Vanessa Strikes Back! After ten long years of being together and constant cheating, Vanessa Bryant has filed for divorce from Lakers Superstar Kobe Bryant. Vanessa, 29, is going to get paid. Kobe did not have a prenup (*what an idiot)! The Bryants have two kids. Kobe has never been faithful to his wife. There was the famous 2003 Colorado rape case, and there have been reports of two children by other women. Vanessa has been unhappy for a while, and she struck at the right time by waiting it out. By going the ten-year distance, she stands to gain half his fortune, plus homes, spousal and child support. Kobe may be a great basketball player, but his arrogance is going to cost him. He went against the advice of his parents, lawyers and people who had his best interest at heart. He is going to lose a lot of money. He is worth $150 million, and it looks like he’ll lose half. Meanwhile, don’t be surprised if he starts dating a Kardashian. They would love to get their hands on the money that’s left.

It’s the type of coincidence every politician dreads. On Tuesday, political commenters reportedthat one of Romney’s go-to campaign catch-phrases, “Keep America American,” was a central theme of Ku Klux Klan publications in the 1920s, and served as a rallying cry for the white supremacist group’s campaign of violence and intimidation against black Americans, as well as Catholics, gay people and Jews.
The progressive Americablog first posted examples of the overlap, and a spokeswoman for Mitt Romney declined to comment on the matter when reached by HuffPost.
The Republican primary debates have ignited issues of immigration and poverty in this country, both of which disproportionally affect minorities. But Romney, a multi-millionaire, has steered away from some of the more drastic positions his rival candidates have taken on these issues.
Americablog includes a video of Romney speaking, in which he certainly sounds like he’s using the slogan. Romney is also quoted in an L.A. Times piece repeating the phrase.
The slogan was first used in the 1850s by members of the anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic movement called the “Know Nothing Party,” many of whom were reacting to the dramatic influx of immigrants in the mid-19th century, especially those fleeing Ireland’s Potato Famine.

CINCINNATI – A landlord found to have discriminated against a black girl by posting a “White Only” sign at a swimming pool wants a state civil rights commission to reconsider its decision.
The Ohio Civil Rights Commission found on Sept. 29 that Jamie Hein, who’s white, violated the Ohio Civil Rights Act by posting the sign at a pool at the duplex where the teenage girl was visiting her parents. The parents filed a discrimination charge with the commission and moved out of the duplex in the racially diverse city to “avoid subjecting their family to further humiliating treatment,” the commission said in a release announcing its finding.
An investigation revealed that Hein in May posted on the gated entrance to the pool an iron sign that stated “Public Swimming Pool, White Only,” the commission statement said.
Several witnesses confirmed that the sign was posted, and the landlord indicated that she posted it because the girl used in her hair chemicals that would make the pool “cloudy,” according to the commission.
Hein, of Cincinnati, hung up when The Associated Press called her for comment Tuesday. A message was left at her lawyer’s office.
The commission’s statement said that its investigation concluded that the posting of such a sign “restricts the social interaction between Caucasians and African-Americans and reinforces discriminatory actions aimed at oppressing people of color.”
Commissioners were scheduled to hear Hein’s request for reconsideration at a meeting Thursday in Columbus, commission spokeswoman Brandi Martin said.
If the commissioners uphold their original finding, the case would be referred to the Ohio attorney general’s office, which would represent the commission’s findings before an administrative law judge, Martin said.
Penalties in the case could include a cease-and-desist order and even punitive damages, but the administrative law judge would determine any penalties, Martin said.
It still would be possible for the parties to reach a settlement before resorting to legal action, she said.
Any decision by the administrative judge could be appealed to Hamilton County Common Pleas Court in Cincinnati, Martin said.
NEWARK, N.J. — Authorities say a New Jersey man who died after having his penis injected with silicone was trying to get it enlarged.
The woman police say gave the injection, resulting in his death, has been charged with manslaughter. She made her first court appearance Tuesday.
The Essex County prosecutor’s office says 34-year-old Kasia Rivera gave 22-year-old Justin Street the injection in May. She has pleaded not guilty but remains in jail on $75,000 bail.
Street died the day after his injection. His death was ruled a homicide following an investigation and a medical examiner’s determination he died of a silicone embolism.
Rivera also faces charges accusing her of the unauthorized practice of medicine out of her East Orange apartment. Authorities say they’re investigating whether she gave other people similar injections.

If you have had the opportunity to watch some of the Christmas television commercials, you have to acknowledge all those fabulous, funny, hysterical “Best Buy Santa” commercials. Most time I push the mute button when commercials come on but these are a hoot! If you get a chance as I said to enjoy it will give you a good laugh. Also YouTube, has a list of these commercials as well. Kudos to Best Buy, very good!
