Jamar Pinkney Sr., 37

Jamar Pinkney Sr., arrived at his 15-year old son’s home where he lived with his mother to exact corporal punishment on his son for doing the deplorable.  According to ABC, his son had revealed to his mother that he had “inappropriate contact” with his 3-year old sister. 

Lazette Cherry, the boy’s mother, called and alerted Pinkney Sr., to the startling news and wanted him to deal with the boy.  Surely in that moment, the family imploded.  The man was beside himself.  A mailman “for years” had no previous record.  But, now has probably reasoned that he would give his life if he had to take his son’s.  What parent would ever think they would be faced with bringing literal action to the phrase, “I brought you in this world, I’ll take you out”?

Aaron Hall

We knew Aaron had a special way with the ladies, but he’s parlayed that talent into another industry.  He has tapped into his inner dog and has become a Dog Whisperer.

This side of him is totally foreign to all of his adoring fans who are probably completely confused by his choice of profession.  Groups like Guy are a classic and have earned their place in R&B history.

So, when they broke up, you thought they would do solo careers and keep it music for the rest of their lives.  But that would not be the end of the story for this lead singer. (more…)

University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)  has just lost their mind.  They needed more money and the state is nearly bankrupt, so they looked to the students to fill in the blanks.  The Associated Press is reporting that the public institution’s board has approved a 32 percent hike in tuition and fees, raising the tuition and fees to over $10,000 per year.

2-year old Jeremiha

A pregnant Mississippi mother has her 2-year old son to thank for a safe delivery of her new baby.

That’s right, he was the physician on call at the house Friday the 13th when his mom went into labor.  His mother, Bobbye Favazza, was sitting on the couch and he sprang into action.  (more…)

Judge Louis B. Butler, Jr.

The Wall Street Journal is being called, of all things, racist.  No! Not the Wall Street Journal!  We know you’re all taken aback by that claim.  To be fair, the Journal is mostly known for sound journalism with intriguing, informative reports.

But then they thought they’d do a little play on words, like using former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Louis B. Butler Jr.’s name in an editorial about Obama’s newest appointee entitled “The White House Butler.”  Not smart.  Not the Journal.  Right?

Well, according to Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, a state senator, a former state Supreme Court justice and a Wisconsin lawyer are all pretty certain it’s a clear case of racism and are demanding an apology.   (more…)
