37 States To Pass Legislation Blocking ObamaCare — If It Passes
Saturday, March 20th, 2010
Excellent article on Politico.com about the unconstitutionality of Barack Obama’s health care bill, which Congress will vote on this Sunday. If the bill passes, the government will force Americans to purchase health insurance even if they don’t want it. It will be like forcing people to buy car insurance when they don’t even own a car.
The bill will likely pass as Democrats buckle under the pressure from Obama. But individual states will pass legislation blocking the bill (if it passes). So there is still hope.
Read it and weep:
By now, most Americans know the dirty details of Obamacare. It raises taxes. It will force Americans to pay for other people’s abortions. It will put the government in charge of more than 18 percent of our private sector economy. It may provide benefits to up to 6.1 million illegal immigrants. It diminishes liberty and gives government more power.
Most egregiously, it is not constitutional. The Congressional Budget Office weighed in on an individual mandate to buy health insurance in 1994. The CBO stated:
“A mandate requiring all individuals to purchase health insurance would be an unprecedented form of federal action. The government has never required people to buy any good or service as a condition of lawful residence in the United States. An individual mandate would have two features that, in combination, would make it unique. First, it would impose a duty on individuals as members of society. Second, it would require people to purchase a specific service that would be heavily regulated by the federal government.”
We can expect lawsuits across the country challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare — if it passes. The Virginia General Assembly has already passed legislation prohibiting the federal government from forcing Virginians to purchase government-approved health insurance. Other states are sure to follow suit should the bill pass — setting up legal battles that will further drag out the debate.
If this bill passes, health care will cost far more than it does now, or ever did in the past. It will be more expensive for individuals and more expensive for businesses — and it will provide less service.

Groupie Alert: Waka Flocka Is Free
Friday, March 19th, 2010
EDITED: to correct info about jail…
The rapper known as Waka Flocka Flame is free. Waka, real name Joaquin Malphurs, was released from Houston County Jail, which is in Warner Robins Georgia, about 20 minutes south of Macon Georgia, this morning. Waka Flocka, so named after the sound a Glock handgun makes when the slide is cocked, was tweeting from his jail cell last night. In one tweet, he mentioned working on a mixtape with local mixtape king DJ Holiday (who I hear has gone Hollywood on us).
We all thought Waka would be sitting for a minute after his arrest on Tuesday in Houston for violating his Georgia probation.
According to Macon.com, Malphurs, 23, was released Thursday evening from the jail, just in time for a performance tonight in Gainesville, Fla. He is signed to So Icey Entertainment, a label founded by rapper Gucci Mane.
As you know, Waka and Gucci Mane are now beefing after Gucci unceremoniously fired Waka’s momanager, Debra Antney (who is a friend of Sandrarose.com, so I don’t care what they say about her).
Anyway, I reached out to Waka Flocka’s camp to see if we can get a “Morning Wood” post going on him. The ladies are really feeling him now that he’s been imprisoned and shot at a few times. That’s our women for you. Go figure.

Teyana Taylor Rejects Dorion (from College Hill)
Friday, March 19th, 2010I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet. Teyana Taylor (I don’t know what she does for a living) rejects reality TV personality Dorion’s kiss at a recent Clippers NBA game. Everyone knows Teyana is a lesbun and Dorion is How U Doin, so her rejection of Dorion — and him trying to kiss her anyway is hilarious and cute!

Drake’s New Leading Lady Can Really Sing
Friday, March 19th, 2010
Rapper Drake’s new leading lady in his “Over” video is British singer Rita Ora, a new artist on Jay Z’s Rock Nation label. Rita hails from Kosovo, and her blond hair and light skin will surely place her in tight competition with Beyonce when her album drops. And Bey’s hubby Jay Z has has already taken this beauty under his wing as he did with Rihanna before she blew up.
The only difference between Rita and Beyonce (other than the fact that Rita’s hair is real) is the fact that Rita can blow. I mean, she can sing, and that’s a compliment coming from me.
Expect to hear a LOT about Rita in the coming months. I, for one, can appreciate the fact that Rita’s vocals don’t make my ears bleed like Beyonce’s warbling and screeching does. I guess the only question left to ask is can Rita dance, and is it necessary for her to be able to roll across a stage effortlessly if she can really blow?
Peep the audio below of Rita’s duet with Britain’s David Craig to hear why you should be as excited about this young lady as Jay Z is.

Janet Jackson Wears Butt Pads On Leno Show
Friday, March 19th, 2010Pop legend Janet Jackson appeared on the Jay Leno Show last night and her shamelessly enhanced butt cheeks were very noticeable. Janet deliberately chose a two-pice skirt set one size too small to give definition and lift to her enhanced buttocks. If Janet were to perform no one would notice how bad she sounded because all eyes were on her false pads.
Butt pads, or artificial butt enhancement garments, is all the rage among female celebrities who were not blessed genetically with junk in their trunks. Butt pads have become as common place in a woman’s wardrobe as her underwear. I guess Janet figures if Nicki Minaj, Kim Kardashian and Lola Luv can gain fame and attention for their artificially inflated buttocks, then why can’t she?
