Things We Learned......this Week-end...


A few........Monday afternoon......one-liners.....

So........How many Michael Jackson videos.....have you watched in the last 72 hours?

What was .....Jamie Foxx trying to prove ....with that wardrobe....on the BET Awards show...last night?

In the Atlanta - Boston MLB inter-league series in Atlanta this week-end.......There were way more "Sox" fans........in all three games.

But..........as bad as the "Bravos" have played.....They still only trail Philly....by 5 games.

Is .......NASCAR.......just boring now......or is it me? Another rain shortened race on Sunday.

Those Williams sisters........are looking good......across the pond .....at Wimbledon.

The N Y Yankees....reliever, Mariano Rivera........got his 500th save.....and ....his 1st RBI.

Yao Ming........the 7' 4" China dude .....center of the Houston Rockets.....may miss...all of next season.....talk about bad luck.....and bad legs?

Happy Trails.....Billy Mays....The Infomercial King .....died over the week-end. He was 50...

Whole Lotta.....Shakin'.....Going On....


When we last ......left the NBA.....

The Los Angeles Lakers had just won yet another world championship.......Kobe got his 4th.....Phil Jackson got his 10th (a ring for each finger)........And we awaited the draft.

The NBA Draft.......

No suprises.......but oh.......what deals were made.

Let's analyze one major trade........

Shaquille O'neal.......is now a Cavelier........joining LeBron James in Cleveland.

Cavs, Magic make big moves with draft-day trades


Our take? (pro & con)........

The cons: Shaq is 37......weighing over 300 pounds .......on human knees and ankles. The Cavs' won 66 games last year ....without him.
The offense is still built around King James. And ....it is a fast pace, jet set, run and gun type. Shaq.....will slow it down to a crawl.....

The pros: Shaq is 37........a proven winner. He gives the Cav's .......what they lacked in this years' play-offs..........a force down low. Limit his minutes in the meaningless regular season.....and ........turn him loose ...........in the post season.

You just knew this deal was coming down. Kobe, Finally won a ring.......without Shaq.

Now........enter Shaq.....and LeBron........focused on .......taking out Kobe.

Should be an interesting 2010 .......NBA season.

The King...........is Dead


White folks....have ....their king.....in Elvis.....We black folks.....have ours...

Michael Jackson........the king of pop.

Michael .......died today....

At the age of 50......But ....it's not a bad thing.

For .....Michael.......was not supposed to get old .....and gray. He was one of those icons.....who should be remembered........"forever young"

Who would have wanted to see an 80 year old.....Michael Jackson?

Age 50........was pushing it.

Sometimes..........it's better.......to die young. Especially for the eccentric Jackson.......What more to prove?

His legacy?

More in death.....than in a life.....of an aging pop star.....trying to make a come back.

Michael Jackson........heck.....we grew up together.....The "Thriller"album is still the all time best selling album.....ever.

Michael Jackson........may ........you rest in peace.....and do a "moon-walk".....in heaven.

From Yahoo.com:
Michael Jackson poses at a Pepsi Cola public relations event on the eve of the Radio City Music Hall Grammy Awards March 1, 1988 in New York City. Jackson's album

Michael Jackson dies

ernor, was in Argentina, having an affair.....The Atlanta Braves shut out the N Y Yankees.......



Let's start........

With North Korea. We can say this, they have ........balls....read this:

North Korea has said it would consider interception of its ships a declaration of war, and on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking to start another Korean War.

"If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all," a dispatch from the official Korean Central News Agency said.

What? This is coming from a country the size of Mississippi........To keep you informed....read this....from Bing.com:

North Korea threatens US as Washington, allies watch for signs…



This story.........is sad.....and the details are sketchy.....at best. Seems an ex-student....went into a gym....and shot his ex-coach.......in a small Iowa town. From CNN:

(CNN) -- An Iowa high school football coach died Wednesday after he was shot inside the school as athletes were lifting weights, the district superintendent told CNN.

Ed Thomas had been with the school district for more than 30 years and was well-known in the region.

Ed Thomas died shortly after he arrived at Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo, Iowa, according to a hospital statement.

He was flown to a hospital after he was shot about 8:30 a.m.at Aplington-Parkersburg High School, said Holly Fokkena, Butler County auditor.

No students were injured, although about 50 students were present at the time of the shooting, she said.

One person, an adult, was taken into custody, Fokkena said.

Superintendent Jon Thompson of the Aplington-Parkersburg Community Schools said crisis counselors were on scene to assist students who witnessed the shooting.

Thompson declined to provide more details on the shooting, saying they were not clear.

Thomas had been with the school district for more than 30 years, Thompson said, and was a well-known football coach in the region.

We will update this story.....Check Spelling

And then.......there's this governor.......a republican.......from South Carolina....From CNN:

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford admitted Wednesday that he has been engaged in an extramarital affair with an Argentinian woman. "I've been unfaithful to my wife," Sanford told a news conference in Columbia, the state capital. "I developed a relationship with what started as a dear, dear friend from Argentina." His voice choking at times, Sanford apologized to his wife and four sons, and said he would resign immediately as head of the Republican Governors Association.

When will these right winged..........bible carrying hypocrites .......quit trying to run politics in the great.......U.S.....of A...........They...those republicans........ preach all that 'moral ' stuff .......to us.....daily. Now , this?

Funny Stuff..........on a Thursday.


Tonto....and the Lone Ranger....

Had some interesting conversations as they traveled through the rugged west........

This was sent to me........from .......my mother.

Enjoy.....


The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep.

Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, 'Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?'

The Lone Ranger replies, 'I see millions of stars.'

'What that tell you?' asked Tonto.

The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, 'Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you, Tonto?'

'You dumber than buffalo s**t. It means someone stole the damn tent.’
