that comedian and actor Williams has filed for bankruptcy.
Over the past several years, Katt Williams has been involved in several tours that have grossed over $50 million dollars and several months ago Katt turned down an offer from Comedy Central for over $50 million, not to mention his official retirement from doing stand up over the Christmas holidays.

This sure isn’t pimpin’ Katt. Hopefully, the talented brother gets his mind right and gets it together.

Nothing is more wastefull than a man to jack 5 or 10 million, but 50 million is crazy! If you have no clue, man hire somone that does...I am shocked that you would fall on the bad investment cart and have to file Bankruptcy...The smart millionaire buy and market their name. I sure hope that you did not get caught up in the entourage and was spending money like you were Bill Gates. Understand one thing, even if Bill spends 20 million he has 50 million coming in. Success comes in manys ways, the key is not to make a million and spend it, but to make a million and make it multiply. Every success sport figure, singer or actress all ways figure out one thing, they ride the wagon as far as they can take it and utilize it will they are doing it. Now while they are riding that wagon they are always making smart investments and utilizing their name to the best of their ability. Just to give you and ideal what I am speaking of Look at Nelly and Jay Z both own basketball teams and have clothing line and are always looking for opportunity to build their empires. The Rap game has been good to them but they figured that it will end one day and they made smart decisions to remain successful. Now I could go on ranting and raving about the stupidity of Bankruptcy but is all that really necessary? You made your mistake, so cowboy up and regroup and make it again! Just the next time don't make the same mistake twice.

What a waste that the oldest mom is dead at 69

World's Oldest' Mom Gave Birth at 66, Dead at 69.

A Spanish woman believed to have become the world's oldest new mother when she gave birth at age 66 has died, leaving behind twin toddlers, newspapers reported Tuesday.

Maria del Carmen Bousada, who reportedly died Saturday at age 69, gave birth in December 2006 as a single mother after getting in vitro fertilization treatment.

She told an interviewer she lied to a California fertility clinic about her age, and maintained that because her mother had lived to be 101, she had a good chance of living long enough to raise a child.

Bousada's death was reported by the newspaper El Mundo and Diario de Cadiz. Cadiz is the southern province where Bousada lived her whole life.

Diario de Cadiz quoted her brother, Ricardo Bousada, as confirming her death but refusing to disclose the cause. The newspaper said she had been diagnosed with a tumor shortly after giving birth.

There was no word on who would raise the children, named Pau and Christian. Bousada had once said she would look for a younger man to help her raise them.

In January 2007, she told the British tabloid News of the World that she sold her house to raise $59,000 to pay for the in vitro fertilization.

What a waste is exactly what I think of this situation that this woman would subject her children to this kind of ludicrous behavior. Hell she knew she was old when she first decided to have these kids, to make matters worse she knew that she would not probably live to see them grow up. Now their is a woman that is 70 wanting to have kids, what?

I think that there should be a limit that a woman should even consider having more children. Unfortunately the one that will suffer the most will be the children!

Akon why are you ducking child support?

Served Child Support Papers At Michael Jackson's Memorial?

Singer/producer Akon may be stacking millions of dollars, but according to reports, he is not sharing the wealth with one of his children. TMZ reported that the mother of one of Akon's children, has been trying to serve him child support papers but with no luck. The site also stated that she even went so far as to attempt to serve him during Michael Jackson's public memorial srevice, which he attended last week.

Akon what gives man, you don't want to pay? It is a sad day in bedrock when a man has millions of dollars and will not participate in taking care of his children. I feel so much pity for you as a man that will not take the responsibity of what you help to produce. I have learned that you need to take time to know the person that you go to bed with. You see that the kids are a product of both. If you have educated parents then you have educated children. If you have dumb parents then you may have dumb kids...
As a black man all you are doing is repeating the cycle that black familys seem to encounter, and that is the lack of a male figure in homes. If you have 5 kids by five different women, that means that there are 5 kids without a father in their home. Unfortunately I made the mistake of not taking the time to find the right person to have a family with, but I took on the responsibility of raising my children all by myself. Hey, it has not been easy but like your adventure as a solo artist, you know its not. Black men have such a negative stigma about who they are and what they stand for. We need to desperately work on changing this stigma that we created.This destructive behavor that the black man has exhibited as done nothing more than create pain in the black family.
It is docummented that a family that grows together stays together. Do me one favor brother find one that is right for you and keep her, when you do that you break the cycle of pain!

Texting teen falls in manhole, will sue

Just how foolish does this sound and open man hole uncovered and a texting teen falls in. Was this young lady so engrossed in her text message that she was not paying attention to the world still functioning? Unfortunately she did not ask to get to get hurt, but maybe, just maybe she will not make the same mistake again. Bus and subway crashed have been the main reason that they have made a law against texting while driving. Now how can one be so dumb? I think that it is a shame that the city employee has made such a careless error by leaving an open manhole with out a caution sign around.
The city can contest this all they want but they will eventually settle out of Court... How can I be so sure? Simply because if you are in a restaurant and fall on a wet floor that did not have any caution signs, you would have the opportunity to sue that business and win!
I hope the young texter learns her lession, but even if she didn't she will get to limp all the way to the bank...

The girl with 2 hearts

"American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest has reportedly signed a three-year, $45 million deal

(CNN) -- There may be speculation about which judges will be returning to "American Idol" next season, but there's no question about one "Idol" regular: Host Ryan Seacrest is definitely back on board in a big way.

"American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest has reportedly signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the show.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Seacrest closed Monday on a deal with CKX, parent company of "Idol" producer 19 Entertainment, worth $45 million over three years.

That figure reportedly triples the not-quite-$5 million annual salary he is said to have earned in the past for hosting the hit Fox music competition.

A post on his Twitter page stated that Seacrest was "very excited about locking in a deal to host idol for this season and the following 2," which was quickly followed by a tweet that said, "Lots of conversations going on behind the scenes but I fully expect you will see the whole team next year."

The lucrative contract further adds to Seacrest's empire, which includes a gig as a host of a popular syndicated radio show as well as duties for E! News and ABC's New Year's Eve special.

Forbes ranked him No. 44 in the 2009 Celebrity 100 -- its annual list of the most powerful celebs -- and dubbed him "the hardest-working man in entertainment," with an estimated pay of $38 million. That payday included work developing and producing television shows like E's "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" as well as endorsement deals with Proctor & Gamble and Coca-Cola.

Eminem is so deep

Watch more Encore videos on AOL Video

I can only take my hat off to the genius of Marshall Bruce Mathers III, even though he is as they say a hard core rapper, he still manages to show a soft side of his personality. He says things in his heart that I can relate to as a single father. I have spent my whole life trying to make it so that I could give my kids more than I had. You see as a father when we work to provide we sometimes miss those special moments of our children growing up. I only wish that I could have seen my little girls more, for now when I look at them I see little ladies...

It ain't over, but shouldn't it be?

Just two weeks after Michael Jackson’s sudden death, chilling reports concerning the singer’s drug consumption are surfacing.

CNN obtained a confidential document from 2004, which claimed Jackson was known to take more than 10 Xanax pills per night. The singer allegedly asked his employees to seek out prescription's in their own names in order to obtain more drugs. The reports also claims that the singer would travel to out of state doctors for more pills.

On Thursday, Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton said police are looking into a number of doctors who provided care for Jackson over the years and are investigating his prescription drug history.

According to a source close to the Jackson family, they are aware the investigation into the cause of Jackson’s death could turn into a criminal case.

“The family is aware of a potential criminal prosecution,” the source said.

CNN’s chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta was surprised by the alleged amount of Xanax, which is meant for the treatment of panic disorders.

I realized that day when the news shocked the world that Michael Jackson had died, that there was more to his story, and as soon as he was laid to rest the world was going to see that it ain't over! Of course millions of people paid om age to the King, calling him a legend saying that he was the greatest entertainer ever. Now that the dirt has been thrown on his grave, scandalous accusations about the man being a drug addict and more has surfaced. I don't know if its true or not, but do we really have to go their? Now the headlines are reading "WHO KILLED MICHAEL JACKSON" So since he died to soon, a witch hunt is out to prosecute any of his doctors who gave him a prescription medication. Hey lets forget the fact that he had money and he was traveling all over to get these drugs, we would never want to consider that he had a drug problem or better yet lets just forget that he had problems period! It seems that when ever we loose a superstar too soon, the first person we want to blame is the doctor. So is it safe to say, that we should start blaming the drug dealer for the junkie getting hooked? I pity the fact that we see problems developing all over the place and will not do anything to resolve it and after the fact so many people want to come running talking about I knew about it, i saw it happening. Unfortunately this is not the first mega superstar that we will loose to soon, and if, we are not willing to step up when they are alive, what good does it do when they're dead? Honestly it ain't over if you want to dwell on 'what ifs' but considering that we have laid the King of Pop to rest, shouldn't it be over?

McNair girlfriend shot him in his sleep because she felt he was cheating on her

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former NFL star Steve McNair was shot dead in his sleep last week by a 20-year-old girlfriend distraught about mounting financial problems and her belief that he was seeing someone else, police said Wednesday.

I am surprised that McNair knew that his girlfriend was struggling and would not help her, then he even had the nerve to be cheating on her? Some women take cheating with a grain of salt, they know that it is happening but they deal with it. Then their are women who don't like to loose anything and would rather kill the man instead of loose their good thing.

What is the thing with society that now they have to kill as much as they can kill then turn the gun on themselves. Has society lost so much respect for themselves that they have evolved into a society of idiots. This behavior has got to stop if you want to kill yourself, do it but lets keep it real/ nobody should have to die from your stupidity, only you!

Harry Potter star facing 14 years for drug charges

The 19-year-old actor will have to appear in court later this month for the charges stemming from an April arrest.

Waylett, who plays Potter bully Vincent Crabbe, was busted when cops pulled over his vehicle in London and allegedly found eight bags of marijuana. He was taken to a nearby police station before a team of officers raided his mother’s home in Camden, the Daily Telegraph reports.

A Metropolitan police spokeswoman said the actor would appear in court late this month and “is charged with producing a Class B drug, nearly ten plants of cannabis.”

The plants – valued at more than $3,000 – were allegedly found among DJ equipment and a Play station, the Telegraph said.

Waylett may face up to 14 years for cannabis production, while the maximum charge for cannabis possession is five years.

Unfortunately history is always repeating itself. These young idiots think that they are so smart. Is common sense not part of their protocol? Day end and day out they think they got it all figured out but with a little rational thinking you can always defuse their insane plans. They have these ideals that they have superior thinking and because we are older we don't know the way. Lets keep it real we were once young and the things that you are introducing today was displayed once before. So if you as a young person are thinking of having some Epiphany of how you are going to change the world, why don't you do a little research. You may find out your plans have holes in them!

Idaho Babysitter Accused of Having Sex With 14-Year-Old

POST FALLS, Idaho — An Idaho woman face charges that she had sex with a 14-year-old boy that she was hired to watch in August 2007.

KXLY-TV reported Tuesday that 28-year-old Summer Nelson, of Post Falls, was charged Monday with four counts of lewd conduct with a child.

Court records say Nelson was a friend of the boy's mother. Police say the abuse was reported in December 2008, after the boy's mother grew suspicious of Nelson's attention Nelson toward the boy.

Investigators say Nelson told the boy's siblings that she was in love with their brother. Detectives say Nelson and the boy had at least four sexual encounters.

Can anybody tell me what is going on in the world that these women are saying that they don't want men any more and are sleeping with kids? Maybe they lost part of there child hood and still think they are 14 too. Its blows my mind that 80% of the women that are caught up in these child molestation are attractive women and could have any man that they want. Unfortunately I would like to say throw the book at these women but in the back of my mind I feel that there are issues that have not been resolved. You see women have to be held accountable for the things that they are doing with these boys. So consensual sex is what it is but, my only issue is how do you sentence a woman for a crime that a man would get the book thrown at him!

Stepfather was sexually abusing his son for years

For years, a man regularly confined his adolescent stepson to a bedroom rigged with an alarm, molested him several times a week and often denied him food, water and access to a bathroom, authorities said.

The 17-year-old boy, who lived with his stepfather for nearly six years, told police Robert J. Pratt would smash his head into a wall when he resisted his advances and sent him to school in long-sleeved shirts and pants so no one would see his bruises and scars.

Pratt was being held without bail on sex assault charges, accusations that surprised acquaintances who know him as a quiet, helpful neighbor.

The boy came forward after Pratt, 37, of Bennington, kicked him out of the apartment they shared and he moved in with his mother, who lived in the same apartment complex.

I really despise the thought of this man abusing this child and no one had a clue. Whats said is that his mother lived in the same apartment complex and she was okay with her biological son living with her ex... In today's society woman have changed their views, and some even are okay with the children not living with them. When you think about it what if Bennington hadn't kicked him out of the apartment, would the sexual abuse still be going on?

L.A. lost $1.4Million performing service for jackson

The memorial service for singer Michael Jackson cost the city of Los Angeles $1.4 million, the mayor's office said. Costs included putting extra police on the streets, trash pickup, sanitation, traffic control and more for the Tuesday event, a spokeswoman said. The city, which is $530 million in debt, set up a Web page seeking donations to help with the expenses. This city has some nerve, they go all out to perform this mind blowing service to honor the king of pop then turn around and cry broke? Did someone put a gun to the mayors head saying he had to do it? CNN said over 1 billion people watched the service. Hotels, motels were sold out with people trying to be in the general area. I look at it like this if you do something from the good of your heart is great. Although if you expect to get paid for the good deed is crap. If the city of LA was okay with offering the services of extra police, trash pickup and traffic control then the city should be okay with eating the debt they created!
