Late last night while watching the NBA game (Lakers and Utah) I did some channel surfing (Yes men love to do this between commercials). I came up on the Keith Olbermann show, Countdown, on MSNBC. He was giving his closing commentary for the day. I was shocked. Watch for yourself in the clips above. I am not used to a reporter on TV talking about a sitting president the way he did. I was expecting them to cut him and go to a commercial.
Politics and Sports go hand in hand…right. Well I guess it depends…lol. My cousin was chatting with me online about the dual citizen issue in Jamaica. She was talking about the hypocrisy of foreign born player who represent us for football because they are the best at what they do. There was alot of politically maneuvering to get these player on the team (politics and sports mix in Jamaica…sometimes). Her questions is why can’t we have dual-citizen politicians if they are the best at what they do.
I often get forwarded emails from friends and other users asking me to support “somthing”. Today I got an email about Jamaican who is a finalist in the network ABC’s Picture of Health contest 2008. She is 47 years old and does not look it at all. Her story is pretty good also. So here goes my blatant pug. Vote for her here. Mad Jamaican has made a video (above) encouraging you to vote.
Sometimes I get little tibits of news from little “birdies” with agendas. The bold and highlight the items that provides “fuel” the their fire. This news story is one of those tibits that I believe has a hidden agenda. So what if Ziggy Marley was at a gay bar with Dennis Rodman. Yes I know Jamaica has the reputation of being the most “Homophobic” nation on the earth but I think for the most part Jamaicans respect people for who they are. Guilt by association seems to be the new smear campaign. Below is the story in the Miami Herald.
REHAB FOR RODMAN
Dennis Rodman sure didn’t look like a man ready to enter rehab: Days after being arrested on suspicion of felony domestic battery, TMZ.com caught the bad boy hanging out Saturday afternoon with friends — including Marcy Klein (Calvin’s daughter), Ziggy Marley and Miami Beach drag diva Elaine Lancaster — at Lincoln Road gay bar Score. Lancaster confirms Rodman will enter an outpatient program in Fort Lauderdale. ”We all wish him only the best,” she said.
I like to see Jamaican culture and music on TV anywhere in the world. But this version of Bob Marley’s ‘I shot the sheriff” by Jason Castro on American Idol was just terrible. I cringed while watching it.
