FAA officials has military jets on standby after the Flight 188 didn’t respond to FAA commands and out or radio communications for more that 75 minutes.

“When you hear that fighter jets were ready to scramble, that just gets you really mad,” said passenger Scott Kennedy.

Some passengers thought the flight seem to drag on and on and the pilots updates were not given, and the flight attendant “unusual comment”  make some sense. When a passenger asked a flight attendant a when will the plane land and the attendant answered ten minutes later,”‘I have no idea when we’re going to get to the terminal,’” he said.

The flight crew announced they were landing soon but nothing happened    said Anne Kroshus of Woodbury. “It was bizarre,” she said. “It certainly didn’t feel like we were circling.”

Louisana Judge Denies Interracial Couple Marriage Licence

Here’s a story that sound like it belong in the 1970’s and earlier not 2009. A justice of the peace in Hammond Louisiana in Suburban New Orleans has denied a interracial couple a martial licence  out of concern for the children.

Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell of Tangipahoa Parrish says from his experience with interracial couples that the marriage don’t survive. Neither Justice Bardwell nor the couple in questions returned calls from the AP.

But Bardwell told the local paper in Hammond the Daily Star he was not a racist. He has in the past married blacks in his home.

“I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house,” Bardwell said. “My main concern is for the children.”

Bardwell have talked to both blacks and whites have conduced that black community and saw  interracial black society has accepted children of these relationships and neither does white society .

“I don’t do interracial marriages because I don’t want to put children in a situation they didn’t bring on themselves,” Bardwell said. “In my heart, I feel the children will later suffer.”

The couple 30 year old Beth  Humphrey and her fiancee 32 year old Terrance Mc Kay both of Hammond, are considering filing a complaint with US Justice Department. Humphrey has told the Daily Star that she contacted Bardwell on October 6 about obtaining a marriage license. When the justice of the peace refused to grant the marriage.

The ACLU of Louisana has commented on the case.

“It is really astonishing and disappointing to see this come up in 2009,” said American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana attorney Katie Schwartzman. “The Supreme Court ruled as far back as 1963 that the government cannot tell people who they can and cannot marry.”

The ACLU will ask the Louisana Supreme Court to investigate Bardwell and remove him from office if necessary.

Colorado Balloon Boy Story Hoax

A story  about a 6 old boy from Ft. Collins drifted away in a balloon turns out to be a hoax. The story  of Falcon Heene who was allegedly climbed in the basket of the UFO  shaped balloon and floated away. The truth the boy was in box in attic above the garage of his family’s home.

The boy’s parents Richard Heene said Falcon’s brother Brad has seen his brother climbed the basket of the balloon and the rope mysteriously untied and the balloon floated away around  11:00AM.

Heene said the family was in the backyard tinkering with balloon when Falcon climbed in. The father chastise his son for climbing into the balloon.

The family  contacted authorities. The authorities say the balloon floated as high 15,ooo ft in the air and landed some 50 miles away near Brighton, Co.; in suburban Denver.

The boy’s family contacted Larimer County Sheriff Office which then put out a manhunt for the child. Military helicopter searched and followed the U.F. O. shaped balloon while the story is became an international sensation.

After the balloon crashed officials searched the craft and the child was not found the the hunt for Falcon Heene intensified. There were reports that basket attached to the balloon came apart and crashed to the ground thankfully that wasn’t the case.

Two hours later word came that little Falcon Heene was at home safe and sound.

“He’s been located. He’s alive. He’s at the house,” Larimer County Sheriff Alderden told reporters, giving a ‘thumbs-up.’

Apparently, Falcon was hiding in a box in the attic in the garage.

The Heene family held the press conference later.
“It was in the really early stages of the invention,” Richard Heene said of the experimental aircraft, holding Falcon in his arms. “This little guy got inside of it…I thought he did anyway, according to Brad.”

“He videotaped it and we watched it back and, sure enough, he got in,” He said. “But obviously he got out.”

“I was in the attic and he scared me because he yelled at me,” Falcon said. “That’s why I went in the attic.”

“I yelled at him. I’m really sorry I yelled at him,” Heene said, choking up and hugging Falcon to him during the news conference.

Heene said the balloon wasn’t tethered properly, and “it was a mishap. I’m not going to lay blame on anybody.”

Saturday Night Live Mocks Obama’s Nobel Prize

Saturday Night Live was at it again, this time it was the awarding the Nobel Peace Prize  on Friday to President Barack Obama.

I’m just waiting for CNN to fact check SNL again for the accuracy. What funny is that the satire is true Obama won because he was not former President George W. Bush.

Pres. Obama World Apology Tour has benefits: President Wins Noble Peace Prize

Breaking News: Who says bashing your own country hurts? Not the Barack Obama, who just won the Nobel Prize for Peace.  The Norwegian Nobel  committee said “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”.

The president who calls for nuclear disarmament, and restart the middle peace talks.

The Irony is that Obama may order 40,000 troop deployment to Afghanistan. Still have soldier in Iran. Also he never spoke with pride with about the United States and American Exceptionalism and the greatness of People. Plus making friends with our enemies and treating our friends as enemies.

Congratulations Mr. President!

UNBELIEVABLE! FRICKEN UNBELIEVABLE!

Socalist is the the new N word

Recently, Carlos Watson an anchor at MSNBC  associated  Socialism as the new N word Watson pointed out that socialism is a type of a government system. But he blamed talk radio and so called birthers using a very broad brush.  This tactic was the used  years ago under President Reagan  with word welfare. However, He used the phrase welfare queen was code for Blacks; which was a horrible mistake.

Recently, the word Urban was considered dirty because urban was  considered code black and Hispanic. The word  now acceptable for developers and real estate marketers to lure to Downtown areas in places like Chicago,Denver, Los Angeles and Atlanta. Even, some young conservatives( even some older divorcee to get back into the dating game) who are not married who want night life excitement and culture move there.(Until they have families and then its off to the suburbs when the kids enter elementary school age.)

Look any word can be misconstrued  to be racist.  Being black myself, I have experience racism both overt and covert. Being called a N as a child and adult. Feeling like I am being watched when I would go window shopping at Macy’s at main Place Mall in Santa Ana, CA in the late 1980′ and early 1990’s.

Socialism is a political ideology and government system.   Historically, some blacks choose some of the most  radical ideologies  including Barack Obama learning at  the knee of Frank Davis, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayres, the  words of Saul Alinsky beacause they feel disenfranchised. Many whites, also did so too.

Look there more important thing than claiming the word socialist is a the new N word.  It makes the black community look whiny. Look if every thing bad had happens to me in my life I could blame Whitey, my life couldn’t change. The black community have bigger fish to fry including double digit unemployment, loosing homes that we should not be able to live in thanks to the housing crisis.  The number of males in jails etc.

Last week  some complained about the picture of the President to look like the joker from the last Batman movie and called it racist. Apparently it was OK when President George W. Bush was done up in Vanity Fair last year or two as the joker. We’re looking  vain and petty. If we cant stand the heat. Then we don’t belong in the kitchen.

We in the black community need to grow up and deal with the real racism and not let perceptions or opposition to the president goals be considered racist then we should not be in public office.
