Okay. I ran across this video by accident, and I wanted to share.
I’m not trying to say it’s true, but I will say it’s funny.
Enjoy! PEACE!

Wells Fargo erred in thousands of foreclosures
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Wells Fargo admitted Wednesday it made mistakes in the paperwork for thousands of foreclosure cases and promised to fix them. The San Francisco-based bank said it plans to refile documents in 55,000 of the cases by mid-November. The company said not all those cases included errors but didn't say how many thousands did. Wells Fargo described the mistakes as technical and said it has no plans to halt the foreclosure process, though filing new paperwork will cause some delays. "We don't believe that there are instances in which the foreclosures would not have occurred otherwise," said Teri Schrettenbrunner, a Wells Fargo spokeswoman. The documents are being refiled in the 23 states where a judge's approval is needed to complete a foreclosure.

VIDEO: Sesame Street Tells Girls to Love Their Hair By: Lauren Williams | Posted: October 13, 2010
In this lovely clip from Sesame Street, a self-loving puppet, in a song clearly geared toward little black girls, teaches kids to love their hair just as it is. It's a pretty fabulous message for young black girls, who are bombarded with messages, both subtle and overt, that tell them their natural hair texture is not desirable. Can you tell us how to get to Sesame Street? It's such a happy place ...
Dairy: 6 Reasons You Should Avoid It at All Costs
These days, it seems like almost everybody does. Celebrities, athletes, and even former president Clinton's head of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala, are all proud to wear the white "milk mustache." After all, everyone knows that you need milk to be healthy ... Dairy is nature's perfect food -- but only if you're a calf. If that sounds shocking to you, it's because very few people are willing to tell the truth about dairy. In fact, criticizing milk in America is like taking on motherhood, apple pie, or baseball. But that's just what I'm about to do.
Serena Williams Wins 2010 Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams won her second straight Australian Open championship, ending Justine Henin's hopes of a Grand Slam title in her return from retirement with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory Saturday. Williams withstood a determined challenge from Henin before securing her fifth Australian Open title overall and 12th Grand Slam singles championship overall, tying Billie Jean King. King was at the stadium on Saturday night to take part in a pre-match ceremony to honor the 40-year anniversary of Margaret Court's four Grand Slam tournament wins in 1970. "Billie, we are tied," Williams said. "So I've reached my goal."
The "Censored Eleven" Problem Posted by Emru Townsend
For years (and years, and years) I've been reading the same tired arguments about racist cartoons, particularly those that use black stereotypes. In light of a recent re-emergence of the discussion, Thad Komorowski has nailed the other complaint that I've never fully given voice to: that many cartoon fans, in their desire to own these films, have bent over backwards to claim that these films are not racist. Because, let's face it, they most emphatically are. If a joke is being made with the understanding that something is funny because a character is black, then it's racist. It's a pretty simple equation. (And please spare me the "I have a black friend who loves these cartoons" argument; I think Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs is one of the funniest, snappiest, and most brilliant cartoons Bob Clampett ever directed, but denying that it's entirely built around racist imagery is like denying gravity.)
Heavy infant in Grand Junction denied health insurance
GRAND JUNCTION — Alex Lange is a chubby, dimpled, healthy and happy 4-month-old. But in the cold, calculating numbered charts of insurance companies, he is fat. That's why he is being turned down for health insurance. And that's why he is a weighty symbol of a problem in the health care reform debate. Insurance companies can turn down people with pre-existing conditions who aren't covered in a group health care plan.
Wesley gets 'Sniped' By JAMES DORAN, KAJA WHITEHOUSE and RICHARD WILNER
Wesley Snipes can't seem to get anything right when it comes to his personal finances. The notorious star of the hit "Blade" trilogy found a new kind of fame last year when he was sentenced to three years in jail for trying to fraudulently obtain $11.4 million of tax refunds between 1999 and 2001. He was also nabbed for willfully failing to file tax returns.
Allee Willis’ Kitsch O’ The Day – An UNBELIEVABLE 21st Night Of September!
Yes, it was the opening line of my very first hit and it was the greatest way ever to celebrate the opening of The Allee Willis Museum Of Kitsch with bad karaoke versions of the song and have Verdine White and Larry Dunn, original members of Earth Wind & Fire who played on “September” and every other EWF classic, back up me and Luenell, the hysterical hooker from Borat, on a $39 1981 Casio MT-65 and a 1965 knock-off Apollo bass. We proceeded straight into “Boogie Wonderland” with hundreds of people in attendance at Ghettogloss singing along. It was that scrumptious combination of the very highest form of the art smashed together with the very lowest that made this aKitschionado’s heart spinnnnnnnn out of control!
A Snake, Afterall, is a Snake
Last month, Hyatt Hotels Corp. fired 98 housekeepers, many of them veteran employees who made $15-per-hour, and replaced them with $8-per-hour "temporary" workers provided by Hospitality Staffing Solutions, an outsourcing firm in Atlanta. While the details are murky, and Hospitality Staffing Solutions has refused to respond to this correspondent's repeated request for specifics, at least some of these new employees are reportedly "guest workers'' on H-2B visas. The guest workers were trained by the Hyatt veterans, who were told the new recruits were not replacements, but part-timers who would "fill in" for sick and vacationing permanent workers. According to union officials, after successfully training the new workers, the Hyatt veterans were told to clean out their lockers for "health purposes." They gamely did so. The next day they were told to hit the road.
She is taken. (The Field Negro)
" European media have played up photos showing Michelle Obama greeting many leaders at the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh summit last week with a kiss but stiffly holding out her arm for a handshake when it came time to greet Berlusconi. The photos show Berlusconi's gazing at Mrs. Obama's gown, instead of her face, and holding his arms out as if in delight at what he sees, while the U.S. President looks on, apparently not amused."
Obama Facebook Poll: "Should Obama Be Killed?" Pulled From Site, Secret Service Investigate

The Beating of Derrion Albert Is Must-See TV

'For Colored Girls' Who Don't Like Tyler Perry He's just not good enough for Ntozake Shange.
Getting his hot little hands on Ntozake Shange’s 1975 play For Colored Girls who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf was coup of the year for Tyler Perry. Not only will he produce and direct the upcoming film version, the King of Coonery will also write the adaptation of what may be the most important work about black female identity ever. Ask any black woman, especially the artsy/moody/self-aware type, about For Colored Girls … and she will respond with a wistful look and fond memories.

Complexion for the Rejection: Philly Swim Club Fined for Racism • By The Buzz | Posted: 9/27/09

BYTES: SARAH PALIN, “A PAIL OF WATER FROM A SHALLOW WELL”

Is Lou Dobbs, CNN's Resident Bigot, on His Way Out? By Don Hazen, AlterNet. Posted 9/29/09
The heat on CNN to dump right-wing nativist news host Lou Dobbs has reached a boiling point. Several grassroots and Internet campaigns urging CNN to drop Dobbs in response to his relentless hate-talk are gathering momentum and tens of thousands of signatures. Will Dobbs finally be stopped from using his on-air bully pulpit to bash immigrants and spread misleading and inaccurate information? One major anti-Dobbs campaign, Basta Dobbs.com, calls Dobbs the "most dangerous man for Latinos in America."
What's the Border Fence Good for? Subsidizing Mexican Scrap Metal Entrepreneurs
Last week, the Government Accountability Office released a depressing audit of the US-Mexico border fence we’ve been trying to put up for the past three years. The report caused about 8 hours of pretend outrage and was promptly forgotten. It found that we’d already shoveled $2.4 billion to half-seal 600 miles of the border since 2005 (we still have about 100 to 200 miles to go) and we would need to spend an additional $6.5 billion over the next 20 years just plugging up holes punched in the fencing.

Burning Questions for the Authors of 'Marijuana Is Safer'
AlterNet: In Marijuana Is Safer, you compare and contrast the relative harms and legal status of marijuana and alcohol. So, in what ways is marijuana safer? Steve Fox: Marijuana is safer than alcohol in virtually every way that matters. First, marijuana is far less toxic. Alcohol, quite literally, is a poison. That is why excessive alcohol use often causes vomiting. The body is rejecting the poison. And, as most people know, consuming too much alcohol can result in an overdose death. Marijuana, on the other hand, is virtually non-toxic to healthy cells and major organs. In fact, the active components in marijuana – known as cannabinoids -- actually mimic chemicals naturally produced by the body (so-called endocannabinoids) that are necessary for the maintenance of proper health. Further, unlike alcohol, marijuana does not depress the central nervous system, making an overdose impossible, regardless of how much a person consumes. (There are no recorded marijuana overdose cases in history.) Beyond overdose deaths, the U.S. government estimates that consumption of alcohol is the primary cause of about 35,000 American deaths annually. And those are deaths attributed just to the adverse health impacts of alcohol ingestion on the body – not deaths from alcohol-induced accidents or incidents. The comparable government figure for marijuana deaths is zero. CLICK The pic for full article.
Why Is iTunes Selling White Supremacy?
iTunes has removed songs deemed homophobic, yet allows white supremacists to peddle their hate on their website. “Let’s see out the Fuhrer’s dream/To break the back of the eternal jew/Rid the world of the evil we’ve seen/Make it safe for me and you.” -- From “Under the Hammer” by Brutal Attack “When the battle is over and the victory is won/And the White man’s lands are owned by true white people/the traitors will all be gone.” -- From “White Warriors” by Skrewdriver If you thought such unabashedly bigoted music was available only from underground sources, you’d be wrong. With a few clicks at Apple’s iTunes website, Internet users can buy albums and songs from white supremacist groups such as Bully Boys, Final War, Stormtroop 16 and H8Machine.......Click the Flick for the whole story

MUSIC LEGENDS WE'VE LOST
Isaac Hayes 8/20/42 – 8/10/08.....The baldheaded, baritone soul crooner, who won Grammy awards and an Oscar for the theme from the 1971 action film "Shaft," was found unconscious at his home in Memphis, next to a still-running treadmill. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was perhaps better known to a younger audience as the voice of Chef from the hit cartoon show “South Park.” He was 65....Click photo for more

From the sidebar, and this is the best news I've heard all year:
"The economy, Sarah Palin and his own recent debate performance have propelled Barack Obama to a commanding lead in key swing states - and left John McCain in dire straits, according to Quinnipiac University's latest survey. In Florida, Obama has surged from seven points behind to eight points ahead in the past 20 days. He now leads McCain 51% to 43% in the Sunshine State, said Quinnipiac's Florida expert, Peter Brown."
Thanks for taking up the case of Troy Davis, who was scheduled to be executed in Georgia until the US Supreme Court decided to review his case.
I would pose the issue for the US Supreme Court this way: Should a man be executed even when evidence that became available after his trial proves that he is not guilty?
