...sorry, it's been so long. Hopefully this makes up for it.
Keison Wilkins, a 33 year old man on trial for various charges including felonious assault, felon in possession of a weapon and firing a gun into a habitation was sentenced to 42 years in jail. But not without a week of crackpot drama, including the video above where Wilkins faked a heart attack to stall the proceedings.
For more than an hour, a woman lay on the floor in a hospital emergency room dying. She had been in the waiting area for more than 24 hours after she had been forcibly admitted to the psychiatric ward. Patients (psych unit patients mind you) sat just a few feet away, but seemed to not notice. Six staff members have been fired. Of course the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation promises a thorough investigation. (Read full story on CNN.com)
We live in such a sad time. No regard for human life, but if that had been a dog, every person in the waiting room and every staff member on that floor would have been fired and arrested for cruelty to animals.
The end is near.
Okay, first of all, allow me to apologize for being so slack with the postings. I've been in somewhat of a transition from full time employee to self employed. I've been in meetings, building a website, designing business cards, etc. and the reality is starting to settle in that I don't have to go into the office everyday. I just realized that I can post all day from home if I want to, so I'll be back on the blog in a day or so. I'm still trying to establish some sort of a regular routine. Staying up until 4am and sleeping until noon is not a good look.If my nieces are reading this, turn off the computer and go play xbox or something for a few minutes.
For everyone else, (hang on, I'm putting on Atomic Dog as the background soundtrack to this story) here's what happened (I'll try to give the less graphic version. If you want all the details, click here):
While attempting to serve a warrant Wednesday, U.S. marshals stumbled upon a man having sex with one of his dogs in his backyard. Alex Chaney, a 46-year old sex offender, clad in only a white T-shirt and black slippers, was standing in front of a chair where a brown and white dog was standing, the affidavit says. Marshals observed Chaney try to [teach Fifi the Kama Sutra].
In his statement to deputies, Chaney said that he woke up that morning with the urge to have sex. He then made himself a cup of coffee before going into the backyard, where he began to think about having sex with animals.
Chaney was arrested and booked on a count of crimes against nature, booking documents show. Bond was set at $80,000.
The moral of the story: The urge to have sex combined with fresh brewed coffee could cost you $80,000.
There were so many jokes that I wanted to throw in, but in the interest of good taste I'll allow you to use your imagination. Watch the news VIDEO.

This afternoon on the radio, I heard some rumblings about an offensive Barack Obama Assassination exhibit that was in New York across the street from the New York Times entrance. I did a little investigating and if you haven't heard or seen it here's what it's all about:
Officers said they patted down Frank Keys Jr. and found he was wearing a diaper. When asked if there was anything in the diaper, officers said Keys nodded his head.Okay, stop right there. The visual of this whole ordeal is cracking me up. So, if you were the officer, what would be your next course of action to investigate the dirty diaper?
a) sniff test b) touch test c) strip search
According to court documents, St. John Parish deputies near Laplace, La. stopped a white Hyundai Sonata for a moving violation and searched it with a K9 that gave a positive alert on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Police said they discovered 257 grams of heroin in Keys’ diaper. (source)
So the next time you overhear your cousins Terrell and Dayshawn volunteering to go to Wal-Mart to buy Granny some Depends, you'll know to go ahead and place a courtesy call to CrimeStoppers and collect your reward money.
If you haven't watched the Father's Day speech, here's the video in it's entirety. It's about 23 minutes long. Good message.
According to CNN.com:
The issue adds to his family values credentials and lets voters see him delivering a stern message to black voters.
"We can't simply write these problems off to past injustices," Obama said Sunday. "Those injustices are real. There's a reason our families are in disrepair ... but we can't keep using that as an excuse."
Obama urged black parents to demand the best from themselves and their children.
He compared it to his own presidential campaign and early comments from black voters who said they liked him but didn't think a black man could ever be elected president. He said they were admitting defeat before the competition had even begun.
"That was when I wasn't black enough. Now I'm too black," he said in a joking aside.
The next holiday on my calendar is Independence Day. John McCain's camp has got to be all over that one. I can't wait to see him under a tent somewhere with fireworks poppin' in the background, weighed down by flag pins, with a really confused look trying to figure out who mistaked his request for a little boost (of Geritol) for Lil' Boosie (...I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t do you know what that means?...).
Fox News needs to be held accountable for the reckless, inflammatory nature of their reporting under the guise of "fair & balanced." On Friday, an anchor at Fox News teased an upcoming segment on: "the gesture everyone seems to interpret differently," Fox News' E.D. Hill said: "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? ... We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says."
In the ensuing discussion with a "body language expert," Hill referred to the "Michelle and Barack Obama fist bump or fist pound," but at no point did she explain her earlier reference to "a terrorist fist jab." (source)
This show is so much fun to watch. Deion & Pilar are such a HOT couple. Lots of people are hatin on the 33-ish biracial smokin' hot beauty with the ridiculous body after 3 kids, money to the ceiling, and a sexy husband who is one of the greatest athletes in history. (She just made me remember why I don't want to cut my hair yet. Whew...that was close!)
Jesus' body has been found. After the Lord went missing from the side of a Detroit church on Monday, he was spotted on Wednesday, in the bushes in an alley a couple of blocks away from the church.
In the words of Mary Magdeline as she discovered Jesus' body missing from the tomb, "Sir, where have you taken him?! Where have you taken my lord?!"

The coroner's report has just been released on the cause of R&B singer Sean Levert's death.
County Coroner Frank Miller said Levert died from complications of sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in body's organs. The coroner said Levert also suffered from other conditions, including cardiovascular disease and withdrawal from alprazolam -- a drug used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks.
After Levert died, jail warden Kevin McDonough said he had been sick and guards were watching him because he had been acting strangely. When he started pounding on his cell door, guards strapped him in a restraint chair, McDonough said. Levert's breathing became shallow and he was taken to the hospital. (source)
What Would Jada [and Will] Do? Well, accorinding to Will Smith, they would work it out. On an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres Show, Will Smith gave the key to the couple's successful 10-year Hollywood marriage to which Ellen was amazed saying, "It's like dog years when you're married here," she said. "That's like 50 years, right?"
