Your Morning Cup...of Crazy Azz Folks...

In NC...

Meet Dorothy Densmore. The 86-year-old North Carolina woman was locked up in the Mecklenburg County jail for two days in connection with a bizarre pizza delivery incident. According to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department report, the octogenarian called 911 over 20 times in less than a half hour on Sunday. A police spokeswoman told TSG that Densmore's emergency was that a pizza place refused to deliver a single slice to her Charlotte apartment, and as if that wasn't upsetting enough, she wanted the person who answered the phone at the pizza joint arrested for calling her a "crazy old coot." Instead, it was the 5-foot, 98-pound woman who ended up posing for a mug shot after she allegedly scratched, kicked, and bit the hand of the cop who showed up at her home in response to all the calls. Densmore is charged with misusing the emergency telephone system and resisting arrest.

My neck of the woods...



Four Tennessee lawmakers, a former lawmaker and two others were indicted Thursday amid a federal bribery investigation into the business dealings of a state senator from a powerful Memphis political family, officials said. That senator, John Ford, also is charged with witness intimidation, which included telling an undercover agent that "if he caught someone trying to set him up he would shoot that person, kill them, so there would be no witnesses," the indictment says. The others charged are Sens. Kathryn Bowers and Ward Crutchfield; state Rep. Chris Newton; and former state Sen. Roscoe Dixon, who is now a top aide to the Shelby County mayor. Newton is a Republican and the others are Democrats. All are charged with taking bribes from undercover federal investigators to influence legislation concerning a bogus company set up by the FBI called E-Cycle Management Inc. The company purported to be a recycler of outdated electronic equipment.

I Told You It Would Just Be a Minute...

Quote for the Day

"Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets."
Arthur Miller

Last Week
Last week was hell in a handbasket...I felt like my walls were caving in...Have you ever felt like your time was passing right before your eyes...Well this week was in a way a wakeup call...Well I have made the decision to stay where I am and go to school unless somebody wants to drop a large amount of cash for a job...I heard back from a few of the jobs I applied to, but the salary wasn't talking about nothing...So I decided to just go ahead and get this master's stuff on out the way so I can really do what I want to do...And another reason I decided to stay was because there was word on the street I can get more grant money than I thought I was going to be able to get...So hopefully that part of me staying works out...And then there was alot of stuff going on with work, family, the lady, the full nine...And I just needed some time to regroup my thoughts...I hope yall didn't miss me that much...I'm glad that week is over...I have to learn really to take everyday one at a time...I think another chapter is about unfold...Don't know what it is going to bring...But thats life...

More Important Sh!t

-Popping bottles...

You might think the new pope would prefer water or wine, but Pope Benedict XVI has given the thumbs up to … beer...Thanks to the pope, a German brewery is enjoying new success thanks to his “endorsement.” Their sells on their beer were in the tolet until the pope hade 185 gallons of beer sent to Rome...I need to go kick wit da pope...I can just imagine him now...Chillin with the rest of his holy hommies...



-There He Go Again...

The Reverend Al Sharpton is calling on Mexico's president to apologize for what he calls racist comments.

On Friday, Vicente Fox said Mexicans were willing to take jobs "that not even blacks want to do in the United States."...Fox made the comments in response to new U.S. immigration rules affecting Mexicans, and he says he refuses to apologize...

Sharpton said Fox's explanation of his comments was not an apology, and that it only furthers stereotypes...

“To try and explain away comments that are so offensive only embellishes the pain,” Sharpton said Monday...“To try and act as though we misinterpreted it brings insult to injury.”

A spokesman for Fox says the president’s comment is being misinterpreted....He says the president was speaking in defense of Mexican migrants as they come under attack by the new rules...President Fox refused to apologize Monday for saying Mexicans in the United States do the work that blacks won't...Why is this a big deal? Hell he ain't lying...They do the work that lower class blacks and others do not want to do...Whats the issue...

The only issue I have is Al Sharpton's hair...Just look at the time line...




Now which is worse?

Cheryl "Peaches" Delaney of Englewood, NJ, was working the night shift at a McDonalds in 1974. The 16 year-old high school junior had just been severely reprimanded by her manager, one Arnold McFarland, over her afro hairdo being unprofessional. McFarland gave her an ultimatum of rocking the clown hat or being fired, and Delaney, working to save money for cosmetology school, relented.

Hours later, she noticed several of her classmates in the drive-through window, on their way to a party in Lucious Jones's booger-green AMC Pacer. The four of them ordered four hamburgers, and were going to split three orders of fries and two cokes. Peaches, filling the order, and noticing that McFarland had taken his nightly thirty-minute bathroom break, had an epiphany. She locked eyes with LaWanda, who was on fries, and Buddy, who was on the register, and, in a blur of motion, they stuffed 5 jumbo bags with every single hamburger, cheeseburger, French fry, cookie, and other item they could find, accepting $1.01 from Lucious Jones as payment.

Cheryl "Peaches" Delaney had just invented The Hook-Up.

Well let me get on down so I can get a hair cut...He let me ask you a question...Should I go just keep it like it is with the low cut Cesar...Or should I step out on a limb and get it cut like this...



So what you think?
