Jenny Sanford Says South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford Refused to Be Faithful in Wedding Vows - ABC News
Well I didn't think I would be writing about this interview but it's needed. Like so many women Jenny Sanford tried to have a positive and supportive outlook on her marriage even though its wasn't the fiery romance novels are made of, it was at first glance solid and healthy. I know there were signs like his refusal to keep the fidelity vow that should have been more closely evaluated but sometimes in love you are blind (I speak from experience) but we learn from our mistakes and luckily so did she I pray other women will follow your example and show that deserve better. To think someone you bore 4 children for worked 4 campaigns and 20 years could be so careless, callous and disrespectful is impossible to believe. To you Ms. Sanford my support.
Dear Ms. Sanford:
First I'd like to say I'm honored to call SC my home and your strength through this ordeal has given all South Carolinian women inspiration that we are not to be treated like we don't matter and for that I applaud you. We know right now you and your children have been through one of the worst emotional scenarios possible and know as it is our states culture we will support you it does not matter our political lines, ethnic and racial boundaries, or economic status we are women of the same soil and we feel your pain. Continue to be strong for your children and we wish you the utmost happiness in the future.
From:
Drea
Sending this from ATL by way of Orangeburg, SC with love!

Book Review: "Push" by Sapphire
The Beginning:
Okay so as the book starts its a little difficult to read because its written in the way the character Precious currently speaks and the scene that is set is one of complete destitution and sadness. It's heartbreaking to here her tale of illiteracy and what she feels is intellectual inadequacy to other students in her public school. Her lack of education is tragic enough but to add to her burdens she's sixteen and pregnant for the second time. The book clearly paints a picture of her feeling of self and lays the ground work to how she will evolve as the story continues.
The Middle:
Things seem to always get worse before they get better in any situation and this tale is no exception you read all the atrocities she experience at the hands of her own mother and feel her pain as the story is gracefully illustrated by Sapphire. By this time in a book you can tell if it will be a great read or not and "Push" does not disappoint even with its difficult subject matter the book flows at a pace that lets you absorb and understand what is going and makes you anticipate the next page (like a horror flick where don't want to look and you look anyway). Even in though this tragedy is playing out on the pages you see a gleam of light once she starts her alternative education and her self realization that it's possible for her to overcome her current circumstances successfully.

Prosecutor found with stripper fired : News : WACH
>>> Let's Revisit Joe Wilson for a min: http://dreasthoughtspot.blogspot.com/2009/09/joe-wilson-outburst-windfall-for-sc-dem.html O_o
SC I said this earlier we need to watch who we elect and appoint to public office. You mean to tell me this man is an Assistant Atty General and had stripper money but no hotel $ Seriously. I know I know some of the extra freaky will say what's the big deal its a cemetery but here is the big deal that is a misdemeanor crime to have your genitalia exposed in a public place and yes a cemetery is still public even if most of the population there is dead just sayin. Also sodomy is STILL illegal in SC no they have not taken that of the books yet...even though supposedly "everyone does it" its still a prosecutable crime. I am just not really understanding how do these "educated" and "professional" officials not understand basic tact, quoth, and social norms; it boggles the mind I swear I hate to see what else our wonderful home state will bestow upon us.... As of right now if anybody asks I'm from Fayetteville, NC on the real LOL
(-_-)
Closing Note: Finally SC took the time to discipline this fool appropriately he lost his job!!! Okay Joe and Mark yall up next on the chopping just get your mind ready and head down to the unemployment office in 5, 4, 3, 2.....
and just in time to reap the benefits of the unemployment bill the state just passed hope yall enjoy that along w/ Roland *smh*

COLUMBIA -- A former South Carolina legislator has been fired from the Attorney Generals office in response to a Columbia police report alleging he was discovered Monday with a stripper in a downtown cemetery.
The report released Wednesday states that 66-year-old Roland Corning was stopped Monday after his car was spotted parked in the Elmwood Cemetary near downtown Columbia. Police claim the area is known for sex and drug activity. Corning is a former state legislator who served in the 1990s and had served in the Attorney General's office since 2000.
According the the report, an 18-year-old woman who works at the Platinum Plus strip club was inside the vehicle with Corning along with Viagra and sex toys. Corning told the officer the items were there "just in case," according to the report.
Corning identified himself as a prosecutor and showed his badge issued by the Attorney General's office. He was not arrested. A spokesman for Attorney General Henry McMaster said Wednesday that Corning no longer worked there and was fired almost immediately once the office learned of the incident.
Corning has surrendered his keys and badge and no longer has access to the office, said communications director Mark Plowden via phone.
Columbia Police Chief Tandy Carter defended the officer's actions during an afternoon press conference. The police report states that as soon as the officer arrived the vehicle Corning was in attempted to leave the cemetary at a high rate of speed. Officer Michael D. Wines called other officers to help find the vehicle and it was located and stopped a few blocks from the cemetary on Wayne Street. No citations were issued.
WACH Fox News attempted to contact Corning. There was no answer at his listed phone number.
UPDATE: 10/28/09
A former state lawmaker has lost his job with the state attorney general's office... after a scandalous accusation he was having sex in a cemetery.
According to Columbia police... an officer stopped 66 -year old "Roland Corning" Monday afternoon after his car was spotted at Elmwood Cemetery in an area police say is known for sex.
And--- as if that's not enough--- how police handled the case has some people asking questions.
"If he was engaged in any illegal activity he would have been arrested," says Chief Tandy Carter.
Columbia Police Chief Tandy Carter, defending his officer's actions after police say they found a former attorney general prosecutor with an 18-year old stripper at Columbia's Elmwood Cemetery.
According to an incident report...an officer spotted 66-year old Roland Corning and a Platinum Plus employee in a secluded area of the cemetery Monday afternoon.The report says...Corning tried to speed away when cops approached him...an officer tracked him down several blocks away.
"The officer searched the vehicle, didn't find anything of a criminal nature, or anything illegal and after that was over he was released," says Carter.
What the officer did find might interest you...the report says Corning had Viagra and several sex toys in the car...when officers asked why...Corning reportedly said quote "just in case."
The report says corning flashed his attorney general's badge...he was released and never ticketed...however he was fired just hours after Henry McMaster's office learned of the incident.
"Well that inappropriate behavior and it was appropriate that he no longer be an employee of the office," says McMaster.
"There’s absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about what we did, what that officer did was textbook perfect," says Carter.
Dash-cam video of what happened after the so-called cemetery sexscapade has not been released yet...but Columbia police say it will show officers properly handled the situation.Corning was a state representative in the 1990's.
He had worked in the state attorney general's office since 2000... First for Charlie Condon…then Henry McMaster.

My Messy Divorce from Mainstream Hip Hop --> Updated

Sincerely,
At first I thought it was only me but here's a word my homegirl Ms. Divalicious on the subject:
I like that chica. Well, you know me. I have never really been into Hip Hop. I enjoy true oldies like Sam Cooke, Etta James, Temptations, true soulful singers with a message. I too, am thoroughly disgusted with sodomization on the Hip Hop world. I, in no way, hold the rappers responsible for the actions of the youth nowadays because I feel that burden should lie with their parental figures. However, I would like the current teller of lies, "artists," to define the word art and self evaluate their supercilious, parsimonious, crap they now call Hip Hop. I am utterly disappointed with music today as it is not only Hip Hop that pollutes the world with unreservedly, degrading, comments about their very own cultural ethnic backgrounds and opposite sex. In order for a change to come, all must agree to take a stand and remain there until the desired change takes place.
I would like to say my homegirl I super co-sign, Amen, and yes that is the Benediction!!!

The Endangerd Species: Black America We're not Dead Yet
But on 2nd thought!!! He has some valid points I shouldn't be upset because I am in the "underground minority". It disturb me that I actually know women who fit these hainous descriptions and its scary that they think this is normal or the way things are suppose to be. So let me tell you about my world its one were every1 accepts responsibility for their actions right or wrong. Its a world were ALL conversations are open and honest and DRAMA is not allowed those uneccessary emotional highs and lows are NOT healthy at all! The world I live in is one where mainstream music and popular trends are NOT the jumpoff. That a man has to court you for a while....before he even thinks of getting this gift I call my body. Please ladies if you read this you are more than ass, titties, and a tight cat you are a creation of God and made in his likeness. Its were you thank the Lord everyday for the blessing of just being able to see another day and smiling through it all. I know I may catch flack for this but in my world "the Man" is the leader and I am his help being intelligent, strong, and ambitious is not erased when u let a man take his rightful place as a king in your life. This small little world I live in you understand that the energy you give out is exactly what you will get back this means if you sow negative you reap negative simple as that. Its where you understand the struggle but you don't have an attitude all the time like "everyone" is out to get you, when you think like that the only person that is out to get you is yourself. So to correct this author Black America is not dead but merely an Endangered Species with little pockets of "nature preservations" still trying to hold on and make a difference. All hope is not lost.......

Anti-Columbus Day
We should take this day to honor the indigenous peoples of this land that we find ourselves in as our home. We should celebrate the native peoples triumphs, heartaches, and mourn their tragedies not celebrate the man that brought these circumstances to their shores. We should remember also that this man made the way for slavery and paved the path through the waters to what is now our home not by our choosing but by our ancestors part in a pre-determined plan of hatred, destitution, hard-labor, and robbery. Lets please as a people just think about what this man has done to shape our country and not in a positive way, but in a way that still haunts us even today.

Joe Wilson outburst a windfall for SC Dem Rob Miller | csmonitor.com
Posted using ShareThis
Okay really why does SC keep getting themselves put on the map for the stupidest stuff. This man is suppose to be a professional a Representative for the state and he can't keep his mouth in check!!! Really?!? That means he need not be in public office!! At all. It does not matter who you are or (think u are) you never never over speak someone when they are speaking especially the president... You just made him look that much better and set yourself up to loose in next years election *great work* by the way....lol you have successfully insured the landslide victory of your Democratic opponent because of your lack of tack.
Dear SC Constituents: You are my home state and I love you dearly but we are going to have to do better with electing our public officials. Signs to look for not to vote for them:
Erratic Behavior
Pimp Tendencies
Schizophrenia
Turrets Syndrome
Baby Momma Drama
Illiterate
Ignorant
IQ under 74
Please I beg you don't vote for them!!! Damn!

How It Was Supposed To Be (Military Version) from Ryan Leslie on Vimeo.
I soooo love this song especially this version I love the 1940s big band sound!!!
A Poetic Thought: "Isn't it Funny"
Isn’t it funny when they only see your curves
Only if they could see your curves while contemplating your soul
Reveling in your character
Delighting in your personality
Celebrating your triumphs
The lessons learned in your failures
Assuaging your desires
Isn’t it funny……

A Poetic Thought: Isn't it Funny...
Isn't it funny when they only see your curves
Only if they could see your curves while contemplating your soul

Assuaging your desires
Isn't it funn......
A Poetic Thought:Anything, Something, Everything
In the world I reside you can get "anything"
Your heart's desire no matter the shape
No matter the color
No matter the level of asthetic beauty
But is really wrong for me not to just want "anything"
But , to crave something
To require everything
Even the wonderful things I have yet to think of
To want passion filled eves
To want mornings filled with exploration
To want the afternoon lazying with spending time
To want the days filled with our laughter
To need every single tear
To love every intimate detail we create
Is it really wrong of me to want something to need everything
And NOT to settle for just "anything"
