Junk Mail + Moratorium + PSA - No BackTalk

I…I’m not sure what….who…um….

Sweet Jesus part the sky.

Who is responsible for this brand of fooliwog? Or as a burn-out English singer would say, “this f-ery”.

I thought seeing the 4yr old little boy in the store with his pants sagging was the end but this?

Oh, guess I could show you the “what” huh so you can judge for yourself.

You ready?

You sure?

Ok….but I’m telling you - it is as Clair Huxtable would say, “Sad, pitiful AND pathetic!”.

Introducing…..

Jesus be a fence…a case of Dr. Miracle and some Do Grow.

Parents, Aunties, Godmothers, Big Mamas, all those in the village….

please…

I implore you -

JUST SAY NO!!

This warrants a PSA don’t cha think?

Kwame’s Plea?

4-1-1 + Junk Mail - No BackTalk

Paper reports Kilpatrick’s plea to avoid jail

Monday, September 01, 2008 | 6:49 AM DETROIT, MI

– Lawyers for Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick have proposed a deal in which he would plead guilty to two felonies, make restitution and serve five years’ probation in exchange for avoiding jail time, a newspaper reported Sunday.

The Detroit Free Press quoted “a source familiar with all aspects of the negotiations” as saying Kilpatrick’s legal team also said he would give up his law license, not run for office for two years and do 300 hours of community service.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy hadn’t yet accepted the offer, the newspaper said.
A person briefed on the talks told The Associated Press on Sunday that the prosecutor’s office would not agree to any type of plea that doesn’t involve jail time. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of not wanting to publicly reveal specifics of the talks.

One Kilpatrick lawyer, James Thomas, told AP on Sunday morning that he had been out of town for a few days and was unaware of the plea deal proposal. He said that even if he had been aware of it he couldn’t comment on it.

Kilpatrick, 38 and in his second four-year term as mayor, is charged with 10 felonies in two cases. He also faces removal proceedings set to begin Wednesday before Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

The newspaper said the mayor would turn over his state pension to the city. Kilpatrick is a former member of the state House, where he was leader of the Democratic minority. It said he also would make at least $100,000 in restitution.

The newspaper said that in a letter to Worthy, Kilpatrick’s lawyers proposed having a neutral “legal statesman” assess the offer. It didn’t identity the lawyers.

On Tuesday, Wayne County Circuit Judge Robert Ziolkowski is expected to decide whether to grant Kilpatrick’s request to postpone the hearing before Granholm.

The Detroit City Council is asking Granholm to use her constitutional power to remove Kilpatrick from office. It says the mayor misled council members into approving an $8.4 million settlement with fired police officers in a whistle-blowers’ lawsuit. The council says it didn’t know the deal included provisions to keep a cover on romantic text messages between Kilpatrick and his top aide.

Kilpatrick also would be forced from office if convicted of a felony in either of the two criminal cases.
In the first case, he and ex-top aide Christine Beatty are charged with perjury, conspiracy, misconduct and obstruction of justice. They are accused of lying during the 2007 whistle-blowers’ trial about having an extramarital affair and their roles in the firing of a deputy police chief.

Text messages from Beatty’s city-issued pager contradicted their testimony.

The other charges against the mayor stem from a confrontation in July. A sheriff’s detective says Kilpatrick shoved him into another investigator as they were attempting to serve a subpoena on a friend of the mayor for the perjury case.

Hmmmm…”curious” turn of events, no? Sad situation.

Kevin Trudeau: Found the Cure

Junk Mail - No BackTalk

You know who Kevin Trudeau is right?

He of late-night infomercials? (No, not the guy talking about his child’s poop. Isn’t he scary? LOL)

Kevin Trudeau wrote “Medical Cures They Don’t Want You to Know About”.

He’s baaaaaaaccccccckkkkkk!

This time it’s “Debt Cures They Don’t Want You to Know About”.

*SIGH*

In the past, his informercials were set up like an interview or as if he were TV news anchor. THIS time around, it’s “The Hot Seat” - he’s actually the “special guest” in a roundtable talk-show type setup. Trudeau is seated in the middle of the table among four females (who they are is beyond me - other than the fact that one of them was playmate of the year in 2007 I think. *shrug*). Whatever.

The book retails for $29.95 and surprisingly enough, it’s not in bookstores yet. Oh wait, they just played that magic sound - the book is available for a limited time for $19.95!

Lawd, along with all these promises of how you can erase your debt COMPLETELY, this man just said, “IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT THAT YOU’RE IN DEBT”.

Yes, he said it. With a straight face. And a scowl for emphasis.

Jesus be a fence….and a decent FICO score.

*shaking my head*

That’s what I get for being up all times of the night.

Note: I don’t know if anything Trudeau says holds water. I’m sure there’s some element of truth and some valid info in what he writes/says. Howsomever, I don’t think the way to financial freedom is telling folks they are not at fault. Yes, even with all these preditory tactics in play, even with rules/regulations seemingly favoring corporations vs. people.

You know what happens when folks don’t accept their share of responsibility for the state of their lives? They continue to cycle through it.

But then, if we couldn’t find someone to go around in circles in their victimhood and to buy into the “it’s not my fault” mentalit, how would Trudeau, et. all move any products? Oh the irony

I sho’ do wonder what Kevin’s gonna “cure” next.
