Memphis Keeps Wining



Finally after 23 years of not making the Final Four the Memphis Tigers has made it again. Memphis continues to fight for their respect, everyone keeps writing them off, yet they still keep wining. This is the first time in NCAA history that all four number one seeds made it to the final four. Memphis is the team to beat in this game, thier persistant defense and drives to the rim should give them the edge.
Memphis (37-1) takes on UCLA 35-3.
while Kansas (35-3) takes on North Carolina 36-2. North Carolina is my pick to take Kansas


Now its time to show why they are number one.

Sean Levert dead at 39

The 39 year old R&B singer died at the Lutheran Hospital from natural causes last night. He was transported to the hospital from the Cuyahoga County Jail. He was being held there on charges of non child support payments. The Sean Levert death comes as a big surprise considering his age. The crazy thing is that his brother Gerald Levert died in in 2006 at the age of 40. There is not any evidence of foul play involved considering both of them died at such a young age. Shawn levert and Gerald Levert formed the band “LeVert” back in 1984.
Sean Levert had been sentenced to 22-months in prison for not paying child support. Sean owes $85,427.68 in back support for his three children - ages 11, 15 and 17.
I don't agree with jail time for non-child support payments. With All the crime in the United States how many cells a year do we waste on dead beat dads? I wonder is it really worth locking a man or woman up for for a year or two as a form of puishment? It offers no retributuion to the child and what does the state gain from the incarceration, a check? Community service, house arrest should be consideration first making arrest the final phase.

Grandma?


Wow, unbelievable, every inch of this woman body is covered in tattoos. I am more amazed that she is a grand mother. I wonder if she has the world records! You know for her age her body is not bad

Memphis won again



The Memphis Tigers won again. Who are these guys? They are ranked number #1 in their bracket and their record (36-1) not bad. The sports world continue to predict that one team will beat the tigers. Although the naysayers have not seen it yet, the anticiapation is building with each game. Don't forget this is the third straight year Calipari's team has made it this far The two previous trips ended in the regional finals. Even though they held the longest winning streak 21 straight, means nothing. The rumors that Memphis would be the first number 1 seat to be eliminated has not happened and and if you don't believe me ask UT- Arlington, Mississippi St or Michigan St, each team lost at the hands of the Tigers.
The overwheming fact may have to be acknowledged that Memphis is not only a good team but a force to be recognized. Memphis coach John Calipari said. "That everyone believes that we were going to get outplayed, outcoached, outskilled, outhustled, out-this, out-that, and we can't shoot free throws." Although whenever the buzzer sounds and Memphis wins, a new team is already picked to beat the Tigers.
Now comes Texas, you know if Memphis beats them they are in the Final Four, will they be considered good then?

Richardson Joins Obama


Former presidential candidate and governor of New Mexico has decided to endorse Obama. Governor Richardson had been wooed by the Clinton's but in the end, Mr. Richardson said his“affection and admiration for Hillary & Bill Clinton will never waver,” but there’s something special about this guy,” Mr. Richardson said of Mr. Obama and that's why I am supporting him". Richardson endorsement could add to Obamas credibility among Hispanics, as well as among Democratic super delegates whose choices could prove decisive if neither candidate can claim 2,025 delegates to win. Obama, has stopped Clinton from building momentum by consistently wining, and gaining more super delegates. Richardson choose Obama despite his close ties to the Clintons. He served as energy secretary and U.N. ambassador in Bill Clinton's administration, and the former president joined Richardson to watch last month's Super Bowl. But when it came time to decide, Richardson said Obama "will be a historic and great president, who can bring us the change we so desperately need by bringing us together as a nation here at home and with our allies abroad." The Clinton campaign, was looking forward for revotes in Florida and Michigan to support their claims of big wins in big states. Since the revote issue has been shot down, the point of no return is coming quickly. If it becomes inevitable that neither candidate can win and we pick one, will Clintons supporters support Obama or will Obama supporters support support Clinton? Possibly the only way to resolve this issue, one elects the other to becomes VP.

Obama and Hillary, what are you debating?


Everyday I listen to the candidates debate on how they will make changes to the world and make it a better place to live. The Iraq War is the hot topic right now, everyone has a plan to end it quickly. Although, the war the US is having is not actually with Iraq, its with the rising cost of living and how it is creating havoc on the lives of blue collar workers. In 2003, that was the year Bush pumped up the US to go to war with Iraq. The theory of the war was to control oil prices, dethrone Saddam, avenge 9/11 and catch Bin Laden. What did the war allow us to accomplish? We caught Saddam but we lost 5,000 of our American troops. 5 years later we have not captured Bin Laden and the havoc of record high gas and food prices is crippling the american economy! You see when I pump gas it is $3.29 a gallon. Milk at $4.02 a gallon is higher than gasoline. The cost of living has gradually increased since we started the war with Iraq and continues to reach record highs each day. So after weighing the options of what we attempted to accomplish, by starting the war. Now we need to figure out what we are going to accomplish by ending the war. Just quiting is not enough, we need a plan with actions on lowering the gas and food prices in the United States. The candidates plan should contain information on improving the economy, a time- line of how long it will take and a detailed discription of how taxed will be lowered and incomes/ increased. The trickle down effect of fighting with a country that has all the oil hurt the United States, and we are paying for it each and everyday. So we don't need any more hot air, if you don't have a clue ask somebody! Americans can not take 4 more years of this!

Flash flooding has created several deaths


The National Weather Service posted flood and flash flood warnings from Texas to Ohio, with tornado watches in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.

Their is currently a search for a 14-year-old boy apparently swept away by flood waters as he and a friend played in a creek. The friend was able to swim to safety and said he saw the boy get sucked into a drainage pipe, according to a Fire Department news release.







Hundreds of people have been forced to evacuate their homes because of More than 6 inches of rain drenched areas around Dallas.

Obama new speech


I unfortunately did not get to hear all of the speech but what I did hear was very poignant. His new speech was offering clarity on the recent attack on Pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr. The media main point was they wanted Obama to completely disown Pastor Wright and the church that he had been attending for the past 20 years. Obama key points was that he did not agree with something he heard from his pastor, but the man was considered family in his life and he would not disown him like he would not disown his white grandmother because of her fear of black people walking by or her making racial comments.
Every week Obama has to defend who he is and what he believes in. To give a few examples the first is:
1. Is he black enough? Because he has a white mother that makes the man not black enough?
2. Is he to white? Now that's a first, no matter how white you act you can believe one thing white people will never let you forget you are black.
3. Is he Muslim? I think that has truly been established from him attending his Christin base church for 20 years.
I am not surprise that he is receiving such attention, he is the first black american who may get the democratic nomination. Should we expect anything less?

March Madness is Here!


March madness is here again this might be one of the best seasons yet.
The four number one seeds are North Carolina, Kansas, Memphis and UCLA.
Tennessee has done something very unique, they have team in each bracket. East bracket is Tennessee, Midwest is Vanderbilt, South is Memphis and west is Belmont. Wouldn't it be great if it were a Tennessee year? Watch out for Memphis and Tennessee I think that these teams have a good shot to make the sweet 16, possible go all the way, so everyone buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Memphis, murders just keep happening!

When I moved to Memphis, TN in 2003 I thought it would be a great place to make a name for myself. I heard about the city and its reputations said it was a tough town. I generally am not a news watcher but imagine my horror, my first week in Memphis the news reported 7 murders in July. I was wondering what did I get myself into? Within the last couple of months Memphis is gaining star status not from Beale street or the Blues, but from "murder".


The Lester Street Killing
was a massacre that involved 4 adults and 2 children . This happened because Jessie Dotson, 33 who was release from prison August 2007 for murder; had a disagreement with his bother Cecil Dotson and killed him and everyone in the house so they could not identify him. His mistake was that 2 children survived the attack and identified the killer.
Once again Memphis keeps gaining attentions for what they continue to do, and that is kill. Memphis has gain a reputation for having filed more Bankruptcy's, having the most obese and one of the most stressed cities to live in.

To make matters on February 12, 2008 30-year-old James Hawkins had chopped off his girlfriends head, hand and feet and dumped the body in Mississippi River. The sad point to this story is that the father made the daughter help him dispose of the body after he killed the mother.






























One last story to ad fuel to the fire, their have been 2 separte incidents of school shootings over a disagreement, funny kids don't fight any more/they shoot. Now on occasion if they do fight the looser still will shoot as well. If the rod had not been spared then we would not have this problem.

The reason that I wrote the story is what is Mayor Herenton going to do to solve this problem that Memphis has? I wish that it was only a Memphis problem but when you look at the top 10 list of dangerous cities Memphis is number 6 and Miami number 9. So what is that telling you, the world is in tormoil and all these violent crimes being commited every day is is a sign of the times!

Ferro says Obama attack her because she was white


Geraldine Ferraro says Obama would not be a candidate if he were white. The comment does not give the american people credit for knowing who and what a good candidate is. So for all the white american people who believe in Obama whats wrong with them can they not see? Or has the
United States been taking in by Obama beautiful black skin. Funny Why didn't Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton have the same effect? They are black right? Although after Ferraro attack on Obama because he is black, she raises a white flag stating "he attacked her because she was white". Ms Ferraro thats far from the truth, you threw the first rock. I wonder if you had not opened your big mouth would you still have your job? I don't think Obama would have even acknowledged you. Since Obama attacked you because you were white does that mean Clinton was attacking you because you were a woman because she disagreed with you?

Your thoughts are absurd, and that is why the citizens of the United States are looking for a change. You may not be prejudice but your kind of backward thinking is what we are trying to get away from...

Governor Eliot Spitzer steps down



N.Y. Eliot Spitzer has stepped down as governor and apologizes after he was linked to prostitution ring, of course this was the same gentleman who made it his life to catch the bad guys, now look at him.
I don't know if anyone is really is looking at the picture but at the time that he was locking up the bad guys for the same thing, he was getting his freak on. His inauguration as governor did not stop his lust for prostitution.

Governor Spitzer wife has stuck with him when it is obvious of her hurt and destivation, many women say that they would leave. What would you as women do?

1) Would you stand by your man?

2) Throw everything away, with divorce?

Obama Vice President?









After hearing Hillary Clinton suggestion that she did not think that Obama was ready to be president; but then makes a statement that he would be a perfect candidate for vice-president contradicts what she said. The point that he is good enough to be number 2 but not good enough to be number one does not add up. The dream team concept is a great ideal, almost a guaranteed winner if they team up. The issues at hand is that Hillary is saying that Obama is not qualified to be number one, but he would be great for number 2, What? I like Obamas come back "How can number 2 offer number one a position"? Why beat a person down one minute then build praise them the next? The super delegates vote Clinton has 237, Obama 207. Pledge votes Obama 1404 and Clinton 1243. Total for Obama 1,611 and Clinton 1,480.









This means this race is close, we had a race like this 8 years ago when Bush became president. Over all Clinton has won where she needed to win, in the big states. Obama has won more poplar votes. He has done something that no other black man in history has ever done, he has transcended race. His message is clear and he not only has black votes, he is gaining votes from all races. This is not a black man running for President but a man with a plan... "Change" I like Clinton, she is a strong candidate and will I will support her if Obama does not get the nod. Personally Obama or Clinton will would make a great President, or Vice-President. I am just waiting to see who. Can any one tell me why the Republican Nomination needs less votes?
