BEST POEM IN THE WORLD
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp–
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, ‘What’s the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake.
‘And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber – give me a clue.’
‘Hush, child,’ He said, ‘they’re all in shock.
No one thought they’d be seeing you.’
JUDGE NOT!!
Remember…Just going to church doesn’t make you a
Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Every saint has a PAST…
Every sinner has a FUTURE!

Sixers Dump Allen Iverson for the Season. Allen Iverson’s short return to the Philadelphia 76ers has ended. The point guard, who once led the team to the NBA finals, will not come back to the organization for the rest of the season, the Sixers announced Tuesday. The decision follows Iverson’s month-long absence from the team in order to deal with the undisclosed illness of his 4-year-old daughter, Messiah. Iverson, who returned to the 76ers as a free-agent in December, has not played since Feb. 20. “After discussing the situation with Allen, we have come to the conclusion that he will not return to the Sixers for the remainder of the season, as he no longer wishes to be a distraction to the organization and teammates that he loves very deeply,” team president Ed Stefanski said. “It has been very difficult for Allen and the team to maintain any consistency as he tries to balance his career with his personal life.” Iverson has returned to Atlanta to be with his family. Coach Eddie Jordan said at practice it was best for Iverson to move on and put his focus on his daughter. “I think it was the right thing to do at the right time,” Jordan said. “His body of work has proven to be a terrific body of work in the history of the NBA.”
Three Teachers Mock Black History Month with Rodman, RuPaul and O.J. Black History Month has truly come to a close…and with what three white male teachers would call a “bang.” The school, which is 90% latino, was putting on a Black History Month parade where the children would carry pictures of famous African Americans. Well the bang those teachers were trying to make was in the form of Dennis Rodman (basketball player gone wild), RuPaul (drag queen of all drag queens), and O.J. Simpson (football player done lost his damn mind…acquitted of murdering his wife and her friend, yet still manages to land in jail for armed robbery). It appears that the teachers little jokey joke blew up in their faces. But, the only explosion was their jobs going up in flames. According to the Associated Press, the teachers have been removed from the classroom. But if the NAACP’s Los Angeles chapter president, Leon Jenkins, has anything to say about it, they will be fired. It all happened Friday at Wadsworth Avenue Elementary School in South Los Angeles. One of the parents, Sharon Tinson, told AP she was shocked to see O.J., but she “just laughed.” She has two daughters that attend the school. She also said, “Simpson, like Rodman, was a great athlete before falling from grace. RuPaul simply has an alternative lifestyle, she added.
Macy’s Nordstrom’s Others BUSTED for Selling Used Underwear. By a show of hands, how many of you buy clothes, towels, underwear, etc. that are not packaged and use them without washing them first? Don’t be ashamed, surely you’re not alone. Yesterday, NBC’s Today show exposed a ring of stores that prescribe to allowing customers return used underwear. Well, to be fair, they don’t know if they were used or not. They didn’t take out their black light on them or run them through a lab or anything, but isn’t it scary enough to know that they allow you to return them? NBC was able to get one clerk (who is probably a disgruntled former employee of Victoria’s Secret) to give up the goods on Victoria’s Secret. She went as far as to say they have taken a pair of panties with an “odor” and let them hang up until said smell was gone. YIKES! Now that is the worst of the worst. They were able to prove that stores like Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, The Gap, Express, Victoria’s Secret and others were allowing their customers to return their underwear. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but didn’t stores used to have a policy, a POSTED policy, that all underwear is non-returnable?

Is Mariah Carey’s drinking getting out of control. At a recent show in Las Vegas, concert goers had to wait two hours for her to come on stage. Reps for Carey claim she needs help with her throat, but inside sources say it’s her drinking, and it’s out of control. She loves champagne, and she drinks it like water. Carey has been drinking for a while, but it wasn’t until the Palm Springs Film Festival when she appeared in public drunk that people started to notice. Her close friends want her to get help, and her husband Nick Cannon is having a hard time dealing with her. He has his own career, but he may have to put it on hold to help his wife. Will she seek the help she needs? Can Nick get her away from the champagne?
Mariah should be happy, don’t understand her behavior. Now what is her insecurities? Surely not
her body let her show and tell. As though that is the only thing she has going for herself. OK girlfriend
tried acting whoop de do, don’t leave your day job. You are a weak mind, strong person, with a wonderful
husband to lean on, let him help you, or are you that needy?
