Thursday Evening Starting Five: The Leave Emmett Till’s Grave Alone Edition
Because my comp was on the blink, Ed Hill’s conversation about McNair’s Alcorn State days, a McNair column and a Michael Jackson piece to be posted tomorrow. Have a peace Thursday evening. Wake up nice and chill on Friday. It’s the weekend baby!

Swim Club 2009:
I don’t know who that member is or if he has a personal relationship with the author of that little article, but it is wholly immaterial. In fact, the parents of some of those children who were turned away should be pressuring the leadership of Creative Steps Inc. to file a lawsuit for breach of contract and for whatever damages can be claimed. The potential for psychological damage is signficant. I suspect these comments and this article is merely a pre-emptive strike to undo the obvious damage done by this contractual violation. I’ll bet all those cute chocolate babies always wanted to own their own little private club.
Somebody call Terence Howard!

Not pressed about the MJ thing, but the Slutty Knob Slobbin’ Republicans shouldn’t be allowed to do much of anything with respect to his legacy. They should just suck it up and try to keep the Palin’s kids legs closed. And that Sanford guy…and that other guy and that Rudy G guy — it’s just too much. And they should definitely stay out of men’s bathroom’s.
Ooops!
I’m just waiting for the first idiot reporter to ask President Obama about that resolution…cuz you know its gonna happen…because of course the BLA-ACK president must weigh in on a congressional resolution…of course. That’s the state of journalism these days and this is how completely pathetic partisan politics has become. This will be turned into a “thing”. Its so sad.
I didn’t know that CNBC’s Jim Cramer touted Lenny Dykstra as some sort of stock guru and for the low low price of $999.95 you could get a subscription to get his stock tips on a site co-founded by Cramer! How bout that? Did anyone else know about this flim-flam?
Anyway, Dkystra might not be the best person to be giving out financial advice these days:

Yeah I read an article a couple of months back where he ran this glossy magazine into the ground because he was a straight up ass hole.
