Party Crashers at the White House

 Ok so let me get this straight.

 I have to damn near undress to go through a metal detector at the airport. I daily get interrogated by U.S. Marshalls when I come through the federal building where I work. I actually once had my Starbucks coffee cup inspected.

 Oh, but this couple can just stroll all up in a party with the president of the United States. No invitation. No background check. No clearance. No one inspecting their cup of coffee. They can take photos with the Vice President and Chief of Staff. They can post pictures from the party on Facebook.

I on the other hand can't bring my Blackberry into the Federal Building WHERE I HAPPEN TO WORK BY THE WAY because it has a camera on it.

 Are you freaking kidding me?

This is the second high profile occasion where the Secret Service has slipped up. The most recent was when the Iraqi journalist threw shoes at former President Bush.

What are you guys doing? I get searched like a terrorist to enter a building thousands or miles away from the president, but these people can walk right in. Huh? Am I missing something here?

Sammy Sosa looks like a hot mess

Uh, Sammy did you really think no one was going to notice that you’re, oh, 15 shades lighter than normal?

It’s not like you’ve been in the public eye for a million years.

It’s not like we don’t have a reference point for how you used to look.

But all that aside, I really get annoyed when people think they’re better looking because they’re lighter-skinned. I believe there are beautiful light-skinned people, beautiful dark-skinned people, beautiful fair-skinned people, beautiful olive-skinned people, albino people, white people.

Its sad that with all Sammy’s accomplished and achieved that he’s obviously unhappy with himself. He had the nerve to say in an interview that he’s not trying to be Michael Jackson. I can’t tell you’re doing the same thing.

Even if you give him the benefit of the doubt that the cream is intended to soften his skin, softening means making it softer not lighter, duh.

Its also sad that if you look at the pictures the skin cream doesn’t balance out his face. He looks splotchy. It looks like he's wearing white face. If you’re rich and you’re gonna go white, I’m gonna at least need you to get a better bleaching cream.

Being Fat Against the Law???? WTF?

When I saw this headline on the GlobalPost.com:

Fat in Japan? You're breaking the law.

 My first thought was, "oh, hell naw." I'd better stay my chubby self out of Japan. There would definitely be an ill-fitting jumpsuit and prison cell waiting for me. But then I read the article and parts of it actually makes sense.

 Hear me out. Its not like they're going to jail you for being large, what they're doing is incentivizing companies who encourage their workers to be fit. Primarily they're concerned with the size of a person's waist which is a good indicator, and possibly predisposes people to metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of dangerous medical factors like high blood sugar, high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

 The law only applies to people who are over 40 years old. Right now Japan has one of the lowest rates of obesity in the world at about 5%, compared with the U.S. where its about 35%. I don't agree that good health should be mandated. I do like the idea that companies benefit from healthy employees and thus are encouraged to help make their employees healthier. I haven't read the new healthcare bill, (its 2000 pages, are you freaking kidding me?), but my understanding is that insurance companies are going to have a harder time denying people with preexisting health conditions. If this is the case, maybe some consideration could go towards rewarding people who make an effort to be fit. Lowering their insurance premiums is a good way to do that.

 I don't agree however that this Japan's method is necessarily the healthiest way to go about it, but some aspects are worth considering. I'm certain a law like this could lead to eating disorders. What do you guys think?

This is kind of scary...

Katt Williams: This story just keeps getting better.

 (Shaking my head.) The Katt Williams story just keeps getting better. I've posted a video on this with the updated information. He's apparently been releaased on bond.

If you hadn't heard the story or read my last blog entry apparently the place where he was arrested Monday for apparently burglarizing his own home. A report I heard today said that the person he burglarized in the home was late R&B singer Aaliyah's uncle, Barry Hankerson. They were working together reportedly on a movie about Barack Obama. (Shaking my head). \The funniest/saddest thing to me is that he once got arrested for trying to check into a hotel in a bathrobe. Are you freaking kidding me?

 Weigh in on this. Is Katt a criminal or is he being railroaded?

How is it burglary if you live there?

 Somebody help me out. I just finished reading the CNN story on Katt William's burglary arrest. Katt apparently broke in to a home with a crowbar. Strange, but even stranger is its a home where he'd been living for the past month. What the story doesn't make clear is how its a burglary if he was living there at the time. I'll be the first to say that using a crowbar to get into the home where you are living is not the smartest move. It doesn't really make you look innocent. But again, the story never says if he'd been asked to leave or if he was locked out or what. We need more information.

 And on another note Katt this is a mugshot, not your school yearbook. Maybe a little less of a smile. I'm just saying.

Ok, so no one checked this?

 Stories like this crack me up.

 Are you freaking kidding me?

You mean to tell me that not one person on the T-shirt committee had the forethought to say hey lets make sure that this is the right phone number. Oftentimes we are in such a rush in life that we cut corners and ultimately end up making a mistake that costs us even more time and more money. A 5-second phone call could have saved the school this embarassment.

 There's one winner in this debacle and that's the sex line. They're certain to gain at least one new customer out of this. (Shaking my head).
