- Hello
pot, my name is kettle and I’m a well-past-her-prime pop music hack who has
thrived for far too long on far too little talent and needs to just shut the
hell up and go away. The kettle in this case is the Material Skank, Madonna, who
derisively labeled her own fans "bitches"
after being booed for arriving onstage a hour late at her Manchester, England show
earlier this week. The pop hack eventually arrived and played Manchester Arena
as part of her Rebel Heart tour, but not before fans grew tired of the long
wait and lighting up social media with all manner of complaints before
vocalizing their unrest when the MS finally hit the stage. Some tweeted that
the singer was being rude to fans who would have to get up early the next day
and go to work, but ever the spoiled, attitudinal diva, she was having none of
that and let the crowd know what she thought of them booing her. "I don't
like to be late by the way and all you bitches who keep complaining about it
can shut the f*ck up. I'm not back there eating chocolate, filing my nails and
getting my extensions done." Oh, OK you overrated hag, what was
your reason for keeping thousands of people who paid way too much money for
your crappy show standing, wondering and wasting their valuable time? "The video
crashed... so we had to wait until we could reboot. No selfish diva bitch
reason. If you diva bitches want to keep complaining about it [then] don't come
to my show,” she said. Spoken live a true diva bitch………
- Trains
are a major part of getting around Europe, serving as a mostly reliable,
efficient means of connecting countries for locals and tourists alike. Spain is
one of those places where commutes from Madrid to Barcelona or San Sebastian to
Pamplona are easily done by rail… unless, of course, the trains can't run because
360 meters of high tension cable were cut and
stolen early one morning, causing short circuits and several small fires at
installations north of Barcelona. The state-owned Adif railway infrastructure
company announced that copper thieves are suspected of causing major
disruptions on commuter train services around the northeastern city, disrupting
the daily travels of some 60,000 passengers and 200 trains. While the problem
was identified quickly, Adif officials said the disruption could last several
days. This is hardly a new problem, as the company claims to have had more than
350 cases of cable thefts this year. Thieves stealing copper from construction
sites is a common threat at residential and commercial projects in the United
States, but thieving copper from rail lines appears to be a much bigger
headache in Espana at the moment. Regional police believe that copper from
previous thefts was taken for sale on the black market and if you don’t believe
that there can still be a black market for such a common metal as copper in
2015, then clearly your world view is a bit too narrow and naïve………
- If
the police blotter ink is being spilled and Division I athletes are acting like
fools, it must be that ever-awkward season of the year between the end of
college football’s regular season and the start of bowl games. For many D-I
football players, the semester or quarter is over and aside from the two or
three hours a day they have set aside for practice or lifting, there is far too
little to do and far too much time to get into things they shouldn’t be doing.
The good news for sophomore safety Jayme Otomewo
and junior defensive tackle Deonte Reynolds is that they don’t need to worry
about this problem any longer because these two Arizona State football players
have been dismissed from the program following their arrests for unlawfully
entering a Tempe apartment. This dynamic duo was booked at the Maricopa County
Sheriff's Office on burglary and theft charges and according to police, at the
time of their arrests, Otomewo had stolen credit cards and other
items in his possession. Police also reported that the resident of
the apartment locked herself in a
bedroom after the two players unlawfully entered her unlocked apartment called
police and waited for officers to arrive. The players had a hell of a
story as to why they were in someone else’s apartment at night without
authorization. Otomewo and Reynolds told police they had been searching
for a vacuum because their apartment had to be cleaned and took only a few
steps into the other apartment before leaving, but none of it makes sense because
who the hell just goes bumping around their apartment building breaking into
other units because they don’t have a vacuum? Oh, and police found a butter
knife that was bent on the front end in Otomewo's pocket and he later admitted
taking a speaker and other items from another apartment. Couple that with Reynolds
being found in possession of items that he could not fully explain and it’s not
hard to see why these knobs were both the third and fourth ASU players to be
arrested this season and the latest in a long line of college football players
to go full-on bonehead in mid-December………
- Is
Walter White alive and well, living in Texas and teaching the next generation
of would be grassroots drug-dealing entrepreneurs? Maybe not, but don’t act like
an unidentified sixth-grade teacher at Bear Creek
Intermediate in Keller, Texas isn't well on his or her way to mimicking the legendary
protagonist of “Breaking Bad” with an assignment that for some reason had a few
parents objecting to what little Joey or Ashley was learning in class. The
assignment was called “The Cocaine Trade: From Field to Street” and in theory,
it asked 11-year-old boys and girls to develop a step-by-step plan showing how
cocaine gets from a drug cartel to a drug dealer on the street. On the surface,
it’s a task educating these kids about an extremely dangerous and illegal substance
makes its way from South America to a street corner near them, giving them a
better understanding of something they want to avoid for their entire life.
However, the school district is reviewing the assignment thanks to parents like
Scott Pick, a parent of an 11-year-old boy, who contacted administrators after
his son brought home the study sheet for the Bolivian marching powder project.
Pick admitted to being shocked by what he saw and grabbing the paper away from
his son immediately. Administrators responded with a canned statement in which
they said the assignment will be reviewed before being considered for future
use, which is a nice way of saying this one is going away and never coming
back, unlike the teacher, who will be reprimanded, possible given an unpaid
week or two off and brought back to work with a stern warning to keep the names
of all illegal drugs and their distribution processes out of his or her mouth
going forward as it pertains to assignments and lessons……..
