These two look so happy don’t they? But!! there’s another young man out there who claims to be the father of Bristol Palin’s unborn child via a videotaped admission. He’s quite respectful to the Palin clan during his speech. Although, he mentions how the family wants nothing to do with him. Oops! I forgot to mention he’s a young BLACK man. That little bit of information may have something to do with why he’s been allegedly kicked to the curb. The video surfaced some time last week and he has even offered to take the video down if Bristol would just talk to him about shared custody of their unborn child. Now, let me also say that he mentions his burgeoning rap career during the video. Is it a publicity stunt? Who knows. But, it sure would be interesting to see how this one pans out. It makes you wonder why you haven’t even seen this tape come up on CNN or MSNBC or FOX News as a joke reel if nothing else. I guess it’s not funny to them. But it does take you back to the scene in Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence’s movie “Life” and there’s a young white girl who has a little brown baby and Bernie Mac, in one of his better roles, says, “I’z the pappy!” Check him out! Maybe he’s the truth and the guy standing next to Bristol is just a model!

Well, well, well…it all makes sense now. The global edition of the New York Times, The International Herald Tribune, reported yesterday that Congress was steaming mad, as we all should be, as the inspector general for the Interior Department blew the lid off of unethical practices, conflicts of interest and essentially P. Diddy partying off of our hard earned gas and oil money within his department. If you don’t know, the Interior Department collects royalties off of gas and oil. The Tribune also reports that the division of the Interior responsible for all of the partying is the Minerals Management Service which “collects about $10 billion in royalties annually and is one of the government’s largest sources of revenue other than taxes.” Now isn’t that a blip? They’ve parlayed significant gas and oil transactions into cocaine and sex, sporting events and maybe even “bling” (but the “bling” has yet to be confirmed). Getting mad yet? Wait! The major culprits in this scandal are retired, so they have escaped punishment. Both made their exit while the investigation was pending. Sound like a pack of gangsters you know? Well, our government appears to have put the “g” in gangster. Hip Hop boys…you don’t have a thing on this crew in the Bush administration. Take your first Gangster 101 online course here.

Scientists around the world wait with bated breath as their multi-billion dollar particle blasting machine gives them a glimpse into the beginning of mankind. A lot of scientists believe that the world was created by a series of expansions in the universe due to high and cool temperatures called “The Big Bang” theory. Now that the machine is complete, they have the technology to research matter and particle structures and how they work unlike any telescope or microscope before. This whole thing sounds like a bad episode of Pinky and the Brain. The job seems to be to discount God and set up their own universe when they destroy this one. Because when they start messing around in God’s universe and open up a massive black hole, who but God will get us all out of that one? Read all about the seemingly sinister machine here.

The two leading housing brokers, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are looking at a deal with the government to cover its assets. The deal, thus far, appears to be that the two will be obtained by the federal government in a last ditch attempt to save homeowners that are under the umbrella of the mortgage behemoths. The unstable companies offer many opportunities to get a house with their first time home buying programs and special financing opportunities, but the times changed and the real estate market sank while they were still etching out opportunities for homeowners to buy, buy, buy. Now the Federal government has to take full control of the more than 50 percent of homeowner mortgages in the U.S. Yes it’s okay to be afraid…be very afraid. Find out how the economic crisis stands here.

If you’re one of the many news junkies who have been paying close attention to the legal woes and controversy following Kwame Kilpatrick over the last year, you might be glad to see that his dilemma has finally come to a close. The embattled mayor was ordered to 120 days in jail along with several other penalties that include a $1 million fine. The man did his share of foolishness and charged it to the city, but all of this as a penalty? Did he get caught drug trafficking, selling women, and hiding a secret life as a hitman as well? Can you think of anyone else that has had jail time along with a fine this massive? Not to mention all the other penalties he’ll have to contend with. Surely, his mom will come to his rescue and demand justice be dealt a little more fair and square than this. Read the Times to see the particulars. The Michigan judicial system has made a Pinocchio out of Kilpatrick. You can bet your last dollar you won’t catch him lying about another thing “so help me God.”

Have you recently lost your job and feel like keeping to yourself a little more than usual? Just feel like staying away from happy hour and reading a good book at home? Or do you feel like sitting in a corner with the lights off? Did you say only if you’re on your last check and the lights were shut off? Thought so! The results of a study that has gone on for more than 45 years says that people tend to pull away from social organizations and/or groups once they lose their job. The science behind the survey says that these feelings of inadequacy come from a reciprocating relationship the person had with society that they can no longer fulfill. It’s as though you feel like you’re not holding up your end of the bargain with society by being out of a job. Well, someone needs to tell Craig an ‘nem because they were being very social at the corner store last night and they haven’t had jobs in a month of Sundays. Read all about the survey here. It obviously doesn’t apply to, let’s just say, a lot of people we know.
