NY Republicans threaten to impeach Gov. Spitzer

State Republicans have threatened to impeach New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, if he does not resign over a report linking him to a prostitution ring. Questions are being raised over whether he could face criminal charges.

"The payments were made over a period of several months in a way that investigators believe was intended to conceal their purpose and source, which could amount to a crime called structuring," punishable by up to five years in prison, the NY Times said.

Man...He did all of this just for a little sexual seduction? Spitzer has embarrassed himself and the Democratic party. The man is currently holed up in his Manhattan home, he needs to put an end to this circus immediately. Wasn't the look on his wife's face at the press conference priceless?...

Did some one forget to tell the Knick's staff that the Hornets moved to New Orleans?! Take a look at the scoreboard. Notice how it says 'Charlotte', which used to be the home of the old hornets. Embarrassing.

New York's first Black Governor

Pending Gov. Spitzer's imminent resignation, Lt. Governor David Patterson, is next in line to succeed as Governor, making him New York's first Black Governor.

That's a great first to get out of the way, come on it's 2008. A Black Governor and a Black President? It's been long overdue. More information on this as soon as Spitzer mans up and resigns.

Gov. Spitzer named in International Prostitution-ring


Governor Eliott Spitzer, has been linked to an international prostitution ring, in a bombshell revelation, that has the entire City calling for his resignation.


The Governor released a very brief public statement, in which he apologizes to his wife and family, but more interestingly, Spitzer never took the time to deny the charges. Spitzer, a married father of three, is believed to be 'Client 9' named in a federal indictment last week, as a nymph, who paid $4,400 for a night with a prostitute on February 13th, in Washington D.C.

Pope: Hottest ticket in town


You think getting tickets to the SuperBowl was impossible? Try getting your hands on a pair of tickets to see Pope Benedict XVI's mass in Yankee Stadium, on April 20th.

There are 58,000 tickets available. The only way to obtain them is through your local parishes. Count me out I guess..I guarantee you one of these tickets will end up on e-bay.

Russell Simmons vs. Eliot Spitzer

Hip-Hop mogul, Russell Simmons, is making his anger towards Gov. Spitzer very public. Simmons is teed off about promises the Governor made before getting elected, that have yet to see the light of day.

“Not only will I campaign against him," Simmons said over the phone. "I’m going to campaign for a change in those laws and he is going to have to stand up and explain why he promised the state of New York that he is going to make this change and when he got in office, he pushed it to the side.”

“We know Eliot Spitzer has to be our target," he added.

The law Mr. Simmons is referring to is the Rockefeller Drug Law, which Simmon's think is hurting minorities more than ever with harsh drug sentences for even first time offenders. Simmons has been campaigning to reform the Rockefeller Drug Laws for Years! We were even in attendance at the Reform summit held by Russell Simmons and The Hip-Hop Action Summit Network, a few years back.

This is going to get interesting. I know a whole lot of people who are dying to hear the Governor's response. [Source]

Michigan Wolverines, Women's Basketball Coach Kevin Borseth had a historic meltdown after his team gave up an 18-point lead and lost! This is classic.

"Quoted"

"I think we're lied to about a number of things,"

"We see other towers of the same kind hit by planes. Are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, that burnt for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."

"It [WTC] was a money-sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to re-cable all that, to bring up-to-date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them,"

Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, is making headlines for comments she made during a French interview. As you can see from the quotes above, she believes 9/11 was an inside job.

Apple Store, best hook-up spot?

According to Cosmopolitan magazine, an Apple store is the best location for women to pick up single men.

"Most guys are natural gadget lovers, and with sales of iPods and MacBooks skyrocketing, more men than ever are stopping by Apple boutiques. The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can check your email among cuties, take a free workshop on anything from Photoshop to podcasting (a great opportunity to strike up a conversation), or just survey the, ahem, good-looking merchandise."
