Let The Church Say Amen…to R&B?

Some people have been looking forward to this type of sermon in church, so they can ease their foot back in the door before or after Easter.  Some people come straight from the club to church just so they can tell their Mama they went…and also to finish pickin’ up chicks.  Rev. Lester Love earned his last name long before his preaching days.  There’s no other way he would’ve known this many “classics” to incorporate into his sermon.  But, the funny thing is, the congregation must have thought they bought tickets to an oldies but goodies concert the way they swayed, held their hands up, and lit their lighters to this one.  Or they all came from the club to church.

Satire Strikes Obama Camp Again

We recently reported the terrible caricature of Michelle Obama being branded and surrounded by the Republican’s as KKK members and here we are yet again.  The New Yorker has no real excuse for its cover outside of Editor David Remick being quoted saying, “Satire is part of what we do.”  That statement says absolutely nothing in defense of such an inflammatory depiction of the Democratic Presidential candidate.  The claim is that they are giving us a summary of what has been said about Obama and his wife, but it screams racist and inflammatory.  What do you think?  Read the full story here.

The Law vs. Saggy Pants

While some of us may be standing on our soap box spouting how this is against our first amendment rights and all that jazz, parents everywhere are screaming “Amen! About time!”  Yes, Flint, Michigan’s chief of police, David Dicks, is coming down on “crack” exposure…and we don’t mean drugs.  Young men in Flint will have to find a different way to express themselves if they don’t want to go to jail or receive a fine.  There’s even a chart of how far your pants can sag before you are in hot water.  Dicks has already begun to receive calls from the American Civil Liberties Union (which he expected), but is not ”backing down” until the pants come up.  But, the bottom line is that all you young men out there that like to sag shouldn’t want Dicks on your behind.  Pull ‘em up!

For complete details on how to stay out of jail for “sagging”, go here.

One Million Bite Apple

The people over at Apple are sticking out their tongues and doing the happy dance over the release of their latest iPhone.  The iPhone 3G beat out its predecessor by leaps and bounds selling a whopping one million units in just 3 days.  In comparison, the first model was a flop, selling one million in 74 days.   But, to be fair, it wasn’t offered all over the world.  This phone is available in 21 countries.  The new phone boasts GPS, faster networking and iPhone 2.0 software (that kinda embarrassed the company at first).  Run out and be customer 1,000,001.  The phone isn’t even that expensive.  For a mere $199, you can get the 8GB version.

Detroit’s Kilpatrick At It Again?

The prosecution has new ammunition against Detroit’s Mayor Kilpatrick.  The newest allegation is that he has even more skeletons falling out of his…cell phone.  More women have been discovered in his text messages.  But, according to the Detroit Free Press, the prosecutor’s spokesperson said there will be “…no new people charged in the investigation ‘at this time’ ”

The mayor has been linked with woman after woman.  Just before his, seemingly, heartfelt display of regret and apology to the city, his wife and church last January, another woman was “uncovered.”  The woman accompanied him at a resort in North Carolina where he was scheduled to deliver a speech for Martin Luther King Day.  Other women include a jamaican woman he allegedly had sex with in a barbershop.  Remember the Alderman in the movie Barbershop telling Eve he’d come by for some ”trim.”  Read more about Detroit’s super freak here.  If you’d like to view the apology and read information about the initial allegations, go here.
