T.E.N. Financial Pages, aka-Tam's Article Review (I Call BS pt 2)

So, on yesterday, this following announcement was made: WASHINGTON — The United States economy officially sank into a recession last December, which means that the downturn is already longer than the average for all recessions since World War II, according to the committee of economists responsible for dating the nation’s business cycles. In declaring that the economy has been in a downturn for almost 12 months, the National Bureau of Economic Research confirmed what many Americans had already been feeling in their bones. So when they say "what many Americans had already been feeling in their bones, that wasn't The Arthur setting up in them bones??? Just wondering. Basically, somebody finally decided to tell the truth about how it takes damn near two incomes for people to stay afloat! Here's more from that article...*mumbles incoherently* But private forecasters warned that this downturn was likely to set a new postwar record for length and likely to be more painful than a...

T.E.N. Political Pages, aka-Well Pardon Me

Herro! On yesterdeh, George "Whatdahellhappened" Bush pardoned and commuted some people's sentences. I guess he wanted to get his points or something up. It doesn't really matter much because he's just fighting to stay relevant. It still ain't working. Anyhoo, this is interesting because in the eight years he's been effing up the free world, he's only handed out 171 pardons and 8 commutations. According to my source, that's less than HALF of what Clinton and Reagan issued in their eight years in office. Bush has his damn nerve. Somebody invite his ass to Orange Mound. In the interim, I'll just go ahead and name the members of the 2008 Class of Freedom, along with my two cents: *Scooter Libby-Commuted* He was the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, who was convicted in 2007 of obstruction of justice and perjury during an investigation into the leaking of the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame. Bush commuted Libby's 3...

T.E.N. Breaking Bullshiggity News, aka-REALLY?!?!?

READ! MEMPHIS, TN – President-Elect Barack Obama is scheduled to appear in a Memphis court on charges of defacing public property. According to court documents, a public works employee filed the charge after he says he found 512 campaigns signs illegally placed on right-of-way land in the city. The document says the signs were found on Germantown Road, Walnut Grove Road, Sam Cooper and Mendenhall Road. City of Memphis spokesperson Toni Holman-Turner says the employee was just doing his job. She says citations have been issued to numerous politicians in the past, including Mayoral, Sheriff and Attorney General Candidates. Memphis City Council passed an ordinance three years ago that made it illegal to place any signs near the right of way. The ordinance was originally put in place for homeowners, to prevent them from placing signs (like for sale, for rent and yard sale signs, etc.) near the right of way. The City says campaign signs aren't exempt. According to Holman-Turner, three c...

Since I’m a Grown Woman

I'll Share. By the way, I totally found this elsewhere. Girls leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a guy to call and make plans. Grown women make their own plans and nicely tell the guy to get in where he fits in. Girls want to control the man in their life. Grown women know that if he's truly hers, he doesn't need controlling. Girls check you for not calling them. Grown women are too busy to realize you hadn't. Girls try to put a man 'on lock' by using sex. Grown women know that it's the sex of the mental kind that makes a man want to 'lock' you down. Girls fake-moan, lay there and take the stabbing. Grown women say, "Just stop", get up, get dressed and walk it out. Girls are afraid to be alone. Grown women revel in it-- using it as a time for personal growth. Girls ignore the good guys. Grown women ignore the bad guys. Girls make you come. Grown women make you come home. Girls worry about not being pretty and/or good enough for th...

T.E.N. Rap News, aka-R.I.P. MC Breed

Michigan rapper MC Breed, who burst onto the national scene with the 1991 hit "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'," has died at age 37. A Washtenaw County medical examiner's spokesman says Eric Breed was pronounced dead Saturday at a friend's home in Ypsilanti, about 30 miles southwest of Detroit. Toxicology reports are pending, but officials say no foul play is suspected. The Detroit News and The Flint Journal say Breed had suffered from kidney failure. Breed grew up in Flint, and "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'" contained several references to the city. He moved to Atlanta in the 1990s. Between 1991 and 2004, Breed recorded 13 albums and collaborated with artists such as Tupac Shakur.
