You Know Its the Sign of the Apocalypse….

When a pregnant 17-year-old girl and her baby daddy represent “Family Values” and are featured prominently at the Republican National Convention.

Aww…ain’t they cute. Holding hands and all.

The Four Horsemen are coming. You better get right with the Lord….

Hillary Puts the Final Nail in the Coffin

Hillary Clinton essentially ended her campaign today and ruined any chance she had of becoming VP by invoking Robert Kennedy’s assassination to defend her decision to stay in the race. Speaking to the editorial board of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader about calls to drop out of the race, Miss Hillary said:

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know I just, I don’t understand it.”

Now no one believes Miss Hillary is hoping something bad will happen to Barack Obama (like assassination) so she can win the Democratic nomination, but referring to assassinations with a Black man running for President is in really bad taste. And in light of Ted Kennedy recently being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, and June being the 40th anniversary of Robert Kennedy’s assassination, Miss Hillary really put her foot in it.

The so-called apology:

“I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever.”
What about Barack Obama??? I notice he isn’t mentioned in this non-apology apology. So Miss Hillary didn’t mean to offend the Kennedy family, but Obama on the other hand….

But leave it to MSNBC’s Keith Olberman to put the verbal smackdown on Miss Hillary. His special comment tonight was blistering to say the least.

Faking a Death to Avoid Paying Bills?

This unbelievable story, happened right here in my hometown of North Charleston, SC. To keep the bill collectors at bay, Melanie Grant submitted a fake obituary to a funeral home that was published in the local newspaper The Post and Courier. In the obituary, Melanie Grant said her daughter Melissa Grant a US Airforce officer was killed in Iraq. The problem is not only didn’t Melissa Grant die and was not a US Airforce officer, Melissa Grant DOES NOT EVEN EXIST!!!! From The Post and Courier:

Melanie Grant, 39, said she thought she could buy time with creditors if she told them her daughter had died. A paid obituary published Thursday and Friday in The Post and Courier stated Lt. Melissa Hope Grant, 24, died May 11 in Iraq. “I just made it up. Honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking,” a tearful Melanie Grant said. A photograph accompanied the obituary. Grant said she tore the photo from the pages of a bridal magazine.

This is who the obit named as the relatives of the imaginary Melissa Grant:

“…the beloved daughter of Mrs. Melody Grant and Mr. Michael “Candy” King,step-daughter of the late Mr. Marcus Grant; sister of Kelondria Pendergrath, Kelvin Pendergrath, Raheem Brown, Akhaeem Brown, and Becole “Cola” Scales; granddaughter of Mrs. Darnell Grant and Mr.Henry “Muffin” King; niece of Shirline Denise Wright, Quindella “Que” Simmons, Meka Butler, and Marvin “Butter” Myers; cousin of Xavier D. Stewart, Sr., Karin L. Bland and Mercedes A. Jones.”

Take a good look at those names. Now here is the picture that was printed in the paper as “Melissa” that was taken from a bridal magazine.

Now Ms. Grant’s race wasn’t mentioned in the article but names like Kelondria, Raheem, Akhaeem, Becole, Quindellla, and Shirline don’t necessarily conjure up images of white folks. If anyone knows any white people by those names please email me. Apparently the funeral home director never met the mother and only spoke to her on the phone. He did meet with two women who claimed they were the aunts of “Melissa”. Maybe he thought the white girl in the picture was biracial, adopted, or REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, light-skinned.

Ms. Grant claims to be on disability and raising two grandchildren and one stepgrandchild. However, Ms. Grant has a criminal record (Of course) that includes convictions on “loitering for the purpose of prostitution” and a pending fradulent check charge.

I am sorry to hear about Ms. Grant’s financial difficulties, but claiming your imaginary child died in the Iraq war just to get out of paying some bills is taking it a bit too far.(source)
