This story has really blown up.
I thought that Young Jeezy saying he was glad shoes were thrown at President Bush would be a big controversy, but many people are offended by the “N” word, as well as the rude and outlandish behavior exhibited by Jay Z and Young Jeezy.
The Huffington Post totally missed the entire point of the outrage and freely called all Conservatives “racists”. They do not fact check at that website.
Many people, especially Blacks, are offended by the actions and words of Jay Z and Young Jeezy. As a fan of Jay Z myself, I thought he was more mature than going on a rant against President Bush. I listened to conservative talk radio today and many Blacks called into Limbaugh, Hannity, and Schnitt today expressing their disgust at Jay Z and Young Jeezy.
Hopefully, President Obama denounces Jay Z and Young Jeezy, but I doubt that happens.

A 62-year-old man died after being pinned between two vehicles in the parking lot of a Metairie drug store Tuesday morning, authorities said.
Rodney Conti, 5908 Marcie St., Metairie, was was pronounced dead about 4 p.m. at University Hospital, according to a news released issued by Sheriff Newell Normand.
The accident occurred about 11:43 a.m. at C’s Discount Pharmacy, 1401 Veterans Memorial Blvd., according to Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for the department.
Conti was walking toward the pharmacy when a 1994 Nissan Sentra, driven by Audrey Bentle, 73, of 315 Ash Street in Metairie, accidentally accelerated. Conti was pinned between her vehicle and an unoccupied 2004 Ford Crown Victoria, according to traffic fatality investigator Brandon Nielsen.
According to witnesses, the woman never took her foot off the accelerator, and Conti repeatedly pleaded for someone to get the car off of him while her tires continued to spin and smoke.
It was the smoke that attracted a trio of off-duty firefighters from the East Bank Consolidated Fire Department. Glen “Smurf” Hankel, John Dunn and Jerry Schaefer were working at the temporary headquarters of the Jefferson Parish Firefighters Association in the 800 block of Homestead Avenue and rushed over to help.
Several witnesses who tried to call 911 got only busy signals, so the firefighters dialed up the nearest firehouse and had them contact dispatch, according to pharmacy employees and firefighters.
The firefighters were careful not to move any of the vehicles until paramedics arrived. Schaefer said he tried to keep Conti calm until he was freed about 11:56 a.m.
Bentle was not issued any citations, but the district attorney’s office will be consulted in the case, Normand said in the release.
Damn!
Maybe it is time to reconsider the driving privileges of senior citizens.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – A graduate student from China was decapitated with a kitchen knife in a campus cafe at Virginia Tech by another graduate student who knew her, police said Thursday.
Xin Yang, 22, was killed Wednesday night after arriving at the campus from Beijing on Jan. 8 to begin studying accounting, Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum said.
Her accused attacker, 25-year-old Haiyang Zhu of Ningbo, China, knew the victim but no motive for the slaying has been determined, Flinchum said. School records showed that Haiyang was listed as one of Xin’s emergency contacts.
Haiyang was charged with first-degree murder and was being held without bond at the Montgomery County Jail. His attorney, Stephanie Cox, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Haiyang and Xin had been having coffee in a cafe in the Graduate Life Center, where Xin was living. About seven other people who were in the coffee shop told police that the two hadn’t been arguing before the attack.
Police received two 911 calls shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday, Flinchum said, and were on the scene in a little more than a minute to take Haiyang into custody.
Flinchum said Haiyang was not known to the campus police or to the university team that deals with mentally disturbed students.
University officials said Haiyang arrived on campus last fall and was a Ph.D. student in agricultural and applied economics.
The stabbing was the first killing on campus since a mass killing on campus in 2007, when a student gunman shot 32 people and then took his own life.
“An act of violence like this brings back memories of April 16,” university President Charles Steger said. “I have no doubt that many of us feel especially distraught.”
University spokesman Larry Hincker said a campus alert system put in place after the mass shootings by Seung-Hui Cho in 2007 sent out messages to 30,000 subscribers by e-mail, text messages and telephone voice mails Wednesday night.
Because a suspect was in custody, the messages were sent out as notifications rather than as emergency alerts, he said.
Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine offered condolences to the campus.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of Xin Yang today — and with the broader Virginia Tech community,” he said in a statement. “The tragic attack on campus this week has no doubt revived terrible memories for countless members of the Hokie family.”
This happened last night!
Seven people watched Zhu decapitate Yang with a kitchen knife in the school cafe! And no one made an attempt to stop this?

When Virginia Tech authorities arrived Wednesday night at a cafe inside the Graduate Life Center, they found a decapitated female victim who had arrived on campus just two weeks ago and a young man they have now charged with killing her.
Authorities, including Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum, outlined some of the gruesome details of Wednesday night’s murder on campus at a press conference this morning.
They said Xin Yang, a 22-year-old graduate student from Beijing, arrived Jan. 8 to begin her studies in accounting at the Pamplin College of Business. She lived in the graduate life center.
Haiyang Zhu, 25, a graduate student from China, was charged late Wednesday with first-degree murder and is being held without bond. He is a Ph.D. graduate student majoring in agricultural and applied economics. He began his studies at Virginia Tech at the start of the 2008 fall semester. Tech officials said the victim and suspect knew each other and Yang listed Zhu as an emergency contact.
Flinchum said the two were sitting at a table at the Au Bon Pain cafe in the Graduate Life Center when the disturbance began. There were seven witnesses to the events and two called 911 at 7:06 p.m.
When authorities arrived less than two minutes later, they discovered Yang’s dead body, Zhu and a large kitchen knife that they believe is the murder weapon. Zhu did not resist arrest. There is no record of him being called to the attention of Tech or Blacksburg police or the university’s threat assessment or CARE team before Wednesday.
Classes were not canceled today and the graduate life center is open. The windows and glass doors of Au Bon Pain are blocked from the inside and the cafe is closed.
Holy crap!

The romantic fantasy “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” led Academy Awards contenders Thursday with 13 nominations, among them best picture and acting honors for Brad Pitt and Taraji P. Henson, and a directing slot for David Fincher.
Other best-picture nominees are “Frost/Nixon,” “Milk,” “The Reader” and “Slumdog Millionaire.”
As expected, Heath Ledger had a supporting-actor nomination for “The Dark Knight” on the one-year anniversary of his death from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. But the Batman blockbuster was shut out from other top categories such as best picture and director. …
Notably snubbed in the acting categories were Clint Eastwood for “Gran Torino,” Sally Hawkins for “Happy-Go-Lucky” and Kristin Scott Thomas for “I’ve Loved You So Long.”
The Dark Knight was shut out of Best Picture and Best Director because the movie is wholly conservative.
Andrew Klavan wrote a review of The Dark Knight on July 25th. He compared Batman to President Bush. Part of the review states:
The true complexity arises when we must defend these values in a world that does not universally embrace them — when we reach the place where we must be intolerant in order to defend tolerance, or unkind in order to defend kindness, or hateful in order to defend what we love…
Liberal Hollywood did not universally embrace The Dark Knight.

A young woman is locked in the bathroom of an abortion clinic after her aborted baby was born alive.
A film about decisions, their affects and the echoes they leave behind. Based on the shocking World Net Daily article by Ron Strom, on victim’s testimonies, and real 911 calls about one of the most controversial subjects of our time, “22 Weeks” achieves to confront both sides of the spectrum and their perspective to the ongoing question: “what would you do?”
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
I definitely want to see this movie.
The scary part about all of this is that it is - true.

A STUNNING Miss World finalist had her hands and feet amputated – after contracting a killer bug, according to reports.
Doctors carried out the drastic surgery on Mariana Bridi da Costa after she was struck down with a urinary disease – which can be fatal.
Her boyfriend Thiago Simoes said 20-year-old Mariana fell ill on December 30 – but was initially misdiagnosed with kidney stones.
The infection quickly spread – causing her to go back to hospital for tests that revealed her condition.
Septicemia set in her limbs, cutting off circulation and forcing doctors to amputate her hands and feet.
Her father, Agnaldo da Costa, told a Brazilian newspaper that “the concern is over her life”.
Mariana twice made it to the national finals of the Miss World contest and last year traveled to China to participate in the Miss Bikini International pageant.
No hands or feet?
I’d still hit it.

Jack Murtha says that he will take all of the Guantanamo terrorist detainees into his district.
Hot Air reports:
Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., says he’d be willing to house prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in his congressional district if President Obama makes good on a plan to close the U.S. prison there.
As one of his first acts in office, the president circulated a draft Wednesday that would shut down Guantanamo Bay within a year.
Murtha only has a minimum security prison in his district. But he says he’d have no reservations about holding detainees there in a maximum security prison.
“Sure, I’d take ‘em,” said Murtha, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war. “They’re no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo.”
Is this a wise idea?
One Pennsylvania voter offers a compromise:
“We’ll take the detainees if Gitmo will take Murtha.”
Let’s trade!
(Just kidding. Just send Murtha to Guantanamo. We do not want terrorists receiving Constitutional rights… right?)

Some idiot at the Huffington Post writes:
Michelle Malkin Doesn’t Care About Black People
To mark the day, Michelle Malkin kept a whimsical inauguration cliché count, supposedly monitoring utterances of the “First black president in American history” and “We are witnessing history.”
Michelle didn’t hide her contempt for all this attention being paid to Obama or for the credit he’s getting for being our first black president. She also made space on her blog to point out that no one in the media was covering how Obama inauguration celebrant Jay-Z often uses the word “nigga.” Then she uploaded a video on her site to prove it and sniffed, “And you wonder why some of us don’t believe MLK’s dream has been completely fulfilled …”
Now, many of you may be wondering why someone who is of Asian decent would be so antagonistic toward Obama and his background. And while Michelle may be a whore for the far-right — and she is certainly being a good one by discounting this momentous event — it still gives us pause. While most whores love to bring joy to people, it seems this one only seeks to spread hate.
No, I do not link to the Huffington Post. Their entire website is comprised of true hatemongers. The same is true of Daily Kos.
Anyways, who says that all conservatives have to be “white”? That is what the “writer” of this article is implying.
Who cares if Barack Obama is black? Or half-black and half-white? What will matter in the end will be President Obama’s policies, and so far, he has made mostly liberal and Socialist decisions.
As a Conservative (and a Puerto Rican, if people are Huffington Post are wondering about my nationality), President Obama’s liberal and Socialist policies worry me.
To my fellow Scoop This bloggers, are you guys and gals whores as well?
