Obama says shooting of officers reminder of sacrifices
Barack Obama’s statements following a shooting that left 5 New Jersey officers injured today were remarkably swift considering it took him two days to issue a statement about the black Muslim shooter who took the life of an Army recruiter in June.
Maybe Obama was told that the suspects in this recent shooting were not Muslim?
The five Jersey City officers were shot by two robbery suspects during a running gun battle that started at 5 a.m. and ended when officers forced their way into an apartment where the suspects had barricaded themselves.
Both suspects — an unidentified male and female — were killed in the shoot out. The pair had been under surveillance by police following an armed robbery last month that left one man wounded.
The most critically injured officer arrived at a local medical center in full cardiac arrest with no vital signs but doctors were able to resuscitate him. One side of his face was blown away and he will require plastic surgery to repair his jaw, sinuses and the left eye socket.
Obama sent his thoughts and prayers to the families of the officers and said the shooting was a reminder of the sacrifices that officers make every day. “We are confident that they are going to come back as strong as ever,” he said.
Imitation Wood?
A loyal reader (who insists she’s not a Cougar) sent these pics to me. She was complaining that rapper Soulja Boy stuffed his drawls with a pair of socks. I’m not enough of an expert on sock stuffing or Soulja Boy to render an opinion either way.

Rihanna Album Cover?
This is wack. I’m very disappointed. Rihanna’s album better be on fiya when it drops in December.
T.O.’s Reality Show Won’t Last 3 Episodes
Whose dumb idea was it to give obnoxious narcissist Terrell Owens his own TV reality show? What exactly is there for him to talk about other than himself? T.O. is a one-dimensional character with no charm or charisma. Even all those chocolate honeys featured in the show can’t save this boring trash.
Jefferson Pays Gold Digger To Go Away Quietly
As I wrote yesterday, I had no idea who NBA star Richard Jefferson was until my readers emailed me to say he left his gold digging fiance at the alter.
According to online reports, Jefferson is easing his ex-fiance’s pain by giving her a six-figure pay-off. I think he did the right thing since money is apparently what she was after from the start.
In an interview, Jefferson said, “There was a lot of stress and tension in the relationship. We’ve been through a lot — but we just couldn’t continue.”
That’s code for she wouldn’t sign the pre-nup.
Say what you will about Jefferson being gay, but what sense would it make for a down low brother to spend $2 million on a wedding just to cancel it the day before? Wouldn’t he go ahead with the wedding as a cover — and to shut his critics up?
It sounds more like Jefferson realized Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols was a gold digger. Especially if what he said about them constantly bickering is true. Who wants to marry a golddigging nag?
Mechelle: Steve McNair Did Not Leave a Will
In addition to being an adulterer and a cheat, NFL legend Steve McNair was also lax in his responsibilities to his family. The 37-year-old former Titans quarterback obviously thought he was immortal so he didn’t bother to prepare a will.
According to the AP, his widow Mechelle, in court documents revealed McNair didn’t leave a will before being gunned down by his jumpoff two weeks ago.
A Nashville judge made Mechelle the administrator of McNair’s estate — ensuring that she and the two sons she bore McNair are well taken care of.
But where does that leave his other two sons by a previous relationship? And what about family members such as his distraught mother, Lucille? What if she didn’t get along with her daughter-in-law? Is she out in the cold?
Instead of chasing tail, maybe McNair should have been handling his business.
Rihanna & Melissa: It Must Be Love
Rihanna and her “personal assistant” Melissa seem to be more open with their relationship lately — and we LOVE it!
In this pic posted on Rihanna Daily, we can easily see who is the top and who is the bottom in their relationship. These two are inseparable. We still don’t know exactly what Melissa does as RiRi’s Assistant. We do know that there aren’t too many Hollywood starlets with their assistant’s name tattooed on their bodies.
Maybe Rihanna finally realizes that a man is not what she needs in her life. Maybe Melissa is all the woman she needs?
