More Kwame


The big hearing regarding getting Kwame out of office is streaming for me right now (10:30 am ish)…I’m very excited to see what’s the what!! So K is saying that this whole thing is unfair because Granholm is biased and he can’t get a fair hearing. I also find it amusing that he’s not present due to what sounded like me “is in New York on business” but isn’t he required to remain in Michigan until this hearing is over or was it one of his other hearings? So now the judge is reading and talking and basically speaking gibberish! I would like him to start speaking English & say something I want to hear. It seems as though both sides have turned in info showing how others have done similar things & either walked away or been axed so that really serves no purpose. They are talking about fair & just treatment but really it’s the city that needs fair & just treatment, which means that Kwame has to leave. I got a Sunday paper but haven’t had the chance to read it but apparently Kwame was ready to make an offer that would include him leaving office or some such business. Obviously I’ll have to read the article otherwise I’m just talking out my ass.

Ok so basically, the judge said that Granholm is more than welcome to move forward with her hearing (tomorrow) to remove Kwame from office. Kwame’s peeps want to file an appeal while Granholm’s team is obviously against it. Judge said if you want to appeal go ahead but I’m not gonna stay. The judge made a couple jokes about all the paper work he’s been dealing with & he seemed like he was very happy for this issue to move forward & I’m guessing out of his lap…at least for now.

Pregnant Teens

So what is up with these young teens making pregnancy pacts with their friends? Apparently this group of 17 girls from the Boston area (many under the age of 16) are all pregnant. The local teen health clinic noticed a rise in pregnancy tests & many girls being upset when they found out they weren't pregnant. Some girls were so excited when they found out they were that were jumping around giving each other high fives & planning baby showers. Are you freaking kidding me? At the age of 30 I'm capable of taking care of myself but a kid...hell no! I do a good job at keeping my plants alive but that's about all I can handle at this point. Now the worst part of all of it is that one of these freaking girls got pregnant by a 24 your old homeless man, HOMELESS man!! It would make a lot more sense to me if these girls were having babies with their boyfriends & trying to be all grown up, but a homeless man, that's freaking sick. You have no idea what you are getting yourself into, no idea of family &mental health history, they could have an STD, and I highly doubt he smelled all that great either. Sure, I don't blame the homeless man, shit some 16 your old girl wants to have sex with him so I'm sure he jumped to the challenge, god only knows how long it had been since he got laid. Regardless, the boys who have an actual identity could end up having charges pressed against them because it is illegal to have sex with anyone under the age of 16 in Mass. consensual or not. Now I'm sure Juno will be blamed, and Jamie Lynn Spears will be blamed but the bottom line is, it all comes down to the parenting...their parents obviously didn't instill self esteem in them, or they would have other plans for themselves, like college maybe? Also, please be reminded that in Juno, she didn't have the baby so that her & her friends could bond, she gave it away so she could have a future for herself, it was an accident not a plan. I just wonder what will be next & this just makes it even more clear why I don't want kids.

Things Happening to Other People

Tim Russert died unexpectedly at the age of 58 after a sudden collapse at the NBC studios on Friday. For more info check out this article at CNN. My heart goes out to his family, friends & colleagues.

The Bravo A-List awards were on last week & Lauren Hutton was given an award & gave the most bizarre acceptance speech I’ve heard in a while.

Fergie’s daughter Eugenie (not Fergie the singer, the original Fergie, the actual Duchess, of York that is) was busted frolicking around with some friends at her boarding school with no clothes on, so what...let the kids frolick!

Spencer & Heidi are buying guns apparently, not sure if Heidi is getting one to try to take him out or what but I’m guessing that Lauren might want to watch her back!

Jessica Simpson is putting out a country album, probably not wise…I don’t think it will sell. Her last pop album didn’t sell for crap so why would this one? I think she should just stick to being hot, her music career isn’t all that & neither is her acting career…actually, she should probably go back to singing religious music to be perfectly honest.

R. Kelly isn’t guilty (yeah right) and Linda Hogan is a cougar? I’ll disagree with that one, just because you have a young boyfriend doesn’t make you a cougar, he has to be hot not a clone of your ex husband. I don’t understand why those 2 split…she’s dating a younger version of him & he’s dating a younger version of her…his daughter, oh no wait that wasn’t her it just looks like her (gross).

Katie Holmes is gonna be on Broadway, I have no feelings about this either way. I was a huge fan of hers until she married goofball & now I do not like or dislike her, but I do dislike her husband & I’m not gonna deny that, I always have!

Trent unveiled the new Pink is the New Blog site & had a kick ass party too. Check out his site to see more!!
