Tina Davis Denies Having Textual Relations With Her Client
Welp, that response only took 24 hours. The title of this post is courtesy of Miss Info, lol!
Tina Davis, Chris Brown’s manager, issued a press release via her lawyer about yesterday’s rumor that she was the set-it-off-spark for Chris and Rihanna’s fight:
“The relationship between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown is that of manager and client. There has never been any other relationship. The rumors in circulation are false. There are no emails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports.
If the source of the false rumors is identified, legal action will be taken. Given the nature of the legal issues affecting Mr. Brown, Ms. Davis will not be making any further statements.”
So….it seems whoever gave TMZ the scoop yesterday is at risk of a libel suit? However, this release is interesting because it does not say that there were no text exchanges between manager and client in that car that night….ehh, maybe it was all hogwash? Perplexed. LINK

FanMAIL: Obama is Not the One

- Good Afternoon Sandra,
I knew the comments would be off for this post but I have been waiting for it all day. I am not a kool-aid drinker as you like to call the die-hard Obama stans, but I did vote for him because like it or not, Presidential elections in the US are really just a competition between the lesser of two evils. My eyes are/were wide open regarding his presidency and like Tavis Smiley I think is should be held accountable for his decisions/choices. I didn’t agree with his stance on this particular issue. He signs this Omnibus package with the earmarks because it is for last year’s budget, like that means it doesn’t count.
This would have been a perfect opportunity for him to show that he means business with changing DC. It may be last year’s budget, but with his signature it becomes a part of his legacy.
I understand there are earmarks, or thing called earmarks, that are beneficial to different states, but I doubt there 8,500 worth. Let’s be realistic, we only have 50 states plus DC. I wanted to see him do what Kevin Kline did in the movie “Dave”; where he sat in a room with the muckety-mucks of Washington and did a line by line survey of the budget to determine what was needed and what wasn’t. It would not have hurt the country had Obama sat down and did a line by line assessment of this Omnibus bill before signing.
I am not a republican or a democrat, but I am an American and am unhappy with the direction this country is headed. It is not a republican or democrat issue since both parties are to blame for our current state. As such, we need a leader who is strong enough control the toddlers in the sandbox and make then get along. I still think it is too early to judge Obama’s presidency, but so far, he is not the one.
Thanks for reading my rant. I love your blog. Keep up the good work!!!
Patrick Swayze Near Death (Again)
From Thedishrag blog:
-
Patrick Swayze’s photos of the cover of The National Enquirer — Patrick Swayze: The End — don’t look too encouraging to his many fans.
The beloved actor’s face appears gaunt and skeletal, and he’s lost all his hair.
The actor was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2008 and has been admirably upbeat while fighting a hard battle against the disease.
In January, he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and had to miss his Television Critics Association appearance to discuss his new show, “The Beast.”
His quote “I’m proud of the way I fought it” also seems to indicate that the end may be near.
We pray that he can beat this.
Obama Lied, the Economy Died
Remember these words from Barack Hussein Obama: “If any Bill comes across my desk filled with earmarks I will Veto it!”
Or this: “We need earmark reform and when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure we’re not spending money unwisely.”
Well, the master of double speak has proven once again that he can’t be trusted to keep his word. After calling the $410 billion omnibus bill “imperfect”, Obama signed the bill containing 8,500 earmarks into law anyway. But unlike the hype surrounding the signing of the $800 billion stimulus package, Obama signed the earmark pork bill behind closed doors.
-
Acknowledging it’s an “imperfect” bill, President Barack Obama said he will accept a $410 billion spending package but insisted it must signal an “end to the old way of doing business.”
The massive measure funding federal agencies through the fall contains nearly 8,500 pet projects, known as “earmarks” and denounced by critics as pork.
Obama defended earmarks when they’re “done right,” allowing lawmakers to direct money to worthy projects in their districts — but added they’ve been abused, and he’ll work with Congress to curb them.
“I am signing an imperfect omnibus bill because it’s necessary for the ongoing functions of government,” Obama declared. “But I also view this as a departure point for more far-reaching change.” LINK via MM
