Fox Sports cancels show after video mocks Asians. They Disregard That They, Too, Came From Afar

Fox Sports cancels show after video mocks Asians - Yahoo! News


And the GOP demands it is morally, spiritually, and ethically fit to run a country.  They are armed and dangerous in more ways than one.  Some people never learn from observation even.

Jada Pinkett Smith And Marc Anthony: What Really Happened?


CC1001. I didn't know JLo and Anthony began a relationsh­ip while he was still married, but I believe his ex-wife was Miss Universe instead of Miss America. I could be wrong though. Also, I figured JLo ran out of eligible Latinos to marry, so she picked him. He looked like a drugger then, he looks like one now. He especially looked like a dreamy-eye­d addict of some sort on HawthoRNe. I had a very bad feeling about it all when he first popped up on that show.

'The Help' is Still No. 1 at the Box Office in its Third Week. Good Deal

'The Help' puts in overtime at No. 1 with $19M - Yahoo! Movies


Excellent.  I hope to see this movie soon. I just bought the Kindle edition on Amazon.  There are about 5,000 reviews on this book; about 90 reviews on the Kindle edition.  I look forward to reading it as soon as possible.  Maybe I will do a review also.  I usually do for myself.  There are some great reviews on this book, which also comes in audiobook form.  But the nice thing about Kindle is its feature, "text-to-speech," that turns it into a talking book.  Thus the $9.99 Kindle edition is worth it to me because of that feature.

Caster Semenya Is on the Road Again, Bless Her

SoCalNic. You are as wrong as two left feet. Not all people can run; this type of running is not the normal running. That kind of statement would shatter some youngsters­' self-estee­m. E.g, they know they cannot run as fast as, or do some other feat as well as another. Yet, if someone says anybody can do it but they know in their heart that they cannot, who would help them understand that is not true. EVERYTHING takes talent. 

People keep talking about "natural"; what is natural but talent. Everybody is born with at least one talent or many talents. Those talents still must be TRAINED and EXERCISED to be better - increase. The owner of two sprinters (male and female) gave each of them one coin (race, talent, gift) to invest in the future. The sprinters didn't invest them because they were afraid they would lose the coins and the owner would condemn them. The owner condemned them because out of fear they refused to invest in themselves­. Now that is low self-estee­m. 
We easily tag "other" people as "egomaniac­." Were you one. Bolt asserts he is the champion in his area. We know this is not his first game - all people can go by is what was done in the past because there is no future yet. In this day he is a champion (cumulativ­e) runner. It could be he was stating a fact and not self-boast­ing.  Maybe he was; maybe not. God knows.

@Kara; @Kstoke. I was really enjoying everybody'­s comments (so far) about racing and never gave it a second thought when "race" came up. How can the commentato­rs talk about a white guy or black guy if everybody does not know what color a runner is unless someone mentions it. Then, you throw this in and totally change the subject - RACEing, and take the focus from this magnificen­t runner and those in his field, changing it to your own "oh, no" subject. You remind me of people who want to talk about whatever they want if they can dictate to others what subject not to bring up. For example, some people demand that nobody talks about Jesus, religion, etc., if one wants their company. That really is mighty arrogant (which may never occur to them). They just find they lose fellowship with those who won't be dictated to about what and what not to talk about. Whenever comments like yours come up, I'm reminded of people who want to run the conversati­on in their own direction - whatever it is - adding up to nothing much but silence.

Several NASCAR Drivers Decline Invitation to White House, Causing a Stir

Several drivers decline invite to White House due to scheduling - From the Marbles - NASCAR Blog - Yahoo! Sports


Mr. Burton said, "Maybe we need to look in the damn mirror." Wouldn't it be wonderful if we as a nation didn't so readily unite because of many deaths or other tragedies only, instead of uniting just as readily because of so many lives.  "United we stand, divided we fall."  Hopefully, we will never hear about ourselves that "Babylon is fallen."
