When evil-doing comes like falling rain, by Bertolt Brecht

Like one who brings an important letter to the counter after office hours: the counter is already closed. Like one who seeks to warn the city of an impending flood, but speaks another language. They do not understand him. Like a beggar who knocks for the fifth time at the door where he has four times been given something: the fifth time he is hungry.

President Obama sang a brief part of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” this past thursday at a fundraiser held at the Apollo Theater.

Wow. The 69th  Annual Golden Globe Awards was a blast. Here’s a recap for what you missed!

Surprisingly, Ricky Gervais was the host for the Golden Globe awards again! He mentioned in the opening that the only way to become a host again is to make sure he insults someone!

Ricky Gervais opened up bashing celebs as usual. One thing that came up was breakups and marriages. Somehow, Justin Bieber and his pregnancy scare with some random girl came in the midst. Gervais insulted Bieber by saying “the only way he could impregnate a girl is if he used one of Martha Stewart’s turkey basters”. Gervais also teased the Golden Globes mentioning that it’s the second most popular award show after the Oscars. He compared the Golden Globes to the Oscars is to Kim Kardashian to Kate Middleton. Afterwards, he stated that isn’t true due to Eddie Murphy turning down the hosting gig. “If someone who accepted the role of Norbit turned down the Oscars, that’s bad.”

While Ashton Kutcher was announcing Best Actress for TV Series, Comedy or Musical he mentioned that Zoey Deschanel was “the cutest damn dang” and I most certainly agree with his observation [haha]. There may just be something go on between the two. We will see in due time…

BEYONCE’S BABY Triggers North Carolina Church Vandalism — Blue Ivy Is ‘SATAN’ [TMZ]

Beyonce‘s new baby Blue Ivy Carter is the devil incarnate — this according to some heartless vandal who defaced the sign in front of a North Carolina church yesterday … writing, “Beyonce had her baby. Satan is on Earth.”
The pastor at Beulah Hill Baptist Church in West End, NC tells TMZ, he discovered the vandalism yesterday after receiving numerous complaints from locals — and removed it immediately.

The pastor insists, the church had nothing to do with the apocalyptic message … it was simply the victim in a random act of mischief.

Blue — Satan? No. Illuminati? ALMOST DEFINITELY.

Jay Z’s New Song reveals Beyonce’s Previous Miscarriage [Audio]

Jay Z released a touching new song about his new child, Baby Blue Ivy on his website. In his new song, Glory, Jay Z calls his new born baby, “his greatest creation”.

“The most amazing feeling I feel, words can’t describe what I’m feeling for real / Baby, I paint the sky blue. My greatest creation was you.”

Later in the song, Jay Z shared that his wife, Beyonce, previously had a miscarriage. Let me remind you, this information was never shared until now.

“Last time the miscarriage was tragic / We was afraid you’d disappear, but nah baby you’re magic.”

And how can I forget the line:

“You’re my child with the child from Destiny’s Child.”

Not to mention you can hear Baby Blue Ivy crying at the end of the song – Priceless. Listen NOW! 

Is $50,000 enough for the Sterilized Victims of North Carolina [Eugenics Program]

This past Tuesday, a task force appointed for seeking compensation for sterilized victims of North Carolina, voted to compensate living individuals a one-time payment of $50,000.

If this is your first time hearing about this program, let me bring you to speed. Between the years of 1929 to 1974, North Carolina state officials sterilized more than 7,600 under the eugenics program.  Over 60,000 people were forcibly sterilized in the United States. During those years, the eugenics programs were aimed at creating a better society by weeding out people such as mentally disabled, criminals, or anyone who would be considered as “undesirable”.  Most victims were poor, black women deemed to be “unfit parents”.

If you were caught or appeared to be “promiscuous” or seen not getting along with schoolmates, you could be eligible for sterilization even as young as age 10!
