Suspect Arrested For Raping Wheelchair Bound Man
Of all the craziness in the news these days, this one takes the cake (no pun intended): a male pervert was taken into custody for raping a wheelchair bound man in Paoli, Pennsylvania. He must have been really hard up.
From CBS3:
Investigators in Chester County say they apprehended a suspect who allegedly raped a wheelchair-bound man in a supermarket bathroom.
Investigators said they arrested suspect Brian Parks Thursday evening at a Center City homeless shelter in connection to the August 8 incident.
According to investigators, the 54-year-old Parks stands accused of raping a man who was confined to a wheelchair inside the bathroom of a Paoli ACME.
“We feel totally comfortable that this is the individual who is responsible for the heinous crime at the ACME,” Sgt. Jack Bailey of the Tredyffrin Police Department explained.
Investigators said Parks allegedly locked his victim in a bathroom stall during the assault.
According to an arrest warrant, Parks “pulled his wheelchair backwards … forcefully remove the victim … and throw him to the floor.”
While being led into a police cruiser with a sweatshirt over his head, Parks said to reporters: “Find yourself some real crime to deal with.”
Investigators said Parks has an arrest record that spans through several states.
He is being at the Chester County Prison in lieu of $225,000 bail.
50 Cent: “I wish Kanye would come take one of my awards”
Kanye Under Fire
Troubled producer Kanye West has come under fire by the man who holds the highest office in the land after his bizarre antics on Sunday’s VMA broadcast. During preparation for a MSNBC interview yesterday, Barack Obama could be heard over a live feed calling Kanye a “jackass.”
An ABC News co-anchor tweeted the presidential diss, which was in turn retweeted by millions on the social, micro-blogging network Twitter.com last night.
By this morning it was damn near impossible to get on Kanye’s blog to see his response to the supreme insult, if he had any.
Many wonder how Kanye, who is extremely sensitive to criticism, will handle being called a jackass by the president of the United States.
Meanwhile Kanye apologized for a third time on Jay Leno last night for ruining Taylor Swift’s big night at the VMAs. But will Obama apologize to Kanye at a White House beer summit? Not likely.
Maybe now Kanye will see that his inappropriate behavior will no longer be tolerated. And hopefully he’ll just go away and hide somewhere with his manly looking beard Amber Rose.
Senate Votes To Cut Federal Funding To ACORN
According to Hotair.com, the Senate has voted to cut off federal funding to the criminal enterprise, ACORN. This move comes after BigGovernment.com‘s explosive hidden-camera expose’s into the fraudulent activities of the community organizing group that has been under investigation for years for voter registration fraud.
In 2008 Barack Obama donated $800,000 to ACORN, whose 400,000 members helped “get out the vote” in many urban areas using deceptive means such as registering dead people to vote.
Obama worked for the organization in the early 90s, and even helped train the members in community organizing tactics. The photo above of Obama training ACORN members was scrubbed from ACORN’s website before the election.
After two videos hit the Internet last week, and one video released yesterday showing ACORN workers in Baltimore, NY and DC giving tax evasion advice to a woman posing as a prostitute, Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) introduced an amendment to strip ACORN of all federal funding last night. The Senate passed the amendment 83-7.
And not a moment too soon: another damning video is set to hit the Internet today. According to Fox Channel’s Glenn Beck, this video will “blow your mind.”
So far there’s been no word from Obama, who as a Chicago attorney once represented this criminal organization in court. And together with Nancy Pelosi, Obama earmarked $8 BILLION in federal funding to ACORN after bringing the group in as a “partner” in the 2010 Census count.
On Friday, the Census bureau moved to cut ties with ACORN citing the organization’s questionable history.
OBAMA CALLS KANYE A ‘JACKASS’
An off-the-record comment by Barack Obama calling Kanye West a “jackass” was tweeted by an ABC reporter, who quickly deleted the tweet from ABC New’s Twitter account. But the tweet was retweeted by hundreds of thousands of followers, prompting an ABC spokesman to release a statement.
From Michael Calderones’ blog at Politico.com:
ABC News reporter Terry Moran caused quite a commotion tonight on Twitter following after writing: “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a “jackass” for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential.”
Although it wasn’t long before Moran removed it, with over a million followers, the tweet quickly bounced around Twitter through various users.
Now, an ABC spokesperson explains to POLITICO what happened:
In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.
Obama gets props for verbally expressing what many of us are thinking about that attention whore, Kanye.
RIP: Patrick Swayze
Patrick Swayze has died according to his publicist. He was 57.
The news broke back in March 2008 that the actor was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which spread to his internal organs. At that time media reports quoted a source who said he had only 5 weeks to live.
But Swayze vowed to fight the disease, and together with his wife Lisa Niemi, who both had pilot’s licenses, they flew to Stanford University Medical Center in California on the weekends for chemotherapy treatments.
By April 2008, the actor was well enough to continue working on a television series, The Beast, which premiered on A&E on January 15, 2009. Swayze was a heavy smoker who was frequently spotted lighting up on the set of his show. He told Barabara Walters that he seriously cut back on his smoking habit, though he hadn’t quit.
“I will go so far as to say probably smoking had something to do with my pancreatic cancer,” he told Walters.
After suffering a mild heart attack earlier this month, the actor left a hospital and went home to his Los Angeles home to die. His publicist said he passed away today (9/14).
Swayze’s best known roles were To Wong Foo, Ghost and Dirty Dancing.
Swayze originally thought he was suffering from gastroenteritis after he began spitting up blood in January 2008. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer tend to appear at a late stage when the cancer has already spread to other organs.
The symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, chills and severe upper abdominal pain that sometimes radiates to the back and right shoulder.
Pancreatic cancer is usually diagnosed in men 55 and older.
Celebs Out & About
TV personality Kim Kardashian, left, and singer Kelly Rowland watched the Jill Stewart Show at the NY public Library today as NY Fashion Week events continued today. LOVE Kelly’s pink satin peep toe booties. By the way, Kelly weighed in on the Kanye West VMA’s publicity stunt from last night.
Rowland told OK! magazine Kanye “should have been a little bit more human.”
“Everybody was blown away,” said the former Destiny’s Child member. “It was crazy because, to me, that moment belonged to Taylor,” added Kelly at the Jill Stuart show in NYC today. “With all due respect to Kanye and his genius, he should have been a little bit more human, as far as that being her first time getting an award.”
Poor Kelly obviously believes that Beyonce was not in on the stunt. She clearly was as evidenced by the fact that both she and Taylor Swift wore red dresses when Beyonce called her back out onstage to accept her award.
“I was very proud of Beyonce — she always handles herself like a lady and she’s extremely gracious. That’s one of the many things I love about her,” gushed Kelly. “She’s very, very classy.”
